1 A sales tax imposed by a state
2 A steady rise in profits over a year
3 A coupon clip from a newspaper
4 An increased in price for a popular product

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3, A Coupon clip from a newspaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeing from a consumer point of view, if he gets a free coupon from a newspaper, this is surely a positive incentive for him.

Sales tax imposed by the state, A steady rise in the profits over a year and increased price for a popular product are not positive incentives for the consumers. When consumer get something free, that is a real positive incentive for him.

Answer 2

The answer is: coupon clip from a newspaper.

The rest of the choices are not advantageous for the consumers. A sales tax is a portion of the company's sales deducted. For compensation, the company may increase their prices. A steady rise in profit could also mean high prices which bring in cash flow. Lastly, an increased price is not desirable for consumers.
