A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at consumers’ (2)_____ to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are(3)_____ at fractions.

A、quick
B、skillful
C、dumb
D、weak

D
