Question

Read the passage.

Before heading to the concert in the city, Parvati and I ducked into a nearby bodega. It was empty, except for one or two customers. We walked around for a bit before deciding on granola bars and bottled water. After we paid for our items, we took the subway downtown.

Which clues from the text are most helpful for determining the meaning of bodega? Select three options.

“heading to the concert”
“one or two customers”
“granola bars and bottled water”
“paid for our items”
“took the subway downtown”

Answer 1

“one or two customers”
“granola bars and bottled water”
“paid for our items”

Reason: together these suggest a small shop (few customers) where you buy and pay for convenience items.
