单选题
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, ______ to discuss the
implication of that conclusion.
A. receded
B. implied
C. complied
D. declined
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说拒绝讨论那个结论的含意。D项“declined拒绝，衰落”符合题意，如：I declined their offer of help.(我谢绝了他们提出的帮助)。其他三项“receded后退”，“implied暗示，意味”，“complied顺从，答应，遵守”都不正确。
