Correct Answer: feel many sorry but I was wrong.


Solution : The second option is correct.

Explanation : Many is used for countable nouns, while much is used for uncountable nouns. In this context, sorry is better described as uncountable, so it should be paired with much . Alternatively, saying very sorry is a more natural and idiomatic way to express deep regret or remorse.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The last time he repeated the same mistake, I thought he would feel very sorry , but I was wrong."
