Hello Everyone,
I took a test and I couldn �t understand this question. Yeah, I did it wrong.
Could you please tell me why the answer is E not B?
The Cirrus SR20 was an attractive plane ..................... people interested in learning how to fly, and it could also serve effectivelyas an air taxi .............. short-haul routes.
A- berween /over B- to / at C- towards/in D- among/under E- for / on
Answer: E
I looked up some dictionaries:
Macmillan:
having qualities or features which arouse interest:the site is close to other prestige schemes which should make it attractive to developers
Cambridge:
a very attractive offer
We want to make the club attractive to a wider range of people.
Please, help me clarify it.
thanks in advance

The answer is E more because of "on" than "for". Also, you �ll notice that your examples have "to" immediately after "attractive", which makes a difference. That jacket is attractive to me. In this sentence, "attractive" involves the emotions a little. That is an attractive jacket for people who like a sporty look. In this sentence, "attractive" is more descriptive and less personal. I don �t think "to" would work in this sentence. You can �t use "at" in the second blank, so E must be the answer. I hope this helps you, Bruce |
