  By
Correct Answer
C. By

Explanation
The word "by" is used to indicate the means or method by which an action is performed or the agent responsible for an action. In this context, "by" suggests that someone or something is responsible for the action mentioned in the question. Without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning or usage of "by" in this particular question.

Correct Answer
A. Felt

Explanation
The word "felt" is the correct answer because it is the only verb in the given options. "Went" and "did" are both past tense forms of the verbs "go" and "do" respectively, but they are not applicable in this context. Therefore, "felt" is the most suitable verb to complete the sentence.

B. Went

Explanation
The word "went" is the past tense form of the verb "go." It indicates an action that happened in the past. In the given options, "went" is the only verb that fits this criteria. "Were" is the past tense form of the verb "be," which does not make sense in this context. "Stopped" is the past tense form of the verb "stop," which also does not fit the context. Therefore, "went" is the correct answer.
