weproDear EForums.com,
Today , I have 2 problems that Ican't solve them myself, so I really need your help .
1, The following day she felt __ well to go to work.
a.suffice b.sufficiently
b.sufficiency d. sufficient
which answer is correct ?

I think " feel + adj or noun" , like feel a pain or feel happy so I chose "b" but my teacher said it wasn't correct. !?
Regardless of whether you take "well" as an adverb or an adjective, it requires the adverb "sufficiently" to modify it. "Well" is certainly not a noun! "Pain" would be an example of a noun. "I don't feel sufficient pain to stay home from work." In this case you'd choose the adjective "sufficient" to modify the noun, "pain."

2, I find it quite __ to talk in front of a group of people.
a.embarrassing b.embarrassed
c.embarrassment d. embarrassingly

find it + adj -> answer is a or b .
"-ed " adj(s) express the emotion like bored.
"-ing" adj(s) express the substance like boring.
so -> I find it quite embrassed to ....

But the answer is A. What wrong with my argument ? Can you explain it for me?
Both the present and past participles work as adjective complements. What you have wrong is your examples of substances (barbequed beef) and emotions (overwhelming guilt). The thing that makes this one hard is you can't find a single noun for the adjective to modify. There's "it," which doesn't tell you much, and there's the whole dang infinitive phrase (acts as a noun) "to talk in front of a group of people," which is the thing which produces the emotion. (The "it" stands for the infinitive phrase.)

Thank you.
