In the sentence "The lunchroom tables were clean except for some plates and napkins," the word that should be replaced with precise language is:
D. Some.
- "Some" is an imprecise word in the sense that it does not indicate a specific quantity.
- If I say there are some people in the room, how many people do I mean? Two? Six?
- Therefore, "some" is the word in the sentence that could be replaced with precise language.
- We could, for example, actually say the numbers of plates and napkins left on the tables:
"The lunchroom tables were clean except for three plates and a couple of napkins."
