Answer 1

a merchandising business because it resells clothes at retail prices

Explanation:

Answer 2

A service business because it lists the products for online purchase

Explanation:

Adele does not manufacture the clothes that she sells, but rather acquires and resells them electronically. Therefore, she provides a clothing sales service, forming part of the third sector of the economy. If, on the other hand, she manufactured the clothes, her business would be manufacturing and, therefore, she would be part of the second sector of the economy, as she would be carrying out a type of industry.
