input question: I read this background article the other day: Unfortunately, the layer of good ozone is being destroyed by air pollution. The chief culprits are chlorine and bromine gases. They are released in aerosol sprays, coolants, and other products. Loss of ozone has created an ozone hole over Antarctica. Ozone depletion results in higher levels of UV radiation reaching Earth. In humans, this increases skin cancers and eye cataracts. It also disturbs the nitrogen cycle, kills plankton, and disrupts ocean food webs. The total loss of the ozone layer would be devastating to most life. Its rate of loss has slowed with restrictions on pollutants, but it is still at risk. I am facing a new situation today: Russian research spent most of their time in Antarctica to study the loss of ozone in the atmosphere. The Canadian team went north of the Polar Circle, close to the North Pole to do the same thing. They spent several months there. The Canadian team didn't find any ozone holes at the North Pole. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which team was more exposed to eye cataracts????
output answer: Russian
I read this background article the other day: Greenhouse Effect: The solar energy reaching the surface of the Earth is concentrated in short wavelengths, which can easily penetrate the greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane. The Earth, however, is cooler than the sun and it radiates its heat in the form of energy in the far infrared range. These longer wavelengths are partially absorbed by the greenhouse gases and some of the solar heat is returned to Earth. At a certain temperature these processes are in equilibrium and the surface temperature of the Earth is stable. However, if more greenhouse gases are put in the atmosphere the amount of trapped terrestrial radiation increases, leading to an increase in global temperature. I am facing a new situation today: Barb and Dee studied chemistry for a school project. After little debate they decided that Dee will study volatile gases, and Barb will study greenhouse gasses. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which girl studied less about short wavelength solar energy?
----
Answer: Dee
Q: I read this background article the other day: Air pollution can also indirectly cause other health issues and even deaths. Air pollutants can cause an increase in cancer including lung cancer, eye problems, and other conditions. For example, using certain chemicals on farms, such as the insecticide DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and toxic PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl), can cause cancer. Indoors, pollutants such as radon or asbestos can also increase your cancer risk. Lastly, air pollution can lead to heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. I am facing a new situation today: The health inspectors reviewed data from two villages, Key and Auburn. Key village presented higher levels of both indoor and outdoor pollution. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which village had a higher number of people getting cancer?
A: Key
Question: I read this background article the other day: Geologists study earthquake waves to "see" Earth's interior. Waves of energy radiate out from an earthquake's focus. These waves are called seismic waves ( Figure below ). Seismic waves go different speeds through different materials. They change speed when they go from one type of material to another. This causes them to bend. Some seismic waves do not travel through liquids or gases. They just stop. Scientists use information from seismic waves to understand what makes up the Earth's interior. I am facing a new situation today: A team of geologists studied two islands. Large island had a lot of seismic activity, and Small island that presented almost no seismic activity. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which island displayed more seismic waves going different speeds through different materials?
Answer: Large
[Q]: I read this background article the other day: Trees can benefit fauna. The most common examples are silvopasture where cattle, goats, or sheep browse on grasses grown under trees. In hot climates, the animals are less stressed and put on weight faster when grazing in a cooler, shaded environment. The leaves of trees or shrubs can also serve as fodder. I am facing a new situation today: Two farmers from the same village raised animals. The village was situated in a hot climate. They took the animals to graze on pastures nearby. Tom took his animals to a silvopasture, while Bill took his to a grassland. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which farmer had more animals grazing in a cooler environment?
****
[A]: Tom
Problem: Given the question: I read this background article the other day: Middle adulthood lasts from the mid-30s to the mid-60s. During this stage of life, many people raise a family and strive to attain career goals. They start showing physical signs of aging, such as wrinkles and gray hair. Typically, vision, strength and reaction time start declining. Diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular or heart disease, and cancer are often diagnosed during this stage of life. These diseases are also the chief causes of death in middle adulthood. I am facing a new situation today: Pat and Tammy are mother and sister. They like to take long walks together. Pat is 60, while Tammy is 32 years-old. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which person hasn't reached middle adulthood?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Tammy
