Answer 1

When buying a new backpack, Maria assessed four brands. The evaluative criteria that she used to make a purchase decision were sturdiness, weight, and design.
She based her decision according to these criteria because they were important to her. If some other backpack met all these criteria, she might have bought that other one instead.
