I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'provides an example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'unhealthy primarily unfair street prices' is the wordplay.
'unhealthy' becomes 'i'll' (associated in meaning).
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'prices' becomes 'rates' (I've seen this in another clue).
The initial letter of 'unfair' is 'u'.
'ill'+'u'+'st'+'rates'='ILLUSTRATES'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for illustrates that I've seen is " Shows b".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
