were looking to

- It is a story about Mr. and Mrs. Ansari, who had look to rent an apartment in the city.

- The segment "had look to" is grammatically incorrect.

- Option 1: were looking for

- This implies they were seeking something, but "for" suggests searching for a purpose or benefit, not directly renting.

- Option 2: is looking to

- This is present tense, which doesn't match with "is a story about" in the past context.

- Option 3: No substitution required

- The original is incorrect, so no substitution isn't valid.

- Option 4: were looking to

- This is the correct past continuous form, showing their ongoing action in the past.
