There were many positive aspects _ the trip.


A. to
B. of



I'm wondering which choice is better for the above open cloze question.




Thanks,


Kelvin

I would choose "to".

Strangely, in Cambridge dictionary online, the preposition "of" is more commonly used after the word "aspect" and before another noun. For example: which aspects of the job do you most enjoy?

I'm wondering if there is a rule as to whether to use "to" or "of"?

I would choose "to".
