41 Students in New York City are not allowed to bring cell phones to schools, but students in one neighborhood
have come up with a solution. They leave their phones at shops near their schools for a day. For a small
fee—usually fifty cents to a dollar—they can drop their phones off in the morning and pick them up after
school. The shop owners make a small profit from the storage fees, and also benefit from increased sales of
food and drinks when the students pick up their phones at the end of the day.
According to the passage, shopkeepers store phones for students because they .
(A) want the extra business the phones bring in
(B) can sell each phone for a small fee
(C) care about the students in the neighborhood
(D) provide food and drinks to students who lost their phones
