(单选题)

The work men made so much ______ that Mrs. Walker had to spend three days cleaning up afterwards.

A.trouble

B.damage

C.mess

D.nuisance

参考答案：C

参考解析：

考查名词词义辨析。句意：工人们弄得一团糟，沃克太太不得不花三天时间打扫卫生。trouble意为“麻烦”；damage意为“损害”；mess意为“混乱，杂乱”；nuisance意为“麻烦事，妨害行为”。make trouble意为“造成麻烦（或骚乱）”；make mess意为“弄得乱七八糟”。根据后半句中的cleaning up可知，工人们弄得乱七八糟。故选C。
