Social environment

The social custom of giving gifts during festivals can increase demand for gifts in that region. Therefore, the e-commerce company should create festival-specific gift packs to match customer preferences and seasonal demand. Discontinuing the return policy may reduce customer convenience and does not directly use the opportunity created by the custom.

Direct answer: D, keep durable and useful gift collections. The social environment changes what people consider valuable and acceptable. If society begins preferring useful, long-lasting gifts instead of plastic gifts, the business must adjust its product policy. Step 1: identify the new social preference. Step 2: understand that customers now value usefulness and durability. Step 3: select products made to last and useful in daily life. Step 4: present this collection honestly to customers. Option A is wrong because increasing colourful plastic moves in the opposite direction and ignores the new preference. Option B is wrong because merely removing advertising does not provide the products customers want. Option C is wrong because changing a bank account does not change the gift range or meet consumer demand. Option D is correct because it directly matches the changed social taste and can improve customer satisfaction and sales. Exam cue: a change in social preference normally requires a change in product design, range or packaging.

The direct answer is C: offer safe late-night delivery options. The number of young people working late changes their daily routine. They may need meals after ordinary restaurant hours and may prefer delivery because they are still working or travelling home. A food business can respond by extending suitable service hours and providing safe delivery, with responsible staffing and clear delivery procedures. Option A, serving only in the morning, ignores the new late-night demand. Option B, closing all services, removes the opportunity to serve customers and does not respond to their need. Option D, changing only tax forms, concerns administration and does not solve a food-service timing problem. Option C is correct because it matches the social change in working hours with a practical service decision. Safety is important: the statement supports safe delivery, not careless or unlawful operation. Reasoning chain: work timing changes; meal timing and demand change; service timing should adapt. Exam cue: changes in people’s routines often require changes in business hours and delivery arrangements.

The direct answer is option D: a vehicle-sharing service. Shared use means that people increasingly value access to a product without necessarily owning it individually. This is a social and lifestyle change. In a vehicle-sharing model, a company provides cars or other vehicles for use by several customers, often through booking and payment for time or distance. Customers can obtain transport while avoiding the full cost and responsibility of personal ownership. Option D is correct because it directly matches the idea of shared use. Option A, only costly personal vehicles, promotes individual ownership and is opposite to the stated social trend. Option B, only export credit, is a financing or trade arrangement, not a vehicle-use model. Option C, only cash sales, is a payment method and does not provide sharing. The reasoning is: society shifts from “owning the vehicle” to “using transport when needed,” so sharing can suit the business. Exam cue: a change in lifestyle should lead to a matching product or service model.
