select goods Explanation: I believe selective describes the process for choosing these goods, whereas select is a better word to describe the goods chosen. It connotes goods of special value, chosen carefully for their inherent characteristics. See the Merriam-Webster entry for more. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/select |
