I would like to know why the definite article is omitted in the following sentence: Norway has been ranked as the world's happiest nation in the UN sponsored survey. It pushed last year's leader, Denmark, into second place.The rankings are based on factors including social support, freedom and absence of corruption.what my question is, why the definite article "the" is omitted before "second place and "absence of corruption.I watched the sentences on BBC learning English.Thanks inadvance.
