Question

—Tom, why didn’t you go to work today?
—Oh, the manager said he no longer wanted to see me again; _____, I was fired.

A．above all

B．after all

C．in other words

D．in some way

Answer 1

C

解析试题分析：此处above all首先； after all毕竟； in other words 换句话说； in some way在某种程度上。句意：— Tom你为什么今天不上班呢？—噢，经理说他不想再看到我了。换句话说，我被解雇了。根据句意选C。
考点：考查介词短语的含义。
