Grammar (Participles)
He admired ___ the musical show at the party since it was not that appealing on television.
Explanation and memory cue
The verb 'admire' is typically followed by a noun or a gerund phrase to indicate what is being admired. In the sentence, 'He admired having seen the musical show...' the gerund phrase 'having seen' correctly functions as the object of 'admired.' Using the infinitive 'to see' or the passive form 'being seen' is not grammatically appropriate here. Therefore, option A is correct.
