	### Dataset Summary

	QASC is a question-answering dataset with a focus on sentence composition. It consists of 9,980 8-way multiple-choice
	questions about grade school science (8,134 train, 926 dev, 920 test), and comes with a corpus of 17M sentences.

	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	#### default

	- Size of downloaded dataset files: 1.61 MB
	- Size of the generated dataset: 5.87 MB
	- Total amount of disk used: 7.49 MB

	An example of 'validation' looks as follows.
	```
	{
	"answerKey": "F",
	"choices": {
	"label": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H"],
	"text": ["sand", "occurs over a wide range", "forests", "Global warming", "rapid changes occur", "local weather conditions", "measure of motion", "city life"]
	},
	"combinedfact": "Climate is generally described in terms of local weather conditions",
	"fact1": "Climate is generally described in terms of temperature and moisture.",
	"fact2": "Fire behavior is driven by local weather conditions such as winds, temperature and moisture.",
	"formatted_question": "Climate is generally described in terms of what? (A) sand (B) occurs over a wide range (C) forests (D) Global warming (E) rapid changes occur (F) local weather conditions (G) measure of motion (H) city life",
	"id": "3NGI5ARFTT4HNGVWXAMLNBMFA0U1PG",
	"question": "Climate is generally described in terms of what?"
	}
	```

	### Data Fields

	The data fields are the same among all splits.

	#### default
	- `id`: a `string` feature.
	- `question`: a `string` feature.
	- `choices`: a dictionary feature containing:
	- `text`: a `string` feature.
	- `label`: a `string` feature.
	- `answerKey`: a `string` feature.
	- `fact1`: a `string` feature.
	- `fact2`: a `string` feature.
	- `combinedfact`: a `string` feature.
	- `formatted_question`: a `string` feature.
