A. less; older                                                    B. less; elder

C. fewer; older                                                 D. fewer; elder

Answer 1

【解析】选A。考查形容词作定语。句意：这台洗衣机很环保，因为相比较老型号的洗衣机它用的水电较少。little用于修饰不可数名词water；再根据than可确定用比较级less。older表示年龄大或时间长，意为“较老的”；elder用于表示人的出生顺序，意为“年长的”。
