A hardware shop owner is setting up his store before opening and hangs a sign advertising: 1 for 10 cents, 15 for 20 cents and 110 for 30 cents. What is he selling?

"You are wrong. Do gas stations sell cigarettes?"

Do you mean to say that if I said, "Gas stations sell gas," I would be wrong because they sell things other than gas? I hope not.

To say that a grocer sells groceries, a pharmacist sells pharmaceuticals, or that a hardware shop owner sells hardware seems a pretty airtight statement to me.
