Read the text and choose the correct answer. A small town introduced a "quiet hour" in its supermarket every Tuesday morning: the lights are dimmed, the music is switched off and announcements are stopped. The idea came from parents of children who find noise and bright light stressful. At first, the manager feared that regular customers would complain, but a survey after three months showed that 70% of shoppers liked the change, including many who had no children. However, Tuesday morning sales stayed about the same. The manager says the scheme was never meant to increase profit, but to make the shop welcoming to everyone. What can be concluded from the text about the quiet hour?

The text says the idea came from parents of children who find noise stressful, so they were the target group. The survey showed that 70% of shoppers liked the change, including many without children, so the scheme was liked by people it was not planned for. «It was created to raise Tuesday sales.» is wrong because sales stayed the same and the manager says profit was not the aim. «It was cancelled after complaints from regular customers.» is wrong because the manager only feared complaints and the scheme continues. «It was suggested by the manager after a survey.» is wrong because the idea came from parents and the survey was carried out later, after the change.
