B.to buy
C.to buying
D.bought
答案：4.B
解析：
【分析】本题考查英语中动词的固定搭配用法，核心是掌握afford的正确搭配结构。首先回忆：动词afford表示“负担得起”时，后面需接动词不定式（to do）作宾语，这是固定用法。接下来分析选项的形式，判断哪个符合该结构即可。
【解析】afford的固定搭配为afford to do sth，意为“负担得起做某事”。逐一分析选项：A选项buying是动名词形式，不符合搭配；B选项to buy是动词不定式，符合要求；C选项to buying是错误结构；D选项bought是动词过去式，不符合搭配。因此正确答案为B。
【答案】B
【知识点】动词不定式；固定搭配
【点评】本题考查基础动词的固定搭配，属于初中英语核心语法考点，只要牢记afford的用法就能快速解题，难度较低。
