Correct answer: B. Strengthen customer experience and feedback management

Direct answer: B, strengthen customer experience and feedback management. The social environment includes people’s attitudes, expectations, habits and trust. Here, society is giving more importance to online reviews, so a service business’s reputation depends strongly on what customers experience and report. Step 1: reviews influence public opinion. Step 2: good service encourages positive, genuine feedback. Step 3: listening to complaints helps the business correct weaknesses. Step 4: replying honestly and improving service builds trust. Therefore, option B is the logical response. Option A is wrong because hiding every review removes useful information and may make customers suspicious. Option B is correct because it improves the real experience and manages feedback responsibly. Option C is wrong because an import bill is a financial or operational matter, not the direct response to social trust in reviews. Option D is wrong because changing labour law is a government or legal matter and is unrelated to review-based reputation. Memory cue: when society’s expectations change, improve the customer-facing product or service.

Correct answer: C. It meets elderly convenience and social needs

The direct answer is C: It meets elderly convenience and social needs. A business should understand that different customer groups have different abilities and needs. Elderly customers may find travel, complicated procedures or difficult instructions inconvenient. Home service reduces the need to travel, while simple instructions make the service easier to understand and use. Thus the company is responding to a social need and designing service around its customer group. Option A is wrong because the action is not specifically about increasing exports. Option B is wrong because home service and simple instructions do not deal with tax evasion. Option D is wrong because the decision concerns customer service, not machine production. Option C is correct because it explains both the target group and the benefit provided. The lesson is not that every elderly person has the same need, but that businesses should be accessible and customer-sensitive. Memory cue: when a product or service is adapted for a particular group, link it with that group’s social needs.

Correct answer: A. Diverse tastes and dietary preferences

Ethnic and cultural diversity can lead to differences in food choices, tastes, use of spices, and vegetarian or other dietary requirements. Therefore, a food business should design its products and menu around diverse tastes and dietary preferences. Bank interest rates relate to the financial environment, not the social environment.

Correct answer: D. Service change according to social concern

Parents' social concern can change app features. In exams, link concern with service innovation.

Correct answer: A. Respectful communication and patient service

Social environment includes the values, beliefs and customs that influence business behaviour. Where respect for elders is an important social value, a healthcare provider should communicate politely, listen patiently and offer sensitive service. Focusing only on speed, ignoring patients' concerns, or giving the same treatment without considering individual needs would not reflect this value. Exam tip: In questions on social values, choose the business behaviour that aligns with accepted social norms.
