Question

Which of the phrase given below the sentence should replace the word/phrase given in underline in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, select 'No correction required' as the answer.
One of the key competencies for managers are ethics and the ability to motivate others.

• A. Among the key competencies
• B. Beside the key competency
• C. Including the key competencies
• D. Within the key competence
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is A Among the key competencies

Sentence is suggesting more than one competencies. So, expression with 'one of ...' wrong. As there are many competencies to see, we are to use the word 'among' to make it correct.
E.g. Among the many attributes of PM Modi, his punctuality and diligence are the one to look at.
