The sentence is testing your understanding of the phrasal verb "to lord it over." The phrase means to act as if you are superior or more powerful than others , behaving in a bossy and arrogant manner. Option A ("to lord it for") doesn't make sense in this context. We don't "lord it for" someone. Option B ("to lord over") is closer, but it's missing the "it." The correct idiom requires the "it." Think of "it" as representing the act of lording. Option C ("to lord it over") is the correct option. It correctly uses the phrasal verb "to lord it over," meaning to dominate or be bossy towards others. Option D ("to lord it over on") is redundant. "Over" already implies the direction of the dominance, so "on" is unnecessary. Option E is incorrect because the original sentence uses the phrasal verb incorrectly. The correct form is "to lord it over." Therefore, the best choice is Option C .
