Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

  • "Felt very proud" is the right phrase to use. Here, we will use the past tense of the verb "feel" to maintain the tense consistency.
  • The first option is not appropriate since it changes the tense of the sentence, the past tense should be used as per parallelism.
  • The second option uses the noun "pride" and we need an adjective to describe their feeling, not a noun. 

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "They felt very proud that their team had won the match."
