Choose the option that completes the second sentence so that it means the same as the first, using the key word.
First sentence: She didn't have enough money to buy the car.
Key word: AFFORD
Second sentence: She ___ the car.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. couldn't afford to buy
- Step 1: Check what grammar the key word needs. Step 2. 'Afford' is followed by 'to' + infinitive. Answer: couldn't afford to buy. Why not the others: 'Afford' does not take -ing or 'for', and 'wasn't afford' is ungrammatical.
