Question about using 'or' and 'and'
When 'or' or 'and' are used in questions, i always wonder what idea does the question infer. For example,
When considering your university education,should you follow the wishes of your parents or be guided by your friends?
Is the question asking my choice between following parents' wishes and following guidances of friends or is it asking should we follow the wishes of parents and the guidances of friends?
Please help! Thanks a lot!
