Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Background Paragraph: Saturated hydrocarbons are given the general name of alkanes . The name of specific alkanes always ends in - ane . The first part of the name indicates how many carbon atoms each molecule of the alkane has. The smallest alkane is methane. It has just one carbon atom. The next largest is ethane, with two carbon atoms. The chemical formulas and properties of methane, ethane, and several other alkanes are listed in Table below . The boiling and melting points of alkanes are determined mainly by the number of carbon atoms they have. Alkanes with more carbon atoms generally have higher boiling and melting points. 
Story: Scientists are performing experiments on two different alkanes, Dipophane and Jothane. The scientists put each alkane into a beaker and begin heating each one at the same time to see which will melt first. During this experiment it is discovered that Dipophane melts before Jothane does.
Output (English): Is Jothane larger or smaller than Dipophane?
