-
Lose
Correct Answer
A. LooseExplanation
The word "loose" is the correct answer because it describes the condition of the laces in her shoes. If the laces were too loose, it means they were not tightly tied or secured, which could cause her shoes to slip off or become untied easily. On the other hand, "lose" is a verb that means to misplace or fail to win, and it does not make sense in the context of describing the laces in her shoes.Rate this question:
