The rodeo is (great way to unite soldier's skills and build) esprit de corps.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. a great way to unite soldier's skills and build.
- The article "a" is needed before "great way" to correctly structure the noun phrase.
- The skills belong to multiple soldiers, so the correct possessive form is soldiers' (with the apostrophe after the "s").
- The word "build" should follow the previous structure to maintain parallelism in the verb phrases ("unite" and "build").
