This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. We are supposed to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or phrase:

Prices at the mall were outrageous,______, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

A. or at least

B. in other words

C. not to say

Answer:

Prices at the mall were outrageous, A. or at least, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

Explanation:

<u>"Or at least" is used when we add similar information to what has already been said, but not identical. It is as if we are rethinking what we said and specifying it better, being careful to not exaggerate. </u>

For example: "He hates ice cream, or at least I think he does, because he never has ice cream when he is with me." "Or at least" was used in the sentence to explain why I think he hates ice cream and to show that maybe the first piece of information was an exaggeration.

<u>This is the best phrase to use in the sentence given in the question. The speaker first says the prices are outrageous, be then he thinks again and uses "or at least" to show that the prices are higher than in other malls. Perhaps they were not outrageous after all.</u>

Thepotemich [5.8K]

    The idea of what it means to be successful after high school greatly varies from person to person, as everyone has different goals and aspirations for their future. In today's society, being called successful is often associated with wealth, however for many this is not the goal.

    Many people strive to be morally successful over wealth, as they feel that being part of a good cause is more important. Many professions that fall under this category are joining the army to protect and serve, representing your country in international sports, or participating in a non-profit organization.

How is the setting important to the plot and theme of the story diary of wimpy kid book 1
s2008m [1.1K]
The plot is about how middle schoolers evolve. The setting of the school shows the everyday life of the main middle schooler going through the struggles of being a preteen and the preparation for high school. (If this doesn’t help google the plot of the story and think about the setting and the the relation.)
