Q: Background Paragraph: Storing large volumes of data – When storing XML to either file or database, the volume of data a system produces can often exceed reasonable limits, with a number of detriments: the access times go up as more data is read, CPU load goes up as XML data takes more power to process, and storage costs go up. By storing XML data in Fast Infoset format, data volume may be reduced by as much as 80 percent. 
Story: Paula had a busy day storing XML. At 4 AM, he stored 222 Gigabytes to the database. At 5 AM, he stored 333 Gigabytes to the database. At 6 AM, he stored 444 Gigabytes to the database. At 7 AM, he got breakfast. At 8 AM, he stored 555 Gigabytes to the database. At 9 AM, he stored 666 Gigabytes to the database. At 10 AM, he went to sleep to finish storing XML later at night. 
Question: What time did CPU load go up: 4 AM or 10 AM?

A: 4 AM.

Q: Background Paragraph: In the U.S., the majority of electricity is produced by burning coal or other fossil fuels. This causes air pollution that harms the health of living things. The air pollution also causes acid rain and contributes to global warming. In addition, fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources, so if we keep using them, they will eventually run out. The main advantage of nuclear energy is that it doesn’t release air pollution or cause the other environmental problems associated with the burning of fossil fuels. On the other other hand, radioactive elements are nonrenewable like fossil fuels and could eventually be used up. 
Story: The U.S. produces its energy using fossil fuels, while Germany uses nuclear power plants as their main energy source. The two countries impact the environment in different ways. 
Question: Which country contributes more to global warming?

A: The U.S.
