Okay...
I have an object in mind; it's... mineral.
(1) is it mined?
(1) yes (or pedantically, no)
(Arewn, fyi, "mineral" means anything that isn't animal or vegetable; it can be an object made of stone or metal, a compound such as iron oxide (rust) or pretty much any mechanical artefact. In this case, I'm thinking of an object - the material it's made of is mined, but the object itself is manufactured...)
(2) is it metal?
(2) Yes
(3) is it bigger than a shoebox? (say approx size 7?!)
(3) Yes. ( Although I know of people who use a shoebox instead... </cryptic>
(4) Is it a 'tool', i.e. something manipulated to perform a task? (I'm thinking computer)
(4) No.
(5)is it found in the home?
(5) Generally No, but I have two in my house.
(6) is found on a residential property just not usually in the house?
