In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to generate a question about temporal relations based on that passage. A temporal relation describes the relation between two things with respect to time e.g., something happens/starts/terminates/... immediately/shortly/usually/... before/after/during/... something else.
 Your question should include an event, or ask about an event, and should not be a yes/no question.

Passage: Japan's private sector machinery orders in February rose 9.9 percent from a year earlier, after growing 14.8 percent in the previous month, the Economic Planning Agency said Thursday. Compared with the previous month, the February orders dropped 1.6 percent, the agency said.

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.
