Correct option is A
The correct substitution is "were unable to get their money’s worth".
Explanation:
· The phrase "did not get" refers to a specific past event.
· However, the context here implies a more general hypothetical situation where consumers were unable to obtain value for their money.
· The phrase "were unable" conveys the intended meaning correctly.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use "were unable" to describe a hypothetical or past condition indicating incapability.
Example:
