Select the most appropriate option for the given blank.
You must ___________ your defeat now, as you are left with no soldiers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. admit
Admit is a suitable option.
"Admit" refers to confessing or acknowledging something after some hesitation or opposition. In this instance, it refers to accepting the situation as it is—a defeat given the available conditions.
Compared to other options:
"Defer": It means postponing or delaying; this is not appropriate in the context of acknowledging defeat.
"Get": The word "get" has the meaning "to obtain or understand," which is inappropriate here.
"Buy": This refers to the act of buying something, which has nothing to do on accepting defeat.
