Avoid 2, 3, 4 and 6.  The others look ok.

4 in particular is completely wrong. Nobody gets 'deeply impressed' about anything.

Hi Taka,
I assume that you realize that 'impressed' and 'moved' do not have the same meaning.

“... that 'impressed' and 'moved' do not have the same meaning.”
 

Well, right now I'm rather interested in whether those constructions are possible or not.
