Example of a confusing word: version (a particular form of something)

▪The company has a strong version for growth.
▪The company has a strong form for growth.
"Vision" is a noun that means the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. In the sentence "The company has a strong vision for growth," it correctly conveys the idea of a forward-thinking plan. "Version," however, refers to a particular form or variant of something and does not fit the context of planning or future scenarios. Using "version" in this sentence is grammatically incorrect and changes the meaning entirely. Therefore, "vision" is the correct choice.
