Are those words inside parenthesis correct?

Hi, Pink_Flower, and welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please post complete sentences containing the words you want us to evaluate.

That would make both phrases confusing.

In American English you would either use a comma followed by "which" or use "that" without a comma. They would mean different things.

So give us two complete sentences. Then we can discuss them.

Perhaps:

I handed him a map with our property outlined in red.

Hi
Thank you.
I do't have complete sentences, those were extracted from that dictionary :roll:

Number one could be rephrased a map in which our property is outlined in red.

I'd use "... a map on which our property is outlined in red". I don't know if that's a BrE v AmE difference.

I hesitated over the choice of prepositions and almost changed it to on several times. Either one works for me.

Is that OK if there are two prepositions there? Because most of the time, that preposition is the one that could be relocated in the sentence in a way that it can be before which or be after the verb associated with that preposition.

I like the hotel at which we stayed.
I like the hotel which we stayed at.

It's fine to have two prepositions. A more awkward version of the map sentence is "I handed him a map that our property was outlined in red on".

There's no repetition because the first in goes with map and the second in goes with red.
