    is the singular/plural of 책 plural by default? i wrote "a book" but got it wrong

      Both the singular and plural versions should be accepted.

        경제 is both economics and economy.

        Why can't "The students read about the economy every day" Be accepted?

        I think "to read about the economy" would be more like "경제에 대해서 읽다" and "read a book about economy" is specifying that there's a book they're reading and it's about economy, "경제에 대한 책".

          Yes. Why is the translation answer marked wrong when "book" is included, as 책 is part of the sentence?

          I don't know. It's getting confusing.

            Now it is including books.

              Based on logic, one would automatically think books rather than a single book because it's more than one student
