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.

答案是e.是因为反正没人送博物馆自己也得买，虽然保存要花钱，但是赠送至少省了购买的钱。是这样理解么？ 我选的是a。理由是展览可以省出一部分保存需要花的钱。

不好意思，多贴了一遍。

你对为什么选E的理解是正确的。

那A怎么解释呢？

a选项，展出在题中明显表明是目的，而按照你的理解，真正的目的应该是取得收入，把目的和手段的关系好好想一想！
