Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The unpleasant feeling (passes) and she glanced guardedly up at him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., passed.

As the sentence here is joined with conjunction, the nature/tense of the sentence should be the same on both sides. Therefore, “passes” should be replaced with “passed”. 

The correct sentence will be-

The unpleasant feeling passed and she glanced guardedly up at him.
