Hello, teachers!!
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20071127a2.html
Former Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya effectively admitted in an interview to receiving �200,000 in cash from recently arrested defense equipment trader Motonobu Miyazaki in celebration of his 60th birthday about three years ago when he was still in his post.
----->
Former Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya "effectively" admitted
Former Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya "more or less" admitted
May I change the word "effectively" into "more or less"? The same meaning?
Thank you in advance. |

Yes. "Effectively" and "in effect" and "more or less" all would mean about the same thing here.
