Question

Select the most appropriate option to collocate with the word 'sight' to fill in the blank.

Where are you? It is so difficult to __________ sight of you.

A.

have

B.

get

C.

catch

D.

keep

Correct option is C

Explanation: The standard collocation is “catch sight of”, which means to see something briefly or suddenly.

Example: I was lucky to catch sight of a shooting star last night.

Explain why other options are incorrect:

  • Have sight: Not a valid collocation.
  • Get sight: Informally used, but not grammatically standard.
  • Keep sight: Used in “keep sight of something” to mean maintain view, not sudden appearance.

Information Booster: Learn fixed verb-noun collocations for native-like fluency (e.g., catch fire, catch sight, take charge).
