answer explanation: 

<p>Many people complain that buying a house via real estate brokers is <u>such</u> a rip-off because of the exorbitant costs involved in selling a house in the country.</p>

<p>The correct answer is <u>(A) such</u>.</p>

<p>In this sentence, the phrase "such a rip-off" is used to emphasize the extent or degree of the rip-off. The word "such" is an adjective that is used before a singular countable noun (in this case, "rip-off") to express the idea of something being of a particular kind or quality. It is used to emphasize the extent or degree of the noun it modifies.</p><ul>
