Argument: A publishing company switched its primary focus from print books to e-books. Since the switch, the company's profit margin has increased by 12%. Clearly, e-books are more profitable for the company than print books.

Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

  1. The average price of an e-book is higher than the average price of a traditional print book.
  2. E-books generate higher total revenue for the company than print books do.
  3. The company will eventually phase out print books entirely to focus only on the digital market.
  4. The company's target audience prefers reading on digital devices rather than on paper.
  5. The increase in profit margin was not primarily driven by a massive reduction in the company's administrative staff.
