I was sorry that I had to leave the party early because I (didn’t enjoy myself / wasn’t enjoying myself)

>> BUT would make all the difference.
For some reason, I'm suspecting those who made up that test meant something along the lines of:
(1) Мне неловко, что я ушёл с вечеринки.
(2) Но ушёл я, ПОТОМУ ЧТО мне не было весело.
They probably just put it too literally. Павел, а Вы что думаете?
