He was often late for work , and that finally his job. A cost B spent C took D lost本题选A

lost的话主语是人比较多物比较少，而cost主语要是物，sth costs sb some money\time

C took
sth take one's job 某物使某人失去了工作

哦哦,刚刚看错题目了,是that的话,就要用cost了.
cost有一个用法,是：“以……为代价”
比如,the accident cost his life,这场事故让他付出了生命的代价.
所以这里说cost his job,意思就是说,让他付出了丢掉工作的代价.
that指代他常常迟到的事实.

d lost
He was often late for work , and that finally (lost) his job.
他上班经常迟到，所以最终失去了工作。
a的话，
cost one's job，
