Price is the cost for a product (in this case, the dictionary).
A prize is an award such as the Nobel Prize.

In addition this explanation might be useful too:

It looks like i don't understand this sentence. Isn't the word about the PRICE? They will SELL ,in this case dictionaries, at the special PRISE. They will not give a PRIZE for that. Correct me if I am wrong.

Please accept my apologies, i read the answer wrong.
