人笨,没看懂解析。麻烦了。
[size=12.0012px]Life in an urban center, with daily experiences of subways, crowded sidewalks and dense living, provides countless opportunities for social contact and connection. Exurban life, by contrast, exists in the openness of freeways and one-acre lots, exhibiting little that would suggest social commonality. Yet studies show that people who live in exurbia consistently rate their feeling of connectedness to their community as strong whereas urban dwellers more frequently express feelings of isolation.
Which of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the difference in the reported feelings of connectedness between urban and exurban dwellers?
[size=12.0012px] | | The cost of living in exurbia is significantly lower than that in urban areas.
| | | Rates of attendance at houses of worship are much higher in exurban areas than in urban ones.
| | | Exurban school districts often spend more per capita on their students than do those in urban areas.
| | | The rate of violent crime is much lower in exurban areas than in urban ones.
| | | Many people who live in exurbia moved there from urban areas.

The correct answer is B. Despite the fact that urban dwellers live close together and exurban dwellers live farther apart, the exurban dwellers report feelings of connectedness while urban dwellers report feelings of isolation. The question then asks which choice best accounts for this discrepancy. Choice B is the only choice that provides a potential reason for the relative connectedness of exurban dwellers. It offers the possibility that because rates of attendance at houses of worship is higher in exurban areas, perhaps exurban dwellers find through these organizations a sense of community lacking in urban areas, where people perhaps do not have ongoing social contacts despite their physical proximity.
