Question

Many people _____ the poor

• A. looked ahead to
• B. looked on to
• C. looked forward to
• D. looked down on

Answer 1

Answer:

D. looked down on

• Looked down on" means to regard someone or something with a feeling of superiority or disdain. This phrase fits the sentence as it conveys the idea that many people view the poor in a condescending way.

• "Looked ahead to" means to think about or anticipate something in the future, which does not make sense in the context.

• "Looked on to" is not a standard English phrase, so it's incorrect here.

• "Looked forward to" means to anticipate something with excitement or pleasure, which also does not fit the context.
