The running of museums is paid for by the collections from sales of tickets. Keeping a museum that also houses many rare and thus more expensive ancient artifacts operational requires huge funds which is a constraining factor in deciding the kind and number of artifacts to be displayed. Now, a small group of extremely rich collectors and patrons donate huge funds to the museum only in lieu of the right to decide the type of artifacts to be bought and displayed. However, if the decision was left to the curator of the museum, more number of rare and ancient artifacts would be on display.
Which of the following, if true, would weaken the argument?
A. In the absence of the collector's and patrons’ funds, the museum will have to sell some existing artifacts to acquire newer ones.
B. The sales from the museum will only be able to compensate for about half the amount received from the funds given by the patrons.
C. The people who visit museums do not really have the knowledge to understand the true value of the rare artifacts on display.
D. Collectors of rare artifacts and patrons of the museums rarely extend their support for reasons other than the sole rights to run the museum.
E. Curators of the museum sometimes do not have complete knowledge of the artifacts displayed in the museum.
