bring at

bought at

No substitution required

brought to

- The sentence in question is: "She paid a high price for the clothes she brought at the boutique."

- Option 1: bring at - "Bring" is an incorrect form here. It doesn't fit the past tense needed for the action.

- Option 2: bought at - "Bought" is the correct past tense of "buy" and fits perfectly as "buying clothes" is the intended action.

- Option 3: No substitution required - The original sentence uses "brought," which is incorrect as it implies transportation, not purchase.

- Option 4: brought to - This also implies transportation and mismatches with the context of purchasing clothes.

- The phrase "bought at" is the best substitute to accurately convey the act of purchasing clothes at a boutique.
