Correct Answer:
B. I look forward to meeting you.
This question tests knowledge of common English idioms and verb forms, specifically the correct usage of "look forward to."
- Correct Answer B: I look forward to meeting you. The phrase "look forward to" is an idiomatic expression where "to" functions as a preposition, not as part of an infinitive verb (like "to meet"). When "to" is a preposition, it must be followed by a noun or a gerund (the -ing form of a verb acting as a noun). Therefore, "meeting" is the correct gerund form to follow the preposition "to."
- Incorrect Answer A: I look forward to meet you. This is incorrect because "to meet" is an infinitive, and "to" in "look forward to" is a preposition.
- Incorrect Answer C: I look forward for meeting you. This uses the wrong preposition ("for" instead of "to").
- Incorrect Answer D: I look forward meet you. This omits the necessary preposition "to" entirely, making the sentence grammatically incorrect.
