A coolie ________ a heavy bundle across a railway platform.
Select the correct alternative to complete the sentence meaningfully.

The correct answer is Option B (lugs).

Key Points:
• Precision in verbal selection: Collocations describing carrying or hauling heavy, cumbersome loads with effort.
• 'To lug' means to carry or haul a heavy or cumbersome object with considerable effort and difficulty.
• It is the most precise and idiomatic verb for someone carrying/transporting a heavy bundle across a platform.
• (1) 'Pulls' is too generic and doesn't capture cumbersome heavy carrying.
• (3) 'Drags' implies pulling along the ground surface, which damages a bundle.
• (4) 'Jerks' means moving with sudden sharp movements.
• Key Takeaway: 'Lug' specifically means to carry or transport a heavy, cumbersome load with effort.
