Question 16 • FL-0708340-Spanish 1 LMS

Which scenario illustrates a factor that can affect when a product is purchased?

Answer

Tomás wants to buy a collar for his new dog. He researches different collars and finds a company that makes its collars from recycled materials. He decides to buy a collar from that company because he likes their commitment to recycling.

Ana needs to buy a new backpack because the straps on her old one ripped. She finds a backpack she likes at two different stores. One store has the backpack in three colors. The other store only has the backpack in blue, but it is on sale for 25 percent off. She decides to buy the backpack that is on sale.

Fadi wants to buy his younger sister a popular toy for her birthday. He keeps putting off buying the toy until the week of his sister’s birthday. When he goes to the store to buy the gift, he discovers that the toy is out of stock. The toy is also out of stock at other local stores and online.

Mei is concerned about the environment, so she tries to buy products from companies that are also environmentally conscious. Mei uses several online sites that list environmentally conscious companies and stores to help guide her in making purchasing decisions.

Explanation

Fadi delays buying the toy until the week of his sister’s birthday, and by then it is out of stock. This illustrates timing affecting a purchase: waiting too long can mean the product is unavailable when the buyer needs it. The other choices focus on environmental values or price and selection, rather than when the product is purchased.
