instruction:
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.

Background Paragraph: Storing large volumes of data When storing XML to either file or database, the volume of data a system produces can often exceed reasonable limits, with a number of detriments: the access times go up as more data is read, CPU load goes up as XML data takes more power to process, and storage costs go up. By storing XML data in Fast Infoset format, data volume may be reduced by as much as 80 percent.
Story: Gary had a lot of storing to do on his computer. At 1 PM, he stored 1 Gigabyte of XML data to the main file. At 2 PM, he stored 2 Gigabytes of XML data to the main file. At 3 PM, he didn't store anything. At 4 PM, he stored 3 Gigabytes of XML data to the main file. At 5 PM, he stored 4 Gigabytes of XML data to the main file. At 6 PM, he did nothing. At 7 PM, he got dinner. At 8 PM, he stored 5 Gigabytes of XML data to the main file. He went to sleep at 9 PM and had to start again in the morning.
Question: What hour did storage costs go up: 2 PM or 6 PM?
answer:
2 PM.

question:
Background Paragraph: When you add sugar to a cold drink, you may stir it to help the sugar dissolve. If you don't stir, the sugar may eventually dissolve, but it will take much longer. Stirring is one of several factors that affect how fast a solute dissolves in a solvent. Temperature is another factor. A solid solute dissolves faster at a higher temperature. For example, sugar dissolves faster in hot tea than in ice tea. A third factor that affects the rate of dissolving is the surface area of the solute. For example, if you put granulated sugar in a glass of ice tea, it will dissolve more quickly than the same amount of sugar in a cube. That's because granulated sugar has much more surface area than a cube of sugar. You can see videos of all three factors at these URLs.
Story: Greg is is a chef. Last night, he was in his kitchen preparing foods for the guests. First, he made some lemonade. In trial one he added some honey in it and stirred it, but in trial two he didn't stir it. Then he made some coffee. In trial three he added hot water in it, but in trial four he added cold water in it. Finally, he made some soup. In trial five he added fine grain salt in it, but in trial six he added coarse salt in it.
Question: In which trial the soup would be prepared faster, trial five or trial six?
answer:
trial five.

Background Paragraph: Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. Air bubbles are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue.

Small amounts of regular ice appear to be white because of air bubbles inside them and also because small quantities of water appear to be colourless. In glaciers, the pressure causes the air bubbles to be squeezed out, increasing the density of the created ice. Large quantities of water appear to be blue, as it absorbs other colours more efficiently than blue. A large piece of compressed ice, or a glacier, similarly appears blue.
Story: Grace has been hearing stories about some fantastic sites in the Arctic. She heard about a phenomenon called blue ice and has been wanting to see it. She has some options to go on her vacation, and has been researching them. Her two options she has narrowed down is a small lake called Tiller Lake, and a glacier called Munson Glacier.
Question: Will Tiller Lake have more or less chance of having blue ice than Munson Glacier?
answer:
less.
