Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

to meeting sakshi

Solution :

The correct option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence is to meeting sakshi.


Explanation:

In English grammar, the phrase "look forward to" is a phrasal verb that means to await something with anticipation or pleasure.


Here, the word "to" in "look forward to" acts as a preposition, not as part of an infinitive verb structure (to + base verb).


Since prepositions must be followed by a noun, pronoun, or a gerund (verb + -ing acting as a noun), the verb that follows "look forward to" must always take the -ing form (gerund).


Therefore, the correct phrasing is "looking forward to meeting", making the complete correct sentence:
"He is eagerly looking forward to meeting sakshi soon."
