3怎樣錯？
解答說：(C) This choice interrupts the connection between the
adjective "affordable" and the noun "commodity," making the
sentence hard to follow. Also, the use of "however" changes the meaning:
"however costly" implies that the cotton gin would have made cotton
cloth affordable no matter how costly it was previously.
In contrast, the original sentence only states that cotton cloth
had previously been costly.
