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 did clutch ..., which uses the auxiliary verb did and thus causes a parallelism error. Before you continue, review the rules for parallel structure.
