True, but that's not how the question is phrased. If every direction you look in is North, then you are, indeed, in Antarctica. It's a completely correct answer, just a less specific one.

I suppose "blood" doesn't really count as a body part, otherwise that would be another thing that looks different between Vulcans and humans.

Seems odd to go with just acting for Reagan. Prior to becoming president, he was also a radio announcer, a commentator for the Chicago Cubs, and an FBI informant, among other things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan#Entertainment_career

Immediately before he got into politics in California, his profession was acting. The other jobs were prior to politics, too, so technically could count. Including his stint as a reserve cavalry officer.

If you're at the South Pole and you look upwards then you're not looking North.

I was going to say something else but I've forgotten what it was. If it was less memorable than my first point then it's probably best left unsaid anyway.

I wouldn't think so, because while they belonged to kingdoms, they were not, themselves, kingdoms. There was no Kingdom of Florida, or Kingdom of Louisiana, but there was a Kingdom of Hawai'i.

Friars (e.g. Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians) also wear habits and are not monks or nuns.

In fact, I believe that some religious orders like the Passionists are neither monks nor friars but still wear habits. The best answer here might be "a religious brother or sister", although there are some orders which don't wear habits (e.g. the Jesuits).
