发帖数: 787 | 4 it should be "spend money on something", so #2 is not correct.
there is no such a phrase as "on something able to", so #1 is not correct.
The difference between the two sentences is the word "on" and "for".
Thanks.

use pencil. Graphite particles and dust from pencils flying loose in the
cabin is an electrical hazard. NASA at first used grease pencils, but
later used the pressurized Fisher pens, if I remember correctly.
