    • 31

    • 29

    • 36

    • 34

    Correct Answer
    A. 29
    Explanation
    The pattern in the series is that each number is obtained by adding the previous number with a specific increment. In this case, the increment is increasing by 2 each time. Starting with 11, we add 2 to get 13, then add 2 again to get 15, and so on. However, in the missing number, the increment is not followed and it is decreased by 2 instead. Therefore, the missing number is 29.

    • Less expensive

    • A better deal

    Correct Answer
    A. Less expensive
    Explanation
    When your competitor is charging more than you, it would be more effective to highlight that your product is less expensive. This comparison emphasizes the lower price point of your product, which can be a significant factor for customers when making a purchase decision. By positioning your product as less expensive, you are directly addressing the price difference between your product and the competitor's, making it a compelling reason for customers to choose your product over theirs.
