scope is an area affected or an area of controll
or the state of the environment in which a situation exists

ie:
      n 1: an area in which something acts or operates or has power or
         control: "the range of a supersonic jet"; "a piano has a
         greater range than the human voice"; "the ambit of
         municipal legislation"; "within the compass of this
         article"; "within the scope of an investigation"; "outside
         the reach of the law"; "in the political orbit of a world
         power" [syn: {scope}, {range}, {reach}, {orbit}, {compass},
         {ambit}]
      2: the state of the environment in which a situation exists;
         "you can't do that in a university setting" [syn: {setting},
         {background}, {scope}]
      3: a magnifier of images of distant objects [syn: {telescope},
         {scope}]
      4: electronic equipment that provides visual images of varying
         electrical quantities [syn: {oscilloscope}, {scope},
         {cathode-ray oscilloscope}, {CRO}]
                                                                                
                                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                         oscilloscope},
                                                                                
                                                                    {CRO}]
