Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "pseudoplace" suggests that the shopping mall is not a real place, but rather a simulated, artificial environment that relies heavily on signs and symbols (semiotics) to create a specific commercial atmosphere. The word "sacred" would not be appropriate in this context as it typically refers to places or objects that are considered holy or imbued with religious meaning, which does not apply to a shopping mall.
