Problem: Given the question: I read this background article the other day: A mycorrhiza (Greek for "fungus roots") is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant. In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus may colonize the roots of a host plant by either growing directly into the root cells, or by growing around the root cells. This association provides the fungus with relatively constant and direct access to glucose, which the plant produces by photosynthesis. The mycelia of the fungi increase the surface area of the plant's root system. The larger surface area improves water and mineral nutrient absorption from the soil. I am facing a new situation today: Two mycologists studied about mushrooms. Bert studied mycorrhizal fungi, while Vince studied saprophytic mushrooms. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which person studied less about a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant?

The answer is:
Vince

Problem: Given the question: I read this background article the other day: Human beings invented agriculture about 10,000 years ago. This provided a bigger, more dependable food supply. It also allowed people to settle down in villages and cities for the first time. Birth rates went up because there was more food and settled life had other advantages. Death rates also rose because of crowded living conditions and diseases that spread from domestic animals. Because the higher birth rates were matched by higher death rates, the human population continued to grow very slowly. I am facing a new situation today: Brad studied ancient human settlements from 100,000 years ago. His colleague Phil studied human settlement from 8-10,000 years ago. They were both fascinated by their findings. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which colleague studied that more people settled down in cities?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Phil

Problem: Given the question: I read this background article the other day: Making these healthy lifestyle choices can also help prevent some types of cancer. In addition, you can lower the risk of cancer by avoiding carcinogens , which are substances that cause cancer. For example, you can reduce your risk of lung cancer by not smoking. You can reduce your risk of skin cancer by using sunscreen. How to choose a sunscreen that offers the most protection is explained below ( Figure below ). Some people think that tanning beds are a safe way to get a tan. This is a myth. Tanning beds expose the skin to UV radiation. Any exposure to UV radiation increases the risk of skin cancer. It doesn't matter whether the radiation comes from tanning lamps or the sun. I am facing a new situation today: Justin and Robert are brothers who both work in construction in the summers. Due to their work, they both often spend a lot of time outside with the sun shining down on them for several hours a day for a few months at a time. Justin always makes sure to apply sunscreen frequently when he works, while Robert never applies sunscreen. Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Who has a lower risk of getting skin cancer?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Justin
