题目

Of course,it is the men and women who buy these improted things in the shops who really have to pay the duties,in the （ ）of higher prices.
A.form
C.terms
答案选A,为什么?in the （ ）of higher prices.是修饰the men and women,作定语么?

答案

因为：in the form of 以…的形式
还有terms的短语是：in terms of 依据；按照；在…方面；以…措词,没有the的,这个是in the terms of 是错误的
后边的in the form of higher prices.是整个句子的状语,其实这个是考察固定搭配的
