Correct Answer: travel lightly


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The underlined part "travelling lightly" should be replaced with "travel lightly" to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as the base form of the verb (travel) with "try to" is the correct usage to form the infinitive, and in this context, it is the appropriate verb to convey the idea of moving from one place to another.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I try to travel lightly , packing only the bare essentials.
