Take a look at the sentence again:
When Delores realized that her father had made lima beans and rice for dinner,
she __________, claimed to feel nauseous, and excused herself from the table.
The bag of stale popcorn in her room would tide her over until breakfast.
The blank needs to begin with a simple past tense verb. You chose was clutching ..., which uses the past progressive tense and thus causes a parallelism error. Before you continue, review the rules for parallel structure.
