버리다 means to throw away.
잃다 and 잃어버리다 both mean to lose, but 잃다 is a lot less common and can only be used with abstract things, like memories or relationships. If you lose an object you have to use 잃어버리다.

What if you lost a person? E. g. they've passed away or you were in a relationship and you two broke up?

Am I still not understanding the difference between 는/은 and 가/이, or was my answer (남자가) actually also correct but not accepted?

Two examoles in this lesson are inconsistent: The girl lost.... But A man lost.... Since 가 and 는 dont have direct translation into the/a i think both versions should be accwpted. Pls correct me if i got it wrong.
