问题 Socrates could have fled from Athens after he was sentenced to death, but he refused to do it.

选项 A、Socrates could have fled from Athens after he was sentenced to death, but he refused to do it.
B、After he was sentenced to death, Socrates might have fled from Athens, but he refused to do it.
C、After he was sentenced to death, Socrates could have fled from Athens, but he refused to do so.
D、Refusing to flee from Athens, Socrates could have done so after he was sentenced to death.
E、Socrates could have fled from Athens but refused to after he was sentenced to death.

答案C

解析 根据GMAT公理中用do so代替do it的原则,可排除A、B。D中:refusing短语作伴随状语是不恰当的,这样表达会改变句意。E中会造成误解:refused之前省略了could have(其中的refused to是一个省略结构,to后省略flee from Athens该用法是可以的)而改变句意。A、B、D、E这几个选项除了语法的毛病外,无一例外地都采用顺序颠倒的叙述方式,使人一眼看上去找不出其中的内在逻辑关系。而C根据时间线索进行表述,句意清楚明白。
