The prisoner finally ……. that he drank to ……. on the night he committed the murder

  1. acceded/access
  2. conceded/excess ✓
  3. exceeded/extreme
  4. eluded/escape
Explanation

conceded means admitted. The prisoner finally admitted that he drank to excess, meaning too much.

acceded means agreed to, and exceeded means went beyond a limit. Neither fits “finally admitted”. Also, access, extreme and escape do not fit “drank to …”.
