Which choice most logically completes the text?
The increase in weekly checkouts most strongly suggests that ______
Answer and explanation
Answer: C: the inviting new space may have encouraged more browsing and borrowing among children.
The passage directly connects the new space to increased checkouts and offers a plausible reason, more inviting browsing conditions. C states that connection clearly. A contradicts the passage's report of increased checkouts. B invents a detail never mentioned. D overgeneralizes into a claim about all libraries that this single example cannot support.
