    Some people say I take down

    B.

    only one who thinks I look

    C.

    similar to my mother.

    D.

    my father but you are the

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains the error. The error in "Some people say I take down my father" is the incorrect usage of the phrase "take down."
    · The intended meaning is likely to resemble or look like someone, which should be expressed as "take after" instead of "take down."
    · "Take down" typically means to write down information or to bring someone to a lower position or defeat them, which does not fit the context.
    · Grammatical rule used: The correct idiom for describing inheriting physical or behavioral traits from a parent or relative is "take after." Example: Everyone says I take after my grandmother with my love for gardening.
