The minister had promised to look __________ the matter.

  • A.at
  • B.into
  • C.for
  • D.about

Answer: B

The sentence needs into: The minister had promised to look into the matter.

Look into is a phrasal verb meaning to investigate or examine something, which is what a minister promises to do with a complaint or an issue.

The other prepositions change the meaning. Look at means to turn your eyes towards something, look for means to search for something you have lost, and look about means to look around you. None of them means to inquire into a matter.
