Have you ever been to the ocean? Any ocean will do. Being at the ocean in this context means either being in a boat on the ocean or being on a beach close enough to touch or be in the water if you desired.

I have been to the ocean.
I have flown over an ocean in a plane but have never been close on the ground.
I have been to a state, province etc that borders an ocean but never made an attempt to go closer.

Which bodies of water have you swum in or boated on? [If you’ve only been on one which is a smaller portion of a bigger one just vote for the smaller one]
Nagging is when you ask someone repeatedly to do something and they have shown no inclination to do it
Nagging is when you ask someone repeatedly to do something as they are already doing it, or right about to do it - or asking multiple times within a very short time, ie., 3 times in 2 minutes
Nagging is neither - rather, it’s about the tone. If you ask in a good tone, nothing is nagging; if you ask with an abrasive or irritating tone, it’s all nagging
You are living in a future Orwellian right-wing dystopic regime. Some government researcher has invented a lie-detector machine that is somewhat more accurate than polygraphs - although only about 80%. The regime announces that all citizens will be tested for ‘true patriotism’ and loyalty to The Glorious And Greatest-Ever Leader, Donald J. Trump. Any citizens who fail to register an adequate level of love for Trump, or who register high feelings of revulsion towards Trump, will face unspecified “consequences.” In the interest of reducing the workload of the regime’s psychology bureau, however, citizens who pass the test will never be required to take it again - this isn’t an annual thing.
You are hooked up to the machine and told that you did not pass. Regime officials decide, however, to give you one more try - you will be put in solitary confinement and given 7 days to work up the appropriate feelings for Trump, after which you will be administered the lie-detector test for the second and final time.
How screwed are you?
Ehhhhhhh…I MIGHT be able to make myself pass…a very slim chance
