Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
I look forward __________ you soon.

• A. of visiting
• B. to visiting
• C. to visit
• D. will visit

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

to visiting

Options B and C:

The phrase 'look forward to' is a set phrase and means 'to be pleased or excited about something that will happen'.

The word 'to' is a preposition so it must be followed by a noun phrase or a verb form ending in -ing.

Hence, from options B and C, 'to visiting' is the more appropriate one. ('Visiting' is a verb form that ends in -ing). Hence option B is correct and C is incorrect.

Options A and D: 'Of' expresses possession and 'will' refers to a future action. But since the phrase 'look forward to' is set, these options are incorrect.
