Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. I long from travel outside the country, dreaming of adventures among the towering Alps and basking in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

• A. long at travel
• B. long to travel
• C. long for travelling
• D. long for travelled

Answer 1

Answer:

B. long to travel

• 1. The Phrasal Verb "Long": The verb "long" means to have a strong desire or craving for something. In English grammar, when "long" is followed by an action (a verb), it typically takes the to-infinitive form. Structure: Subject + long + to + base verb Correct: I long to travel. 2. Prepositional Usage: While you can say "long for" when followed by a noun (e.g., "I long for a vacation"), using "long from" (as seen in the original sentence) is grammatically incorrect.
