In this paper, I argue that the ‘ambiguity’ between mention-all and mention-some readings of questions can be resolved when we relate it to the decision problem of the questioner. By relating questions to decision problems, I (i) show how we can measure the utilities of both mention-all and mention-some readings of questions, and (ii) give a natural explanation under which circumstances the mention-some reading is preferred.
