What category do BHS, 'a betting agent,' 'Holland and Barrat', superdrug, and M%26amp;s come into? im american
BHS (Department store)- A


Betting Agent (you probably mean a betting shop) E


Holland %26amp; Barrett (Health foods) Probably E


Superdrug ( Walgreens without the dispensary) E


M %26amp; S (Marks %26amp; Spencer) A





All these are open to interpretation and US categorisation of businesses is a little different to the UK
Reply:BHS (British Home Stores) is a department store selling clothes / underwear / shoes / home things so I guess A.





A betting agent is a bookmaker for gambling on horses etc. so would be none of the above as they don't have gambling as an option so I guess you'd have to choose G - catering and entertainment as it's about the only entertainment most of the unemployed men round here get!





Holland and Barratt is a health store selling vitamins and health foods but again they don't have food or supplements listed so would have to be E - specialist shops.





Superdrug is a pharmacy / beauty / drugstore but they don't have an option for that either so have to be E again.





M%26amp;S (marks and spencer) is a department store selling clothes / food / shoes / homewares / toys / underwear etc. but mainly only their own brand name. - Would have to be A again.





Just out of curiosity what on earth would go under "M Change" what is a change shop? Is it when you walk in you think it's a butcher but it changes to a florist?
Reply:I suppose BHS is A, its like a department store.


Betting agent not sure on from your list


Holland and Barret is Health food so i guess E


Superdrug is a pharmacist/drug store and M%26amp;S another department store.
Reply:BHS (British Home Stores) is B





A betting agent is E I would say





Holland %26amp; Barret sell health foods so I'd say E





Superdrug sells health %26amp; beauty products so E





M%26amp;S (Marks %26amp; Spencers) is A
Reply:A mainly, BHS is British Home Stores a clothing and home furnishings store (not really major any longer I have only seen one in recent years), A betting agent is a place where you can go and place bets on sporting events and buy lottery tickets etc (there is one of these on pretty much every high street, Holland %26amp; Barrat is a wholefood and health food store selling stuff like herbal remedies, vitamins and natural foods like seeds, nuts etc, Superdrug is a pharmacy that mainly specializes in cosmetics and hair styling supplies alongside the normal pharmacy stuff and Marks %26amp; Spencer is a major retailer (probably the most prestigious chain of markets in the country) that sells mainly expensive well produced preprepared food and high quality clothes.
