—Pretty good.But________what you bought with the samples，I don't think it is________the money.
A．comparing；worth
B．compared；worthwhile
C．compare；worthy
D．comparing；value
解析 句意：——你认为正在出售的这件家具怎么样？——很好。但把你买的那件和这些样品相比较，我认为这件不值那么多钱。设空处所在句子，既无并列连词又无从属连词，由此可知第一空考查分词作状语，排除C项；主句主语Ⅰ与compare之间为逻辑上的主动关系，排除B项；It is worth后可跟the money/the price/钱数，故选A项。
