Direction : Select the appropriate preposition to fill in the blanks in the following sentences.
She takes pride ______ her beauty.
Answer: B
The correct preposition is in: takes pride in her beauty.
The phrase is take pride in something. The adjective form uses a different preposition: she is proud of her beauty. Mixing the two produces the common error 'takes pride of'.
'Pride about' and 'pride for' are not idiomatic with 'take'.
The reflexive verb gives a third pattern: she prides herself on her beauty.
