Multiple choice

For two years, while remodeling the Museum, the New Delhi Heritage commission has been transferring a large number of artifacts from the city of New Delhi to both the Mughal and Indian Museums in the city of Agra. It follows that when New Delhi's Museum reopens next year, either Mughal or Indian Museums will have to be closed and their artifacts consolidated.

The author of the statements above assumes that

  1. The removal of the New Delhi artifacts from the Mughal and Indian Museums will leave one or both of these Museums considerably underpopulated.

  2. New Delhi's remodeled Museum will not be large enough for the prospective artifact population.

  3. Incorporation of extra artifacts from New Delhi has placed a tremendous burden on the resources of both the Mughal and Indian Museums.

  4. Artifacts will not be sent between the Mughal and Indian Museums in the next year.
