Correct Option: 4
- Option 1 is a general statement about shopping preferences that does not specifically lead into the subsequent details about regional and gender-based shopping behaviors.
- Option 2 focuses on a specific marketing strategy and does not introduce the broader topic of regional and gender differences in shopping behavior.
- Option 3 although it references gender differences, is too specific and does not set the stage for the discussion of regional differences that follow.
- Option 4 is correct as it introduces a broad theme that encompasses both regional and gender differences in shopping habits, providing an effective introductory sentence to the paragraph.
