All these are possible answers, right? where is the question? (A) a hospital bill , the patient questioned (B) an error in (C) the charges and received ( D) the reimbursement from the hospital. I forgot to tell you that this is a find-an-error question. We have to find something wrong out of these four underlined words or phrases.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToeicDefiniteIndefinite-Articles/gjkrb/post.htm#548255Fri, 27 Feb 2009 06:51:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:548255Clive1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToeicDefiniteIndefinite-Articles/gjkrb/post.htm#548255http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-548255.xmlHi, There are a number of possible permutations here that are correct. I think the examiner wants you to correct D to a reimbursement , or the more general reimbursement. As regards the phrase &#39;a hospital bill&#39;, I think the examiner wants to talk about a bill that has not been previously mentioned, and thus does not want you to change &#39;a&#39; to &#39;the&#39;. In many of these types of test, you have to try to read the examiner&#39;s mind a bit. Best wishes, Clive .http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToeicDefiniteIndefinite-Articles/gjkrb/post.htm#548245Wed, 27 May 2009 05:51:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:548245Goodman2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToeicDefiniteIndefinite-Articles/gjkrb/post.htm#548245http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-548245.xmlI am not sure if Iunderstand your question.

According to the answer key, (D) is incorrect. I think reimbursement is a count noun and a general subject matter, so I would correct it to a reimbursement. Is that right? I also wonder why not use the hospital for (A) because I think it can refer to a specific item . Please advise.
