TASK DEFINITION: You are given a background paragraph that describes one or more causal or qualitative relationships such as a relationship in economics or a scientific law and a story that makes use of the concepts or the relationship described in the provided paragraph. You are also given a question about the story that requires an understanding of the relationship described in the background paragraph and the story. You need to come up with an answer to the given question; the answer will be a span from either the question or the story. In order to correctly answer the given question, you need to understand the relationship mentioned in the background paragraph and should be able to use it to understand that in the story. Your answer can not consist of any word that is not mentioned in any of these: the background paragraph, the story, or the question. You can directly copy and paste a span from the story or the question while answering the given question.
PROBLEM: Background Paragraph: Machines make work easier by increasing the amount of force that is applied, increasing the distance over which the force is applied, or changing the direction in which the force is applied. Contrary to popular belief, machines do not increase the amount of work that is done. They just change how the work is done. So if a machine increases the force applied, it must apply the force over a shorter distance. Similarly, if a machine increases the distance over which the force is applied, it must apply less force. 
Story: John wanted to invent a machine. To that end, he devised an experiment in which he used three components, comp A, comp B, and comp C. Comp A was a machine that applied force over a shorter distance. Comp B was also a machine, but it applied force over a longer distance. Comp C was not a machine. 
Question: Which component would less likely make work easier, comp A or comp C?

SOLUTION: comp C.

PROBLEM: 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. 
Story: 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. 
Question: Will the demand for power be higher or lower in the evening than late at night?

SOLUTION: higher.

PROBLEM: Background Paragraph: For comparison,  sunlight on Saturn is slightly brighter than Earth sunlight at the average sunset or sunrise (see daylight for comparison table). Even on Pluto, the sunlight would still be bright enough to almost match the average living room. To see sunlight as dim as full moonlight on Earth, a distance of about 500 AU (~69 light-hours) is needed; there are only a handful of objects in the Solar System known to orbit farther than such a distance, among them 90377 Sedna and (87269) 2000 OO67. 
Story: John wanted to do a thought experiment. To that end, he started his journey under the full moonlight on Earth. He labeled that as time A. Then he entered his living room. He labeled that as time B. Next he traveled to Saturn. He labeled that as time C. After that, he traveled to Pluto. He labeled that as time D. Then he went to 90377 Sedna. He labeled that as time E. At the end, he returned back to Earth at sunset. He labeled that as time F. 
Question: When the light would be brighter, time C or time time F?

SOLUTION:
time C.
