網友提問：
Most customer service provision is carried out by personal account managers based in local branches, together with __________ staff at company headquarters.
1. aid
2. support
3. guidance
4. backing
為什麼用support，不用backing?兩者有什麼區別麼?
解答：
這裡不能選擇backing。back有支援的意思，但是backing表支援時卻是名詞
(support or help, especially with money。
查了朗文詞典和劍橋詞典，backing做形容詞時只在朗文詞典裡有一種解釋：backing singers
意思應該是背景歌手或者是伴唱歌手。
所以給出的空裡不能選backing.
support staff可以說是一種固定的用法，意思是支援人員，或者是後勤人員、運維人員，填入這個句子的'空格處正好合適。
這是《金融時報》詞典的解釋：Employees whose work is helping a company or organization to operate, for example technical or administrative workers
橙色標註的幾個空將做重點解答
21、爭議的焦點可能在B和C之間，supplier 還是provider。
supplier更側重於提供某種產品(朗文：a company or person that provides a particular product)
provider強調提供某種服務(朗文：a company or person that provides a service)
聯絡這個空後面的banking serving，這裡應該選擇provider。
23、network 相互關係(配合)的系統
這個詞很好理解，看一遍就會了。如果是第一次選，沒準會選中system
28、cope with後接事 deal with可接人和事
handle是及物動詞，後面直接接人和事，相當於deal with
31、loan application 貸款申請
apply for loan 固定用法
33、go through 仔細的檢視，後面正好和customer service review搭配。
driving force和customer base屬於固定用法
