a. shares of squeaky clean are being actively traded in the stock market. b. squeaky clean has recently launched a new range of car washes. c. the current prices of most of squeaky clean's products are lower than the prices of competing brands. d. the demand for industrial detergents is likely to increase in the near future. e. a market survey shows that a close rival has now overtaken squeaky clean in quarterly sales.
