| the author did not think the circus whatever was successful because it attracted parents. the author spoke of adults not parents in the passage. attracting adults would have worked better. as for shrewd financial decisions, the author talked about not using animals (saving money) something about prices in relation to adults. if anything i thought the innovative answer was a better choice than the attracting parents. but after all is said and done I'm pretty sure the correct answer is going to be shrewd financial decisions.. |
