31. What can be concluded about zombie malls?
A. They are occupied.
B. They need a face lift.
C. They are costly to maintain
D. They have mostly outlived their purpose.
Answer explanation
The conclusion that can be drawn about zombie malls is that they have mostly outlived their purpose. The text describes how zombie malls, which are abandoned or struggling shopping malls, are becoming more common in suburban areas. The malls may still have functioning infrastructure, such as working escalators and lights, but they have lost their original purpose as many tenants have closed down. The example of Burlington Centre, which now has fewer tenants compared to its past, further supports the notion that zombie malls have outlived their purpose. Additionally, the mention of stalled renovation plans suggests a lack of revitalization efforts, further contributing to the conclusion that these malls have lost their relevance.

33. The intention of the writer to mention Bonobos is
A. highlight new luxurious products
B portray a new retailing experience
C promote the new line of men's clothing
D emphasise the success of a new retailer
Answer explanation
The intention of the writer to mention Bonobos is to portray a new retailing experience. The text mentions that Bonobos, an online retailer of men's clothing, has opened physical shops where customers can try on clothes and find the best fit. However, the unique aspect is that customers do not walk out of the store with their purchase; instead, the purchased items are shipped to their door. This highlights a different approach to retail where the physical store serves as a showroom rather than a traditional point of sale.
