the backing bone of the organization’s
Incorrect Answerthe backbone in the organization’s
Incorrect Answerthe backbone of the organization’s
Correct Answerthe backbones of the organization’s
Incorrect AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The correct idiomatic expression in this sentence is ‘the backbone of' and not 'the backing bone in'.
Be the backbone (Idiom):
Meaning: The part of something that makes it successful or strong.
E.g.: Ordinary volunteers form the backbone of most charitable organizations.
Hence ‘the backbone of’ should be used in place of ‘the backing bone in’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Among the given choices, only option C replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
BJP is the only political party in the country which has a trained political human resource and this will form the backbone of the organization’s workforce in the days to come.
Option C is hence the correct answer.
