A new beverage company has been operating in two cities, one in City A and the other in City B. The company has stocked shelves equally in supermarkets in both cities, but has stocked twice as many shelves in UDS (up and down the street) stores in City A as in City B. The two cities have similar populations and economics and the sales at each store have been roughly equal. A consultant claims this shows that stocking shelves in UDS stores has not improved beverage sales.
In the table, select changes that the company could make in City A and City B, respectively, that together would probably be most helpful in testing the consultant's claim. Make only two selections, one for city A and one for City B in each column.

1. The question asks us to find which changes could be used in Cities A and B to test the consultant's claim.
2. It is known that the two cities have been stocked equally except there are twice as much in UDS stores in City A as in City B. Since the sales were similar for every store, the consultant claims that this shows stocking shelves in UDS stores has not improved beverage sales.
3. The first, second, and fifth statements all talk about increasing or decreasing the company's presence in certain stores. However, these stores have no relation to UDS stores. So, these changes won't work for neither city.
4. Selectively choose only the largest UDS stores to have a presence in. This wouldn't help justify anything because the size of stores is not shown to have any impact. So, this change won't work for neither city.
5. Our answer will then be: City A - Eliminate its presence in UDS stores and City B - Eliminate its presence in UDS stores.
