An independent bookstore's preorders for a debut novel tripled the week of the author's local reading, and the manager credits the event. That same week the novel received a starred review in a national magazine, a detail the manager mentions only briefly. Based on the passage, which statement can properly be inferred?
- The tripled preorders are as consistent with the national review as with the local reading, so the manager's single-cause account is not yet established.
- The local reading had no influence whatsoever on the tripled preorders.
- National magazine reviews always triple preorders for any book they cover.
- The author's future books are certain to sell as well as this one did.
- The starred national review appeared only because the local reading had already sold out every single ticket the bookstore had printed for that week's event.
