If it has or recently (evolutionarily speaking) had wings, it's a pterosaur; there are several that look close enough to pterodactyls that they get lumped together in media. 'pterosaur' is literally 'winged lizard'

I went googling just to see if it was unique enough to find (alas I suspect 'twinkstuffer' was a made up example, not a real one); I'd guess it's in Seattle because a bunch came up in my search, and they were all in Seattle.

Golden rice is an example of a GMO that's actually beneficial to humanity, or would be; anti-GMO sentiment has kept it from being grown in any significant amounts.

It's tweaked to produce vitamin A, which rice normally does not; deficiency is a common problem in places where the poor get most of their calories from rice

I'll have to take a look; I liked the one book, kind of dumb bombastic fun. The FTL followed set paths between planets, which made for good world building

Pterodactyl is a pterosaur, not a dinosaur

Idk what you mean by "emphasis", but there is no difference between proper nouns and common nouns. I mean, there is italics and bold if written digitally. Or underlining it if written on paper.

I THINK THEY'RE ASKING HOW YOU WOULD WRITE SO AS TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SPEAKER IS YELLING
