网友回答
(答案→)A. paid
B. cost
C. bought
D. Spent
解析：考查近义词辨析。pay的主语是人，构成sb pays some money for sth某人花钱买某物；cost主语是物，构成it costs sb some money to do sth做某事花费某人多少钱；buy的主语是人，构成sb buys sth for sb或sb buys sb sth某人给另一人买某物；spend主语是人，构成sb spend time/money on sth/ (in) doing sth某人花时间或金钱在某事上/ 做某事。句意“这块手表很好，而且他以（比原价）少20%的价钱买的它。”故选A。
