| Remark | For the test sentence ‘Jane feels sorry ____ Mike.’ we need to choose a preposition after the adjective ‘sorry’ that means ‘feeling sadness, sympathy, or disappointment, especially because something unpleasant has happened or been done’.We can use two prepositions after the adjective ‘sorry’: (1) ‘about’ (I’m sorry about the mess in the bedroom.); (2) ‘for’ (I feel sorry for her kids.; I’m sorry for disturbing you.; They were sorry for what they had done.).Therefore, among the test variants we are to choose ANSWER 4 (for). |
