Question

Correct the sentence at the underlined point.
She says she's already paid me back, but I can't remember, so I'll have to take her word.

• A. To take her word true
• B. To take her at her word
• C. To take her word for it
• D. No improvement

Answer 1

The correct option is C To take her word for it

Here, using only "take her word" leaves the sentence incomplete: "take her word for it" is the correct construction of the phrase which means to believe what someone says, in this case 'her', without checking. So, option C is the correct answer.
