A regional newspaper introduced a digital paywall, and print subscriptions rose slightly the following year even as digital subscriptions grew as expected. The publisher suggests the paywall may have indirectly reminded some readers that print delivery remained an option, though circulation staff have not investigated the print increase directly. Which choice most accurately states the passage's primary purpose?

  1. To report an unexpected side effect of a policy change and flag the publisher's explanation as untested
  2. To prove that digital paywalls always increase print subscriptions at every newspaper that later reports a circulation gain.
  3. To recommend that newspapers eliminate their print editions entirely
  4. To compare this newspaper's subscription numbers with a rival paper's numbers
  5. To describe the technical process by which the paywall software was installed
