Discussion

The subject of the movie has long been a bone of contention in the industry.

  • A.point of rejection.
  • B.criterion of selection.
  • C.point of disagreement.
  • D.cause of struggle.

Answer: C

A bone of contention means point of disagreement.

The idiom comes from the picture of two dogs fighting over a bone. It means a subject or issue over which people argue, as in the sentence, where the movie's subject has long been argued over in the industry.

'Point of rejection' and 'criterion of selection' have nothing to do with argument. 'Cause of struggle' is close but too strong and too general; the idiom refers to the matter people disagree about, not to a fight or struggle as such.
