As there was no one to look thorough the orphan, he had to take refuge in the orphanage.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. look after.
"Look after" is an idiomatic expression used to indicate caregiving or ensuring someone's well-being.
The word "thorough" means detailed, complete, or exhaustive. It doesn't fit the context of caregiving or taking responsibility for the orphan.
The verb "look" combines with the preposition "after" to form the phrasal verb "look after," which makes sense in this context.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "As there was no one to look after the orphan, he had to take refuge in the orphanage."
