Question : Select the appropriate option to replace the underlined word with the adverb of frequency.
He did not admit that his team played badly.
Option 1: never admitted
Option 2: yesterday admitted
Option 3: happily admitted
Option 4: willingly admitted
Correct Answer: never admitted
Solution : The right choice is the first option .
The original sentence indicates a lack of admission or acknowledgement by someone regarding their team's performance.
Replacing did not admit with never admitted changes the meaning by using the adverb of frequency "never".
Never signifies a total absence of the action of admitting, emphasising the consistent denial or lack of acknowledgement by "he" regarding his team's poor play.
So, the sentence would be: "He never admitted that his team played badly."
