Question

【題目】Although the students complained sometimes, they found their efforts in the preparation for the play ________.

A.laid offB.switched offC.paid offD.gave off

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

考查動詞短語辨析。句意：盡管學生們有時候會抱怨，他們發現他們為這場話劇表演的準備所付出的努力得到了回報。根據Although引導的讓步狀語從句，complain與pay off是轉折關系，盡管學生抱怨，大聲努力得到了回報。可知此處選項C. paid off（回報，付清）正確。故選C。
