Below are two data records about businesses.

Record 1:

Record 2:

City: Silver Spring;

State: Maryland;

Zip code or postal code: 20910-3903;

What do you think is the relationship between the two businesses described by the two records? Is it:

A. The two records are about the same business.

B. The two records have different names but are at the same location.

C. The two records are about the same business but the two records have two different locations. For example, a Chicago Hilton at 100 Main Street with phone 1234 and a Hilton Chicago at 200 Main St with phone 1234.

D. The two records are about two completely different and unrelated businesses.

E. Some other type of relationshipWhat's the relationship between these following businesses?
I just called the number and it is defintely a Hilton hotel now. It used to be a Sheraton "way back in the day" according to the receptionist.



Record 2 is clearly outdated.What's the relationship between these following businesses?
BWhat's the relationship between these following businesses?
My guess is one of the records is outdated; it's not uncommon for a hotel to change brands for various reasons including new ownership or management, or a strategic repositioning within a strong travel/tourism economy, such as the DC area.
