| Trust me. It's financial decisions.
Because the author implied that those people who would be able to pay would be not kids. Guess who takes kids to the circus? Parents. So why would this attract parents any more than regular circuses (or circi? lol)? One might say that these new circuses were more mature, but let's just think about how parents probably don't have as much money as other patrons without children. All in all, I would say that parents not only aren't all adults (as it was generalizing), but the wrong section of adults to be considering.
Now, the reason that its shrewd financial decisions is clear. The author consistently praised those decisions, and it can be noted that by reducing costs, the Cirque de Solei was able to gain more revenue by charging steeper rates to those people who could afford it
EDIT: It's cause and effect. Without getting rid of animals, they wouldn't have attracted adults, meaning no steep rates. The saving money was just an added bonus in the way of answering this question, but it made it impenetrably correct. | |

| computer geek,do you realize you are making unwarranted assumptions?you are forcing your ideas in to the passage.
i know why narcissa is very adamant about this question.if she misses it,no 800.  bittersweet  i know.we are in the same boat.
let's just wait and see what evil collegeboard says.

| I'm thinking about it in a logical way, and that's just additive to the material in the actual text, which is pretty definite.
I apologize if I seem to be forcing my ideas; I'm just trying to help settle this | |

| Can anyone remember all the choices from the parents vs financial decisions question? Because I think I put a different choice, but the choice I thought I selected was actually directed toward the previous question (the one with innovative as the answer). | |

| i don't like preaching but here is what shelock holmes said
"when you have eliminated the impossible,the one that remains however IMPROBABLE is the solution"
parents is not the absolute answer but shrewd decisions is out of the picture. | |
