How does the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) define a merchant?

What will be an ideal response?

Generally, Article 2 of the UCC applies to all sales contracts, whether they involve merchants or not. However, Article 2 contains several provisions that either apply only to merchants or impose a greater duty on merchants. The UCC defines a merchant as 1. a person who deals in the goods of the kind involved in the transaction or 2. a person who, by his or her occupation, holds himself or herself out as having knowledge or skill peculiar to the goods involved in the transaction.
