【答案及解析】

1. ANS：A

NOTE：主詞a 2% rate of inflation沒有生命，是「被預期」，要用被動語態。

inflation通貨膨脹。

2. ANS：D

NOTE: 現在完成式的被動語態。手錶是被檢查，已經被檢查完後，才能上櫃。

3. ANS：D

NOTE：what the clients can afford為名詞子句（疑問詞+主詞+動詞），後半句為「如果你不知道顧客買得起的物品是什麼」。

4. ANS：A

NOTE：名詞片語(疑問詞+to+動詞) when to retire符合下一句「無論幾歲退休」的語意。片語in advance事先。

5. ANS：A

NOTE：關係代名詞的先行詞是人跟動物的時，就只能用that。That are true friends為形容詞子句，修飾前面的a boy and a dog。
