The reasoning in the passage is as follows: The introduction of community gardening initiatives led to an increase in residents' sense of community and social interaction because gardening brought neighbours together, encouraging shared responsibilities and a stronger sense of belonging.

 

Option A closely parallels this reasoning by stating that the implementation of regular team-building activities in a workplace resulted in improved collaboration and communication among employees because team-building activities fostered trust and a sense of belonging within the team. Both arguments involve an intervention (community gardening or team-building activities) leading to positive outcomes (increased sense of community or improved collaboration, respectively) by encouraging social interaction and a sense of belonging.

 

Option B discusses physical fitness levels but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.

 

Option C discusses online communities and discussion forums but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.

 

Option D discusses therapy animals and patient well-being but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.
