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.

People must pay to get into the museum and also pay for the special 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.

• Museums need more traveling shows.
