Read the following passage and answer the questions A and B : We spend money for different reasons. We buy foods, clothes or everyday essentials, pay for different services, entertain people, travel $\to$ places, help others in need or invest in business and thus spend money everyday.

They use these words $\to please the customers as the more a customer$ buys, the higher the profit is Overspending is not only related $\to$ shopping, it applies $\to other activities as well such as eating$ out. Many people buy too many items $\to eat in a$ restaurant. They can eat only some of them and the rest are wasted. It's nom a responsible attitude. We cannot simply waste food because we have money $\to buy$ it. Young people in a shopping mall often look at an item on display and think 'Oh I must buy this. I really need this. They may nom have the money needed in their wallet. So they use credit cards but using them is like taking a loan. If they are not careful, the loans increase which might lead them $\to a$ debt-trap.
