A:wanted
B:promised
C:decided
D:agreed

参考答案:C

本题考查的是对动词短语的认知。这句话的意思是:约翰打定主意不出席会议。made up one's mind中made是make的过去式,make up one's mind意思是“打定主意”, 例如:She made up her mind that she would win.她决心争取胜利。各选项均为动词不定式。选项A wanted是want的动词过去式,意思是“想要”。选项B promised是promise的动词过去式,意思是“许诺”。选项C decided是decide的动词过去式,意思是“决定”,例如:Let's put our heads together and decide on a plan of action.让我们集思广益,决定一项行动计划。选项D agreed是agree的动词过去式,意思是“同意”。make up one's mind和decide意思最接近,所以选C。
