Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: had made a mistake
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
The original sentence contains an error in the tense form. The correct past tense form should be "had made a mistake" to indicate that the mistake occurred before the admission. The past perfect tense "had made" is suitable in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The cashier admitted that he had made a mistake."
