单选题 We hoped to be able to get married early this month, but things didn't ______ as we had expected.
A. work out B. come by C. fill up D. lay down

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】work out 意为“带来好结果，有预期的结果”；come by意为“得到，取得”； fill up意为“填补，装满”；lay down意为“放下，放弃”。所填之词的主语是things (事情)，根据空格后面的as we had expected(像我们期望的那样)可知，应该选用work out。
