In the question 7 of your homework? hehe
the problem is with the signal, this would work if the whole 300m was visible you could look from the other end to the other. It would work in a hall or a open space. but as there are walls in between the range doesn't extend as far. Personally I would Use 3 wireless accesspoints to cover the whole building, if there are many stores. I might need to add additional accesspoints to cover the whole building.
Question 10
I would personally choose a remotely configureable switch / hub. so if a problem came up I could connect to it from my workdesk.

- I mean if there are many floors in the building. Stores, well you know what I mean, not shops.

- Intelligent, it has the remote control features.(network management, etc etc)
I would say it is the best choice to a remote office with no it staff.
Intelligent Hubs:
Intelligent hubs add some more features to that provided by the
active hubs. An intelligent hub provides all the features of a passive
and an active hub; it also provides some features, which help in
managing the network resources effectively and efficiently. Intelligent
hubs help in improving the performance of the network/LAN that you are
using. As an active hub helps in finding out where the problem
persists, an intelligent hub itself finds out the problem in the
network, diagnoses it and tries to rectify it without letting the
problem hamper the performance of the network. Intelligent hubs
provides feature that helps in determining the exact cause and exact
place of the fault, this saves lot of time and energy which otherwise
would have been required for finding out the exact place of fault and
identifying the solution for it. Another feature of intelligent hub is
that they can decide which packet goes in which output line, this helps
in controlling and minimizing data traffic in the network, which
results in improved performance of the network/LAN.
Intelligent hubs also help in managing the data communication
within the network, it recognizes the slower devices automatically and
helps them to transmit the data with their own speed, and during this
time the hub manages the traffic within the network effectively. This
feature also improves the performance of the network manifolds. An
intelligent hub also adopts the changes in the network very easily and
it also supports different technologies without need of changing
anything in configuration.

- as these are just school questions Id say intelligent is the best choice but in real life it would debend, obviously if the remote office has only 1-2 people it wouldn't be smart to invest in a intelligent hub, a passive or active one might do just fine.
