What is the meaning of #1? Does #1 mean #2 or #3?
Or does #1 mean #4?
They all mean about the same. But 1 is the best.
Thank you.
Did she become "very famous" or did she become "famous"?
It could be either famous or very famous.
famous is famous....i think the adjective "very" is just not necessary
To determine the meaning of the statements #1, #2, #3, and #4, let's break them down:
1. "She became very rich and famous."
This statement implies that she achieved both wealth and fame. It can be interpreted to mean that she achieved wealth, which led to her becoming famous, or that she achieved fame, which led to her becoming wealthy.
2. "She became very rich and very famous."
In this statement, the use of the word "very" emphasizes the intensity or extent of both her wealth and fame. It conveys that she attained a high level of both.
3. "She became very rich and she became very famous."
This statement explicitly indicates that she became rich and famous. The repetition of "she became" emphasizes the separate nature of her achievements in wealth and fame.
4. "She became very rich and she became famous."
Similar to statement #3, this statement explicitly communicates that she achieved both wealth and fame, without the added emphasis of "very."
In conclusion, statement #1 could be interpreted as either meaning #2 or #3, as there is ambiguity in the order or cause-and-effect relationship between her wealth and fame. It does not directly correspond to statement #4, which places equal importance on both her wealth and fame without specifying the degree.
