TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you're given an article and an answer. Your task is to generate the question for the answer based on the given article.
PROBLEM: Article: In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments .In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyers pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping, It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is ,however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
Answer: The payment of installment buying is easier than buying by cash.

SOLUTION: Which of the following is true about the installment plan?

PROBLEM: Article: No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting . For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
Answer: Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.

SOLUTION: Which is true about weather forecasting?

PROBLEM: Article: Last night I had a terrible nightmare. I imagined that I was falling between the walls of a deep valley. I was screaming as the ground rushed towards me. I was sure that I was going to die. Suddenly, I was awake, sweaty but amazingly alive. I was angry with myself. According to popular stories I am to blame for the bad dream. I had eaten a big piece of cheese before bedtime. Cheese, says folk stories, causes nightmares. One minute I'm eating a piece of cheddar (a kind of cheese), the next _ 'm falling through a canyon . It's not just folk stories that suggests Roquefort and Red Leicester (two types of cheese) give you nightmares. Scientists seem to agree. Cheese contains a substance that makes our bodies produce a chemical called serotonin. Serotonin slows down the heart and so our blood slows down around our bodies. When we're awake, this can lead to headaches. When we're asleep this gives us strong dreams. Cheese is also hard to digest and may make us sleep badly. We are more likely to wake during deep sleep and remember any dreams or nightmares. Don't think that removing cheese from your late night meals will stop the nightmares. Bananas, chocolate and tomatoes all have the same effect.
Answer: Bad dreams may have a cheese explanation.
