Zorluk: KolayParallel Structure

Complete the passage with a word that maintains a parallel structure within the sentence.

Cevap:In a study of urban ecology, researchers from the university investigated how noise pollution impacts bird populations in city parks. They found that chronic traffic noise disrupts avian communication, increases stress hormone levels, and 【reduces】 nesting success. To mitigate these negative impacts, urban planners are designing parks with natural sound barriers, planting dense native vegetation, and creating quiet zones.
