21. Read the passage, choose the best option to answer the given question
The mountain town of Canton is at an elevation of 6,000 feet. It is surrounded by thick
underbrush and pine trees. Because of six years of drought, these plants are a major fire
hazard. Thousands of trees and tons of underbrush are going to be removed over the next
five years at a minimum cost of $3 million. The brush will be removed first, then the trees will
be toppled and removed. A cleared nonflammable area will then safely surround the town of
4,000.
Residents look forward to the work, because it will help their town survive a future disaster.
"But there are two problems," said one resident. "All the extra trucks are going to make
traffic pretty bad. Once the area is cleared, we have to make sure dirt bikers don't try to make
the cleared area their personal playground."
A recent fire burned 4,000 acres and destroyed 11 homes in nearby Hamilton. The fire was
raging toward Canton, but a sudden rainstorm put it out. Residents know that they won't get
lucky twice, so they are looking forward to this massive clearing operation.
Ninety percent of the cutting and clearing will be paid with federal funds. Unfortunately, if the
trees are on private property, they must be paid for by the residents themselves. Prices can
range as high as $1,000 to cut and remove one tree. Officials say that residents can apply for
state and federal loans if necessary
Why are thousands of trees and tons of underbush going to be removed?
A. Not mentioned
B. 4 years
C. 6 years
D. 5 yearscorrect
