(3) felt very proud
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
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."
