Nowadays, on April Fools’ Day, people often 19 to create elaborate hoaxes to fool others.
答案：(B) go to great lengths
go to great lengths to V 是「不遺餘力、費盡心思去做某事」，本句指人們常費盡心思設計精巧的愚人節惡作劇；come to an end（結束）、put in service（投入使用）、hold in store（並非正確說法，應為 have in store）都不合。
答對率 32%。
length 你大概只記得「長度」，看到 go to great lengths 完全無從理解。這個片語的意象很直觀：為了達成某件事願意「走上很長一段路」，引申為「大費周章、不遺餘力」，正好對應本句的 elaborate hoaxes（精心設計的惡作劇）。
Nowadays, on April Fools' Day, people often ___ to create elaborate hoaxes to fool others.——惡作劇既然如此費工，前面需要的正是「費盡心思」；下一句提到連報社、電台、電視台都參一腳，規模不小。
come to an end（結束）主詞該是事件；put in service（使投入使用）用於設備；hold in store 不是正確說法，正確的是 have／be in store for sb（某事正等著某人）。
go to great lengths to V（大費周章、不遺餘力）、at length（詳盡地／終於）、play a joke on sb（對某人惡作劇）。
