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。
