Questions 177-180 refer to the following article.

NEW TRENDS IN RETAILING

In past years retailers in North America have sounded a consistent theme: Bigger is better. Superstores increased in number and spread rapidly, often at the expense of smaller, family-owned retail stores. Today these superstores are more than 50 percent larger than in the 1980"fs and can be over 30,000 square meters in size.

But small retail stores are now making a comeback. Many of the largest retailers have begun experimenting with small-store formats. Rather than operating the small stores as separate outlets, though, the companies are managing all the stores in an area together as a closely knit network. By distributing small outlets throughout an area, a retailer can guarantee that one of them will almost always be closer to a given shopper than the superstore at the edge of town. Moreover, small stores are

often located within walking distance of public transportation, and, once inside, customers can easily find the products they are looking for.

One advantage of the big stores has been the variety of products they are able to carry because they are so large. One way that has been found to increase variety in small stores is to use electronic kiosks for online shopping. Although the number of products in the stores is small, there are enough actual items to inform customers about the range and quality of products. Customers are then offered computer access to a Web site that provides the full product line.

With regard to costs, small stores that are managed as networks have become as inexpensive to operate as superstores. By combining the orders of these stores, for instance, retailers can take advantage of the full-truckload delivery price rather than incur the higher cost of partial truckload deliveries.

177. What is implied about the kind of stores preferred by customers in North

America?

(A) They have many products made by the same manufacturer.

(B) They have many sales during the year.

(C) They carry many different kinds of products.

(D) They sell famous brands of electronics equipment.

178. What does the author indicate about superstores in the 1980’s?

(A) They were more expensive than smaller retail stores.

(B) There were 30,000 of them in the country.

(C) They were not very profitable.

(D) They were much smaller than they are now.

179. What is NOT stated in the article about stores with an electronic kiosk?

(A) They offer a large number of products to the consumer.

(B) They provide information about the quality of products.

(C) They have a limited inventory on display.

(D) They offer good prices on the newest computer models.

180. According to the article, what would cause costs to rise for small retailers?

(A) Being managed in a network

(B) Receiving deliveries only on the weekends

(C) Using delivery trucks that are only partly full

(D) Combining their orders with those of superstores

To Destiny Travels,

We received our travel itinerary for Poland yesterday and were surprised to discover that we would not be staying the entire week. When I initially signed up for this travel package, I was under the impression that it would be for a full seven days.

In the itinerary I received, arrival in Warsaw was set for Sunday and departure for America was set for Friday. Also, I requested that an art gallery be included somewhere in the itinerary but that too did not

appear in my received copy.

Would it be possible to replace the tour on Wednesday to the Warsaw Ghetto with a visit to a famous art museum or gallery? I am glad to participate in the short day trip to Auschwitz and look forward to visiting the Jewish center and cemetery there. I would like more activities planned for Friday; however, and if our flight could be pushed from Friday to Sunday, that would give us ample time to wander through the city ourselves and explore Warsaw at a more personal level.

Thank you for your help so far, but please let me know as soon as the requested changes are made.

Yours Truly,

Jan Delaney

To: cityptbo@city.peterborough.vt.us

From: Jeremy Miers

This e-mail is in reference to the parking ticket I received on September 22. The offense states that my car was parked for longer than 3 hours, but I know for a fact that at 5 p.m. sharp, I put 3 hours worth of coins into the meter to last me until 8 p.m. sharp. I know that meter street parking anywhere in Petersborough only lasts until 8 p.m. on week nights, so I do not understand how a meter maid at 7:52 wrote a ticket for my car that should have had 8 minutes left in the meter.

I would like to plead ‘not guilty’ by submitting my case to a judge. My parking ticket number is 801923 and my vehicle license plate number is GEV 4547.

I am sending this e-mail because I want to inform you that I believe the practice of meter maids in recent months has been bordering harassment. I know for a fact that my car could not have been in violation. I know for certain that I will be found ‘not guilty,’ and after my court date, I intend to write a formal letter to the mayor asking for a change in the way meter maids give out tickets so readily.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Miers

(A) His watch always keeps accurate time.

(B) He parked on a street that he can park free.

(C) He saw the meter officer waiting around his car.

(D) He put enough money in to last for a period of time.

194. How will Mr. Miers maintain his innocence?

(B) By going in front of a judge
