Question

question 8 / 10
which of the following would be a considered a want rather than a need for most people?
a. a smartphone
b. warm clothes in the winter
c. a place to live
d. nutritious food

Explanation:

To determine a want vs. a need, needs are essential for survival (e.g., shelter, warm clothes in winter, nutritious food), while wants are non - essential, desired goods/services. A smartphone is a luxury/desired item, not essential for survival, so it's a want. Options B (warm clothes in winter), C (a place to live), and D (nutritious food) are needs.

Answer:

A. A smartphone
