Answer (1)

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."
