Emek and Luna followed a forest trail to their campsite. Their first clue said to pass the taller of two trees, so they compared them and chose the tall pine tree. Next, two logs lay across a small stream. They crossed on the shorter log. At the next turn, they saw two rocks. Remembering the final clue, they chose the smaller rock and followed the path beside it. Soon, they found their campsite.

Hint
Think about what they compared at each part of the trail.
Luna says, "We crossed on the shorter log, so it must also have been the smaller rock." Is Luna correct?
Yes, because shorter and smaller always describe the same object.No, because the logs and rocks were different objects.Yes, because they chose both objects on the same trail.No, because they crossed on the taller log.Correct! The shorter log and the smaller rock were from two different comparisons.
