Giải bởi Vietjack
Đáp án: A. apologized for
Giải thích: Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, Mark đang muốn xin lỗi vì đã bắt người nghe phải đợi nên ta cần điền vào chỗ trống của câu gián tiếp một động từ tường thuật diễn tả lời xin lỗi. Do đó, phương án A. apologized for là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “apologize (+ to somebody) + for + V-ing” (xin lỗi ai vì đã làm gì).
Dịch nghĩa: I’m so sorry to keep you waiting last night,” Mark told me. (“Tôi xin lỗi vì đêm qua đã để bạn phải đợi.” Mark nói với tôi.)
→ Mark apologized for keeping me waiting the night before. (Mark xin lỗi vì đêm hôm trước đã để tôi phải đợi.)KỸ NĂNG NÓI (SPEAKING SKILLS)
