Real Madrid's Pepe is famous ____ kicking people.

• A. For
• B. About
• C. With
• D. Against

Answer: (A)

Famous is paired with for to tell what someone is known for. In this sentence, the thing Pepe is known for is kicking people, so we use the gerund form after for: kicking. That gives the natural phrase famous for kicking people.

The other prepositions don’t fit here. About would refer to a topic, which doesn’t describe a known attribute. With would indicate presence or accompaniment, not the reason someone is famous. Against would show opposition.
