I have a following question and have just heard the answer is 1, not 4. (can't understand.) Pls explain why?

Which of the following is a great example of "drive a hard bargain"?

  1. The price I paid for this apple watch is almost the same as the retail price.

  2. This apple watch was a little expensive, but I think I got it at reasonable price.

  3. This apple watch I paid for was so cheap, but now it doesn't work.

  4. The price I paid for this apple watch is better than the retail price.

I don't think any of them are good examples, much less great. You'd have to ask the people that gave you the test to be sure.

But I suppose that number 1 really is the correct example, even if it isn't an obvious one.

The sentences mention "I" several times, while omitting the more significant person.
It was the dealer that drove the hard bargain, not you.
You tried to get a better price but the salesman barely budged from the original offer.
