题目

he was e4ager to make some extra money,since during these years he could hardly live on his /
a:wage ; b; wages ; 为什么要加s?

答案

wage译为工资、收入,可数名词,通常用复数形式,但也可用单数形式
live on one's wages 是一个短语,意思为靠工资吃饭 、靠工资生活
例句：Since almost no education,no grasp useful technologies,so it is hard for him to earn enough to live on wages.由于几乎没有受过教育,没有掌握有用的技术,所以他很难挣到足够维持生活的工资.
