Proper positions of prepositional phrases
Hello experts!!!
I'm here again because I need your help... I'm troubled with positions of prepositional phrases.
Please read the following sentences and tell me whether you think each of them makes some sense and can be acceptable as grammatically correct.
1. The presence of choice plays an important role for social partners in the evolution of prosocial behavior.
2. The presence for social partners of choice plays an important role in the evolution of prosocial behavior.
I think I need to say this.... The above sentences were supposed to be "The presence of choice for social partners plays an important role in the evolution of prosocial behavior."
Thank you for your precious time and kindness... will be looking forward to you answer then...
