Students should ____ close attention to the safety instructions in the laboratory.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. pay
- Step 1: The phrase needs a verb that collocates with 'attention' in the sense of concentrating. Step 2. The standard collocation is 'pay attention'. Answer: pay. Why not the others: 'hold attention' means keep someone's interest, not give it; 'do attention' and 'bring attention' are not natural here ('bring attention to' means highlight).
