Now select the TRUE statements according to the article.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This statement is false. The article claims that there will be "increasing discounts and promotions this year" with "Free-shipping and "buy one get one free" offers (being) expected to increase BEFORE Christmas". This means that retail stores will probably make reductions before (not after) Christmas.
This statement is false. According to the text, Christmas sales account for as much as 40% of a retail store’s annual revenue. A retail store's "annual revenue" is the money received from sales during one year. Therefore, at 40%, LESS than half of retail stores annual sales are made at Christmas.
This statement is true. The article states, "With energy prices high, consumers are also reluctant to make costly trips to the shopping mall". "Energy prices" is another way of saying the cost of fuel (or petrol) for vehicles. Because fuel prices are high, people are reluctant to spend money on petrol in order to travel to retail stores.
This statement is true. We read in the second paragraph that "Sales forecasts are gloomy. A lot of this is due to anxiety over the downturn in the economy and its effect on consumer spending". A "downturn" is a decrease in economic activity; "anxiety" is the state of being worried that something bad is going to happen. Because consumers are anxious about the economy, they are less inclined to spend money.

1 confusion : Fiona writes that her initial "bewilderment was replaced by a constant unease". "Confusion" is synonymous with "bewilderment". Both terms describe a state of great confusion or a lack of comprehension.
1 anxiety: "Anxiety" is not synonymous with "bewilderment". "Anxiety" describes the state of being nervous or anxious.
1 enjoyment : "Enjoyment" is not synonymous with "bewilderment". "Enjoyment" describes contentment or pleasure.
1 sadness: "Sadness" is not synonymous with "bewilderment". "Sadness" describes melancholic or unhappy feelings.
2 discomfort: "Discomfort" is synonymous with "unease" in this and many other contexts. Fiona writes that her initial confusion was replaced with "unease", meaning that Horatio made her feel uncomfortable.
2 comfort: "Unease" is not synonymous with "comfort". In fact, the two words are antonyms.
2 pride: "Pride" is not synonymous with "discomfort" in this or any other context. "Pride" indicates self-satisfaction or pleasure, and in some cases even arrogance. Peacocks are very proud.
2 happiness: "Happiness" is not synonymous with "discomfort" in this or any other context.
