A small group of books
A learner receives the phrase དེབ་དམར་པོ་གཉིས and the task asks for its basic meaning. The head noun is book, the following adjective is red and the numeral is two. One proposed answer describes two red books; another describes a single blue book, and a third invents the owner and price. The task contains no transaction, date or possessive expression, so those details cannot be read from the phrase. The learner should account for every supplied component and avoid adding a plural suffix merely because the English answer uses a plural noun. The exercise checks word order, vocabulary and counting together rather than treating three separate word lists as a complete reading.
1. Give the supported interpretation.
Read the worked answer
The phrase denotes two red books. The noun, colour adjective and numeral all contribute to that interpretation.
2. What remains unspecified?

No owner, price, purchase date or location is stated. The phrase does not justify adding those details, even though they could occur in a longer context.
