Hi,
Let me ask you about articles.
I guess 1. would be natural and idiomatic without 'the' before responsibiliy, but 2. would need 'the' before responsibility. Am I right?
Context: Students made fuss in the classroom and ended up breaking the door.
1. Teacher: Who do you think should pay the bill for repairing the door?
Student2: I started the fight. So, I guess I should take responsibility
for paying the bill.
2. Student2: I was just sitting on a chair beside the door
so I don't think I should take the responsibility
for paying the bill.
Thanks in advance.
