this question answer is take care of. not watch for. olu promised to look out for her.. not only promised to be in the look for out her. looking out for somebody means to take care of that person. while to be in the look out for someone is to search for that person. so I strongly believe the answer is "To take care of". I even asked the AI .. and it gave the same answer as me. please correct this. thank you
please the answer is not correct please this is what i rely on please dont make me fail pls correct it
The correct answer is D
when you look out for someone, that simply means protecting them or taking care of them
but myschool picked watch for
can you watch for something???nope watch for isn't making any sense, you can't watch for someone....you can only watch out for something not watch for someone....so take care of is the correct answer which also means protect
Please, my school questions like this demand explanation for a better answer.
I am totally confused; visiting the discussion section makes me more confused.
The selected answer is wrong:
Sorry, the answer isn't take care of... at least contextually.... The answer would be "visit" and the reference isn't conclusive as it references watch out for rather than look out for... For reference:
1...... First one
