I had to ____ Jack's invitation to the party because it conflicted with an important business meeting.
A、decline
B、reject
C、deny
D、accept
答案是A。为什么不能选B、C呢?reject和deny不都有拒绝的意思吗?
decline:婉拒
I had to decline Jack's invitation to the party because it conflicted with an important business meeting.
我必须婉拒杰克的宴会邀请,因为那时间和一个生意上的重要会议冲突。
deny和reject确实都有“拒绝"之意,但语气直接,不含蓄,而人家是邀请,出于礼貌,自然要委婉拒绝了,故选A.

虽然都有拒绝的意思,但是A decline有委婉拒绝的意思,而B reject有几分强烈抵触的意味,C的话则有否认的意思,拒绝承认某事合法性的意思。所以应该选A。本回答被提问者采纳

ddecline有婉拒,婉言谢绝的意思,reject有拒绝或丢弃的含义,deny是否认、背弃,语气和含义上来说A最合适
