Question

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

Please look ________ your interests.

• A. After
• B. Of
• C. Under
• D. Out

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

After

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.
