Correct Answer: are looking for


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation:

The preposition to in the original sentence is not suitable for expressing the idea of searching for a place. Instead, the appropriate preposition to convey the intended meaning is for . The correct expression is looking for a place , indicating that the individuals are actively searching for a location to rest. The preposition for is commonly used in this context to denote the purpose or goal of the search.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: They are looking for a place to rest.
