Correct Answer: hue and cry


Solution : The first option is correct.

Hue and cry mean loud and persistent public clamour, often expressing strong disapproval or protest. In this context, it suggests that she raised a loud outcry or protest upon discovering her missing luggage.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Spick and span means neat, clean, and in perfect order.

  • Hand and foot means to provide someone with constant assistance or to be at someone's service.

  • Whip and spur is an idiom that means to proceed or move rapidly.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: She raised a hue and cry when she saw her luggage missing.
