With the exception of land prices, the costs of goods and services in Japan are not essentially different, relative to income, from the same costs in other developed nations. A good dinner and a night in a hotel, a new stereo-sound system, or tuition in a private school will cost a Japanese family the same proportion of gross income as it would an American family.

(question)

If you restate "relative to" in the passage avove, which choice(s) would be correct?

1) with reference to
2) in comparison to
3) both of the above
4) none of the above (give me a good choice)
