[Vocabulary] the use of provision or anticipation in the sentence

[bskkkkcccc]

i have a question in terms of the use of provision or anticipation noun in the sentence :
"the decision to hire additional shift workers was made in provision of an increase in demand for electric blankets during the winter months"

If i replace "provision" into "anticipation" in the sentence, is it the wrong or inappropriate?...
If so, why "anticipation" is not acceptable in the sentence?

Welcome to the forum, bskkkcccc.

[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE]I have a question in terms of the use of "provision" or "anticipation" [STRIKE]noun[/STRIKE] in the sentence:
"[STRIKE]t[/STRIKE]The decision to hire additional shift workers was made in provision of an increase in demand for electric blankets during the winter months."

If [STRIKE]i[/STRIKE]I replace "provision" [STRIKE]into[/STRIKE] with "anticipation" in the sentence, is it [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] wrong or inappropriate?(...)
If so, why is "anticipation" [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] not acceptable in the sentence?

"in anticipation of" is not wrong; "in provision of" is unnatural.
