Concept:To
eat one's words means to admit that what one said earlier was wrong, usually in an embarrassing way.
Solution:Asua must have boasted earlier that Asante Kotoko would win.
When Kotoko lost to Tano Bofoakwa FC, his statement was proved wrong, so he had to take it back.
That is, Asua
admitted that he was wrong.
B. "denied everything he had said" is the opposite: eating your words means accepting you were wrong, not denying you said them.
C. "became very ashamed" may be how he felt, but it is not the meaning of the idiom.
D. "lost his appetite" takes the word "eat" literally.
Key point: Idioms are not read word for word; choose the option that gives their meaning.
Answer:Option A (admitted that he was wrong)
