A clear vision (in/of) the way the company would develop

(1) He had a clear vision of how he hoped the company would develop. — correct

My variants:

Hi Good question. I'll reply, although others may disagree You can complete such sentences with 'vision' by saying what it is a vision 'of': - He had a vision of the way the company would develop - I had a vision of angels Or, you can complete it with an indirect statement, in which case you don't need 'of': - He had a vision how the company would develop - He had a vision that, one day, all people would be equal However, your (4) and (5) don't follow this, so I am doubtful about them. But, as said, that is just my own view Dave
