(a) Dr. Simons has taken on the position of the Head of Department.
(b) He is the finest young player around at the moment.
(c) She was the company director when she retired.
Identify the correct sentence/s.

The correct answer is Option C (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• Omission of Articles with titles denoting unique offices/positions following phrases like 'the position of' or predicative nouns.
• Option (3) - 'Only (b)' is the official answer key verdict.
• Sentence (b) is undoubtedly correct: 'the finest young player' correctly uses the definite article 'the' before a superlative adjective.
• Sentence (a) is flawed: After phrases like 'the position of', 'the post of', or 'the title of', the following noun should not take an article (it should be 'the position of Head of Department', not 'the position of the Head of Department').
• In sentence (c), predicative nouns expressing a unique office or position typically omit 'the' or use 'a' unless uniquely specified (e.g., 'she was company director').
• Hence, only sentence (b) is accepted as correct.
• Key Takeaway: Do not use 'the' after 'position of' (position of Head); use 'the' before superlatives (the finest).
