Manhattan seems to sprout shiny new skyscrapers an easily as a garden grows weeds, but despite the modern appearance of the concrete jungle at the heart of New York City every engineer knows that before breaking ground, they need to step back in time, with the help of Viele’s map. 1865, Egert Viele, a cull engineer and Chill War veteran who surveyed the land for Central Park and later served in Congress, published a map that is still crucial almost 160 years later. His map showed all the original marshes and waterways of Manhattan Even today, engineers rely on his work to determine still conditions and any underground water that sows through a building site, potentially undermining foundations. Which of the following pieces of evidence from the text supports the conclusion that Viele's work had an impact on the development of Manhattan Island?
A. Central Park continues to food, which Viele set out to prevent with his map
B. Viele proposed that structures be made with locally made concrete mixed with water sources on the island
C. Resident of Manhattan island find it easy to grow gardens due to the well-established water map.
D. Builders must analyse potential sites for stability, which affects the building type and zoning options
D. The piece of evidence from the text that supports the conclusion that Viele's work had an impact on the development of Manhattan Island is: "Builders must analyze potential sites for stability, which affects the building type and zoning options." This evidence indicates that Viele's map, which helps determine soil conditions and underground water, influences the decision-making process for builders and, by extension, the development of Manhattan Island.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
