Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2014 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.

My sister prides herself .......... her cooking.

Answer Details
The correct answer is "on". The phrasal verb "pride oneself on" means to be proud of a particular skill, accomplishment, or quality that one possesses. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that their sister is proud of her cooking, so the appropriate preposition to use is "on". The other options do not fit grammatically or idiomatically in the sentence. "For" and "over" are not commonly used with the verb "pride oneself", and "in" would imply that the sister takes pride in cooking generally, rather than her own cooking specifically.
