If you read it without the modifier,
per milligram, it's easier to see which works.
A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price _____ the drug maker charges for another product with the same ingredient.
What we are seeking to create is a clause modifying
price. So to start the clause, we need a word that refers to
price.
A)
as is used in comparisons and doesn't work here.
B)
than does not refer to
price or connect the clauses appropriately.
C)
that refers to
price and connects the clauses.
D) The price is not the price
of what the drug maker charges. It's the price of a drug.
E) The price is not the price
at whichthe drug maker charges. That doesn't make sense.
Choose
C.
