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:
Paragraph: Many of the worlds people live with water scarcity, and that percentage will increase as populations increase and climate changes.
 Question: John's town used to have lots of water, back when there were only a few hundred people. However, now that the town holds several thousand people, the water availability is 
 Choices: A)scarce 
B)plentiful
Solution: scarce
Reason: Based on the information given in the paragraph, population growth will make water more scarce, so that is the correct answer.

Now, solve this instance: Paragraph: Alkanes with more carbon atoms have higher boiling and melting points, so some of them are solids at room temperature.
 Question: Kathy did some experiments on two different alkanes and one of the alkanes had twice as many carbon atoms than the other. She would notice that which alkane would require a lower temperature to melt 
 Choices: A)alkane with fewer carbon atoms 
B)alkane with more carbon atoms?
Student:
alkane with fewer carbon atoms
