This is followed by 4 , telling us that the lake has lost its importance over time.While Statement 2 may not serve as a formal conclusion, it effectively ends the passage on a poignant note by illustrating the current state of the lake—now surrounded by high-rise buildings—highlighting the extent of change and loss over time.
