问题 Tom had been invited to the evening party but ______ on the grounds that he was too busy.

选项 A、declined
B、refused
C、rejected
D、denied

答案A

解析 汤姆受到了去晚会的邀请,但他以太忙为由拒绝了。A.declined“婉言拒绝,谢绝”,相当于refuse politely,主要用于拒绝有关社交活动的邀请或要求帮助的请求,后接名词或动词不定式,主语只能是人,例如:I invited her to join us,but shedeclined.我邀请她和我们在一起,可是她婉言谢绝了。B.refused是比较普通的用词,表示“拒绝”,含有非常坚决地、不客气地拒绝的意思,例如:Herefused to change his mind.他拒绝改变主意。C.rejected表示拒绝与某人有任何来往,或与某事有任何纠葛,强调一种否定或敌对的态度,暗示断然拒绝接受、使用、相信某事某物,例如:The board rejected all our ideas.董事会拒绝审议我们的所有意见。D.denied“否认,否定”,其后可接名词,代词或that从句,例如:The defendant denied theaccusations made against him in court.被告在法庭上否认了对他的指控。注:but连接并列句,前半句讲到汤姆受邀参加晚会,但后半句表明他太忙去不了,出于礼貌,这里应填入“婉言拒绝,谢绝”之义的动词,所以选A。
