Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘admit’ means to confess something to be true or to be the case or allow someone to enter a place.

Complete answer:
 Synonyms are those word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase. Here you need to find the synonym for the word ‘admits’.
First, let us first look into the meaning and the usage of the word – admits. The word ‘admit’ means to confess something to be true or to be the case or allow someone to enter a place.
So, now that we understand the concept behind the word ‘admit’ let us look into the given options to find the synonym for it.
So the options given to us are –
Confesses: it means to admit that one has committed a crime or has done something wrong or declare something to someone.
Gives off: it means to emit or produce something or to send it out as a branch of something.
Forces in: it means to make a way through something or someone.
Let’s in: it means to let someone inside or allow someone to enter a place or admit them in.
Enters: it means to come or go into someplace.
So, as per the above explanation, we can see that the best-suited solution is option (d), i.e. lets in.

Note:
 All the options seem to have an almost similar meaning. But there is a difference between confessing and admitting and entering and admitting.
