Is one of the two phrasings more natural than the other?
He grabbed the body of Mr. Anderson by the legs and dragged him to the stairs.
He grabbed Mr. Anderson's body by the legs and dragged him to the stairs.
1) Can you "grab a body by the legs"? Is it grammatical and "natural"?
2) Is one of the two phrasings more natural than the other?
3) Question about question 2. Is "phrasings" correct?
