An article again
1) My brother is reading an article on physics again.
I think this can mean:
a) My brother is reading another article on physics.
but could it also mean:
b) My brother is reading the same article on physics again.
c) My brother is reading an article on physics for the second time.
My assumption is that 'b' and 'c' mean the same thing, but I don't know if '1' could mean the same thing as well.
Gratefully,
