Admirably tells you how something was done: in a way that makes people respect it. The person or the work showed those good qualities — calm, skill, fairness, courage — while doing the thing. “She coped admirably” means she handled a hard situation so well that you look up to how she did it, not only to what she is. It is the adverb beside , and it is a little formal. You put it with a verb: behaved admirably, performed admirably, managed admirably. It does not mean “I like this a lot”; it means “this was done in a way worth respect.”
