Answer 1

The correct option is D after / through / for

Option "D" is the correct answer.

EXPLANATION:

A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns , or phrases to other words within a sentence.

In the first blank, preposition "after" will be used because preposition "after" is used to indicate if something is done after a date or an event. In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to indicate something that is followed by 'looking his papers'.

In the second blank, preposition "through" will be used because preposition "through" is used to show a completion of a particular action successfully.

In the third blank, preposition "for" will be used because preposition "for" is used to introduce the person receiving something (he is receiving a chance).
