    You can still be on the grid and produce your own electricity. The electric company will even buy extra electricity from the consumer.

    Electricity or milk is a good. Milk delivery or electricity delivery is a service that delivers a good.

    No way you’d say “Milk” was a service, just like you shouldn’t say “Electricity” is a service. If you give more detail that makes it a service, then it would be a service.

    It was a bullshit question and the teacher didn’t want to admit that.

      Definitely a bullshit question. Yes, “Electricity” is not a service without context like you said. But if I said what services does your house have? You could say “electricity” if you’re connected to an electricity service

        Yep because you’re referring directly to the service. Which makes it a service.

        It was one of those word bank middle school questions
