Which statement from the text of City best shows that the author admires the work of ancient Roman city builders?

A.
"As usual the citizens of each city, not the Emperor, paid for these temples."

B.
"Numerius Septimius, who owned a lot of farmland, was the wealthiest man in the city."

C.
"As open land within the walls gradually disappeared, the importance of careful planning became more and more evident—especially in two well-thought-out ideas."

D.
"At first everyone shopped in the central market but as the population increased, the market, in spite of its size, became too small."



Answer :

the best answer is C. - the rest partially treats different topics, and partially is negative (so not a praise); such as the last option:  the market becoming too small.

The only other statement about city building is A: but this one does not praise, but mentions who paid for them, and it could still be that the temples are not well-done. C, however, contains the praise "well-thought of ideas"- that's how we see it's the  best asnwer
