How much did the woolen sweater
——One hundred and twenty yuan.

A． spend on B． pay for C． cost
D． take
(Kunming, Yunnan in 2002)
Analysis sentence meaning: ~How much is that sweater? —— 120 yuan.The answer is C. Spend is paired with the preposition on, and pay is paired with the preposition for to indicate how much to spend. When used in a sentence, people should be used as the subject instead of things. Therefore, options A and B can be denied after conceptual analysis. Putting the take in item D into the sentence does not conform to the English expression method, and it cannot be established.It is a customary expression to use cost when the subject is a thing.

Both cost and spend can be used to spend time and money, for example: The computer cost me 1000 dollars.I paid $1000 for this computer. (2) Take is generally only used to spend time and other things; ③pay means "payment", often said: sb.pay money for sth. When cost is used as a noun to indicate "expense", pay attention: it means "the cost of ...", and it is usually followed by the preposition of instead of for.Another example: The cost of living keeps rising- the cost of living keeps rising. Although cost is a transitive verb, it cannot be used in passive voice.Example: The coat costs eighty dollars.This top is worth $80.
