does the range of few include 0?

is the range of few statements 0-49? can you assume if a statement says few a are b then at least one a is b? or is it possible that no a are b?

Few implies at least one. If we need to contemplate zero, they will say something like few or none.

Hey there,

Great question! "Few" is definitely a tricky word to define when it comes to quantity. The dictionary definition of few is “not many but more than one.” Meaning the only quantity we know for certain is that there are at least two. We don't necessarily know "few" stops at any particular number.

Hope that helps!

Few implies some for LSAT.

I would say that "few" would not include zero. For the following reasons: Firstly, from my understanding, logically a "few" implies that "some" are, but "most are not". With that being said, "some" has a logical range of 1-100 (100 being All). So, you would have to have at least one of the said things to meet that definition. Secondly, and not to sound redundant, we know that the negation of "some" is "none". Just another piece of evidence to back our claim. I hope this is not confusing and I was able to help.
