[求助]less/lower/fewer than的区别

guosijiev

以下面这道题为例，

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.

A.      less than they did
   

B.      less than it did
   

C.      less than they were
   

D.      lower than

E.       lower than they were

怎么分辨什么时候用less than什么时候用lower than，我在考虑这道题的时候想的是：A上升了xx%，比B的xx%低才对。

请nn指教，万分感谢。
