Hello.

I don't have to send in the job application form until the end of the month, but I'm going to work ___ completing it this week.

What word should be used here?

Towards
To
For

As for me, I suppose 'towards' is missed here.

Thank you.
 
'Towards' looks OK here. Here is a relevant example from a British website: 'Confirm all preparatory work has been completed, and, if not, work towards completing it'.

What is the source of this question, Aksinia?
None of the three options works for. I'd use 'on'.
 
"On" seems the best choice to me too. I wouldn't be surprised by "towards" however.

I attached the file.
It's the 1st sentence.
To tell the truth, some sentences are odd to me.

Could you please provide the book's title? If it's a book written by native speakers of English exclusively, 'towards' seems to be the only possible option in this case.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of the book's title.
I would like to know it as well.
 
How did you take a screenshot of a page of the book if you don't have the book?
 
I'm going to work on completing it this week.

Or:

I'm going to try to finish it this week.
 
May I please ask another question?

The company has taken on a huge IT project.
We wil have to ___ achieving all the objectives bit by bit.

Work towards
Set out
Map out

Will 'work towards' suit here?
Or should there be other option?
