Editor: Since we began printing our weekly magazine on heavier paper eighteen months ago, the proportion of subscribers who renew at the end of their year has risen from sixty-one percent to seventy-four. We did not raise the cover price when we made the change, so subscribers are paying exactly what they paid before. Readers evidently prefer the feel of the heavier stock.

The answer to which one of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the editor's reasoning?

ADid the magazine make any other change over the same eighteen months, such as a new columnist or a redesigned listings section, that its subscribers might have been responding to?

BDoes heavier paper cost the magazine more per issue than the stock it used before, given that the cover price was held where it was?

CDo competing weekly magazines printed on heavy stock retain a larger proportion of their subscribers than those printed on light stock?

DHas the magazine's print run risen over the same eighteen months in which the renewal rate rose?

EDo the readers of the editor's monthly title resemble the weekly's subscribers closely enough that what pleases one group would please the other?
