Option 1: acknowledged, and
Option 2: admitted, but
Option 3: commended, even though
Option 4: recommended, because
Correct Answer: recommended, because
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The words "recommend" and "because" indicate that the person was recommended for the post, and the reason for this recommendation is his high level of activity. "Because" establishes a logical connection between the recommendation and the person's activity.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Acknowledged: Accepted or recognised the fact or existence of something.
Admitted: Confessed to be true or to be the case; accepted.
Commended: Praised formally or officially.
