The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely. (A) and meat rarely (B) and meat was rare (C) with meat as rare (D) meat a rarity (E) with meat as a rarity
The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely. (A) and meat rarely (B) and meat was rare (C) with meat as rare (D) meat a rarity (E) with meat as a rarity
Because the first part of the sentence talk about a largely (but not completely)vegetarian food and its constituents, so the logical end to the statment would be mentioning something which would complete the meal and option E fits the purpose well.

Cheers!!
My choice is A. The verb must be in plural because the sentence refers to areas. Thus, B, C and D must be eliminated. E changes or for and.

acc to me, services is not a measurable singular quantity, hence "little services" is not a proper usage...it should have been "few services"..however, we also never say "few water", instead "little water" is proper... so we are left with C and E...however, E is wrongly constructed...hence, C sounds a viable option to me...

The adjective little modifies "mass nouns" (e.g., water), which refer to some undifferentiated quantity; the adjective few modifies "count nouns" (e.g., services), which refer to groups made up of distinct members that can be considered individually. Hence, choices A, B, and D are incorrect because little cannot properly modify services. Also, since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb; thus, the singular verbs exists (in B and C) and is (in D) are wrong.Choice E is best: the plural verb are is used, and few correctly modifies services.

I would choose C because is less redundant to say x costs $ than to say the cost of x to y or the cost to y of x.
