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: For bases we can state the folllowing: The higher the pH of a substance, the more basic it is.
 Question: If Milo is adjusting the pH of his pool and decreases it, what happens to how basic the solution in the pool is? 
 Choices: A)increases 
B)decreases
Student:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
