Use of a mathematical model in the English language.
It is customary to write items in a series with required articles. For example, we write 'a book, a pen, a rubber and a bag'. Mathematically speaking, the article 'a' is common to all the items. So put in a mathematical format, it would be like 'a (book, pen, rubber and bag)' and would be 'a book, pen, rubber and bag' with the removal of brackets/parentheses. (However, mathematics does not allow this.) Both expressions are acceptable.
Suppose we write 'a book, a pen, an erasure and a bag'. Here, the article 'a' cannot be taken as a common factor because there is 'an' before 'erasure'. So it would be wrong to say 'a book, pen, erasure and bag'.

When one is struck suddenly with the urge to go #2 in an awkward setting and needs to find a bathroom immediately.
After the sorority wings eating contest I had to go extreme-o so badly but there were too many people in the sorority house and I had to go across the street to the freshman dorm to find an empty bathroom.
