New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: as the vertebral column
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
When using the verb "called" to introduce a name or alternative term for something, it is followed directly by the name or term without the need for an additional "as". The error is in the unnecessary inclusion of "as" after "called".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The backbone in the human body is also called the vertebral column .
