Was torn between AC-C and E. Having difficulty seeing the difference as such.

    High cost limits opera availability.
    If we reduce budgets so they can be supported by ticket sales and donations,
    The public will be able to see less famous operas.

    Weaken: why wouldn't the public be able to see less famous operas even though budgets are reduced (removing reliance on sponsors)?

    C - You can afford to make famous operas unless you have sponsors. This weakens. If support is exclusively ticket sales and donations, you cannot produce less famous operas. If true, the conclusion is impossible.

    E - Without sponsors there wont be as much money. How much less? A dollar? A hundred? How much money do we need to produce operas? Is the lesser amount (without sponsors) enough to produce less famous operas or not? We don't know. This sounds attractive but we don't have enough info to make it correct. We are given "if we reduce production budgets" so just saying "less money" does not damage the argument... its already accounted for.
