  • Correct Answer
  •  

    Explanation

    Options A, C and E in the absence of a proper subject add the ?bag? automatically to the verb ?racing for the bus?. So, it does not make any sense as it would mean that the bag is racing for the bus. Option B is incorrect because of the fragment ?making the documents lose?. Option D doesn't convey the proper meaning.
