Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent discrepancy described above?

1. Because the flat fee was priced below what individual tickets to even three of the museums would have cost, pass holders effectively paid far less per visit than ticket buyers had.
2. The city's tourism bureau chose to devote a sizable share of its annual operating budget to advertising the newly launched flat-fee museum pass to prospective visitors.
3. Visitors who held the pass typically lingered for a noticeably shorter period of time inside each of the museums than did patrons who had purchased a single-entry admission ticket.
4. Two of the ten participating museums happened to mount prominent, heavily publicized special exhibitions during the very same year that the discounted city pass was first offered.
5. Roughly the same total number of out-of-town tourists came to visit the city during the year of the pass as had come during the year immediately before its introduction.
