Question

【题目】He is a lazy person. He has been for a long time since he was fired last time.

A. worked out B. worked up C. out of work D. worked with

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】句意：他是一个懒惰的人。他自从上次被解雇后，一直失业很长时间。work out计算出，是动词短语；work up逐步建立，动词短语；out of work失业，是介词短语；work with和 ……一起工作，是动词短语。作为be动词的表语，故用介词短语out of work。故选C。
