Questions:

Do you know anything about circuit city ?

Why circuit city is making liquidation sale ?

Vocabulary:

Liquidation : To settle the affairs of a business or an estate by disposing of its assets and liabilities

bankruptcy: Having been legally declared financially insolvent.

 What do you know about capitalizing names?

Can you fix the word order in the second question?

Having only two new vocabulary words suggest that perhaps the story was too easy for you.  I recommend that you challenge yourself with something more difficult so that you acquire more vocabulary.
