Answer options

  1. misplaced their luggage
  2. No substitution
  3. misplaces their luggages
  4. misplaced his luggages

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: misplaced their luggage

Explanation: The correct answer is A.✅ The word "luggage" is an uncountable noun, so it does not have a plural form like "luggages". Therefore, using "luggage" is grammatically correct. Correct sentence: ✅Some passengers misplaced their luggage before boarding the train. ❌"Luggages" is incorrect usage. ❌"Misplaces" is present tense and does not agree with the plural subject "passengers". ❌"His luggages" is incorrect due to both incorrect pronoun reference and the wrong plural form.
