To carry on operations in a kind of shop (4)
I believe the answer is:
work
This might be a double definition.
'to carry on' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'operations in a kind of shop' is the second definition.
'work' can be an answer for 'operations' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'in a kind of shop' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for work that I've seen before include "Function; task" , "Tasks to be undertaken" , "Labour" , "Occupation" , "Monotonous song" .)
