  2. The verb "take" can mean "remove" or it can mean "move" or it can mean "accept".

Qa) Can I say that "can" in sentence 1) relates to a particular use of the verb in question, whose context – when established – will quickly resolve the issue of interpretation?

Qb) Can I say that "can" in sentence 2) would be a general statement of possible meanings, not related to any specific context?

Note: I know the meaning of "can" is the same in 1) and 2). I’m just concerned about the two conclusions above.
