The important thing about the seventy-eighth line is the shi

Post by masonsouth »

A sentence: The important thing about the seventy-eighth line is the shift from impersonal objectivity of description to highly personal, subjective note.

I came across this sentence while I was reading. I think an indefinite article should be place before HIGHLY, but I am not sure; do you agree with me?
