Which of the following is true according to the passage?
Something was happening to books in 2020 that questions about human existence really were encouraging reading. Certainly, as the first reports came in of pandemic book sales, it did seem that people were at least buying more books. In the UK, physical book sales rose by 6 percent in the week prior to the first national lockdown, paperback fiction sales increased by 35 percent week on week, and Waterstones reported a 400 percent increase of online sales week on week. Physically closed, libraries reported significant growth in new digital users, with Hampshire County Council, for example, seeing an increase in loans of 770 percent. In Denmark, statistics showed that book sales increased by 5.6 percent in 2020 despite shops being closed. In addition, more people than ever subscribed to book streaming services in 2020.

In 2020 people had less interest in questions about human existence.

The pandemic created a moment for boosting sales of books.

More books were sold in Denmark than in the UK.

More people than ever visited libraries in 2020.

The pandemic has stimulated Denmark’s economy.

지문과 일치하는 것은 팬데믹이 도서 판매를 늘리는 계기가 되었다는 내용이다.
지문은 "it did seem that people were at least buying more books"(사람들이 적어도 책을 더 사는 것 같았다)라고 하며, 영국·덴마크의 판매 증가 사례를 든다.
"In 2020 people had less interest ..."는 틀리다. 인간 존재에 대한 질문이 독서를 "encouraging"(장려했다)고 한다.
"More books were sold in Denmark than in the UK."는 근거가 없다. 두 나라의 증가율이 나올 뿐 판매량 비교는 없다.
"More people than ever visited libraries in 2020."은 틀리다. 도서관은 "Physically closed"(물리적으로 닫혔고) 늘어난 것은 디지털 이용자다.
"The pandemic has stimulated Denmark's economy."는 근거가 없다. 지문은 도서 판매만 언급한다.
