| Option | Used to show | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) by | “By” goes with the passive verb “be inspired by”, not with the noun phrase “take inspiration”. | The film was inspired by a true story. |
| (2) from (answer) | To take (or draw, get) inspiration means to get ideas or the urge to create something. The source of the ideas is introduced by from: one takes inspiration from a person, a place or a thing. | The poet took inspiration from the hills around her village. |
| (3) in | One finds inspiration in something, but “take inspiration in” is not used. | She found inspiration in her grandmother's stories. |
| (4) for | purpose. The sentence already uses it correctly in “for the new installation project”, but the source of the inspiration needs “from”. | He is saving money for a new laptop. |
