Question: I read this background article the other day: Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver. It is caused by a virus called hepatitis B, which can be passed through sexual activity. Hepatitis B causes vomiting. It also causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. The disease goes away on its own in some people. Other people are sick for the rest of their lives. In these people, the virus usually damages the liver. It may also lead to liver cancer. Medicines can help prevent liver damage in these people. There is also a vaccine to protect against hepatitis B.  I am facing a new situation today: Mike and John are brothers. Their dad sent them to the doctor's office to get tested for hepatitis because Mike was feeling sick all the time. It turned out Mike has hepatitis B, while John doesn't.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which brother doesn't have a disease which causes yellowing of the eyes?
Answer: John

[Q]: I read this background article the other day: HIV , or human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS. AIDS stands for "acquired immune deficiency syndrome." It is a condition that causes death and does not have a known cure. AIDS usually develops 10 to 15 years after a person is first infected with HIV. The development of AIDS can be delayed with proper medicines. The delay can be well over 20 years with the right medicines. Today, individuals who acquire HIV after 50 years of age can expect to reach an average human life span.  I am facing a new situation today: The police arrested two homeless people. James was 35 and had been HIV positive for 20 years, and Bill, who was 54 and was not HIV positive. They booked them and let them go.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which person had more chances of getting AIDS?
****
[A]: James

input: Please answer the following: I read this background article the other day: Light may transfer its energy to matter rather than being reflected or transmitted by matter. This is called absorption . When light is absorbed, the added energy increases the temperature of matter. If you get into a car that has been sitting in the sun all day, the seats and other parts of the car’s interior may be almost too hot to touch, especially if they are black or very dark in color. That’s because dark colors absorb most of the sunlight that strikes them.  I am facing a new situation today: There are two cats sitting outside in the sun. One of them has white fur and one of them has black fur. Tina sees them and goes to pet them both.                                                            Robert is planning a beach trip and needs to buy a new lounge chair to sit in because his old one is broken. At the store he sees two chairs that he likes. One of the chairs is dark blue and one of the chairs is light blue.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: If left in the sun at the beach which chair color would be cooler the dark blue chair or the light blue chair?
++++++++++
output: the light blue chair

Please answer this: I read this background article the other day: The jejunum is the second part of the small intestine, where most nutrients are absorbed into the blood. As shown in Figure below , the mucous membrane lining the jejunum is covered with millions of microscopic, fingerlike projections called villi (singular, villus). Villi contain many capillaries, and nutrients pass from the villi into the bloodstream through the capillaries. Because there are so many villi, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption. In fact, they make the inner surface of the small intestine as large as a tennis court!  I am facing a new situation today: Pete liked the human physiology so he started reading about the digestive system, especially about the jejunum. His colleague Fox, studied more about the stomach.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which student read more about the mucous membrane lining the jejunum?
++++++++
Answer: Pete

Problem: I read this background article the other day: The Hawaiian Islands ( Figure above ) are in the central Pacific Ocean. The islands are volcanoes that increase in age from southeast to northwest. The youngest island is the Big Island of Hawaii at the southeast end of the chain. The volcanoes get older through Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau Islands through the northwest. The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii has been erupting almost continuously since 1983. There are also eruptions at an underwater volcano called Loih  I am facing a new situation today: Pete lived in Alaska, but visited his friend Julia from Hawaii very often. They had many mutual interests, including geology and earthquakes.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which person lived closer to Niahu island?

A: Julia

input: Please answer the following: I read this background article the other day: Earthquakes may take place every day near a volcano. But before an eruption, the number and size of earthquakes increases. This is the result of magma pushing upward into the magma chamber. This motion causes stresses on neighboring rock to build up. Eventually the ground shakes. A continuous string of earthquakes may indicate that a volcano is about to erupt. Scientists use seismographs to record the length and strength of each earthquake.  I am facing a new situation today: Two neighboring cities are situated in a volcanic area with lots of earthquakes. Park city is situated near a very active volcano, while Hill city is situated 50 miles north.  Using the knowledge I acquired from the background article, how should I answer correctly the following question regarding my new situation: Which city experiences more motion causing stresses on neighboring rock to build up?
++++++++++
output:
Park
