The given sentence compares the cost of two gifts given to two different people on different occasions. The correct answer is option B because it correctly identifies the error in the sentence.
Explanation:
- The sentence is divided into four parts: A, B, C, and D.
- Part A introduces the subject "Dad" who gave a gift to someone named Sara.
- Part B describes the gift as "good jewellery" and mentions that it cost more than something else.
- Part C introduces another person named David who received a gift as well.
- Part D describes David's gift as a "cheap leather wallet" and mentions that it was given to him as a reward for finishing high school.
- The sentence compares the cost of Sara's gift with the cost of David's gift, which is not logical because the two gifts are different in nature and purpose.
- The correct comparison should be between the cost of Sara's gift and the cost of David's gift, not between the gift and the reward.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer because it replaces "cost more" with "was more expensive", which is a more appropriate phrase to use when comparing the cost of two items.
