How are these two phrases similar?
Hi! I was doing some japanese exercises and one of them asked me to mark the phrase that had a similar meaning to:「しんぶんやタバコは駅でうっています。」 And turns the right answer was:「しんぶんやタバコは駅でかうことができます。」 But I can't understand how these two match?? Can someone help me with this, please?

Question

Answer

「しんぶんやタバコは駅でうっています。」=Newspapers and cigarettes are sold at the station.

「しんぶんやタバコは駅でかうことができます。=You can buy newspapers and cigarettes at the station.

So both mean At the station, They're selling newspapers and cigarettes so that you can buy them at the station .

Answer

Some people sell such things at the station. So, you can buy them there. Both are grammatically correct and commonly used.
