The old entrepreneur didn't （）any of his employees during that serious recession, which won him high respect in local communities.
A. lay on
B. lay out
C. lay off
D. lay away
题目解答
答案
C. lay off
解析
此题考查动词短语的辨析。lay on意为“提供，供应”；lay out意为“布置，安排”；lay off意为“解雇”；lay away意为“储存，储蓄”。根据句意，企业家在经济衰退期间没有解雇任何员工，因此正确答案是lay off。
