第一栏的定位在于：
"For the past several years, the companies's overall profits have been declining, and ticket sales have been flat. "

If we assume that ticket sales are the only revenue (since the passage does not mention other revenue source), then we can infer that the expenses have been increasing for the past several years.
expenses = revenues - profits = ticket sales - profits

所以就说(B)选项"return spending ... to levels of several years ago"就是decrease expenses.

第二问就是ls所说的，"increase audience size"关注的是如何吸引新客户（而不是老客户的需求），所以就是根据那个resident poll来的。

babybearmm说的很清楚了啊，lz是没看懂第一问的问题么？第一问的意思问的是说在这几个策略里面，那一项策略在单独使用的情况下能最大程度的减少该公司在传统芭蕾上面的花费
第一个选项double 了spending，即使是有public funding的但是还是增加了花销；第三个选项扩大其他方面的业务和传统芭蕾这一份方面的花费没有关系；第四个选项，给老顾客打折的话增加了成本；第五个选项，介绍的话总也要有广告成本，
所以选第二个
