Can not execute options trade

[spawnaga at gmail.com]

The placeOrder command does not send the order for options trades.

I tried to submit the order for stocks and it went through but not options

I am loading trading suggestions from an online excel sheet and submit the order to TWS. I have successfully loaded the information from my google sheet and put the code to order the security but the execution part is not going through. I think my makeOptContract() is the problem that is holding me back from executing my order. Please provide some suggestions
