Question

—Do you know why Michael resigned from the board?

—He held out for higher wages, but was ________ in the end.

A．put down B．broke down

C．cut down D．turned down

 

Answer 1

D

【解析】D 考察动词。句义：—你转达米歇尔为什么会从董事会辞职吗？—他要求得到更高的工资，但是最后被拒绝了。根据句义可知turn down拒绝，put down放下，镇压；break down抛锚，出故障；cut down砍到，削减。
