input: Please answer the following: Question: "Carbon dioxide, which allows green plants to secure carbohydrates, is absorbed through?" Context: "Plants uptake essential elements from the soil through their roots and from the air (consisting of mainly nitrogen and oxygen) through their leaves. Green plants obtain their carbohydrate supply from the carbon dioxide in the air by the process of photosynthesis. Carbon and oxygen are absorbed from the air, while other nutrients are absorbed from the soil. Nutrient uptake in the soil is achieved by cation exchange, wherein root hairs pump hydrogen ions (H+) into the soil through proton pumps. These hydrogen ions displace cations attached to negatively charged soil particles so that the cations are available for uptake by the root. In the leaves, stomata open to take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. The carbon dioxide molecules are used as the carbon source in photosynthesis." Answer:
++++++++++
output: the air

Problem: Given the question: Question: "What factor allows glaciers to form" Context: "Even at high latitudes, glacier formation is not inevitable. Areas of the Arctic, such as Banks Island, and the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica are considered polar deserts where glaciers cannot form because they receive little snowfall despite the bitter cold. Cold air, unlike warm air, is unable to transport much water vapor. Even during glacial periods of the Quaternary, Manchuria, lowland Siberia, and central and northern Alaska, though extraordinarily cold, had such light snowfall that glaciers could not form." Answer:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
snowfall

input question: Question: "What is the difference in the views?" Context: "Some legal scholars, such as John Baker of LSU, theorize that Madison's initial proposed languagethat Congress should make no law regarding the establishment of a "national religion"was rejected by the House, in favor of the more general "religion" in an effort to appease the Anti-Federalists. To both the Anti-Federalists and the Federalists, the very word "national" was a cause for alarm because of the experience under the British crown. During the debate over the establishment clause, Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts took issue with Madison's language regarding whether the government was a national or federal government (in which the states retained their individual sovereignty), which Baker suggests compelled Madison to withdraw his language from the debate." Answer:???
output answer:
that Congress should make no law regarding the establishment of a "national religion"was rejected by the House, in favor of the more general "religion" in an effort to appease the Anti-Federalists
