Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: "after" — "look after" means to take care of.
Explanation: The sentence asks for a verb phrase that expresses taking responsibility for the garden during someone's absence; "look after" fits this meaning.
"after" — "look after": take care of; correct choice for maintaining the garden while the owner is away.
"at" — "look at": to direct one's gaze toward something or to observe; does not imply caretaking.
"over" — "look over": to examine or inspect; not the same as taking care of something over time.
"into" — "look into": to investigate or inquire; does not mean to care for or maintain.
