All_____to him because he is always ready to help.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → look up
A phrasal verb is a verb joined with a small word such as up, out or together. The two words together have a new meaning.
With the "to" already printed after the blank, "look up" makes "look up to him": everyone admires him because he is always ready to help.
Complete sentence: All look up to him because he is always ready to help.
| Phrasal verb | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) look into | to investigate. "Look into to him" is also ungrammatical. | The police will look into the matter. |
| (2) look up (answer) | to respect and admire someone | Young players look up to their coach. |
| (3) look down | Look down on someone means to think someone inferior. It takes "on", not "to", and it does not suit a helpful person. | She never looks down on the poor. |
| (4) look forward | Look forward to means to wait eagerly for something. It is used for events, not for admiring a person. | I look forward to the holidays. |
