Question and options
__________________________________________. In Southeast Asia, for example, climate and lifestyle factors mean that people spend much more time in shopping malls than Europeans do, who might go shopping once a fortnight. Then there are gender variations in the way we shop. As descendants of hunter-gatherers, accumulating is in our blood, but how you go about it depends on whether you are male or female.
- By and large, people enjoy shopping and comparing brands and prices.
- Retail stores constantly offer promotional discounts to entice shoppers.
- When it comes to shopping, men hunt, and women gather.
- Culture plays an important role in shaping the shopping experience.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Culture plays an important role in shaping the shopping experience.
The paragraph gives a cultural/regional example (Southeast Asia vs Europe) and then 'gender variations', so the opener must introduce cultural influence on shopping; 'men hunt, and women gather' belongs with the later gender point.
