Choose the correct answer and rationale. “The prices listed on retail websites...”

Answer
A

B
...are reliable, because you have proof of the advertised price.
C
...are unreliable, because internet commerce does not have the same regulations as normal commerce.
D
...are often below the total cost, because they usually do not include shipping charges.

The price shown on a retail website may not be the amount you ultimately pay. Shipping charges are often added at checkout, so the listed price can be lower than the total cost. The correct answer is “are often below the total cost, because they usually do not include shipping charges.”
