Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: look up
Explanation:
Given sentence
'If you are not clear about the meaning of a word, it is wise to look to a dictionary.'
Concept/Approach
For checking meanings, the collocation is 'look up a word (in a dictionary)'. 'Look to' means 'depend on/seek help from' and is not used for finding definitions.
Step-by-step correction
Replace 'look to' → 'look up'.
Why other options are not ideal
'look for' → means 'seek' (not consult a reference).'look at' → means 'view'.'No improvement' → keeps the wrong prepositional verb.
Final Answer
look up
