The art center was conceived as a labor of love with visitors not being charged. Neither was there any registration nor membership charges being levied from the public. However, this initial largesse was meant to only induce trial. To make the venture sustainable in the long run, it has now become imperative - given the costs - to think of ways to (i) $\(\qquad\)$ it. As of now, clarity has not emerged about how to (ii) $\(\qquad\)$ but the management is toying with various ideas to woo visitors, including a scheme where patrons are provided an array of services that presumably will help ensure (iii) $\(\qquad\)$ flow of visitors and, of course, funds.

|---|---|---|
| A. monetize | D. repay the investors | G. frequent |
| B. waver | E. trivialize the matter | H. steady |

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The first two sentences of the text convey that the visitors to the art center were not being charged. The missing word in the first blank should explain how to 'make the venture sustainable'. The words 'however, this initial largesse' and 'only to induce trail' in the third sentence suggest - that 'monetize' best fits in blank 1. The words 'clarity has not emerged' and 'toying with various ideas' in the last sentence suggest that the management is contemplating on how to bring in the change i.e., from visitors not being charged to visitors being charged. Thus 'effect the transition' is apt in blank 2. The missing word in blank should explain why management is toying with various ideas to ensure regular flow of visitors. Thus, 'steady' best reflects the idea. Thus, the answer is A, F, H .

Since they want to make the venture sustainable in the long run and mention is made of costs to run the art center, the choice for the first blank is monetize.
There is mention of the initial opening of the art center to the public without any charges as only meant to induce trial. In the next sentence, there is talk of monetizing it to make it sustainable in the long run. Not to mention the fact, the management was trying to come up with a new scheme apart from various ideas to woo visitors. Therefore, effect the transition is the correct choice. The other options do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
Since they want sustainability in the long run it has to be a steady flow of funds, and of course visitors.
The choices are A,F,H.
