四選一
The new desk organizers are so ____ that each one costs less than a dollar.
看答案
inexpensive
so ____ that 在此需要接在 are 後的形容詞，且每個不到一美元的語境表示價格便宜，因此選 inexpensive。inexpensively 是副詞，不能單獨作此處補語；expense、expenses 是名詞，不能構成此處 so 加形容詞的程度結構。
同義改寫
The team bought inexpensive folders for the workshop. → The team bought folders that cost little money for the workshop.
inexpensive 在此只說明價格低，改寫保留此義，沒有增加品質好壞的判斷。
We found an inexpensive restaurant near the conference center. → We found a restaurant with low prices near the conference center.
餐廳的 inexpensive 指消費價格低；with low prices 保留價格與地點資訊。
