Just to make sure, I called my old instructor and asked him about it. and he said TECHNICALLY both explanations are correct, it just depends on how you look at it. after we talked he took the test (i sent him the link) and he got a 100% (go figure) but he DID agree that in the scientific word, either answer would be correct, so really you and I are BOTH right! Thanx for the interesting conversation.

My middle school and high school science teachers spent seven years hammering into my head the fact that "suction" does not exist, only areas of higher and lower pressure. Suction is a layman's term, not a scientific term and therefore not an acceptable answer on a test that measures scientific aptitude.
