Correct Answer: agreed with


Solution : The second option is the correct choice, "agreed with".

The phrase "agreed with" is the most appropriate choice. It indicates that the speaker shares the same opinion or viewpoint as the person mentioned. It is the correct choice, as it uses the correct form of the verb according to the sentence with the appropriate preposition to refer to the other person.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • " Agreeing with " uses the present participle form, which doesn't match the tense of the sentence.
  • " Admitted to " conveys the idea of confessing something, which doesn't match the intended meaning of agreeing with someone on a point.
  • " Agree to " means giving approval to something, like a proposal or plan. It doesn't convey the same meaning as agreeing with someone's point of view.

The complete sentence is, "I agreed with him on this point."
