问题 Responsibilities pertaining to property and land use are agreed upon within a signed, binding contract. And while it is fathomable that a disagreement with the owner of an adjacent property may occur, particular difficulty arises in defining the party liable for necessary maintenance when said disagreement is over the deterioration of a naturally occurring, communally-owned parcel, such as a beach.
In California, the coastal city of Encinitas is slowly watching its shoreline wash away. The beach has a massive sand deficit with over 100,000 cubic yards of sand lost on an annual basis. The sand erosion is a natural occurrence, but beachfront property owners and the city government are attempting to fight mother nature with a sand replenishment project. This involves dredging up 2 million cubic yards of sand from the ocean bottom at a cost of $25 million.
The passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements?
选项 A、The situation in Encinitas is unusual for coastal cities.
B、Binding contracts do not necessarily preclude all conflicts over property.
C、Sand erosion must necessarily be prevented by all means possible.
D、Current contract law is irreparably flawed.
E、Beachfront property owners should always work with the local government in order to achieve a favorable outcome in property disputes.
答案B
解析 The best answer is B. The solution here is to remember the scope of the passage and the main idea: that conflict often arises over who has to pay to improve communally-owned property. Choice B best fits those constraints.
