问题 Consumers deprived of the information and advice they needed were quite simply ______ very cheat in the marketplace.
选项 A、at the mercy of
B、in lieu of
C、by courtesy of
D、for the price of
答案A
解析 句中的(be)deprived of…意为“被剥夺了……”，在此句的意思相当于(be)short of…，即“缺乏 (信息)而且未被给以(必要的忠告的消费者们)”。据此推知，后面句子的大意是“很容易在市场上受骗上当”，因此选用at the mercy of，意思是“任……摆布，在……前毫无办法”。再如：The champion had the other boxer at his mercy．(这位冠军拳击手征服了他的对手。)in lieu of意为“替代”； by courtesy of意为“在……的允许下”；for the price of不是固定用法，但可以说sell two things for the price of one(两件商品只收一件的钱)。
