Answer 1

A convenience sample is a sample that involves conducting the survey using respondents who are “convenient” to the researcher; which means that the sample is being drawn from part of the population that is close to hand.

Since Quyen is conducting the survey in front of her local store this is an example of convenience sampling, therefore this is a convenience sample.
