Replace the underlined common phrases with the right option.

Parents look after their children carefully.

  • A.look for
  • B.search for
  • C.leave alone
  • D.take care of

Answer: D

Look after means take care of.

To look after someone is to take care of them, to see to their needs and safety: Parents take care of their children carefully.

The other phrasal verbs built on look mean different things: look for and search for mean to try to find something lost. Leave alone is almost the opposite of looking after.

The phrasal verb is common in the sense of caring for people, animals or property: She looks after her grandmother. Who will look after the house?
