问题 单项选择题

He did not tell his parents because he knew they would try to change his mind but he ______ in a colleague at work.

A. involved
B. joined

C. engrossed
D. confided

答案

参考答案:D

解析: 这个句子是由but连接的表示转折的并列句。前面提到“他怕父母会让他改变主意所以没有告诉他们”,but引导的从句应该与前面表达的意思形成对立,即表示“(把那件事)告诉了他的同事”,所以选confide“吐露(秘密)”。另外,此处作为不及物动词与in搭配,只有confide符合结构要求。engross常用于“engross oneself in...”或“be engrossed in...”,意思为“全神贯注地做……”;involve用于“involve oneself in...”或“be involved in...”,指“参与……”;join是及物动词,应直接带宾语,意为“参加,加入”。
