Things-To-Do: First Set Unit I Module 3 A. My sister asked me a riddle last night. She asked what is it that is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if anyone eats it theyll die. I had no clue what the object is, and she said the answer was nothing. I was very confused as to why nothing was the answer. She explained that nothing is greater than God, nothing is more evil than the devil, the poor have nothing, the rich need nothing and if anyone eats nothing theyll die. After she explained, I reasoned that there was no problem from the beginning at all. She used the word nothing in different meanings, thus it will really be hard for someone to figure out the answer. I also told her that it would be easier if she asked the riddle separately according to how the word nothing is used. C. Lose, Afraid, Over, Enough, Play, Cant Stand D. 10 samples of: a.)

Talented - It is vague because there is no range to measure or limit for one to be considered talented. 2. Entertaining - It is vague because, like the word talented, there is no range to measure or limit for one to consider an object or an event entertaining. 3. Sarcastic - One may find it difficult to figure out if another person is sarcastic or not, and most of the time, misinterpretation of someone being sarcastic or not have led to fights and arguments, so it can be considered as vague. B. 3 Ambiguous Concepts 1. Fine - The word fine has acquired different meanings in different language games, just like the word good, which has become very ambiguous. The word fine may mean one is in good condition; one is feeling normal not too happy and not too sad; and a payment for breaking either an object or a rule.

2. Light - Light is another example of an ambiguous word, it has acquired many different meanings. Some of them are the radiation visible to the eye, an adjective to an object possessing a small amount of mass, and a verb that means to set an object burning. 3. Over - The word over is considered an ambiguous word as well, since it has garnered different meanings in different language games. Some of these meanings are a position which is an object on top of another; and an event coming to or in its end. Unit I Module 6 2 examples of: A. Definitions by Synonyms 1. A road is a pathway. 2.
