Dear teacher,
The makers of antibacterial products are fond of the word "germs." It is purposefully vague. Do they mean bacteria? Viruses? Both? Neither? Because the idea is simply to connote contamination. These products are as much about cooties as they are about viruses or bacteria.
Q : What does "the idea" refer to? I think it means the word "germs". What do you think?
