Read the following passage. For each numbered blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choo the best one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
A market is commonly thought of as a place where commodities are bought and sold. Thus fruit and vegetables are sold wholesale at Covent Garden Market and meat is sold
wholesale at Smithfield Market. But there are markets for things 21 commodities, in the usual n. There are 22 estate markets, foreign exchange markets, labor markets, short-term capital markets, and so on; there may be a market for anything which has a price. And there may be no particular place 23 which dealings are confined. Buyers and llers may be 24 over the whole world and instead of actually meeting together in a market-place they may deal with one another 25 telephone, telegram, cable or letter. 26 dealings are restricted to a particular place, the 27 may consist wholly or in part of agents acting 28 instructions from clients far away. Thus agents buy meat at Smithfield on behalf of 29 butchers all over England; and 30 on the London Stock Exchange buy and ll 31 on instructions from clients all over the world. We must therefore define a market 32 any area over which buyers and llers are 33 such clo touch with one another, either directly or 34 dealers, that the prices 35 in one part of the market affect the prices paid in other parts.
