As it should be easy to red ant to write, I thought no 1, but I know that by the rules it should be no 2 or no 3. No 4 is also correct, but for a number sign it seems too large to me ... I am not at all sure. The top three my even all be incorrect by the placing of the arrow. It is placed there for economy of space, but maybe this consideration is not valid ... </p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p>Could you help me ouyt please?
