Correct Answer: Bales
Solution : The correct choice is the second option "bales".
"Bales'' means large, compressed and tightly bound packages often used for materials like cotton, hay or straw. It fits perfectly in the sentence.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- ''Bundles'' means packages of items.
- ''Baskets'' means containers usually made of woven material.
- "Bunches'' means groups of items that are loosely gathered, though close in meaning, but the word is incorrect to use instead of ' 'bales" in the sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "He loaded the bales of cotton on the truck".
