    Hydrangea is the correct answer because it is a type of flower. The other options, Sprengeri, Snap dragon, and Dahlia, are also types of flowers, but they are not the specific flower being described in the question. Therefore, Hydrangea is the only option that correctly names the flower.

    Correct Answer
    A. White Carnation
    Explanation
    A neutral colored flower refers to a flower that is not overly bright or vibrant in color. White is often considered a neutral color as it is a combination of all colors in the spectrum.

These countries also have well-established flower industries with large-scale farms that specialize in growing and exporting flowers. The proximity to the United States allows for faster and more efficient transportation, ensuring that the flowers remain fresh and reach the market quickly.

    A wire service is a company that acts as an intermediary between customers and local florists.

They charge a percentage of the arrangement cost as a commission for their services and also process credit card transactions on behalf of participating florists.

    What service would you find in a full service shop that you would not find in a stem shop?

    • Cut flowers by the stem

    • Corsages

    • Ready-made arrangements

    • Delivery

    Correct Answer
    A. Delivery
    Explanation
    In a full-service shop, customers can expect to find delivery services, which means that the shop will deliver the purchased items to the customer's desired location. On the other hand, a stem shop does not offer delivery services. Therefore, delivery is a service that is available in a full-service shop but not in a stem shop.

    • Complementary

    • Monochromatic

    Correct Answer
    A. Analogous
    Explanation
    An analogous color scheme is created by using colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. In this scheme, colors that are similar in hue are chosen to create a harmonious and cohesive look. Since the question states that this is an example of an analogous color scheme, it implies that the colors being referred to in the question are similar in hue and are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.

    • Statice

    Correct Answer
    A. Statice
