He went to foreign for higher education.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e went abroad

  • The phrase "to foreign" is incorrect because "foreign" is an adjective and cannot be used as a noun in this context. The correct noun form is "abroad".

  • "Went abroad" is the standard expression used to describe traveling to another country, particularly for purposes like education or work.

  • "Went abroad" correctly conveys the idea of traveling to a foreign country for higher education.

So, the revised sentence should be: "He went abroad for higher education."
