Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct meaning: Going overseas means going abroad or to a foreign country.
Therefore, the sentence "Paul went abroad to look for a job and luxurious life." conveys that Paul traveled to a foreign country seeking employment and a better, more comfortable life.
Note on wording: The meaning is clear, but the phrasing would be smoother as "Paul went abroad to look for a job and a more luxurious life" or "Paul went abroad to look for a job and a luxurious life" with the article added before "luxurious life."
Key point: "went overseas" = "went abroad" (traveled to a foreign country).
Avoid confusing changes: options that introduce failure or use literal/unusual phrases do not match the intended meaning.
