Direction : Replace the underlined phrases/idioms in the following sentences with the appropriate phrases/words given below the respective sentences.
We must always lookout for friends.
Answer: D
'Look out for' here means searching.
To look out for someone is to watch for them or seek them: we must always be searching for (on the lookout for) friends. The paper prints the phrase as 'lookout for'.
Seeing is just perceiving with the eyes, without the sense of seeking. Waiting is passive, staying for someone to come, and thinking is a mental act, not a search.
The paper writes 'lookout' as one word, which is the noun (a person keeping watch, or the act of watching); the verb is written as two words, 'look out for'.
