Teacher:Given the Question and Answer pair, detect whether the answer is acceptable or not. Denote acceptable answer as "yes", otherwise denote as "no". An acceptable answer is consistent with the context in question, detailed, long, and uses general knowledge of English. Answers that are not definite and suggest a variety of options are not acceptable answers.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: It is quite easy to separate preferences, and configuration, but options, and settings have much similar meaning; So similar,in fact, that I can't pick one over another. Could you please describe the meaning of these two words? What is it common between them, and what is it different? I have removed "software UI" from the title, as it seems to lead answers off topic. I'm genuinely interested in subtle difference in meaning of named words.
Answer: Options refers to things you may choose;you may select one over another. So, the options you chose are "preferences". Settings mostly implies the "context" that the options you chose are in and is more like configuration. E.g; Color is "setting"; red, green, blue e.t.c are options. Font is "setting"; Arial, Times New roman are options. Settings: color, font.
