Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a basketball only
I was confused between the following two options
1) those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping,do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball
2)those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping;someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and boomerang as well.
the OA is option 2
Whats wrong with option 1

If you read closely, you will figure out that in one a antecedent is missing. I will put a "??-mark" to show.
Hope this Helps
2. corrects the antecedent problem.1) those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping,??do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball
2)those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping;someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and boomerang as well.
