Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Background Paragraph: In nature, when the population size is small, there is usually plenty of food and other resources for each individual. When there is plenty of food and other resources, organisms can easily reproduce, so the birth rate is high. As the population increases, the food supply, or the supply of another necessary resource, may decrease. When necessary resources, such as food, decrease, some individuals will die. Overall, the population cannot reproduce at the same rate, so the birth rates drop. This will cause the population growth rate to decrease. 
Story: two countries of similar natural resources had different populations. Italy had a small population, while Spain had a very large population. 
Question: Which country had a higher mortality?
Output (English): Spain.
