Directions: Which of the phrases A, B, C and D given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and ‘No correction is required’, Mark E as the answer.
He has visited many places all over the city looked at the perfect location to set up his factory.
looking out
Incorrect Answerlooking for
Correct Answerlooking after
Incorrect Answerlooked forward to
Incorrect AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The sentence implies that the person (subject) is in search of a location for his factory setup. Therefore, the only participle that goes well with the context of the sentence is 'looking for'.
Look out (Phrasal Verb): be vigilant and take notice.
Look after (Phrasal Verb): take care of
Look forward to (Phrasal Verb): await eagerly
Look for (Phrasal Verb): to hope to get something that you want or need
Clearly, 'looking for' replaces the bold part most appropriately.
Hence, option B is correct.
