2.
Is *se xual fantasy* the person or the scenario?

1) "on" is fine, although I would use "the" as well to say, "I need to buy books on the TOEFL." "On" means "about" in this case, and you can also say, "I need to buy books for the TOEFL," and "for" means for the purpose of studying for the TOEFL.
2) It's the scenario or the story; the person would be a fantasy man/woman/person. Other terms for a person from a s3xual fantasy are possible.
3) Both are correct; the first sentence is more common. You can omit "that" from the first sentence, but not from the second. (Also, it's just "Which of the above is correct?", no "s" with "above.") |

Is the extended version, "which of the above ones* is correct? So that "ones" is omitted?
