Erika Day · Answer 1

B) Incurable

Explanation:

The convenience store is working legally in front of your house, and unless you have enough money to buy the whole business and close it, then you cannot do anything about it. That is what incurable means in real estate: the costs of improvements or corrections necessary are higher than the value that is added by the improvement or cure.

That is probably the reason why the house is so cheap and Maria can afford it.
