(A) resolved.. detrimental
(B) refused.. apropos
(C) declined.. inopportune
(D) struggled.. unconscionable
(E) hesitated.. warranted

Answer 1

答案：C.

decline to do sth = refuse to do sth 拒绝做某事
inopportune 不合时宜的

其他答案句意不通，甚至前后矛盾。
A resolve to do sth 决定做某事；detrimental 有害的/不利的
B refuse to do sth 拒绝做某事；apropos 恰当的
D struggle to do sth 努力地/挣扎着做某事； unconscionable 昧着良心的/不合理的/过分的
E hesitate to do sth 做某事犹豫不决；warranted 担保的/保证的
