PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! 20 POINTS!!!Though not widely used now, lighthouses served as a beacon of light to warn ships' captains of dangers close to the shoreline. Lighthouses are
generally tall, cylinder-like towers with a glass enclosure at the top. It is in this enclosure where a light source would capture the attention of a ship
to divert it away from the shore. Before the age of modern navigational equipment on ships, lighthouses were essential to keep ships from running
aground. However, direction-finding technology has replaced the need for the lighthouse. Now these distinguished structures stand abandoned, and
many are in disrepair. But people's love for the iconic lighthouses has sparked new interest in them. Rather than let them simply fall apart, people
are buying them to renovate. Now lighthouses are being turned into residential homes, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and even businesses.

A new housing market has opened up in states along the coast. The United States Coast Guard has begun auctioning lighthouses to the general
public. These once-important buildings are no longer of use to sea vessels, and the Coast Guard does not want to maintain them. The lighthouses
are first offered to state and local governments, but if they are not interested, then the lighthouses will go up for auction. There are plenty of people
who are interested in purchasing them too. It is not uncommon for someone to turn an old lighthouse into a home or a vacation retreat. There are
challenges to lighthouse living such as having to climb numerous stairs and doing without modern plumbing. However, the feeling of safety and
security along with the magnificent views make living in a lighthouse quite an experience.
Which sentence correctly integrates and paraphrases information by using details drawn from both sources?
Maintaining lighthouses, structures which were once so important for sea vessels, is a responsibility neither the federal, state, nor local
government wants, and thus the federal government is placing them up for auction.
Since direction-finding technology has replaced the need for lighthouses, these once-distinguished structures stand abandoned, and many
are falling into disrepair, so people are purchasing them for hotels, bed and breakfasts, and even businesses.
While modern technology has made lighthouses obsolete, people's love of these structures has inspired people to overcome the challenges
of numerous stairs and lack of modern plumbing to transform lighthouses into homes and vacation sanctuaries.
Assuming the cost of maintaining lighthouses, structures which once served as a beacon of light to warn ships' captains of dangers close to
the shoreline, is something most state and local governments are not interested in doing, so individuals have begun purchasing them.
