Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The sentence is:
> "The horse is a winner, ____."
You need a phrase that *confirms strongly* what was just said — that the horse is truly a winner.
Now, checking each option:
- A. you can take that from me — This sounds like "believe me," but it's not the best or most common expression. A bit awkward.
- B. you can say I say so — This sounds childish and weak. It does not strongly confirm anything. Incorrect.
- C. you can take my word for it — This is a strong and common English phrase meaning "trust me, I am sure." This fits perfectly.
- D. it is my word against theirs — This suggests a *disagreement* between two sides, not what the sentence is about. Incorrect.
- E. you may or may not believe it — This sounds unsure and doubtful, not strong and confident. Incorrect.
