Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10953)

The correct answer choice is (D)

We already know the Main Point from our analysis above, so this question should be relatively straightforward.

Answer choice (A): This answer choice summarizes the counterargument against New Urbanism. This is not the main point of the passage, as the author clearly sides with the New Urbanists.

Answer choice (B): Although the New Urbanists do believe that suburban sprawl inhibits social interaction, no mention is made of any specific reforms to zoning laws as a solution. In fact, their solution entails an entirely different type of suburban development (smaller neighborhoods).

Answer choice (C): The New Urbanists do not contend that most people prefer living in small urban neighborhoods over the suburbs. This answer choice contains an exaggeration.

Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice, as it provides a summary of the entire passage.

Answer choice (E): This answer choice focuses entirely on the first paragraph of the passage. Furthermore, the New Urbanists never recommended any changes to traffic policies.
