Sable Forge plans to open late-night gallery hours to attract more buyers. Past late hours filled the rooms, but sales did not rise, because the extra visitors were students who did not buy. The board argues that the new hours will raise sales only if ________.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

  1. sales are measured annually rather than by night so one weak night is hidden in the total
  2. every current buyer already visits late and therefore does not need new hours
  3. gallery rents are increased to replace the extra staffing cost
  4. the city raises museum fares so that more students visit the gallery
  5. the hours are paired with a restriction that keeps non-buying visitors from crowding out buyers
