This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:
You have just read a news article that discusses the closing of two fast-food restaurants in a small French town in the countryside. Why might these restaurants have failed in the town?
A). French food is too similar to the food at fast-food restaurants.
B). French culture favors home-cooked meals and fresh ingredients.
C). Most French towns already have more than one fast-food restaurant.
D). Fast-food restaurants offer a wide selection of options at cheap prices.
The correct answer is B) French culture favors home-cooked meals and fresh ingredients.
Explanation:
One element that should be considered when opening a business is the cultural elements such as beliefs, practices, norms, etc. This applies to restaurants as communities have cultural ideas about food. In the case of fast food, this is very popular in cities but not in small towns. Moreover, in France traditional French food that includes fresh ingredients is preferred over fast-food. Also, home-cooked meals are considered better by many than food in restaurants. In this context, it is likely the two restaurants failed because cultural ideas do not align with fast food instead "French culture favors home-cooked meals and fresh ingredients".
