Dear teacher,
Here is my last list of sentences on articles:
21) Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
22) Do you prefer a book of X poetry or some stories of adventure?
23) I want a tin of X peaches, some sugar, and a pound of X raspberry jam.
24) The clouds over the sea are lovely today.
25) Maisie travelled in a second-class carriage with some Americans.
Your patience is very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Dear Alan,
As for sentence 22), is also possible to say:
Do you prefer a book of X poetry or X stories of adventure?
instead of :
Do you prefer a book of X poetry or some stories of adventure?
Many thanks,
Hela

Yes, either would be OK.
