Correct Answer: lying


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation :

The correct verb form to be used here is the present participle form, which is lying . Thus, to lie should be replaced with lying i.e. gerund form of the verb, to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I found my bag lying where I had left it.
