Shopping for clothes is not the same __1__ for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something __2__ His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows __3__ he wants, and his objective is to find it and get it. Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant __4__ their needs if they are not in a supermarket.
