Some materials are strongly attracted to an ordinary magnet and others are not. Do not assume every metal behaves the same. Use the fictional test observations here, not an untested guess about a sample.

Worked example

A test records attraction for A and none detected for B. That supports the result for A under the test, not a rule that all shiny things attract.
