Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. never admitted.
- In the original sentence, the verb "did not admit" indicates a negation or absence of admission.
- By using the adverb of frequency "never," we convey the meaning that there was no instance in which he admitted that his team played badly.
- This choice aligns with the intended meaning and maintains grammatical correctness in the sentence.
Thus, the required sentence would be:
He never admitted that his team played badly.
