offered.
Examples:
-
"Everyone who likes chicken best stands over here, and people who like fish best stand over there, and people who
like them both the same stand in the middle."
-
"Everyone who likes to read stories stands here, those who would rather watch TV stand there, and if you like both
the same, stand here."
-
" If you enjoy playing alone stand here; if you enjoy playing with one or two others, stand there and if you enjoy
playing in a group best, stand here."
