A 我们可用“辨析法”和“排除法”解答本题。结合选项可知问句句意为“这台电视机花了多少钱？”。此题考查四个表示“花费”的词的用法：cost常用于句型Sth. cost(s) sb. some money，多用于花费金钱，主语为事物；spend常用于句型Sb. spend(s) some money on sth.和Sb. spend(s) time (in) doing sth.等，主语只能是人，故此处排除B项；take常用于句型It takes sb. some time to do sth.，其中it 为形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语，故排除C项；pay常用于句型Sb. pay(s) some money for sth.或构成短语pay for“付款；支付……的费用”，主语只能是人，故排除D项，此题选A。
