This question was phrased by the source as follows: "As you know, there are a variety of offers on the internet. You can see a selection on these cards. How often do you make use of these offers? Please organize the cards on this sheet accordingly: e-mails." (original German question: "Es gibt ja ganz verschiedene Angebote im Internet. Hier auf diesen Karten steht eine Auswahl. Wie oft nutzen Sie diese Angebote? Bitte verteilen Sie die Karten entsprechend auf das Bildblatt hier, Sie sehen ja, was da steht: E-Mails.")
