Correct Answer: felt


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:

In this sentence, the verb tense needs to be in the past to match the past action of smiling. Felt is the past tense of the verb feel , and it correctly conveys the idea that the speaker smiled at their son and experienced a feeling of thankfulness at that moment.

So, the correct sentence would be: I smiled at my son and felt thankful.
