答案 B
14.If asked，I ______ his opinion of going abroad for further study.After all，it is a good chance to train himself.
A.declared for B.declared against
C.agreed on D.protected against
解析 考查短语辨析。由下文的After all，it is a good chance to train himself可推知，“我”是赞成他出国留学的，故选择declare for，其意为“宣布赞成”。declare against表态反对，声称反对;protect against“使……免受……”。
答案 A

答案 C
