英语中拒绝的词区别refuse,deny
i was ( ) the chance of going to university when my parents'business collapsed and they lost everything they owned.
A.refused B.denied
选哪个啊,搞不懂了,都好像没错

答案

a
deny虽然也有拒绝的意思,但是也有否认的意思呀,这点和句中意思不符合.用法是deny doing sth./deny sth./deny that...
refuse却只有拒绝和谢绝的意思.用法和deny相同.
另,refuse和object虽然都有拒绝的意思,可是object更强调的是反对.多用于正式场合,法律上或是政治上等.用法是object to.../object that...
