    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
    Some passengers misplaced their luggages before boarding the train.

    A.

    misplaced their luggage

    B.

    No substitution

    C.

    misplaces their luggages

    D.

    misplaced his luggages

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) misplaced their luggage.
    Explanation:
    The word “luggage” is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form like “luggages.” Even when referring to bags of multiple people, the correct form remains “luggage.”
    Grammatical rule used:
    Uncountable nouns do not take a plural ‘s’. Words like luggage, furniture, advice, information are always singular in form.
    Example:
    Incorrect: He carried two luggages.
    Correct: He carried two pieces of luggage.
    Information booster:
    To make uncountable nouns countable, use phrases like "pieces of," "items of," etc.
    E.g., Three pieces of luggage were stolen.
