Ann: "I've lost my glasses"
TOm: " ......................"

A What a nuisance
B What a sorry
B What a lot
D What a deer.

I chose B but the answer is A. I think it would be correct if Ann said: "I'
ve lost my key- What a nuisance!"

What is the difference between losing your glasses and losing your keys? Losing either one is a nuisance. "What a sorry" is wrong because "sorry" is an adjective with nothing to modify.

Please give your threads more helpful titles; 'Conversation' tells us nothing. 'Is "What a sorry" correct?' would give us an idea of what to expect.
