4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

Strawberries

I think cashew can also be a correct answer to this question.

[bluejeangirl76]

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

Strawberries

I think cashew can also be a correct answer to this question.

They're both right, yep!
But the question was about fruit only. Cashew is a nut.

[S2M]

Strawberries is a WRONG answer.

Answers are Pineapples, and Cashews(technically)....

[bluejeangirl76]

Pineapple seeds appear on the flowers, not on the outside of the fruit.

Strawberry seeds appear on the outside of the fruit.

[S2M]

Pineapple seeds appear on the flowers, not on the outside of the fruit.

Strawberry seeds appear on the outside of the fruit.

What most people call seeds on the outside of the strawberry fruit are actually
the true fruits. Technically, they are achenes. In an achene, the single seed is
enclosed by the ovary wall. A sunflower fruit is also an achene.

[Don]

Strawberries is a WRONG answer.

Answers are Pineapples, and Cashews(technically)....

The seed is in the Achenes( the dried fruit) which is on the outside of the Strawberry fruit.

[bluejeangirl76]

Sorrie, professer I gess I misst that day at skool.

[Rick]

Strawberries is a WRONG answer.

Answers are Pineapples, and Cashews(technically)....

Cashews are a fruit?

[S2M]

Strawberries is a WRONG answer.

Answers are Pineapples, and Cashews(technically)....

The seed is in the Achenes( the dried fruit) which is on the outside of the Strawberry fruit.

Technically, in the manner in which the question was posed. If the achene IS the fruit, and the seed is in the Achene....then it can ONLY follow that the seed is on the INSIDE. Learn how to formulate a sound syllogism, please....

a) The Achene IS the fruit
b) The seed resides INSIDE the Achene

c) Therefore, the seed is on the INSIDE of the fruit.

THE ANSWERS

7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar. Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

15.The interrobang.





The interrobang (‽) is a rarely used, English-language punctuation mark intended to combine the functions of a question mark and an exclamation point.
For example: "They did WHAT at MR fest II‽"

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

Strawberries

I think cashew can also be a correct answer to this question.

They're both right, yep!
But the question was about fruit only. Cashew is a nut.

Now wait a minute, I think Cashew is a fruit (the yellow part), and the seed attached to it is the nut. Now if you detached the seed and crack it open and the inside part makes a cashew nut.
