Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. pay him a visit.

  • "Pay him a visit" is an idiomatic expression that means to go and visit someone, especially if they are ill or need support.
  • In the given sentence, the speaker is expressing their desire to visit someone they are missing, which indicates that they want to spend time with that person.
  • The other options "give a visit", "take a visit", and "bring in a visit" are not commonly used idiomatic expressions to describe visiting someone.

Thus, the correct sentence would be:

We decided to pay him a visit as we were missing him a lot.
