Test: Prepositions- 2 - Question 4

From the options given below, select the most appropriate answer to fill in the blank:

Q. Please look ________ your interests.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 2 - Question 4

A preposition is a word that connects a noun/pronoun to a verb/adjective.
A phrasal verb is a verb that forms a phrase with a preposition or an adverb. The meaning of this phrase is different from the literal meanings of the words.
Option A: 'After' is a preposition that means 'about somebody or something'.
Also, it forms a phrasal verb with 'look after', which means: 'to look for, to take care of someone or something'. It relates to the given sentence, 'Please take care of your interests' or 'keep your interests in mind'.
Hence A is correct.
Options B and C: 'Of' refers to belonging and 'under' refers to a 'lower level or rank'. These words are not relevant here.
Option D: 'Out' forms a phrasal verb 'look out' that means 'to keep an eye on something and be careful'. This, too, isn't relevant here.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

*Multiple options can be correct

The sentence talks about the likelihood of Soomro becoming the head of his department. 'About to become' indicates that it has already been decided that he should become the head of department.

The phrases 'for to become' and 'in to become' are grammatically incorrect in the context of the sentence.
