Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Example: Passage: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence. Deletions remove nucleotides, and insertions add nucleotides. Consider the following sequence of bases in RNA:. Answer: nucleotides.
Example solution: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Example explanation: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Problem: Passage: Colligative properties have practical applications, such as the salting of roads in cold-weather climates. By applying salt to an icy road, the melting point of the ice is decreased, and the ice will melt more quickly, making driving safer. Sodium chloride (NaCl) and either calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) or magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) are used most frequently, either alone or in a mixture. Sodium chloride is the least expensive option, but is less effective because it only dissociates into two ions instead of three. Answer: decreased
Solution: By applying salt to an icy road, the melting point of the ice is what?
