Questions: Which scenarios can be considered effects of Sole Sister Shoe Store choosing to sell dress shoes over sneakers? Select two answers. High school athletes stop shopping there. The inventory of sports socks goes unsold. Sneaker sales were declining before the decision to sell dress shoes. Dress shoes cost less for the store to buy from a supplier.

The answer is:

1. High school athletes stop shopping there.
2. The inventory of sports socks goes unsold.

Explanation:

1. High school athletes stop shopping there.
   This scenario is a direct effect of the store's decision to sell dress shoes over sneakers. High school athletes are more likely to be interested in sneakers, which are typically used for sports and casual wear. By focusing on dress shoes, the store may no longer cater to the needs of this demographic, leading them to shop elsewhere.

2. The inventory of sports socks goes unsold.
   This is another potential effect of the store's decision. Sports socks are often purchased alongside sneakers, as they are complementary products. If the store shifts its focus to dress shoes, which are not typically worn with sports socks, the demand for sports socks may decrease, resulting in unsold inventory.

3. Sneaker sales were declining before the decision to sell dress shoes.
   This statement describes a condition that existed before the decision was made, rather than an effect of the decision itself. Therefore, it is not a correct answer.

4. Dress shoes cost less for the store to buy from a supplier.
   This statement pertains to the cost structure and purchasing decision of the store, rather than an effect of choosing to sell dress shoes over sneakers. It does not directly relate to the consequences of the decision on the store's operations or customer base.
