Important examples of dealership in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, dealership usually refers to a place where vehicles are sold.

▪He bought his car from a dealership downtown.
▪He bought his car from a car store downtown.

Example of a confusing word: partnership (a business relationship)

▪He bought his car from a partnership downtown.
▪He bought his car through a business relationship downtown.
"Dealership" refers to a business authorized to sell specific products, typically vehicles. In the sentence, "He bought his car from a dealership downtown," the word "dealership" is correctly used to indicate a place where cars are sold. "Partnership," however, refers to a business relationship between two or more parties and does not denote a physical location where goods are sold. Therefore, using "partnership" in this context is grammatically incorrect and changes the meaning entirely. Thus, "dealership" is the correct choice.
