Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The correct answer option is "meeting you."
Key Points
- The verb ‘meet’ should be in the gerund form (-ing form) after ‘look forward to’ in a sentence.
- So, the correct sentence will be ‘I look forward to meeting you’.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1".
Additional Information
- Gerunds are verbs that have an -ing attached to it.
- The difference between a present participle that also has an -ing form attached to it and a gerund is that gerunds are verbs with -ing form that function as nouns.
- Example: Reading books is my passion. Here the word reading is the subject of the sentence that acts as a noun even though it is a verb (read) with an -ing form.
- Here, reading is a gerund. In the given question, meeting is not a verb, but a gerund; a verb with an -ing form acting as a noun.
