Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'For disposal' means to get rid of or sell off items, typically ones that are damaged or unsellable at regular prices. Shop-soiled articles are goods that have been handled or displayed, so merchants want to sell them quickly. 'Disposition' refers to someone's inherent qualities or temperament; 'dumping' implies illegal or irresponsible disposal; 'retention' means keeping, which is the opposite of selling.
