A: For a restaurant you need something more colorful and descriptive than "scope" and "quality", which sounds more like a project than a place to eat. Here are some nice descriptions of restaurants: https://la.eater.com/maps/best-los-angeles-restaurants-eater-38

A: It means the thing is not that good or that great - there are many ways in which it could be improved.

1. **Project Scope**: "We need to clearly define the scope of the project to ensure we meet our objectives."

3. **Within Scope**: "The additional tasks you're asking for fall outside the scope of our current agreement."

4. **Expanding the Scope**: "The research team decided to expand the scope of their study to include more variables."

6. **Limited Scope**: "This audit will be of limited scope, focusing only on the last fiscal year."

9. **Scope Out**: "Before starting the project, it's important to scope out the potential challenges and resources needed."

10. **Beyond the Scope**: "Answering legal questions is beyond the scope of my expertise as a financial consultant."

The word "scope" in these sentences is used to describe the extent, range, or breadth of something, such as a project, influence, study, or professional practice.

A: Previously we only studied America. The study will be broader in scope, including people from all countries.
Before we only studied mathematics. Our research is now broader in scope, including science and mathematics.
Can you make your project broader in scope? Instead of just learning about dogs, learn about dogs, cats, and birds.

A: Let's go scope out the building site tonight

A: Scope can refer to a scope/ special camera for surgery (they use it to view inside the body) or you can "scope something out" meaning to check it out, but adults mostly use it this way than kids do

A: meaning 1: to inspect and evaluate

"The students scoped out a good baseball field to film their video project in."


meaning 2: range

"Trying to interview all Americans who watch TV is too broad of a scope."

(the scope/range here is every american who watches television, which is a huge chunk of the population!)

A: I think you're looking for the figurative definition of 'scope' and 'realm' not the literal, right? In this case, they can be interchangeable. For example: "perfect models lie in the realm of mathematics" and "perfect models are seen under the scope of mathematics." Both mean the same thing in essence.

A: Scope is usually a broad term. The examples that come to mind are "there is a broad scope of different restaurants in the area", or "there is a narrow scope of opportunity to qualify for the job"

Scale is usually speaking of something specific. "This picture is drawn to scale", "the scale of intensity varies". There are instances that scale will be use to describe a non-specific subject but it usually occurs in sentences such as "in the grand scale of things, the pop quiz did not matter".

This is difficult to answer, though, because there are exceptions! I would say it varies depending on the context.

A: Scope can mean to search or zoom in
Extent means limit
Range means distance that something can go

A: Hello Mr.lukasz,
I try to pitch in a little more explanation and provide some examples.

Primary meaning:
1.The state of the environment in which a situation exists

2.An area in which something acts or operates or has power or control. It can be the width/extent/depth of a project or responsibilities. (This is usually what we see the similarity between scope and range, the feeling is a tad different though).
Example:
Business people like to use the word scope because it specifies the extent of their responsibilities. Once you know the scope of a project, you can decide if you're qualified and how much time it will take to do it.

Example 2:
Both Nato and the Americans may need to rethink the scope of their mission with some urgency.

2.A magnifier of images of distant objects
Example:

:: The system uses laser marking of a target, and a spotter can actually spot the target and apparently see the same image as the rifle scope targeting module through a localized WIFI network and smartphone.

3.Electronic equipment that provides visual images of varying electrical quantities
We see a 'scope' in: CRO, cathode-ray oscilloscope, oscilloscope. It's displayed on-screen monitor.

==================
Range
Primary Meaning:
1.A variety of different things or activities.
Example:
Kitchenware companies are rolling out products ranging from grill tools and cast iron griddles to small blowtorches.

2.A large tract of grassy, open land on which livestock can graze.
Example:
They used to drive the cattle across the open range every spring.

3.A series of hills or mountains
Example:
On 20 November, satellites captured this image of fresh snow that had fallen along the Himalayan range in central Asia.

4.A place for shooting (firing or driving) projectiles of various kinds
Example:
Any good golf club will have a range where you can practice.
( I imagine a shooting practice range)

In conclusion,
Scope usually has a goal, specific depth/width/range of a subject. It has usually (a) start(s) and endpoint(s).
Scope is also a device used to view something very far away more easily, by magnifying it.
Range refers to an area in which something operates. It focuses on the Area or the Variety of the subjects/endpoints.

Hope this helps ^_^.

A: Scope often means the depth of the subject.
Range refers to the breadth.

But the word "scope" is sometimes used in the same manner as "range", so the distinction is not very strong.

For example, imagine you are sitting in an English language classroom and the teacher says the following:

"Hello and welcome to the class. In this class we will discuss a range of topics such as grammar, vocabulary, literature, and the evolution of the English language itself. However, advanced topics such as technical documentation are beyond the scope of this class."

A: This answer might be useful.

A: " to my understanding" is more formal and can sound unnatural if used colloquially without the right intonation, but it's not wrong.
to be safe you can add "according" and it'll sound more natural. "according to my understanding. .."

A: 2番目の方がいい

A: Probably the first one.

But "expand the horizon of knowledge" isn't too bad either.
