本文介紹了在超市里有很多品牌的巧克力和酸奶，我們應(yīng)該選擇哪一種牌子的。你可以選擇你最喜歡的，或者看單價(jià)。

【1】句意：答案要視情況而定。

此處主語the answer是第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故選D。

【2】句意：如果有一個(gè)品牌你比其他品牌更喜歡，你可能愿意為它支付額外的錢。

修飾名詞money用形容詞，結(jié)合句意，支付額外的錢，故選A。

【3】句意：它的意思是在一個(gè)物品旁邊放一個(gè)類似的物品，看看哪個(gè)給你更多的錢。

根據(jù)which gives you more for your money此處是兩個(gè)物品比較，因此表示相似的，故選E。

on the shelf在貨架上，故選B。

【8】句意：他們邀請人們品嘗一些名牌蛋糕，并將它們與超市生產(chǎn)的蛋糕進(jìn)行比較。
