Where in Santa Cruz can people find merch outside the campus bookstore?

• A. Bookshop Santa Cruz
• B. The Santa Cruz Green Market
• C. The Campus Arts Store
• D. Boardwalk Emporium

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is spotting a place in Santa Cruz that is separate from the campus bookstore where you can pick up merchandise. Bookshop Santa Cruz fits this perfectly: it’s a well-known independent bookstore located downtown, not part of the campus, and it offers a range of merch—things like tote bags, mugs, and other gifts—in addition to books. That makes it a natural spot to find merch outside the campus bookstore. The other options aren’t as fitting for this purpose. The Santa Cruz Green Market is primarily a market for produce and crafts on certain days, not a dedicated merch shop. The Campus Arts Store is on campus, so it isn’t outside the campus bookstore. Boardwalk Emporium exists as a Boardwalk shop, but it doesn’t serve the same broad merch role that a downtown bookstore does.
