==========================================
We should find an effective ______ of bringing the union and management together for our future.
a) instrument b) means c) technique d) approach
==========================================
I know that " an effective means of ~~" is a right answer.
But how about "instrument"?
Is it impossible to use "instrument" in the sentence above?
Please refer to the following.
=============================================
instrument :
someone or something that can be used in order to make something happen:
The government has a number of policy instruments it can use for this purpose.
instrument of: an important instrument of quality control
The problem lies with the preposition- I wouldn't use instrument of + gerund. Also it doesn't collocate here, IMO; an instrument is something specific to me.

Have a nice day! :D
