            brakeAndPedal: "🏆 Perfect! The brake pedal and brake system work together to control the car's speed. You nailed it!",
            justBrake: "🎯 YES! The brakes! You got it exactly right! The brake system is what slows down and stops the car!",
            wheelTire: "👍 You're thinking about where the braking happens - at the wheels! The brake system applies pressure there.",
            pedal: "🦶 Good! You're thinking about pedals. Which specific pedal controls stopping?",
            general: "🤔 What component do you think actually does the slowing down in a car?"

            perfect: "🎯 Perfect! You know about the clutch! That's exactly what I was thinking of - the component that helps with smooth gear changes!",
            transmission: "🔧 Excellent! You're thinking about the transmission system. The clutch is the part that connects and disconnects the engine from the gearbox!",
            separate: "👍 Yes! You understand the separation concept - that's exactly what the clutch does!",
            different: "💡 Good observation! You're noticing that clutch and brake do different things. That's key insight!",
            engineTransmission: "🚗 Excellent! You're thinking about the engine and transmission connection - that's exactly what the clutch controls!",
            general: "🤔 The clutch is quite different from the brake. What do you think it might do instead of slowing down?"
        },
        trafficLight: {
            clutchNeutral: "🚦 Perfect! You understand that something allows the engine to keep running while the car is stopped!",
            disconnect: "💡 Exactly! Something disconnects the wheels from the engine so it can keep running while stopped!",
            brakePark: "🛑 You're thinking about stopping the car, which is important! But I'm thinking of how the engine can keep running while the wheels aren't moving."
