Analyze the question: The sentence is "People who have money can use it to buy goods and ____." We need a word that pairs naturally with "goods" and can be bought with money.

Explain the concept: In English and Economics, "goods and services" is a standard collocation (a fixed pairing).

• Goods are tangible items you can touch, such as food, clothes, and phones.
• Services are intangible activities done for you, such as haircuts, teaching, transport, and banking.

Both can be bought with money.

Check each option:

• A. handiwork: This means something made by hand. It is not a normal pairing with "goods" and is not what we typically "buy" in this sense.
• B. services: This is correct. "Goods and services" is the standard phrase, and money buys both.
• C. skill: A skill is an ability. You can't normally buy it with money in this sense, since you acquire it through learning.
• D. businesses: You can buy a business, but the phrase "goods and businesses" is not a natural pairing, and it doesn't fit the general idea of what money is used for in daily life.

Answer: The correct option is B. services.

Tip: In "lexis and structure" questions, look for fixed phrases (collocations). When you see "goods and ___," think "services." Others include "law and order," "pros and cons," and "rules and regulations."
