The correct answer is Option 2.
Key Points
  • The sentence requires a noun in the plural form to correctly convey that several committee members expressed regret for their absence.
  • The word "apologies" is a plural noun that fits this context.
  • The other options do not fit grammatically: "apologise" is a verb, "apologised" is the past tense of the verb, and "apology" is a singular noun.
  • Thus, the correct word to fill in the blank is apologies.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
 
Correct Sentence: "Some of the committee members sent their apologies as they could not be present at the meeting."
 
Additional Information
  • Apologise is the verb form and does not fit the blank requiring a noun.
  • Apologised is the past tense verb form and does not fit the blank requiring a noun.
  • Apology is a singular noun; however, since "some" indicates more than one member, "apologies" is the appropriate term.
