B. decide
C. guarantee
D. promise
【正确答案】

【答案解析】[相关考点] agree ①(对计划、提议等)表示同意(to)：(对意见等)表示赞同(with)：Do you～to this arrangement?你同意这个安排吗?/I'll never～to having you for my heir．我决不同意你做我的继承人。②持相同意见，持一致看法：I～with you．我的意见和你相同。/I'm～ing with you now，but I may change my mind later．此刻我与你持相同的意见，不过以后也许会改变看法的。

A. except that
B. in case
C. in order that
D. on condition that
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 从上下文及常理上看，爸爸和姨妈之所以让“我”发誓不告诉妈妈，应该是怕妈妈会担心，空白处可理解为“以免”。选项on condition that意为“以……为条件，倘若”；except that“除了”；in case“万一，以防万一”；in order that意为“目的是，以便于”。符合语意的选项只有in case，故选B。
