【答案】the old man said that he would

The old man said that he would ________ more people who would not have too much work to do in the week to come to do the construction work.

A. let

B. promise

C. get

D. make

正确答案：C

答案解析：

这题考查非谓语动词的用法：分析句子成分发现：that引导的宾语从句中宾语是more people who would not have too much work to do in the week to come而to do是宾语补足语，所以选项A和D都不可以，因为这两个词后面接省略to的不定式做宾语补足语，另外根据句意：老人说他会让下个星期没事做的人来做建筑工作。C项符合句意。
