I am really looking forward to meet you

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. to meeting you.

In the given sentence, the preposition 'to' is a part of the phrasal verb "looking forward to" (verb + adverb + preposition).

The subject in the sentence is 'I' and the object is "meet you".

But in the object of a sentence, the verbs are never used and only the nouns, pronouns or the noun phrases are used.

In the underlined segment, the word 'meet' is a verb and a gerund i.e. meeting should be used in place of the verb 'meet'.

The correct sentence will be:- I am really looking forward to meeting you.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. to meeting you.
