3 a second stove burner 还是 the second stove burner

下面的内容摘自2021年新高考的全国乙卷的读后续题:

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen.

There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

我觉得文中的 Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan 有错,也就是说这里的 the second stove burner  似乎应该是用 a second stove burner

你的怀疑有一定道理,但原句也没有错。比如,如果灶台上只有两个 stoves,那么前面点燃了一个,现在当然是点第二个,也就是 the second(即用定冠词,特指两个中的另一个)。但是,如果灶台上不止两个 stoves,而是有多个,则可能用 a second 比较好。
