Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (C) only
(A) The children are looking forward to the school trip to Jaipur. — Correct.
- “Look forward to” means to wait happily for something that will happen.
- The phrase always ends with “to”.
(B) The latecomers entered into the examination hall after the bell. — Incorrect.
- The verb “enter” already means “go into”, so no “into” comes before a place like a hall or a room.
- Correct form: The latecomers entered the examination hall after the bell.
(C) Both sides of the road to the temple were lined with flower stalls. — Correct.
- “Lined with” means having rows of something along the sides.
- The word “lined” in this sense takes “with”.
(D) Little Aarav resembles to his grandfather in looks. — Incorrect.
- The verb “resemble” means to look like someone, and it takes no preposition before the person.
- Correct form: Little Aarav resembles his grandfather in looks.
