Good Work!

Question:
She accepted responsibility for the accident, and she felt *** about the whole incident for weeks afterward.
Answer:
The answer bad is correct.
Explanation:
The adjective "bad" is correct because it is modifying the pronoun "she," not the verb "felt." "Felt" is a linking verb here, and "bad" is its subject complement. Remember that subject complements are always nouns or adjectives, never adverbs.
