Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Look _____ this word in the dictionary.

• A. at
• B. for
• C. up
• D. into

Answer 1

The correct option is C up

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

The correct answer is option C) up as 'look up' refers to finding a word in a dictionary or a reference book.

'At', 'for' and 'into' can not be used here because 'at' is used for the reference to a location, 'for' is used to indicate the purpose of something and 'into' is used to show the movement of something/ someone.

' Look up this word in the dictionary.'
