Context:
There is an optional argument that allows for the definition of the positional indicator to
multiple places (i.e. "take the second through the fourth pieces" would be indicated by
replacing the positional indicator with "2,4").
"de la segunda a la cuarta, incluida la tercera"
o
"únicamente segunda y cuarta"
It's a bit tricky. Is it the third included? or is it just talking about the second and the fourth?
What do you think? Thanks in advance.
