 |
|
Hello,
I came across this sentence while reading an online newspaper:
"Fears over a global chocolate shortage have sparked a run on the dark stuff on world cocoa markets that has pushed the price up of cacao beans (used to make cocoa) to their highest level for more than two years."
Is it advisable to insert the preposition in a phrasal verb in between the noun like "pushed the price up of cacao"? Can we rephrase this sentence?
Thank you,
N. |

The sentence is not correct. It should be '...pushed the price of cocoa beans up to...'.
Also, it should be '...highest level in more than two years'. |
