[rocket 2006]

............................ Many online shops have user-friendly websites because they are-
a) out of site b) easy to operate c) out of reach d) difficult to

The question here is what "they" refers to

1- If it refers to "user – friendly websites then the correct answer is b)

2- If it refers to "Online shops" then the correct answer is c)

My opinion :

This sentence focuses on "Online shops" which try to increase their sales by all means and create themselves websites because not many customers can reach these shops (out of reach ) either because they are in other countries or they don't have real shops . Their shops are virtual and are only available on the web .

So my conclusion is that "out of reach" is the most correct as the shade of meaning implies .

My regards and respect to all
