When asked about their opinions about the schoolmaster, many teachers would prefer to see him step aside ______ young men.

A、 in terms of
B、 in need of
C、 in favor of
D、 in praise of

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】 句中的step aside表示“让位，让开”，后面接介词短语in favor of表示这些老师更赞成起用更年轻的人。句意为“在被问到他们对校长的看法时，很多老师说他们宁愿看到他让贤于更年轻的人”。in terms of“就……而言”，in need of“需要”，in praise of“表扬，称赞”，均不符合句意。
