A bookstore owner believes that adding a café to her store will increase book sales. She reasons that customers who linger longer in the store buy more books, and that a café will encourage customers to linger.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens her argument?

  1. Customers who spend time in a bookstore café go on to browse the store's shelves more than customers who do not.
  2. A café added to the store would generate substantial revenue of its own from food and beverage sales.
  3. The store already has more than enough unused floor space along its back wall to comfortably accommodate a café.
  4. Many independent and chain bookstores across the country have chosen to add in-store cafés over the past decade.
  5. Freshly brewed coffee is consistently one of the very highest-margin individual items that any in-store café can sell.
