看答案
apprehensive
本句用 were 加形容詞描述員工的狀態，visibly 修飾 apprehensive。apprehensively 是副詞，不能在此充當狀態補語；apprehension 與 apprehensions 是名詞，代入會把員工說成「憂慮」本身，不符合句意。
同義改寫
Mina felt apprehensive about leading her first team meeting. → Mina felt worried about leading her first team meeting.
此處 apprehensive 與 worried 都表示對尚未進行的首次主持任務感到擔心。
Several employees were apprehensive about the upcoming change in reporting procedures. → Several employees were uneasy about the upcoming change in reporting procedures.
在即將變更流程的情境中，uneasy 同樣表達員工對未來變動的不安。
