Dear teachers,
The quote is taken from my textbook. Now I just want to know whether I can use in support of to substitute for by supporting without changing its meaning, because , to me, they are possibly interchangeable, but I am not sure if there is semantic nuance between them. Could you kindly clarify it to me? Thanks.
