In the following sentence "The need for food and resources of all kinds~",
does this 'af all kinds' modify only 'resources', or both 'food' and 'resources'?
Please help me, teachers.
Thank you. |

.
It modifies both. If you don't want it to mean that, reverse the terms:
"The need for resources of all kinds and food~"
