Even I got it wrong at the first time...Yes I know less is countable A,C,E but it was only after Mitch's explanation I got to know the necessity for 'had'

A. lesser price than you ever imagined
B. lower price than you ever imagined
C. lesser price than you had ever imagined
D. lower price than one would have ever imagined
E. lesser price than you could ever have imagined

First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

IMO C

Hi,
I have read somewhere(don't remember the source, but I saved this part in a doc.) the following:

When you compare costs, you use less.
For example: The sweater costs less than the pants.

When you compare the prices of two items, you use lower.
For example: The price of the sweater is lower than the price of the pants.
So, we are left with B and D. 'you ' should be used as the non-underlined part uses 'your'.
Hence B
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

BTW good work Frank, really good question this one..




Official Answer (OA) – B
Concepts Tested – Usage, Tense
A – Lesser is used for quantity, lower is used for price (SC Grail – pg. 123)
C – Use of lesser; is wrong. Also past perfect tense had is not required (SC Grail – pg. 57)
D – One‘ is not parallel with your‘
E - Use of lesser; is wrong. Also unnecessarily wordy.
Cheers !!
