Level Up (A5E) Missing word in Gather Information downtime activity

AG page 428: Gather Information
The character specifies a particular individual, event, organization, or place from which they wish to learn more [MISSING WORD] declares a specific piece of information that they’re seeking to learn, making an Investigation check.
There’s at least one missing word here, because the sentence doesn’t make sense without it. The most likely ideas I have lead to noticeably different interpretations: “and” or “or.”

If it’s “and,” then you must know what kind of information you want to gain from the activity. If it’s “or,” then you might be able to just look for general information, even if you don’t know what you need.

I’m inclined toward “and” because it makes the rules about DC and time costs easier to navigate for the Narrator, but I’m open to being proved wrong.

this reads like an "or" to me. if you need to declare a specific piece of information you want to learn, then specifying a particular individual, event, organization, or place is probably redundant.
