The Ardley pool raised its entry price by a fifth in January, the first increase in six years and one advertised three months in advance. The number of swimmers using the pool each week has since fallen by a third. Yet the pool's weekly takings at the door are higher now than they were before the rise.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the situation described above?

AMost of the swimmers who stopped coming had been using free passes issued through local schools.

BEntry to the Ardley pool is still cheaper than entry to any other pool in the county, even after the increase of a fifth in January.

CThe pool has cut its opening hours since January, and is now closed on the two evenings a week that had been among its busiest.

DThe pool's running costs have risen faster than its prices, and the increase in January was calculated to cover only part of the difference.

EA new pool opened in the next town in February, with a longer course and lanes set aside for club swimmers, and many of Ardley's regular swimmers now go there instead.
