Hướng dẫn giải chi tiết
(AI giải đề cho tôi)
Câu gốc: “I haven’t been very open-minded,” said the manager. Đây là lời thừa nhận (admit) một điều tiêu cực về bản thân trong quá khứ. Cấu trúc: admit + V-ing / having + P2 → “The manager admitted not having been very open-minded.” (B). A sai vì “promised to be” diễn tả lời hứa tương lai, không phải thừa nhận quá khứ. C sai vì “denied having been very open-minded” nghĩa là phủ nhận việc từng cởi mở — ngược nghĩa. D sai vì “refused to have been” không đúng cấu trúc và nghĩa. Đáp án khớp với bảng đáp án nguồn (câu 14 = B).
