【解析】

【1】An 考察冠词。文意是一位老的建筑者准备退休了，elderly 是以元音字母开头的，所以用冠词an。

【2】employer 考察名词。文意是他告诉他的雇佣者他将离开建造的房子，和他的妻子过舒适的日子。

【3】to leave 考察不定式。Plan to do something是固定搭配，表示“计划做某事”。

【4】but 考察转折连词。文意是他可能会错过现金支付，但他还是想退休，前后是转折关系，所以应用but。

【5】was 考察时态。文意是老板看到自己的员工要走，感到很惋惜。文中时态是过去式，前后时态要保持一致，所以要用过去式。

【11】to 考察不定式。文意是把钥匙教导建造者的手中。

【12】shocked 考察被动语态。文意是我震惊了。

【13】What 考察引导词。What a shame!中what引导的感叹句，表示“多么羞愧啊”。
