Question

【题目】The housing price in Hefei today is much_____ than that of ten years ago. I can't afford it

A. Lower B. higher C. cheaper D. dearer

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：合肥的房价比十年前高了许多，我买不起。lower更低的；higher更高的；cheaper更便宜的；dearer更贵的。根据句意I can’t afford it可知，房价变高了，故先排除A和C。这句话的主语是The housing price，应用“高低”这样的形容词修饰，故应选B。
