    The difficulty is that each one of these is different and covers an entire merchandising chapter. So there's no way to "get you started," because even if I outright gave you an answer to one of them, it won't help at all with the others.

    Find examples of them in your text and make some attempt to do them. Once you've done that, then we can let you know if you're on the right track, what you have correct and incorrect, and give some further hints.
