这是两个所有格的应用,是错的,of 和 ‘s 不能连用
以上言论是错误的,因为我看到了OG18-787的正确答案:C
a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings’ burning of fossil fuels,这里GMAT是一起用的。
但是从Marconi's 的这道题来看,我搜索到了ron关于 所有格的解释:(如下),所以很迷惑,有人来解答一下RON说的到底是什么意思吗???

I'm wondering whether "Marconi’s conception of the radio" is a sort of "double possessive"?
thanks~
RON:
no, because 's and of are signaling completely different things.
the 's is signaling that it is marconi's idea, and not anybody else's idea.
the of is signaling that it is his idea of the radio (and not his idea of anything else).
--
to have a genuinely incorrect double possessive, both of the possessives need to be trying to fulfill exactly the same function in terms of meaning.
for instance,
tom is a friend of joe's
--> this is incorrect, since BOTH 's and of are trying to indicate the same thing (i.e., that tom is one of joe's friends, not anyone else's friend).
