A.
По дороге в супермаркет Бренда заметила яркую вывеску в витрине бутика: «Сезонные скидки».
Бренда решила посмотреть, нет ли чего-нибудь подходящего. Она не была завсегдатаем распродаж,
хотя и знала, что на вешалках с табличкой «Скидка 50%» можно найти только маленькие размеры.
Разглядывая вещи, она случайно натолкнулась на блузку 14 размера. Она примерила е¸ и та
оказалась ей как раз впору. Бренда подумала, что эта блузка подойд¸т к е¸ любимой ч¸рной юбке. К
тому же блузка была почти даром. Бренда заглянула в свой кошел¸к и решила, что может позволить
себе купить е¸. Больше не раздумывая, Бренда подала деньги продавцу.
