Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word factoid in its traditional sense? Solution: The second text uses factoid in its traditional sense: something made up presented as a true fact. Jonathan seemed to know a lot about African wildlife, but it turned out that his knowledge was mostly based on factoids gleaned from unreliable websites. The first text uses factoid in its nontraditional sense: a trivial but true fact. Jonathan subscribed to an online newsletter about African wildlife; he enjoyed receiving daily factoids about the wild animals' natural habitats and behavior. Most style guides recommend to use the traditional sense of the word factoid because it is considered more standard.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Astro's phenotype for the coat color trait? Solution: You need to determine Astro's phenotype for the coat color trait. First, consider the alleles in Astro's genotype for the coat color gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a reddish-brown coat (l) is recessive to the allele for a black coat (L). This means L is a dominant allele, and l is a recessive allele. Astro's genotype of Ll has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Astro's phenotype for the coat color trait must be a black coat.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true? Solution: The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller. There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Question: [QUESTION]Which text uses the word literally in its traditional sense? Solution: The second text uses literally in its traditional sense: in a factual, non-exaggerated way. The curry that the chef prepared was so spicy that Julian literally had to drink three glasses of milk to ease the pain. The first text uses literally in its nontraditional sense: nearly or in effect (often exaggerated). Julian's mouth may be in pain, but it is not actually on fire. The curry that the chef prepared was so spicy that Julian's mouth was literally on fire by the time he finished his meal. Most style guides recommend to avoid using the nontraditional sense of the word literally because it is generally considered incorrect.
