Answer

The procurement of artifacts and exhibition display cases was funded exclusively through municipal tourism levies.
The passage explicitly specifies that 'the procurement of artifacts and exhibition display cases was funded exclusively through municipal tourism levies'.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the specific sentence in the passage discussing the acquisition of display cases.
Identified sentence: 'While the architectural restoration of the structure was financed by international cultural heritage grants, the procurement of artifacts and exhibition display cases was funded exclusively through municipal tourism levies.'
Literal comprehension requires retrieving explicit facts directly stated in the text.
2
Match the targeted item ('exhibition display cases') with its stated funding source.
The text directly couples display cases with 'municipal tourism levies'.
Differentiating between the funding source for building restoration and that for display cases eliminates misleading distractors.
