问题 At the very beginning, Sam Walton believed that he would earn much money even if he sold products at lower prices than his opponents.
Compelled by Wal-Mart to lower the price, Lakewood had to ______ which caused many workers to be unemployed.

选项

答案automate the production process

解析 第3个小标题The Power部分的第4段第4句:Wal-Mart pushed the manufacturer to lower the price, and Lakewood responded by automating the production process,which meant layoffs空白处需要动词或动词短语。原文中的meant其实表示的是一种因果关系,这与题目空白后定语从句中的 caused相同。题目要求填入Lakewood采取的措施,即原文by后面的内容;但因为题目空白处前有had to词组,故需把动名词改为动词原形,答案为automate the production process。
