'selling for' and 'selling at' are very similar, and in a casual conversation they can be easily used interchangeably, however they may refer to different situations. "the book was sold for $5" indicates a sale of one or more books. "the book was sold at $5" discusses the price of a book and doesn't mention the process of being sold. In the given question 'selling at' is the correct usage.

I did not . . . . . . . . to university yesterday.
(A) went
(B) go
(C) gone
(D) going
Solution:
The verb which comes after the auxiliary verb - "did", always will be the base form (that called "infinitive" form, meaning without any inflection to the past tense). Therefore: I did not go to university yesterday.
If the verb is 'normal', the interrogative is formed with the auxiliary do/does/did. As always after an auxiliary verb, the verb is added in the infinitive without to. Example: Do you like that album? Did she see the movie? We use do when the subject is I, you, we or they. We use does with third person singular pronouns i.e. when the subject is he, she or it.
