For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen, which humans need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with nourishing oxygen. They also help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat that materials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.
Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the following word groups?

Công viên làm thành phố mát hơn… Xây dựng bằng kim loại, bê tông, nhựa đường và hấp thụ nhiều nhiệt từ mặt trời và xả nhanh hơn nhiều so với bề mặt hữu cơ như cây cối và cỏ.
=> Đây là một hướng dẫn khiến chúng ta có thể suy luận: thành phố sẽ mát hơn nếu có vườn trên sân thượng

Thật không may, nhiều thành phố không thể dễ dàng tạo ra nhiều công viên hơn vì hầu hết đất đai đã được sử dụng cho các tòa nhà, đường giao thông, bãi đậu xe, và các bộ phận quan trọng khác của môi trường đô thị. Tuy nhiên, các thành phố có thể hưởng lợi từ nhiều tác dụng tích cực của công viên bằng cách khuyến khích công dân tạo ra một loại không gian xanh: vườn thượng.
=> công viên chiếm nhiều diện tích, trong khi đó các vườn thượng thì ko như vậy

Đáp án B
Tác giả sẽ ủng hộ chương trình “extended discounts on plants to customers who use them to create rooftop gardens” Giảm giá cây cối thêm cho khách hàng sử dụng chúng để tạo vườn thượng
Bởi vì tác giả đã viết vườn thường rất có lợi, mọi người nên tạo vườn thượng nhiều hơn
=> do đó tác giả chắc hẳn sẽ rất ủng hộ chương trình giảm giá cây cối, thực vật cho khách hàng
