contact the better business bureau and write or call the newspaper.
none of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

The store's "going out of business" sales have lasted two years with high - priced merchandise and questionable discounts. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is an organization that deals with business - related consumer complaints and investigations. Also, the local newspaper carrying the ads should be informed as they have a role in ensuring the accuracy of the ads they publish. So, contacting both the BBB and the newspaper is the most appropriate action.

Answer:

Contact the Better Business Bureau and write or call the newspaper.
