Find out the correct sentence from the following options :

  • A.She has no authority over her son.
  • B.She has no authority upon her son.
  • C.She has no authority for her son.
  • D.She has no authority of her son.

Answer: A

The correct sentence is She has no authority over her son.

The noun authority takes over before the person or thing controlled: authority over her son, authority over the staff. It takes on only in the sense of an expert (an authority on history), and to before a verb (authority to act).

Authority upon, authority for and authority of do not express control over a person, so the other three sentences are wrong.
