题型：不详难度：来源：

He ______ his sister to give up the plan for cycling along the Mekong River, but failed.

A．persuaded

B．tried to persuade

C．advised

D．Both B and C

答案

D

解析

试题分析：原句意思是，他劝他的姐姐放弃骑自行车沿湄公河旅行的计划，但是失败了。根据“but failed”可知，劝说失败了，persuade sb. to do sth. 指说服某人做某事，与下文矛盾，故排除A，try to persuade sb. to do sth. =" advise" sb. to do sth.所以选D。
