The Green Ensemble, a nonprofit theater group, has always been financially dependent on contributions from corporations and would have been forced to disband this year if any of its corporate sponsors had withdrawn their financial support. But the Green Ensemble has not only been able to continue in operation throughout the year, but has recently announced its schedule for next year. Which one of the following is a conclusion that can be properly drawn from the information above? ['Earlier this year the Green Ensemble found other sources of funding for next year, making the group less dependent on corporations for financial support.', "This year corporate funding was the source of more than half of the Green Ensemble's income.", 'During this year corporate funding for the Green Ensemble has been steadily increasing.', "None of the Green Ensemble's corporate sponsors withdrew their financial support of the group this year."]
