Which one is correct?
I think the first one is correct because since "student" is a countable noun, an indefinite or definite noun must be placed before it. However, from my practice exercise, the model answers are both 1 and 3. Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks a lot! | To me, only 2) is ungrammatical. The phrases "a student in. . ." and "student in. . ." are possible. Both function as appositives. |
