Correct Answer: looking for his book


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

In this context, looking for is the correct phrase to convey the idea of searching for his book. The preposition for is used with the verb looking to indicate the purpose or direction of the action whereas "looking into" means to investigate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He was looking for his book for the last two hours but couldn't find it.
