Answer 1

( Since question number is not specified , I would answer the first question)

Before Answering the question , I would like to define all three functions.

Medium Of Exchange - An instrument which is used to facilitate sale, purchase or trade of goods and services between two parties.

Store Of Value - Its the function of an asset/instrument that can be saved , retrieved and exchanged at a later time and specifically that instrument/asset is predictably useful at time of exchange..

Unit Of Account - Unit by which value of things are accounted and measured.

now

Buying a new pillow at amazon

Here money is used to facilitate the purchase of pillow therefore MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE.

Looking at price tag for new sweater.

All the products are measured in one unit of account (say US Dollar) therefore UNIT OF ACCOUNT.

Saving cash for study abroad trip for next semester

Here money is saved for future purpose and cash will be specifically useful at the time of exchange , therefore STORE OF VALUE.

ALL THE BEST :)))
