It is widelyassumed that a museum is helped financially when a generous patron donates apotential exhibit. In truth, however, donated objects require storage space, whichis not free, and routine conservation, which is rather expensive. Therefore,such gifts exacerbate rather than lighten the demands made on a museum’sfinancial resources. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens theargument above? (A) To keeppatrons well disposed, a museum will find it advisable to put at least somedonated objects on exhibit rather than merely in storage. (B) Thepeople who are most likely to donate valuable objects to a museum are also thepeople who are most likely to make cash gifts to it. (C) A museumcannot save money by resorting to cheap storage under less than adequateconditions, because so doing would drive up the cost of conservation. (D) Patronsexpect a museum to keep donated objects in its possession rather than to raisecash by selling them.(E) (E) Objectsdonated by a patron to a museum are often of such importance that the museumwould be obliged to add them to its collection through purchase if necessary. |
