Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. seeking.

The sentence is: "may want to be a fashion lover, which may lead them to spend more time (2) ______ out the latest fashion trends..."

Here, the correct phrase is "seeking out" meaning actively looking for or searching.

freaking out means panicking, which doesn’t fit here.

doing out is incorrect grammar.

making out means understanding or kissing, which doesn’t fit.

So, seeking is the correct word because it fits the meaning of searching for the latest fashion trends.
