Question

There is a sentence related to a generic noun.

1. The peeled orange weighs a lot for its size.

[Is 'the peeled orange' in generic use? Or is it the specific peeled orange? There is a water container, and the peeled orange is sinking in the water. Looking at the sinking peeled orange, if somebody says, "The peeled orange weighs a lot for its size," it means the specific peeled orange which was mentioned before. However without the context, it can be used as a generic noun phrase. How about that?]

Answer 1

Yes, your explanation is good!
