Answer 1

The correct answer is "never admitted"

Key Points

The most appropriate option to replace the underlined word with the adverb of frequency is 'never admitted.'
Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us how often or how frequently something happens are defined as adverbs of frequency.
An adverb of frequency is exactly what it sounds like an adverb of time.
Adverbs of frequency always describe how often something occurs, either in definite or indefinite terms.
An adverb that describes definite frequency is one such as weekly, daily, or yearly.
An adverb describing indefinite frequency doesn’t specify an exact time frame.
They are sometimes, often, and rarely.
- Example: We take a vacation at least once annually.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Correct sentence: He never admitted that his team played badly.Additional Information
