Vocabulary
qualifications and reservations
I'm studying my English workbook and I had a problem understanding it.
In the book, 'reservations' is explained in my language it means 'If you have reservations about something, you are not sure that it is entirely good or right." but I'm not sure if this is the case.
I'd like to know what do 'qualifications' and 'reservations' mean.
Emotional Responses to Fictional Characters
Closely related to the debate over readers’ conceptions of fictional characters is the question of the nature of the emotions that readers experience in response to fiction. Many of the philosophers and literary scholars who allow for the possibility of significant emotional response to fiction, do so with qualifications and reservations about the nature of the types of emotions that fiction can generate.
The book extracted the essay from : http://blogs.helsinki.fi/hes-eng/volumes/volume-5/believable-fictions-on-the-nature-of-emotional-responses-to-fictional-characters-howard-sklar

b. is the meaning you told me to look at but I was wondering if there's a possibility it is u

James HwangI'm not sure why oxford dictionary is not explaining about meaning a.Often, different dictionaries focus on different aspects of a word's meaning.
James HwangIs it because both a. and b. means almost the same to natives?There's certainly overlap, but I'm still sticking with the OED's explanations; "reservation"
