<p>The Question Is:</p>
<p>Princeton University officials first [broke with] a tradition [of awarding] honorary degrees only [to men] when they awarded [it] to author Willa Cather.</p>
<p>The Answer is:
D) it.</p>
<p>My Question:
I understand perfectly well the "it" doesn't match its antecedent, HOWEVER "broke with" just sounds REALLY awkward.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain to me why "broke with" is correct?</p>
<p>I think it should be broke from. What book are you using?</p>
<p>“Break with” is a legitimate phrase. “Break” means “discontinue a relationship.”

“It” should be changed to “one [of them].”</p>
