Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. felt.

  • In the given context, if "felt" is the correct option to fill in blank 3, it suggests that Shiela had a sensation or perception of something stuck to her shoe, rather than actively discovering or encountering it.
  • While "felt" could convey a sense of awareness or perception of the object, it might not fully capture the action of physically encountering or discovering it, as indicated in the sentence.
  • However, interpretations can vary based on context and intention, so if "felt" is the correct answer provided in the passage, it implies that Shiela had a sensation of something stuck to her shoe while walking to the park.
