Question
Read each sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). I'm looking forward to be in the country /with the highest 'human development index' in the world,/ and which showed such a mature response to /the recent massacre of Oslo and Utoya.Solution
The phrase "looking forward to" is a common idiom, and the word "to" in this case is a preposition, not part of an infinitive verb. Prepositions are followed by a noun, pronoun, or a gerund (a verb ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun). Therefore, the correct form is "looking forward to being" not "looking forward to be."
