Read this excerpt from a letter to the city council: Dear city council members:
The city has proposed limiting library hours in order to save money. I understand that the city budget is being challenged at the moment, but no good will come of denying children access to the library after school. Children go to the library to learn and to get help with their homework. As a single parent, I rely on the library as an affordable place where I know my kids will be safe. Of all the programs to cut, the library should not be your first choice.
Which statement best describes the context of this letter?

A.
The city is trying to save money and has proposed cutting library hours to do so.

B.
The author of the letter has lost her job at the library.

C.
Library attendance has dropped, prompting the city to increase library hours.

D.
Childcare options offered by the city have recently expanded.
