Section 11 19th 19. It is widely assumed that a museum is helped finan- cially when a generous patron donates a potential exhibit. In truth, however, donated objects require storage space, which is not free, and routine conser- vation, which is rather expensive. Therefore, such gifts exacerbate rather than lighten the demands made on a museum's financial resources.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above? (A) To keep patrons well disposed, a museum will find it advisable to put at least some donated objects on exhibit rather than merely in storage. (B) The people who are most likely to donate valu- able objects to a museum are also the people who are most likely to make cash gifts to it. (C) A museum cannot save money by resorting to cheap storage under less than adequate con- ditions, because so doing would drive up the cost of conservation. (D) Patrons expect a museum to keep donated objects in its possession rather than to raise cash by selling them. (E) Objects donated by a patron to a museum are often of such importance that the museum would be obliged to add them to its collec- tion through purchase if necessary.
