Q: I read this background article the other day: The intentional cultivation of arthropods and other small animals for human food, referred to as minilivestock, is now emerging in animal husbandry as an ecologically sound concept. However, the greatest contribution of arthropods to human food supply is by pollination. Three-fourths of the world's flowering plants and about 35% of the world's food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce and increase crop yields. More than 3,500 species of native bees pollinate crops. Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators, including birds and bats and arthropods like bees, butterflies and moths, and beetles and other insects. I am facing a new situation today: Two villages had many inhabitants practicing horticulture. People from Valley village grew flowers and used arthropods and other insects for pollination and crop protection. Granite village used arthropods and snails, they cultivated them for food. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which village cultivated no arthropods for food?
A: Valley
Question: I read this background article the other day: Tropical forests (rainforests) receive more insolation and rainfall over longer growing seasons than any other environment on earth. With these elevated temperatures, insolation and rainfall, biomass is extremely productive leading to the production of as much as 800 grams of carbon per square meter per year. Higher temperatures and larger amounts of water contribute to higher rates of chemical weathering. Increased rates of decomposition cause smaller amounts of fulvic acid to percolate and leach metals from the zone of active weathering. Thus, in stark contrast to soil in forests, tropical forests have little to no podzolization and therefore do not have marked visual and chemical contrasts with the soil layers. Instead, the mobile metals Mg, Fe and Al are precipitated as oxide minerals giving the soil a rusty red color. I am facing a new situation today: The Farlook forest is classified as a tropical forest, and the Celeste forest is not a tropical forest. Jessica is currently looking for a forest to go camping in and is trying to choose which of these two forests she will visit for a week. Jessica despises camping in the rain and also prefers a more moderate temperature. Luckily, her trip isn't for several months so she has plenty of time to make up her mind. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Chemical weathering impacts which forest less?
Answer: Celeste
[Q]: I read this background article the other day: 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, Andre-Marie Ampere discovered that a coil of wire acted like a permanent magnet and Francois 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. I am facing a new situation today: Kelsey is bored in class, and sees a coil of wire with electricity running through it. There is a box of random pieces of iron on the teacher's desk so she goes and picks up two of them. Piece A she simply puts on her desk to use later, and Piece B she slowly passes through the coil of wire. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which piece of iron is less magnetized?
****
[A]: Piece A
input: Please answer the following: I read this background article the other day: Soil is well developed in the forest as suggested by the thick humus layers, rich diversity of large trees and animals that live there. In forests, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration which results in an excess of water that percolates downward through the soil layers. Slow rates of decomposition leads to large amounts of fulvic acid, greatly enhancing chemical weathering. The downward percolation, in conjunction with chemical weathering leaches magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and aluminum (Al) from the soil and transports them downward, a process known as podzolization. This process leads to marked contrasts in the appearance and chemistry of the soil layers. I am facing a new situation today: Brad and Frank are two cousins. they both own land in the same county. Frank's parcel is a pine forest, while Brad's is a nice dry grassland with wild flowers and a few shrubs. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which parcel has a rich diversity of animals?
++++++++++
output: Frank's
Please answer this: I read this background article the other day: HIV , or human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS. AIDS stands for "acquired immune deficiency syndrome." It is a condition that causes death and does not have a known cure. AIDS usually develops 10 to 15 years after a person is first infected with HIV. The development of AIDS can be delayed with proper medicines. The delay can be well over 20 years with the right medicines. Today, individuals who acquire HIV after 50 years of age can expect to reach an average human life span. I am facing a new situation today: The police arrested two homeless people. James was 35 and had been HIV positive for 20 years, and Bill, who was 54 and was not HIV positive. They booked them and let them go. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which person had the immunodeficiency virus?
++++++++
Answer: James
Question: I read this background article the other day: Often, foreign exchange controls can result in the creation of black markets to exchange the weaker currency for stronger currencies. This leads to a situation where the exchange rate for the foreign currency is much higher than the rate set by the government, and therefore creates a shadow currency exchange market. As such, it is unclear whether governments have the ability to enact effective exchange controls.[1] I am facing a new situation today: Booneland changed their foreign exchange controls and Bradland didn't. The foreign currency got more expensive and they had problems with a shadow currency exchange. Bradland people were more cautious and less inclined to take risks, but didn't have those problems. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which country had a less expensive foreign currency?
Answer:
Bradland
