Read the following extracts were taken from a article from St. Louis Today. The lady in accounting at Schunuck's headquarters in Maryland Heights quictly pocketed small sums that, over three years, added up to more than $111,000, authorities said. A felony theft charge was field earlier this month. While the alleged theft was brazen-most bank robbers could only hope for such a haul - the case was merely the latest in a series of embezzment across the St. Louis Region. As prosecutors prepared to file charges in the Schunucks case, St. Louis County governement officials were untangling how a manager in the health department allegedly pilfered $ 3,4 million in public funds over six years. That same day, a former town supervisor in tiny Moro in Madison County pleaded guilty to writing small checks to himself for "office expenses" that totaled more than $750.000 over a decade. Also, a former Edwardswille police chief was sentenced for stealing $ 138,000 Worth of vehicle impound fees over a three-year-span. Other high-profile cases have emerged in the last month, too, such as two St. Louis parks workers admitting last month they used shan invoices to steal more than $ 460, 000 over eight years. The former town supervisor in tiny México in Madison County pleaded guilty to writing small checks to himself for "office expenses" that totalled more than $750,000 over a decade. It means that.

A resposta é a letra B - He acknowledged doing that

Ou seja, o ex-supervisor se declarou culpado por encaminhar cheques a ele mesmo durante uma década, logo a resposta, ele reconheceu fazendo isso.


claudiaprevi: Eu acredito que seja a resposta correta. Porque o sentido da frase conforme sua resposta diz que a pessoa: confessou, mas no sentido de admitir o crime, e, não, no sentido de reconhecer.
claudiaprevi: A minha dúvida foi na construção da frase desta alternativa. Geralmente, quando eu leio frases com o verbo "acknowledged" já vem em seguida um pronome e, uma conjunção (tipo "that" com sentido determinado, conforme a alternativa que escolheu).
claudiaprevi: No dicionário, encontra-se que este verbo é usado para frases onde houve reconhecimento, admissão e, também, confessar sobre um assunto.
claudiaprevi: E, acredito que seja um verbo ativo + gerúndio com sentido de admitir e, não reconhecer.
