Rely on +of
Hi.
In a word-recognition strategy called structural analysis, a reader uses clues within the word itself to guess what the word means. The reader relies on knowledge of the meanings of prefixes, suffixes, roots, compound words, and endings such as ed and ing, and --------.
1) of combining them 2) how to combine them 3) how are they combined 4) of how they are combined
I chose #3 because I thought it was wrong to put 'of' after "rely on", but the answer key says #4 is the correct answer. How does it work? Is it correct to say "The reader relies on of how they are combined"?

Think of #3 this way. In a word-recognition strategy called structural analysis, a reader uses clues within the word itself to guess what the word means. The reader relies on knowledge of the meanings of prefixes, suffixes, roots, compound words, and endings such as ed and ing , and ( on knowledge) of how they are combined.

- But I wouldn't say #1 and #2 are wrong.
- In my opinion, this is not a good test question.
