Q: I have a new situation: Chad invested massively in railways and highways over the past decade. They also funded many IT projects and telecom infrastructure. On the other hand, Bahrain invested less, and didn't do much to improve communication pathways and technologies between different villages. But I can use this background: Distance decay is a geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural or spatial interactions. The distance decay effect states that the interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them increases. Once the distance is outside of the two locales' activity space, their interactions begin to decrease. With the advent of faster travel, distance has less effect than it did in the past, except where places previously connected by now-abandoned railways, for example, have fallen off the beaten path. Advances in communications technology, such as telegraphs, telephones, broadcasting, and internet, have further decreased the effects of distance.[1] What is an answer for this question: Which country experiences greater distance decay effect?
A: Bahrain

Q: I have a new situation: David is interested in geology. One day he was studying about how the earth's crust works. He specifically noticed two lithosphere, lithosphere A an lithosphere B. Lithosphere A is an oceanic lithosphere while lithosphere B is an overriding lithosphere. He also noticed two distinct zones, zone A an zone B. Zone A is a subduction zone, but zone B is not a subduction zone. Just reading about geology made David excited. Now, he wants to visit places with high volcanic activity. For that he chose place C. To compare with place C geology he would also visit place D, which does not have any volcanic activity. But I can use this background: Plates include both oceanic crust and continental crust. Stable subduction zones involve the oceanic lithosphere of one plate sliding beneath the continental or oceanic lithosphere of another plate due to the higher density of the oceanic lithosphere. That is, the subducted lithosphere is always oceanic while the overriding lithosphere may or may not be oceanic. Subduction zones are sites that usually have a high rate of volcanism and earthquakes.[2][better source needed] Furthermore, subduction zones develop belts of deformation and metamorphism in the subducting crust, whose exhumation is part of orogeny and also leads to mountain building in addition to collisional thickening. What is an answer for this question: Which place would most likely be in zone B, place C or place D?
A: place D

Q: I have a new situation: There is a long history of martial arts competition in Fujian Province of China. Interestingly, one can also place bets on competitors. David is a martial arts enthusiast, watching every martial arts movie he can find. This year David and his friend John is visiting the Fujian Province to see the martial arts competition. There are two rounds of competition, round A and round B. Round A competitors would display southern Chinese martial arts while round B competitors would display northern Chinese martial arts. But I can use this background: Some Chinese martial arts instructors focus more on their qinna techniques than others. This is one of the many reasons why the qinna of one school may differ from that of another.[2] All martial arts contain qinna techniques in some degree. The southern Chinese martial arts have more developed qinna techniques than northern Chinese martial systems. The southern martial arts have much more prevalent reliance on hand techniques which causes the practitioner to be in closer range to their opponent. There are over 700 qinna traditional techniques found in all martial arts. In the Non-Temple White Crane style there are 150-200 qinna techniques alone. Along with Fujian White Crane, styles such as Northern Eagle Claw (Ying Jow Pai) and Tiger Claw (Fu Jow Pai) have qinna as their martial focus and tend to rely on these advanced techniques. What is an answer for this question: In which round competitors would be farther from their opponents, round A or round B?
A: round B

Q: I have a new situation: Mary's dog just gave birth to a litter of puppies! As of right now the puppies eyes are closed so they can't see. They require the mother to take very close care of them while they grow to keep them safe. But I can use this background: Organisms can use different strategies to increase their reproduction rate. Altricial organisms are helpless at birth, and their parents give them a lot of care. This care is often seen in bird species. ( Figure below ). Altricial birds are usually born blind and without feathers. Compared to precocial organisms, altricial organisms have a longer period of development before they reach maturity. Precocial organisms, such as the geese shown below, can take care of themselves at birth and do not require help from their parents ( Figure below ). In order to reproduce as much as possible, altricial and precocial organisms must use very different strategies. What is an answer for this question: Will an altricial animal have a higher or lower chance of survival with no care from a parent?
A:
lower
