Which of the following is a claim the author supports in paragraph 1?
“The best things in life are free,” they say, which is true for things like libraries. However, it is not true for many museums. The Philadelphia Museum of Art, for example, costs $20 to get in.

showing. That means people who don’t have much money cannot enjoy the art.

•  Poor people cannot enjoy museums.
• Museums should not charge extra fees.
• Traveling exhibits should always be free.
