Teacher: You are given a short paragraph, a question and two choices to answer from. Choose the correct answer based on the paragraph and write the answer(not the key).
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:

Now, solve this instance: Paragraph: Larger alkenes have lower boiling and melting points, so they are liquids or waxy solids at room temperature.
 Question: Tommy was assigned to work with alkene compounds for his science project. When he took them out he noticed that they were in solid form before he even worked with them. This means that the alkenes were 
 Choices: A)small alkenes 
B)large alkenes
Student:
