Is it correct to say, “justification for and reference to your answer”?

Question

I want to shorten the words “justification for your answer and reference to your answer” by saying, “justification for and reference to your answer”. Is this shorter form correct? If not, how should I say it?

Irene · Answer

I'd say that this phrase sounds unnatural. You may say "justification and reference to your answer", without "for" in this case. Hope it helps :)
