34. The correct answer is D.

The plan limits the number of new buildings that can be constructed

in the town in any given year. The rationale for the plan is that it

will preserve open spaces and relieve the pressure on schools and

other municipal resources. Critics claim that the plan will backfire or

fail. We are asked to support this prediction. If the goal of the plan

is to prevent overcrowding, then choice D supports the claims of the

critics: apartment buildings will draw more residents to the town

than would private houses and thus the plan's goals would likely be

threatened.
