Question

Which word has'sense' but lacks reference?
(a)Rather
(b)Whole
(c) Chair
(d) Furniture

Answer 1

I think whole........

Answer 2

The reference of a word can be elaborated as the connection between the linguistic term and the unit in the existent world to which the word refers. In comparison to reference, sense is described as the relations limited to expressions in the language arrangement. Thus, when we define it simply, there are the expressions that contain a sense and are abstract. Moreover, they are not present or referent in the actual world.

Therefore, from the above description of the two, I infer that the word that carries sense but lacks reference is:

option (a)- Rather. This is so because all the other words can be utilized to depict the reference in the existent world.
