The correct answer is (B) in. The phrase "take pride in" is a common idiom meaning to feel a deep sense of satisfaction or pleasure from one's own achievements, or those of a person or group with whom one is closely associated.
Explanation
The idiom "take pride in" is a fixed expression in English. While other prepositions like "by," "of," or "for" might be used in other contexts to express a relationship, they are not the correct choice for this particular idiom.
-
(A) by: Incorrect. "Take pride by" is not a standard English expression.
-
(B) in: Correct. The phrase is "take pride in." For example, "She takes pride in her work," or "He takes pride in his children."
-
(C) of: Incorrect. "Take pride of" is not a standard English expression. While you might say "the pride of the team," the verb phrase requires "in."
-
(D) for: Incorrect. "Take pride for" is not a standard English expression. You might say "He is proud for his son," but the verb phrase with "take" requires "in."
