Hello,
Is it possible to substitute "of" by another preposition in the above-mentioned sentence?
(My reason is that I guess these "of"s have made the sentence more complicated than it really is. The sentence is straightforward, but still I'm not sure whether I have comprehended it correctly.)
Thank you.
