Question

【题目】Before stamps, people didn't for the letters they sent,but for the letters they received.

A. pay B. cost C. spend D. take

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：在邮票之前，人们不用为他们寄送的信件付钱，但是要为他们收到的信付钱。pay付钱，常跟介词for搭配；cost花费，主语是物；spend花费，常用于句型spend +时间或者金钱+in doing sth./on sth.；take花费，常用于句型It takes sb. sometime to do sth.中。根据空后的for可知选A。
