Hi, please check the two questions below. Though I've checked their explanations on respective threads, I'm still confused between 'less than' and 'lower than'.
Q1: Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than one percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays major role in health-care inflation.
(A) amounts to a sum lower (B) amounts to less (C) amounted to less (D) amounted to lower (E) amounted to a lower sum Answer- C
