Which sentence is correct, in or no in?
(1) That is, it is not the lack of technical solutions (pumps, reservoirs, dams, etc.) that is the main obstacle explaining why they lack access to safe water.
(2) That is, it is not the lack of technical solutions (pumps, reservoirs, dams, etc.) that is the main obstacle IN explaining why they lack access to safe water.
Which sentence of the two is correct? I think sentence (1), the one with no IN is correct since I see the phrase "the main obstacle" as the subject for explaining. Could you help me clarify it? Thanks.
(2) That is, it is not the lack of technical solutions (pumps, reservoirs, dams, etc.) that is the main obstacle IN explaining why they lack access to safe water.
