(25819-!-item-!-188;#058&002130) 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
答案（A）
我做的时候选E，语法笔记解释说， lower只能做形容词,不能修饰动词rose。
但我当时的想法是，(present costs) lower than they were...,即lower直接修饰costs，而不是修饰rose这个动词。
