Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To determine the correct usage of the phrasal verb "look after" in image_4d6c84.png, we must evaluate each sentence:
(I) "She stayed home to look after her younger brother.": The phrasal verb "look after" correctly means to take care of someone or something. This usage is correct.
(II) "The manager promised to look after the complaints personally.": In this context, "look after" is used to mean handling, dealing with, or taking responsibility for tasks or issues. This usage is correct.
(III) "He wanted to look after the documents before signing the contract.": This usage is incorrect. "Look after" implies caretaking or handling responsibilities, whereas a term like "look over" or "examine" would be appropriate for reviewing documents.
Based on this analysis:
Option 3: Both (I) and (II) is the correct choice, as these sentences use the phrasal verb appropriately.
