PROBLEM: Background Paragraph: Type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when body cells no longer respond normally to insulin. The pancreas still makes insulin, but the cells of the body can’t use it. Being overweight and having high blood pressure increase the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes usually develops in adulthood. However, it is becoming more common in teens and children because more young people are overweight now than ever before. 
Story: The Jones family and the Bell family both entered a medical study for diabetes.The members of Jones family had mostly type 1 diabetes, while Bell family members had type 2 diabetes because they ate junk-food. 
Question: Which family had fewer members with body cells no longer responding normally to insulin?

SOLUTION: Jones.

PROBLEM: Background Paragraph: The water level is seasonal, being lowered by about 10 feet (3.0 m) over the winter. The reservoir fills in the spring from snow melt and underground springs. The lake is usually at full level by late spring, but in the occasional years of low snow melt and low rainfall, it may remain up to several feet below its typical level. Water is let out of the lake in the fall so that ice will not damage docks and other structures around the lake. This also leads to excellent water quality, as a significant portion of the water is replaced every year. 
Story: Bob has been wanting to go on vacation to the nearest lake in his area. He prefers to go to the lake when it is at it's highest level. He doesn't want to go during the summer, and has decided he must choose between the fall, and the spring for the best temperatures. 
Question: Will the fall or the spring more than likely have a lower water level?

SOLUTION: fall.
