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."

Question: Background Paragraph: Communication is any way that animals share information. Many animals live in social groups. For these animals, being able to communicate is essential. Communicating increases the ability of group members to cooperate and avoid conflict. Communication may help animals work together to find food and defend themselves from predators. It also helps them find mates and care for their offspring. In addition, communication helps adult animals teach the next generation learned behaviors. Therefore, communication generally improves the chances of animals surviving and reproducing.
Story: There is an experiment being done on a group of animals. The animals in Group A are allowed to communicate with each other, while the animals in Group B have been sequestered and have no communication within their group.

Answer: Does Group A have a higher or lower chance of survival than Group B?

Question: Background Paragraph: The mechanical advantage of a machine is the factor by which it changes the force applied to the machine. Many machines increase the force applied to them, and this is how they make work easier. Compound machines tend to have a greater mechanical advantage than simple machines. That's because the mechanical advantage of a compound machine equals the product of the mechanical advantages of all its component simple machines. The greater the number of simple machines it contains, the greater its mechanical advantage tends to be.
Story: Jeremiah and Alexander are students in a work shop class at their local community college. For their final project, they have to construct a compound machine to carry bricks across a room. Jeremiah's compound machine consists of many simple machines. Alexander's compound machine only consists of a few simple machines.

Answer: Which person's compound machine will have a larger mechanical advantage?

Question: Background Paragraph: The Gaia hypothesis states that the biosphere is its own living organism. The hypothesis suggests that the Earth is self-regulating and tends to achieve a stable state, known as homeostasis . For example the composition of our atmosphere stays fairly consistent, providing the ideal conditions for life. When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere, plants grow more quickly. As their growth continues, they remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In this way, the amount of carbon dioxide stays fairly constant without human intervention.
Story: A scientist with an interesting idea for an experiment begins building a dome. This dome will be completely cut off from the rest of the world. It will produce all of its own resources, breathable air, anything needed to sustain life, putting it into a state of homeostasis.

Answer:
Given The Gaia hypothesis, would this dome be considered a living organism or non-living?
