A
an essay explaining environmental policies that may affect the landfill

a local newspaper describing opportunities available with construction of the landfill

a guide that teaches the best ways to prepare for a debate
D
an article written by someone who opposes its construction

Explanation

To consider potential drawbacks, Joseph needs information about reasons the landfill might be harmful or undesirable. An article written by someone who opposes its construction is most likely to explain those concerns. The newspaper about construction opportunities may focus on benefits, while the other choices do not directly present arguments against the proposal.
