Preposition + to infinitive
In order to live up to parents' the college entrance examination expectation, Senior Three students are burying themselves to meet the challenges of to come.
At the end, of to come, is that a right expression? If so can anybody give me another example. If NOT, Why? Many thanks for reply.

Thanks, I see.
The problem is above sentence is a question in a exam
they provided 4 options
A. to come B.coming C.to be coming D.having come
The teacher said the right answer is A which quite puzzled me. but anyway, we can forget that sentence, just focused on if the structure "of + to come" can make sense. or more general "preposition + to do" can make sense.
