I am returning to an old point of discussion , in the Shopping Bills dataset the Items category was of type List . Each item was a record of its own with fields like qty, price, cost etc . it was a list of records . So similarly in the Scores dataset ,  the Marks should be of list datatype ,i.e a list of records with each record having two fields Subject Name and Subject  Marks . Right?
That was my first clarification .
Second, 
 The fields Subject Marks  and Subject Name are individually of List data type , as they contain the list of marks of different subjects of a particular student . 
Third,
Can a list have only one entity and still be called a list?
PLEASE CORRECT ME WHERE I HAVE GONE WRONG IN MY UNDERSTANDING AS IT WOULD HELP US ALL HAVE A CLEAR CONCEPT .

i dont get what your first doubt is. But for your second one,YES you can have list with only one element or even with no element at all.(Think of list as a set)
