   Hi, Anton Shepelev - Denis Mosko!   
   I read your message from 26.02.2021 19:54   
      
    AM> I do not see anything special in the phrase "bear the  brunt   
    AM> of",  which you placed in the subject, that might not be un-   
    AM> derstood at intermediate level.  That  is  a  simple  phrase   
    AM> where  the verb "to bear" governs the unfinished noun phrase   
    AM> "brunt of...". What is your exact problem with  parsing  and   
    AM> understanding it?
