Several of his children are fighting back.

He has 6 children.

When several is used, i would assume it's more than half of the children.

So, either 4 or 5 of his 6 children are protesting.

Edit: 5 would be most of his children.

It has to be 4.

    i love depicting language this way to decipher meaning but in reality most people don't all abide by the same set of rigid rules that i want them to.

    this is certainly reasonable, though.
