Answer the following questions. A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan that is powered by electricity. It is hung from the ceiling. The major part of the fan is the rotating paddle that is used to circulate air. The fans rotate much more slowly than a desk fan because the paddlers are much bigger. They cool people effectively by rotating the still, hot air of a room. Different from air conditioners, fans do not directly change the temperature. Some ceiling fans have an adjustable blade pitch instead of a reversible motor. Can we change "some" with "most" or "all"? What do the sentences mean then?

Pembahasan

Soal ini menanyakan apakah bisa mengganti Some dengan Most dan All, lalu apa arti dari kalimat tersebut? Dalam teks tertulis " Some ceiling fans have an adjustable blade pitch instead of a reversible motor. " yang artinya " Kebanyakan kipas dinding memiliki blade pitch yang bisa disesuaikan, bukan mesin reversibel." (paragraf 2) Some digunakan untuk menunjuk benda jamak yang artinya 'beberapa' dengan kata laintidak mendominasi dari segi jumlah. Most digunakan untuk menunjuk benda jamak yang artinya 'kebanyakan' dengan kata lain mendominasi dari segi jumlah. All digunakan untuk menunjuk benda jamak yang artinya 'semua' dengan kata lain mencakup semua benda yang menjadi subjek dan objek kalimat. Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang tepat adalah: Yes, we can. If we change 'some' with 'most' or 'all', the meaning of the sentences will be different from the information given in the text. - If we change the quantifier with 'most', it means that almost all or the majority of the ceiling fans have adjustable blade pitch. -If we change the quantifier with 'all', the sentence means that all ceiling fans have adjustable blade pitch and there none that has reversible motor.
