How it's used
Focuses specifically on the extent or degree of change rather than a physical distance or a range of options. It is frequently paired with verbs related to change or movement, such as 調整 or 變動. Unlike general words for scope, this implies a measurable difference between two points.
Examples
The range of this price increase is huge.
Do you think the scope of the adjustment is enough?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a physical range of motion or a variety of choices, as it is almost exclusively used for quantitative changes in statistics, prices, or levels.
