------------------------------
Is the explanation in #1 correct? What about #2? Does #2 mean #3 or #4 in meaning?

For #3, I'd write this: The school lunch served on Wednesdays is great.

OR maybe this: Friday's school lunches are always awful.

The others are fine.

The explanation in statement #1 is a general statement about the importance of school lunch for children. It does not refer to any specific school lunch or cafeteria.

In statement #2, the person expresses their personal opinion that they like the school lunch very much. This statement does not specify whether it refers to a specific school lunch or a general one. It simply conveys the person's positive sentiment towards school lunch in general.

Statement #3 specifically refers to a specific school lunch, highlighting that it is great. It does not mention the cafeteria or the school.

Statement #4 specifies that the school lunch being referred to is the one served in the cafeteria of a particular school. It suggests that the school lunch provided in that specific cafeteria is great.

In terms of meaning, statement #2 can be interpreted as either statement #3 or statement #4, depending on the context and what the speaker intends to convey.
