Definition: You are given a background paragraph that describes one or more causal or physical relationships, such as a relationship in economics, scientific law, or nature. You need to come up with a fictional story that makes use of the concepts or the relationship described in the provided paragraph. Make sure that your story does not repeat the relation in the given paragraph (e.g., by avoiding verbatim copies of the given paragraph). Start by reading the background paragraph, and determine what relationship(s) are in the paragraph. Write a story that involves the relationship(s) that you determined are in the background paragraph. Try to use your own words as much as possible and not repeat the background paragraph. Feel free to make up places and events as long as they tie back to the background paragraph in a way that you can ask a question about.

Positive Example 1 -
Input: Background Paragraph: A rise in price of a good or service almost always decreases the quantity demanded of that good or service. Conversely, a fall in price will increase the quantity demanded. When the price of a gallon of gasoline increases, for example, people look for ways to reduce their consumption by combining several errands, commuting by carpool or mass transit, or taking weekend or vacation trips closer to home. Economists call this inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded the law of demand. The law of demand assumes that all other variables that affect demand (which we explain in the next module) are held constant.
Output: The AAA auto club does a weekly report on the prices of gas and diesel in various cities. Historically, the prices have be fairly stagnant, but this week their report garnered widespread attention as the prices of gas and diesel plunged from last week in Seattle by $0.40 each. However, just across the border in Vancouver, the cost of gas went up dramatically by $0.50.

Positive Example 2 -
Input: Background Paragraph: The lesson is not that society is likely to make an extreme choice like devoting no resources to education at point A or no resources to health at point F. Instead, the lesson is that the gains from committing additional marginal resources to education depend on how much is already being spent. If on the one hand, very few resources are currently committed to education, then an increase in resources used can bring relatively large gains. On the other hand, if a large number of resources are already committed to education, then committing additional resources will bring relatively smaller gains.
Output: The state is deciding where to spend the rest of their budget for education. In an analysis of how districts in the state are spending their annual budgets, auditors found that in district A, most of the money was already being spent on schools. However, in district B, the money was not spent on school, but mostly on transportation.

Now complete the following example -
Input: Background Paragraph: Alberta's electrical demand varies throughout the day and across the seasons. When individuals are fixing supper and using home appliances, demand for power goes up, as it does during heat waves and cold snaps. It tapers off during spring and fall. Like other mechanical devices, generators fail from time to time. If they are wind-powered, their output varies with the wind.

Carl is in charge of a power generation station in Alberta. He is tasked with turning on or off certain generators in instances of high or low demand (High demand would require more generators to be turned on, and low turned off). There are various occasions that Carl has to be vigilant for, such as various times of the day; early morning, dinner time, late night. Weather conditions also play a roll, such as; colder weather, hot weather, or moderate weather. He also must be aware of wind conditions, as some of the power is garnered from wind power.

His task is to turn on generators in times of high power demand, and to turn off generators at times of low power demand. He tries to remain as efficient as possible. Recently, the area has experienced record cold temperatures on Monday and Tuesday. By the weekend however, the temperature returned to normal, and Friday and Saturday the temperature was very moderate and spring like.

Horus works at the power plant in Alberta. He is charged with varying which generators to turn on for various power demands. His boss has informed him that he wants Horus to be as efficient as possible, and to only use the generators when needed, otherwise to have them off. Horus has been trained to recognize different conditions, such as hot temperatures, cold temperatures, moderate weather, and time of the day, such as late at night, early mornings, or the evenings, as all having different power demands.

On Sunday, another cold snap happened.

Steve is in charge of turning on and off power generators for Alberta's electrical service. He has been tasked to turn off generators when demand is low, and turn on more generators when demand is high. He has been told by supervisors to be aware of several different conditions which could effect demand. Some of them are, the temperature or weather conditions, time of day, or even the particular season could effect the demands. Steve has been tasked with being as efficient as possible, and to not run extra generators when not needed, and to be sure to turn on additional ones when demand warrants it.

Tony is in charge of a power station in Alberta. He has been tasked with turning on and off generators depending on the demand for power.
