Answer 2

A) package

The sentence should be: "The Smiths prefer package holidays, because it saves them the trouble of making all the arrangements themselves."

Here's the reasoning:

• "Package holidays" refer to pre-arranged vacations where the travel agency or tour operator bundles together various components like accommodation, transportation, and sometimes meals or guided tours, all at a fixed price. This type of holiday saves travelers from having to plan and book each element of their vacation individually.

• "Packing holidays" doesn't make sense in this context. "Packing" refers to the activity of putting items into a suitcase or bag for a trip, but it doesn't address the issue of making arrangements.

• "Pack holidays" is also not suitable. "Pack" is a verb, and "pack holidays" would imply that the Smiths are involved in some kind of holiday-related packing activity, which doesn't relate to the sentence's intended meaning.
