Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PeaPod is an online grocery retailer and eBay is an online auction site, neither of which typically offer limited time flash sales. Best Buy does have occasional flash sales, but they do not typically require customers to respond to a text message to access them. TextBuyIt is a defunct service that allowed users to purchase items via text message, but it is no longer in operation. Gilt is a website that specializes in offering limited time flash sales on designer goods and high-end products. Therefore, E is the best choice as it is the only website mentioned that offers these types of sales.
