No substitution

loss the heart

lost heart

lose his heart

- Original Sentence: He lost his heart because he could not cope with the difficult situation.

- Option 1, No substitution:

- This would imply the original sentence is correct. However, "lost his heart" is not a common phrasing for losing hope or courage.

- Option 2, loss the heart:

- This is grammatically incorrect as "loss" is a noun, not a verb. It doesn't fit in the context.

- Option 3, lost heart:

- This is the correct phrase. "Lost heart" means losing courage or hope, which fits the context perfectly.

- Option 4, lose his heart:

- "Lose his heart" suggests an action in the future or hypothetical, which doesn't suit the past tense context of the sentence.
