Please select one from each pair. It’s for general prefences. I realize that sometimes you might prefer lemonade and other times iced tea or whatever, but consider the choices to be along the lines of you can have one but not both in any given circumstance. It would be great if you would explain why. Answer as many or as few as you like.

1. Cherry Coke or Black Cherry Coke

2. Hillary Clinton or Sir Edmond Hillary

3. New York City or Manhatten
