Grammar: Phrasal Verb

Question:

Select the Phrasal Verb that best expresses the meaning "in search of":-

Options:

Look out

Look out for

Look after

Look upto

Correct Answer:

Look out for

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Look out for

  1. Look out: This phrasal verb means to be cautious or vigilant, usually to avoid danger or harm. For example, "Look out! There's a car coming!" It doesn't directly convey the meaning of searching for something or someone.

  2. Look out for: This phrasal verb means to actively search for something or someone, to be on the lookout for them. For example, "I'll look out for your package when it arrives." This option best fits the meaning "in search of."

  3. Look after: This phrasal verb means to take care of or to be responsible for someone or something. For example, "She looks after her younger brother." It doesn't directly convey the meaning of searching.

  4. Look up to: This phrasal verb means to admire or respect someone. For example, "He looks up to his older brother." It doesn't convey the idea of actively searching for something or someone.
