Explanation:

The dictionary defines "revert" as returning to a previous state/condition. The first sentence uses it correctly: Hong Kong returned to Chinese control (a prior state before British colonial rule). The second sentence misuses "revert" (it should be "returned" for store credit, as "revert" does not mean exchanging goods).

Answer:

Hong Kong, long a British colony, reverted to Chinese control on July 1, 1997.
