The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

An interior decorator has moved his business from Los Angeles to St. Paul, Minnesota because his spouse's company transferred her to St. Paul.

The decorator is distressed because the customers in his target market have, in his words, "banal and bourgeois taste."

The customers in St. Paul have a different taste from the customers that he catered to in Los Angeles. The consumer tastes and preferences may differ from place to place according to the climatic conditions, social status, cultures, etc.

The problem with the decorator is that he does not understands that customer needs are not right or wrong, good or bad. It is not right or wrong if the customers in Minnesota have a different preference from customers in Los Angeles.

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.
