Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
A thousand years ago, boys and girls did not ______ to read. Books were very scarce and very precious, and only a few men could read. A good book would sometimes cost as ______ as a good house.
Answer: D
The right pair is 'learn' and 'much'. 'Boys and girls did not learn to read' fits the idea that books were scarce and only a few men could read. The phrase 'cost as much as a good house' is the usual comparison. 'Remember to read', 'want to read' and 'need to read' do not carry the same sense of acquiring the skill, and 'as more as', 'as most as' and 'as high as' are not correct in the second blank.
