keeping
distributing
cornering
soliciting
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is cornering.
To corner a market means to gain a dominant position in it, usually by controlling a large share of the supply. In this case, Colgate is aiming to corner the toothpaste market by gaining an 8% share of the value of the market by the end of the first year.
The other options are not correct.
- Keeping a market share means to maintain the current level of sales. This is not what Colgate is aiming to do.
- Distributing a product means to make it available for purchase by consumers. This is not the same as gaining a dominant position in a market.
- Soliciting is the act of asking for something, usually money or support. This is not what Colgate is doing in this case.
