 What is one likely difference between Eddie and Teena?
Still, one clue is as good as another when it comes to hunting uranium ore, I guess. It could start cavities. In fact, anything having to do with atomic science excited him. You couldn’t have a father who was head of the atomic-science department at Oceanview College without picking up a little knowledge along the way. When carefully controlled, the radiation stored up in such isotopes was used in many beneficial ways. One reason for asking that particular question was to keep from prying deeper into the subject of the radioisotope. His father usually volunteered any information he wanted known, so Eddie stuck to questions which could and would be answered. At the speed atomic science is moving today, we simply can’t afford to waste time. It took Eddie over an hour to sort out the newspapers and magazines in the garage, tie them in neat bundles, and place them out on the front curb for the Goodwill pickup. The best way to get there was by rowboat across Moon Bay, and that was too long a row to be starting now. The taffy-colored cocker spaniel yipped wildly over his freedom, racing back and forth as Eddie started down the street. 19 Christina Ross—whom everybody called Teena—lived at the far end of the block. 20 Eddie went inside and followed Teena to the kitchen. They had been ever since Eddie’s family had moved to Oceanview and his father had become head of the college’s atomic-science department. Teena’s father was chief engineer for the Acme Aviation Company, one of the coast town’s largest manufacturing concerns. 22 “Oh, yes, it’s fun, Mother,” Teena replied, wrapping wax paper around a sandwich. A slow clicking came through the earphones, but Eddie knew these indicated no more than a normal background count. There were slight traces of radioactivity in almost all earth or rocks. It was in the air itself, caused by mysterious and ever-present cosmic rays, so there was always a mild background count when the Geiger counter was turned on; but to mean anything, the needle had to jump far ahead on the gauge, and the clicking through the earphones had to speed up until it sounded almost like bacon frying in a hot skillet. After they had hiked and searched most of the forenoon, Eddie said, “We might as well call it a day, Teena. Then he told Teena about his dream. It was midafternoon by the time they arrived back at Teena’s house. They worked a while on a new jigsaw puzzle Teena had received on a recent birthday.
 Teena is not as knowledgeable in science as Eddie.
 Teena is more inspired by her parent(s) than Eddie.  Teena is less intelligent than Eddie.  Teena is not as knowledgeable in science as Eddie.  Teena dislikes science, unlike Eddie.
