the use of nouns with prepositions

[ASMAA997]

Hi,
I like to ask about how to choose the preposition with the the noun


for example :
the noun "authority " does it take on or about ?
how do we know ?

i'm sorry, but i have no idea what you are trying to ask here.

in any case -- it's pretty clear that this isn't a random question; there must have been a specific problem in which you saw the word "authority", with a split between these options.

the context of that original problem is going to be important!
so, please re-post your question with a full citation of the problem that inspired it.

thanks.
