Question

Multiple select question.

Bob buys a Mother's Day gift.

Anne has only a few minutes between classes to buy lunch.

Wanda makes breakfast every morning.

Terry bids on a painting at a charity auction.

Answer 1

The following examples illustrate how the purchase situation influences buying:

1. Bob buys a Mother's Day gift. - This situation is influenced by the occasion (Mother's Day) and the intent to find a meaningful gift, which can affect his selection and purchasing behavior.

2. Anne has only a few minutes between classes to buy lunch. - Time constraints significantly influence her buying decision, likely leading her to choose quick and convenient options.

3. Terry bids on a painting at a charity auction. - The auction setting creates a specific buying situation that involves competitive behavior and the emotional aspect of supporting a charitable cause.

"Wanda makes breakfast every morning" does not represent a specific purchase situation but rather a habitual behavior.

So, the correct answers are:

• Bob buys a Mother's Day gift.
• Anne has only a few minutes between classes to buy lunch.
• Terry bids on a painting at a charity auction.
