TASK DEFINITION: You are given a short paragraph, a question and two choices to answer from. Choose the correct answer based on the paragraph and write the answer(not the key).
PROBLEM: Paragraph: Alkanes with more carbon atoms have higher boiling and melting points, so some of them are solids at room temperature.
 Question: Kathy did some experiments on two different alkanes and one of the alkanes had twice as many carbon atoms than the other. She would notice that which alkane would require a lower temperature to melt 
 Choices: A)alkane with fewer carbon atoms 
B)alkane with more carbon atoms?

SOLUTION: alkane with fewer carbon atoms

PROBLEM: Paragraph: We also saw that adding resistors to a series circuit increases the total resistance of the circuit, causing the current to decrease.
 Question: Mike wants his circuits to be able to have a lower resistance, so that the current increases. In order to do this, he will consider his resistors and 
 Choices: A)increase them 
B)decrease them

SOLUTION: decrease them

PROBLEM: Paragraph: At higher elevations, there is less air to press on a given area.
 Question: If Mona is climbing a mountain and she moves to the top of the mountain, what happens to the air pressure pressing against her skin? 
 Choices: A)increases 
B)decreases

SOLUTION:
decreases
