Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limited problem solving is used when the decision is not very important to the buyer and they are not very motivated to search for a lot of information. Elizabeth is only concerned about the liberal return policy and is not specific about the brand or store, indicating limited problem solving rather than extended problem solving or alternative problem solving. She just wants to quickly gather information from friends and make a decision.
