Practice question
A qualified transferee proposes two urban business lots totaling 4,500 square meters, both in the same city. No other basis applies. It argues area compliance alone answers every statutory condition. Which is best?
- Any two lots necessarily satisfy every condition.
- The separate different-municipality-or-city condition must also be satisfied.
- The total area makes locality legally irrelevant despite the text.
- Only the property's paint determines its city.
- The provision imposes no lot-location condition.
