Which sentence best refines the author's claim about protecting historically significant architecture?
Architecture
Over the past several years, it has become increasingly common for big-name developers to tear down Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial
buildings. This destruction is often performed with the thought that it is the property that holds the true value, not the structure that sits on it.
Likewise, homeowners have begun to value their property's location over the house they have spent many years living in. Little regard is given to
the painstaking details and craftsmanship that went into these buildings, nor the innate beauty of hand-carved woodwork and ornamentation
only with the old, in with the new" has resulted in people no longer appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country's oldest
buildings and falling to realize
that once "the new" is brought in, "the old" is lost to us forever.
It is bad enough that developers and private citizens are blind to the beauty around them; what is worse is that local governments refuse to
step in and prevent this destruction. Cities and towns need to stand up to large developers that flash money around in the name of progress.
Rather than allowing developers to tear down old buildings simply to put up new ones, local governments could enact ordinances to preserve
their area's architecture. If an old building is unusable or unsafe as it is, the structure could be restored instead of demolished, not only would
this save one-of-a-kind architecture, it is also an extremely environmentally-conscience concept because less building material is used and
wasted.
In addition, local governments could prevent homeowners from tearing down their homes if the buildings are of a historic nature. Town
officials could easily draw up legislation to preserve all buildings erected before a certain date, which would effectively prevent anyone from
destroying historic architecture or buying property with express intent of rebuilding on the land,
If local governments take more of an interest in their towns' character and history right now, our culture will be preserved for many
generations to come.

Answer:

"Out with the old, in with the new" has resulted in people no longer appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country's oldest  buildings and failing to realize  that once "the new" is brought in, "the old" is lost to us forever.

Explanation:

The above is the correct text in the passage that best refines the author's claim about protecting historically significant architecture.

This is true because in the above text, he reveals what has made people to no longer appreciate history and artistic integrity. Then he points out the danger that awaits when "the new" is brought in. Then, "the old" will actually be lost.

from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain

SATURDAY morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step . . . Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. . . .
He began to think of the fun he had planned for this day, and his sorrows multiplied. Soon the free boys would come tripping along on all sorts of delicious expeditions, and they would make a world of fun of him for having to work—the very thought of it burnt him like fire. . . . At this dark and hopeless moment an inspiration burst upon him! . . .
He took up his brush and went tranquilly to work. Ben Rogers hove in sight presently—the very boy, of all boys, whose ridicule he had been dreading. Ben's gait was the hop-skip-and-jump-proof enough that his heart was light and his anticipations high. He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat. . . .
Tom went on whitewashing—paid no attention to the steamboat. Ben stared a moment and then said: "Hi-Yi! You're up a stump, ain't you!"
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep and surveyed the result, as before. Ben ranged up alongside of him. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to his work. Ben said:
"Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?"
Tom wheeled suddenly and said:
"Why, it's you, Ben! I [wasn't] noticing."
"Say—I'm going in a-swimming, I am. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd [rather] work—wouldn't you? Course you would!"
Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:
"What do you call work?"
"Why, ain't that work?"
Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly: "Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer."
"Oh come, now, you don't mean to let on that you like it?" The brush continued to move.
"Like it? Well, I don't see why I oughtn't to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?" . . .
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."
Tom considered, was about to consent; but he altered his mind:
"No—no—I reckon it wouldn't hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly's awful particular about this fence . . . it's got to be done very careful; I reckon there ain't one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it's got to be done."
"No—is that so? Oh come, now—lemme just try. Only just a little—I'd let you, if you was me, Tom."
"Ben, I'd like to, honest…but Aunt Polly—well…[if] you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it—"
"Oh, shucks, I'll be just as careful. Now lemme try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple."
"Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afeard—"
"I'll give you all of it!"
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.

HELPPPPPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

the U.S. Government with details of how to exploit
these backdoors. As a result, America was able to read
