Question

【题目】He couldn't afford the money to go abroad this summer.

A. was unwilling to pay B. was unable to pay C. was unable to raise

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：他负担不起今年夏天出国的钱。考查词义辨析。A. was unwilling to pay不愿意付钱；B. was unable to pay不能够支付，无能力支付；C. was unable to raise不能够筹集，无能力筹集。根据句意可知couldn't afford意思是“负担不起，无能力支付”；故选B。
