highly-priced goods
I am doing a reading activity now and I have got a problem. I am supposed to match questions with paragraphs about different airports in Britain.
One of the questions is:
Which airport has shops with highly priced goods?
There are two paragraphs which, I think, could be appropriate, but I have to choose only one.
In one of them (A), the author writes:
A: The shops are clustered into the central part of the hall, and expensive ranges are well represented. (What does the word "range" mean here?)
In another paragraph (B), the author says:
B: There is also an up-market coffee shop.
I know the meaning of "up-market", but can a coffee shop sell "goods"?
With which paragraph do you think I should match this question?
Thanks for your help!

For this exercise, match it to the shop in the central part of the hall, not the coffee shop. A coffee shop can sell goods - mugs, coffee grinders, whatever - but compared to a Versace store, they are not highly priced. I find "ranges" an odd use here, but I expect it means that goods sold in shops can range (extend) from the cheap items at the book store to the every expensive.
