"Thats still quite a bit," Tom groused.
Growing disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15 bottle.

(A) A plat may function as a legal description of the land it represents in lieu of a written description. A map rarely fulfills such a function.
(B) A plat is more likely to show property boundaries than is a map. A map’s emphasis is more often on physical features.
(C) A map may contain omissions or generalizations of particular physical features. A plat generally shows all data necessary to accurately represent the land it delineates.
(D) A map is more likely to show dimensional data than is a plat. A plat usually is intended for uses where distances and quantities are determined by scaling.

After being away on business for a week before Christmas, Tom thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift."How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle costing $50.
"That's a bit much," said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.
"Thats still quite a bit," Tom groused.
Growing disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15 bottle.
