Question

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
_____! There is a scorpion under the bench!

• A. Look out
• B. Look over
• C. Look after
• D. Look for

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Look out

The exclamation marks in the given sentence indicate that it conveys either a command or an emotional outburst by the speaker. The second sentence explains a potential danger i.e "There is a scorpion under the bench!". Hence, the first sentence is most likely, a warning about the danger.

Option A: The phrasal verb, "Look out!" with an exclamation mark is said or shouted in order to tell someone they are in danger. Hence, option A is most appropriate.

Option B: The phrasal verb "Look over" means "to quickly examine".

Option C: The phrasal verb "Look after" means "to take care of".

Option D: The phrasal verb "Look for" means "to search for".

In the given sentences, the speaker is not asking the listener to examine/take care of/ search for anything. He is shouting out a warning. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.
