答えを見る
正解: B) satisfied
The subject is 'customers' (people), and since they're on the receiving end of the emotion, the past participle 'satisfied' is correct. 'Be satisfied with' is a set expression meaning 'to be pleased with'. 'Satisfying' is an active form meaning 'causing satisfaction' and is used for things or situations, not people. 'Satisfy' is a verb and 'satisfaction' is a noun. The rule of thumb for emotion verbs: people take -ed, things take -ing.
