Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
passage: Franchising is a way for small business owners to benefit from the economies of scale of the big corporation (franchiser). McDonald's and Subway are examples of a franchise. The small business owner can leverage a strong brand name and purchasing power of the larger company while keeping their own investment affordable. However, some franchisees conclude that they suffer the "worst of both worlds" feeling they are too restricted by corporate mandates and lack true independence. It is an assumption that small business are just franchisees, but the truth is many franchisers are also small businesses, Although considered to be a successful way of doing business, literature has proved that there is a high failure rate in franchising as well, especially in UK, where research indicates that out of 1658 franchising companies operating in 1984, only 601 remained in 1998, a mere 36%.
question: can a franchise be considered a small business?
Solution: Yes
Reason: Based on the passage, a franchise can be considered a small business.

Now, solve this instance: passage: Will was written out of the show a month before its 50th anniversary, with the character being graphically murdered in the episode of October 9, 2015. This generated ''major'' fan backlash, and criticism in the soap press, as well as accusations that Days of Our Lives was pandering to anti-gay sentiment in its audience base. Sweeney, who had left the show, but returned to shoot the funeral, said ''it was a huge mistake to kill Will, especially for the show's 50th anniversary''. After Days changed headwriters, on May 8, 2017, Entertainment Weekly reported that Massey was returning to Days of Our Lives to play Will. The same day, new headwriter Ron Carlivati indicated Will may not have died after all. Massey's first new episode was broadcast on September 15, 2017, when a drunken grieving Lucas hallucinates seeing his son. The character is expected to return alive in an upcoming episode.
