• B. A little shop three blocks away from the town's main street, located across the street from an elementary school and next door to an ice cream store.
• C. A stand-alone storefrom on a quiet residential street ten blocks away from the town's center
• D. A storefront in a small strip mall located on the outskirts of town that is also occupied by a pharmacy and a dry cleaner.

Answer 1

The correct option is B A little shop three blocks away from the town's main street, located across the street from an elementary school and next door to an ice cream store.

This option is both near the center of town and in a location (near school and an ice cream store) where children and their parents are sure to be around. This is the only option that meets both of Mark's requirements.
