Read the sentence.The Great Wave was inexpensive to purchase, costing only about the same as a double helping of noodles. Since lots of copies could be printed and still look good, it made loads of money.
Answer
A
The Great Wave was as cheap as buying a double helping of noodles. Since lots of copies could be made and still look great, people started making piles of money.
B
The Great Wave was inexpensive to purchase, costing about the same as a double helping of noodles. Since mass quantities could be produced and still look exquisite, it became highly profitable to sell.
C
The Great Wave cost next to nothing, practically the same as a double helping of noodles. Since mass quantities could be produced and still look awesome, it became highly profitable to sell.
D
The Great Wave was inexpensive to purchase, similar to buying a double helping of noodles. Since lots of copies could be made that still looked amazing, those who sold it made tons of money.
Explanation
Choice B keeps the original meaning while using clear, appropriately formal wording. “Mass quantities could be produced” restates that lots of copies could be printed, and “highly profitable to sell” explains that the copies made a lot of money. Choices A and C use informal phrases such as “piles of money” and “awesome,” while D shifts the focus to the sellers making money.
