Answer 1

In this paragraph:

The first was an old TV repair shop called B’s TVs—a shack, mostly, where the tenant sat inside smoking cigars, waiting for customers to trigger the front door’s buzzing optical alarm like flies in a bug zapper.

The author

Conveys the idea that the TV repair shop is uninviting.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this answer we need to analyze it carefully. First of all, with "a" option. The author never mentions something annoying. That is a perspective claim, however, in our paragraph, we have only descriptions. B option talks about the tenant not wanting customers. However, the most logical idea would be to keep the store closed. So it is incorrect. C option talks about the tenant taking advantage of people, however, the description includes no abusive scene. Nevertheless, we do found the scene very polluted. Which guides us to an idea of a very disturbing environment.
