Employment costs rose 2.8 percent in the 12 months that ended in September, slightly less than they did in the year that ended in the previous quarter.
表示数量的更高/更低用higher/lower,只能做形容词。跟在动词的后面表示动作的多少用less/more
The costs rose 2.8 percent this year,xx than last year.
这里的中心词是谓语动词rose,rose less/more,不是2.8%这个数字在比较。
如果要比较数量,可以说The costs rose 2.8 percent this year,which was lower than last year.或a number lower than last year
If you wanted to use "lower than" correctly, you would need a noun in the second part of the comparison (e.g. "2.8% is lower than the percent for last quarter).
some uncountable nouns are plural. for instance, "taxes" is a plural noun, but the concept that it represents is uncountable (taxes are not things that you can separate into one, two, three,...)
2.8 percent 在这里是副词还是宾语啊。less than呢
此句是修饰cost,用more / less; 如果是numbers 用higher / lower。 动词rose, 用 did。
修饰动词只能用less和more,不能用low和high。
costs rose对应they did
比较的动词是rose,lower只能比较名词,故只有A对
和前面的动词rose保持一致--用did
lower 不能在比较的时候做动词,只有 less或者more可以。然后比较的事rise的这个amount,所以应该是did,而不是they were。
好吧 没有理解好句意
原句句意为从去年Sept到今年Sept提升的的cost比从去年June到今年June提升的少
lower只能做形容词,不能修饰动词rose;
high/low 不能修饰动作,只能修饰名词。more/less才可以修饰动作,也可以修饰名词。
did排除cde,错选B,Employment costs是复数,但因为percent理解为proportions,没有意义,不想rate可能有歧义。

lower只能做形容词,不能修饰动词rose;
high/low 不能修饰动作,只能修饰名词。more/less才可以修饰动作,也可以修饰名词。
数字只能比大小,所以首先排除DE.
如果要做numbers 比较,一般用greater(less) than, 而不是more than
被比较对象:employment costs
rise 这个动作不能说rise lower,lower一般用于数值上的高低;只能说rise的程度less
比较的rise为动作,后面用do的过去时did;
lower只能用来比较名词 前面是rose
