(a) He said, "My God ! I ain ruined.
(b) This admits no excuse.
(c) He asked me if I would accompany him.
(d) None of these.
Answer: B
The incorrect sentence is This admits no excuse.
In the sense 'allow' or 'leave room for', admit is followed by of: This admits of no excuse. Without 'of', admit means 'let in' or 'confess', which does not fit.
The sentence in (a) is the direct speech He said, "My God! I am ruined."; the booklet prints 'ain' for 'am' and drops the closing quotation mark, but the sentence it intends is correct. Sentence (c) correctly uses 'would' after the past tense 'asked'. Since (b) is wrong, 'None of these' is also wrong.
