Missing Word
I was working on some TOEIC listening practices. And one of the answers in a "Photos" test says the following sentence.
"The tanker is dry dock."
It sounds weird to me because I think there must be some words missing. I think it should be:
"The tanker is in a dry dock."
I am not sure if my thinking is correct. Please help.
