zero article
0 Hello, 02 br
00 I am confused about using of zero article in the sentences like: 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 Source of poisoning 02 u 00 has yet to be identified but the local council's environmental health department believes that meat may have caused the outbreak. 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 British Minister of Foreign Affairs 02 u 00 will pay a three-day visit to Czechoslovakia next weekend. 02 br
00 It is said that the erring workers normally finish their assignment by 3 a.m. and that they are not due to clock off until seven. It is possible that 01 u 00 management 02 u 00 has given them far too little to do or much long in which to do it. 02 br
02 br

00 I think it's just that some people have been lazy for long enough, which has resulted in expressions like those in your sentences becoming so common that they are now "idiomatic" English. 02 br
00 Note 1: 01 i 00 ... has given them far too little to do or much 01 b 00 too 02 b 00 long in which to do it. 02 i 02 br

0 I'm confused too. It should be 01 i 00 The source of poisoning ... 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 The British Minister ... 02 i 02 br
00 On the other hand the use of 01 i 00 management 02 i 00 as an uncountable noun is quite common. 02 br
