连系动词feel可用于被动语态吗

请看题：

“Do you like the material?” “Yes, it _____ very soft.”

A. is feeling                        B. felt

C. feels                              D. is felt

【陷阱】此题容易误选D，想当然地根据“这布料摸起来很柔软”这一句意，认为“布料”应是“被摸”，所以 feel 选用被动语态(from www.nmet168.com)。

【分析】其实，此题正确答案为C，因为 feel 在此为连系动词，而连系动词均为不及物动词，不能用于被动语态，尽管有时其汉语意思有被动意味。请看以下类似例子 (答案均为D)：
