6. “I can’t come to your housewarming party tomorrow because I have an important meeting,” Rosie said.
→ Rosie________to come to my housewarming party the following day because she had an important meeting.
Đáp án: B. refused
Giải thích: Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, Rosie đang đưa ra lời từ chối không đến bữa tiệc tân gia nên ta cần điền vào chỗ trống của câu gián tiếp một động từ tường thuật diễn tả lời từ chối. Do đó, phương án B. refused là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “refuse + to-V” (từ chối làm gì).
Dịch nghĩa: “I can’t come to your housewarming party tomorrow because I have an important meeting,” Rosie said. (“Tôi không thể đến bữa tiệc tân gia của bạn vào ngày mai bởi vì tôi có một cuộc họp quan trọng.” Rosie nói.)
→ Rosie refused to come to my housewarming party the following day because she had an important meeting. (Rosie từ chối không đến bữa tiệc tân gia của tôi vào ngày hôm sau bởi vì cô ấy có một cuộc họp quan trọng.)KỸ NĂNG NÓI (SPEAKING SKILLS)
