Hi English native speakers,

I found the follwing exercise on English text book and am puzzled.

?Our competitor’s prices are always a little ----- ours.
(A) cheap *(B)cheaper than (C) morecheap (D) most cheap

I learned "price is cheap" is wrong because price is not thing and we have to say "price is low."

Is this question right as an exercise of English text book?

Your comments are highly appreciated.

We very commonly say that a price is 'cheap'. I wouldn't say it is wrong. Does everyone in your country speak your language very precisely all the time?
