A few fruits
1) A few fruits will be expensive.
2) A few fruits out of season will be expensive.
Can't these sentences have two meanings:
a) Getting a few fruits/a few fruits out of season will be expensive. (A few fruits out of season will be expensive. Maybe we should only get one or two.)
b) There are certain fruits/certain fruits out of season that will be expensive. (A few fruits out of season will be expensive, but the rest of them will be cheap.)
Gratefully,
Navi.
