Read the following sentence from an urban planning proposal: 'Although municipal planners claim the new light-rail extension reduced inner-city traffic by 12%, local merchants rightfully observe that pedestrian foot traffic has plummeted due to prolonged construction disruptions.' Which distinction does the sentence make between factual claims and authorial perspective?

The 12% reduction is presented as an undisputed fact, whereas the merchant observation is dismissed as false. The 12% reduction is attributed to municipal planners, while the author endorses the merchants' observation as valid. The author rejects both the municipal planners' traffic statistics and the merchants' claims. The author proves mathematically that light-rail extensions always harm local retail businesses.

Correct Answer:

The 12% reduction is attributed to municipal planners, while the author endorses the merchants' observation as valid.
