Hide Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (B):
admit of any excuse

The correct answer is "admit of any excuse." The phrase "admit of" is a phrasal verb that means "to allow of; to provide space for; to make possible." In the context of the sentence, it means that the speaker is saying that the person's behavior doesn't allow for any justification or explanation.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

"Accept any excuse" would change the meaning to imply the conduct is being considered, but is not valid.

"Admit in any excuse" is grammatically incorrect. The correct preposition to use with "admit" in this context is "of", not "in".

"Admit excuse" is incomplete and grammatically incorrect. It needs the preposition "of" and the word "any" to complete the phrase and convey the intended meaning.
