Preservation of structure in model theory

Solution 1:

Strictly speaking the latter (narrower) version is correct, and the term "reflects" is used for the dual notion. So, for example, surjective homomorphisms preserve but do not necessarily reflect universally-quantified equations, and general homomorphisms preserve but do not necessarily reflect relations.

That said, the conflation of "preserves" and "preserves and reflects" is fairly common (unfortunately, I would argue).
