关于spend、cost、pay和take的问题~

Question

求高人解释一下此题：
---How much did it _______ you to buy this dictionary ?
---188 yuan.
A.spend B.cost C.pay D.take
为什么这里的答案选D？？？而不是B？？~
RE：1楼……不是有这个用法吗？it costs （sb） money to do sth 做某事花某人多少钱

Answer 1

在这里it是个形式主语，所以用it takes sb. some time/some money to do sth.
如果it是个代词的话，可以用 "it costs sb some money."

举例：1)当it是形式主语：
It took me 10 years to write this book.
It took me 100 yuan to buy this book.
2) 当it是代词：
I bought a book yesterday and it cost me 100 yuan.
或：The book cost me 100 yuan.
以上两句中cost是及物动词，也就是说后面跟宾语。
实际上cost也可以作为不及物动词使用，比如：How much did it cost?

关于spend和pay
造句：I spent 100 yuan to buy this book. 或 I spent 100 yuan on this book.
I paid 100 yuan for this book. 或 I was paid to do this. （有人花钱雇我做这件事。）

Answer 2
