Hello, teachers!!

I read a certain grammer book and found the following sentence.

You can choose whichever you like.
----->
There are some items, aren't there? May I get all the items if I was told the sentence above? Or can I have only one?

Thank you in advance.

It can mean choose one or more than one. The context would help you decide.
