On February 14th many people in the world celebrate an unusual holiday, St. Valentine’s day, a special day for lovers. Valentines are cards, usually red and shaped like hearts, with messages of love written on them. Lovers send these cards to each other on that day, often without signing their names.
The origin of this holiday is uncertain but according to one story it gets its name from a Christian named Valentine who lived in Rome during the 3rd century A.D.. His job was to perform marriages for Christian couples. Unfortunately the emperor of Rome didn’t allow Christian marriages. So they had to be performed in secret. Finally Valentine was arrested and put into prison. While he was in prison he fell in love with the daughter of the prison guard. After one year the Emperor offered to release Valentine if he would stop performing Christian marriages. Valentine refused and so he was killed on February, 270 A.D.. Before he was killed Valentine sent a love letter to the daughter of the prison guard. He signed the letter "from your valentine". That was the first Valentine.
Today tens of millions of people send and receive valentines on St. Valentine’s Day. Whether it is an expensive heart-shaped box of chocolates from a secret admirer or a simple hand-made card from a child, a valentine is a very special message of love. [br] Why was Valentine killed?
选项

第二段给出了答案。“After one year the Emperor offered to release Valentine if he would stop performing Christian marriages. Valentine refused and so he was killed on February, 270 A. D...”如果瓦伦丁停止给基督教友举行婚礼,皇帝就可以释放他。但瓦伦丁断然拒绝。这就是他被杀的原因。所以答案是C。
