Correct Answer: kept our luggage


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The original sentence uses the present tense "are keeping", but in this context, past tense is more appropriate because the action of keeping the luggage in the cloakroom occurred after the arrival at Jhansi station. Additionally, "luggage" is the correct term (singular form), and "cloakroom" is a more common term than "cloak room".

Therefore, "kept" is the correct past tense verb to use.
