For example, for the display and the sen- tence in Figure 1 (There are more COVID cases in ___ than ___ ), putting Teakley County in the first blank and Hawkton County in the second blank indicates a cardinal interpretation, whereas putting Hawkton County in the first blank and Teakley County in the second blank indicates a proportional interpretation.	cache/elm-5394.pdf	txt/elm-5394.txt
