Question

【题目】Not only ___________to apologize to his opponent, but also he made an aggressive gesture, which made him blamed by the media.

A. the swimmer refused B. did the swimmer refuse

C. the swimmer had refused D. had the swimmer refused

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查倒装。句意：那位游泳运动员不仅拒绝向对手道歉，而且还做出挑衅的手势，这使他受到了媒体的指责。not only… but also…连接两个分句，当Not only位于句首时，前面的分句要进行部分倒装，即把助动词置于主语之前。根据句意及后面的＂made an aggressive gesture＂可知，此处应用一般过去时。故选B项。
