The _________ is too high for it to be considered _________.

  • A.fair / fare
  • B.faer / fair
  • C.fare / fare
  • D.fare / fair

Answer: D

The sentence reads The fare is too high for it to be considered fair.

A fare is the price charged for a journey, so it is the thing that can be 'too high'. Fair means just or reasonable, which is what a high price fails to be considered. The pair is a classic homophone trap: both words sound the same but only this order makes sense.

'fair / fare' swaps the two, so the sentence would call the fairness too high and the price reasonable. 'faer' is not an English word. 'fare / fare' repeats the noun where an adjective is needed after 'considered'.
