A Correct answer
Explanation

Misplace means means to put in wrong place or lose and displace means to move from usual place. Second part of sentence is clearly indicating that the female misplaces or loses her keys, so spare keys are required. Brought up means reared/raised and brought forth means to produce. Brought up is the correct option....Satnam was raised by his uncle. Carry on meaning to continue is the correct option. Carry out means to accomplish and is out of context. Team means group of people... is the correct option. Teem means to roll out.
