Past exam of the algebra course of the University of Oxford / 2007 / A / 1 / 3 / Solution

Coordinatewise multiplication gives $V=A(1,1,0)$, so the third module is cyclic.

A submodule of a cyclic module need not be cyclic. In the second example the first-row space is a left ideal and hence a submodule of the regular module $A$. The regular module is cyclic, generated by $1_A$, whereas its first-row submodule has just been shown not to be cyclic. Thus the proposed inheritance property fails even for a finite-dimensional algebra.
