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 need to come up with a question about the story that requires an understanding of the relationship described in the background paragraph. The generated question should not be answerable without both the background and story. Write a question about the story that requires a relationship in the background paragraph to answer. Check whether your question requires both the background paragraph and the story to answer. If your question can be answered by only one of these, try to rewrite your question so that it requires both. Note that "flipping" a word in the question can give rise to a new question where the answer will be different from the original question. Often, "flipping" a word gives rise to flipping the direction of the relationship, for example, from "increase" to "decrease."

Q: Background Paragraph: Light may transfer its energy to matter rather than being reflected or transmitted by matter. This is called absorption . When light is absorbed, the added energy increases the temperature of matter. If you get into a car that has been sitting in the sun all day, the seats and other parts of the car’s interior may be almost too hot to touch, especially if they are black or very dark in color. That’s because dark colors absorb most of the sunlight that strikes them. 
Story: Marcus is going for a walk outside. He is wearing a black shirt and notices it feels very hot to him. His friend Adam joins him shortly after. Adam is wearing a white shirt and expressed to Adam how nice it is outside. He doesn't feel nearly as hot as Marcus.

A: Given Marcus' changes into a yellow shirt, will this new shirt absorb more or less energy than his original black shirt?

Q: Background Paragraph: Our knowledge of electromagnets developed from a series of observations. In 1820, Hans Oersted discovered that a current-carrying wire produced a magnetic field. Later in the same year, André-Marie Ampere discovered that a coil of wire acted like a permanent magnet and François Arago found that an iron bar could be magnetized by putting it inside of a coil of current-carrying wire. Finally, William Sturgeon found that leaving the iron bar inside the coil greatly increased the magnetic field. 
Story: Mark is doing an experiment creating a magnet. He takes a piece of iron named iron bar A and wraps it in a coil of copper wire. After that he puts an electric current through the copper for about an hour.

A: Given Mark disconnects and unwraps the copper wire, will the magnetic strength of the iron bar have increased or decreased?

Q: Background Paragraph: Mantle melting can come about three ways: (1) when the temperature rises, (2) if the pressure lowers (which lowers the melting point), and (3) if water is added, which lowers the melting point. Two of these (1 and 3) might explain why there are volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries: the temperature of the subducting plate increases as it sinks into the hot mantle (1). Sediments lying on top of the subducting plate contain water. As the sediments subduct, the water rises into the overlying mantle material. This lowers the melting temperature of the mantle (3). When the mantle above the subducting plate melts, volcanoes form above it. This leads to volcanoes in an island arc or continental arc. 
Story: Ben and Mike both studied earthquakes, while Mike was more interested specifically in mantle melting and related phenomena.

A:
Which person didn't learn about lowering the melting temperature of the mantle?
