Question 5- 8 are based on the following passage.
Published in 1961, The Death and Life of Great American Cities remains one of the most important texts in the field of urban planning. The author, Jane Jacobs, proposed that only by acknowledging the complex interplay between the residential commercial and industrial could we begin to develop cities that would not only be safe but also enjoyable. This thinking ran counter to many of the theories of the urban planning movements of the sixties and seventies, many of which advocated the separation of residential and commercial zones, and attempted to create orderly, efficient utopias. In doing so, however, they neglected the human element and many today feel that this is one of the major causes of the urban decay so prominent in many metropolitan areas.
As larger American cities attempt to combat crime and suburban flight, city leaders are reconsidering many of Jacobs's ideas and incorporating those ideas in sometimes unexpected ways. One prime example of this is The Grove, a shopping center in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles. Attached to the Farmer's Market, this sprawling commercial area resembles a village more than a mall, and intentionally so. There are outdoor seating areas, a pond, and many cafes mixed in with upscale shops. The question that remains, however, is whether this contrived community atmosphere will be able to replicate the dynamics of a naturally occurring neighborhood, and only time will provide the answer.
According to the passage, the urban planners sixties and seventies would most likely respond to developments such as The Grove by ....
lauding the project's designers for their foresight in recognizing that neighborhood's need for an open-air place in which to gather
questioning the decision to place the new center so close to a previously established gathering and shopping area
warning that the mixture of dining and shopping establishments, combined with the disorganized layout, will lead to inefficiency
praising local residents for supporting an artificially created community in an attempt to foster true relationships with neighbors
fearing that such a center will fail to recognize the complex interplay between the human users and the businesses that have been installed
