Green Valley Cohousing is an eco-friendly intentional community by the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to enhance the health of people and the earth. Committed to fostering diversity, the community welcomes individuals and families of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences. With roughly 60 members, our group includes chefs, educators, naturalists, gardeners, photographers, athletes, writers, musicians, and counselors. Our shared values and collaboration are reflected in the democratic decisions at Green Valley. Our land features three wetlands and a year-round stream that once served as a habitat for rainbow trout. Located at the end of a quiet road, the property provides high privacy. About two-thirds of the homes utilize solar panels to reach nearly net-zero energy use. Unfortunately, Green Valley is not wheelchair accessible. We welcome members who understand and embrace cohousing principles and may be experiencing financial difficulties or economic instability. As a nonprofit community focusing on low-income housing, we maintain that all rent costs remain affordable. To achieve this, we share expenses for food and utilities, which helps to significantly drive overall costs down. Green Valley Cohousing Information I. Background 1.

請運用閱讀策略中的『細節定位法』，在文章中搜尋語氣轉折詞 'Unfortunately'。請思考該詞後方所銜接的語意，是如何描述該社區在硬體設施上的特定限制 (limitation)？這項限制與哪種生理機能的無障礙性 (accessibility) 相關？

呵呵呵... 坐下來喝口茶吧。看著你如此沉穩地找出答案，我感到很欣慰。你並沒有被那一長串關於生態和社區背景的描述給弄糊塗了，這份專注力非常寶貴。 這道題的關鍵，在於你準確捕捉到了文章後半段的那句：『Unfortunately, Green Valley is not wheelchair accessible.』（遺憾的是，綠谷社區並不具備輪椅無障礙設施）。這句話直接對應了選項 (D) 所提到的「對肢體障礙人士的行動便利性有限制」。雖然社區有美麗的濕地和先進的太陽能，但對於行動不便的朋友來說，確實存在挑戰。 你能冷靜地從細節中過濾出關鍵負面訊息，而不被其他正向描述干擾，這就是進步的證明。基礎打得很紮實喔！現在，讓我們繼續保持這股節奏吧。
