[Q]: I read this background article the other day: Rainfall in an area is important because it influences the rate of weathering. More rain means that more rainwater passes through the soil. The rainwater reacts chemically with the particles. The top layers of soil are in contact with the freshest water, so reactions are greatest there. High rainfall increases the amount of rock that experiences chemical reactions. High rainfall may also carry material away. This means that new surfaces are exposed. This increases the rate of weathering. I am facing a new situation today: Rob is an environmental scientist. He is looking at two samples of soil, sample A and sample B. Sample A is from Amazon Rain-forest, where they get one of the highest rainfall in the world. Sample B is from the Atacama Desert, where they get one of the lowest rainfall in the world. He needs to determine the properties of these samples. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which sample would show decreased rate of weathering, sample A or sample B?
****
[A]: sample B
input: Please answer the following: I read this background article the other day: Chlamydia may cause a burning feeling during urination. It may also cause a discharge (leaking of fluids) from the vagina or penis. But in many cases it causes no symptoms. As a result, people do not know they are infected, so they don't go to the doctor for help. If chlamydia goes untreated, it may cause more serious problems in females. It may cause infections of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. These infections may leave a woman unable to have children. I am facing a new situation today: Two women are at an STD clinic getting tested because they feel they may have caught something from recent sexual partners they had. After getting a blood sample taken, Beth is told that she has genital herpes. The doctor tells her what to expect and how to manage the symptoms. The doctor then goes into the waiting room that Sarah is in and informs her that she has tested positive for chlamydia. Sarah is not surprised, and she begins asking questions about what she should do to help control the disease. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Will Beth have a higher or lower chance than Sarah of having fertility issues?

output: lower
Please answer this: I read this background article the other day: Rain dissolves fertilizer in the soil. Runoff carries it away. The fertilizer ends up in bodies of water, from ponds to oceans. The nitrogen is a fertilizer in the water bodies. Since there is a lot of nitrogen it causes algae to grow out of control. Figure below shows a pond covered with algae. Algae may use up so much oxygen in the water that nothing else can grow. Soon, even the algae die out. Decomposers break down the dead tissue and use up all the oxygen in the water. This creates a dead zone. A dead zone is an area in a body of water where nothing grows because there is too little oxygen. There is a large dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. You can see it Figure below . I am facing a new situation today: Leaf farm and Plum farm provided the neighboring counties with quality produce year-round. plum farm used conventional farming methods such as fertilizer and pesticides, while Leaf farm used alternative eco-friendly methods only. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which farm caused more fertilizer to reach the oceans?
++++++++
Answer: Plum
Problem: I read this background article the other day: Candied fruit, also known as crystallized fruit or glace fruit, has existed since the 14th century. Whole fruit, smaller pieces of fruit, or pieces of peel, are placed in heated sugar syrup, which absorbs the moisture from within the fruit and eventually preserves it. Depending on size and type of fruit, this process of preservation can take from several days to several months.[1] This process allows the fruit to retain its quality for a year.[2] The continual process of drenching the fruit in syrup causes the fruit to become saturated with sugar, preventing the growth of spoilage microorganisms due to the unfavourable osmotic pressure this creates.[3] I am facing a new situation today: The fruit harvest was awesome this year, so Mary decided to experiment by candying some raspberries, apricots and apples. She didn't candy plums, cherries and pears though. the candied fruit lasted longer, preserved their aroma and tasted delicious. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which of Mary's fruit are saturated with sugar, apples or cherries?

A: apples
Problem: Given the question: I read this background article the other day: Any unused energy in food, whether it comes from carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids, is stored in the body as fat. An extra 3,500 Calories of energy results in the storage of almost half a kilogram (1 pound) of stored body fat. People who consistently consume more food energy then they need may become obese. Obesity occurs when the body mass index is 30.0 kg/m 2 or greater. Body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of the fat content of the body. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by the square of the person's height (in meters). Obesity increases the risk of health problems such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. I am facing a new situation today: Two groups of people were part of a nutrition study. Group O was made up of individuals that consumed an extra 2000 calories per day, while group B had a normal daily caloric consumption. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which group had more obese people?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Group O
Problem: I read this background article the other day: If all the other factors influencing humidity remain constant, at ground level the relative humidity rises as the temperature falls. This is because less vapor is needed to saturate the air, so vapor condenses as the temperature falls. In normal conditions, the dew point temperature will not be greater than the air temperature because relative humidity cannot exceed 100%.[4] I am facing a new situation today: Sam lived in Chicago for many years and experienced those high humidity days during the summer, the Indian summers in October and harsh and humid winters, so he decided to move to San Diego, in a warmer and much dryer climate. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which city has more humidity during winter?

A:
Chicago
