Example Input: Question: John was playing with alkanes in his lab. If he increased the amount of carbon atoms in an alkane, what would happen to the boiling point of that alkane? 
 Answer: increase
Example Output: Alkanes with more carbon atoms have higher boiling and melting points, so some of them are solids at room temperature.

Example Input: Question: Megan had two charged metal balls that she was analyzing. If she increases the charge of the balls, the electrostatic force between them 
 Answer: increases
Example Output: The more charged the objects are, the stronger the electrostatic force between them.
