Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #3061 Items
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
The first aspect to consider is the physical organization of the store. Placement of merchandise has a great deal of influence on what customers buy. For example, a common practice among retailers is to place the store’s best-selling merchandise near the back of the store. In order to get to these popular items from the front entrance, customers have to walk down aisles filled with merchandise that they might not see otherwise.

Option 1: "In the back of the store."

Explanation: The text states that retailers commonly place their best-selling merchandise near the back of the store. This directly supports the answer, as it highlights the strategy used to influence customer purchasing behavior. The placement is a deliberate tactic to encourage customers to walk through the store, increasing the likelihood of additional purchases.

Option 2: "Near the front entrance."

Explanation: This option contradicts the information in the text, which clearly states that popular items are placed near the back of the store. Therefore, this option is incorrect as it misrepresents the location of popular merchandise.

Option 3: "Near worthless merchandise."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention anything about worthless merchandise. Instead, it emphasizes that popular items are strategically placed to attract customers, making this option irrelevant and misleading.

Option 4: "At cash counters."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not indicate that popular items are placed at cash counters. The focus is on the back of the store, making this option not only incorrect but also unrelated to the main idea presented in the text.
