I see Richard beat me to it, which was nice.

Jacqueline: how do you give a mobile user on android the ability to
select a range of text versus just a word?

On Android, a long press selects the word and adds drag indicators at both ends (just like iOS) so you can extend the selection. Easier, long press and drag to select a range of text.

In Marshmallow, Android changed the selection behavior to select whole words at a time while dragging which improves accuracy a lot. If you do only want part of a word, use the drag handles.
