Hi

No, "to look for for" is not correct. Apparently this is a typo in the test. There is also a second typo that needs to be fixed. There should be a word in front of "car" (e.g. "my" or "the").

Hi Khan,

You will find most of these definitions here: Phrasal verb 'look'.

Also, please note the correct spelling of Alan's name.

Thanks,
Torsten
