a broader perspective and knowledge?

Hello



The articled "a broader knowledge" would be grammatically wrong?





" I gained a broader perspective and knowledge"



So should I write as follows?



" I gained a broader perspective and broader knowledge"



Then it sounds redundant, any good suggestion?

Thanks

I gained (both) broader perspective and knowledge. The phrase broader perspective can be used with or without the "a" depending on the context. I wouldn't use a before broader perspective as the context is a rather general idea.

I was able to broaden both my knowledge and perspective.

I broadened my perspective and increased my knowledge.

Say, I need to say "I got fresh water and a fresh orange." Can I say "I got fresh water and orange"

or "I got a fresh orange and water"? How should I say this without repeating fresh?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what a fresh orange is, but "I got a fresh orange and water" is okay, thought it's not 100% clear that "fresh" applies to water. "I got fresh water and an orange" is fine too, but it doesn't imply that that the oragne is fresh.

I'm not sure you can do it without repeating.

Do you have any pets?

Yes, I have a black cat and dog. -- Would you assume my dog is
