Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: As Philip marched south, his opponents blocked him near Chaeronea, Boeotia. Sent 2: During the ensuing Battle of Chaeronea, Philip commanded the right wing and Alexander the left, accompanied by a group of Philip's trusted generals. Sent 3: According to the ancient sources, the two sides fought bitterly for some time. Sent 4: Philip deliberately commanded his troops to retreat, counting on the untested Athenian hoplites to follow, thus breaking their line. Sent 5: Alexander was the first to break the Theban lines, followed by Philip's generals. Sent 6: Having damaged the enemy's cohesion, Philip ordered his troops to press forward and quickly routed them. Sent 7: With the Athenians lost, the Thebans were surrounded. Sent 8: Left to fight alone, they were defeated. Sent 9: After the victory at Chaeronea, Philip and Alexander marched unopposed into the Peloponnese, welcomed by all cities; however, when they reached Sparta, they were refused, but did not resort to war. Sent 10: At Corinth, Philip established a "Hellenic Alliance" (modeled on the old anti-Persian alliance of the Greco-Persian Wars), which included most Greek city-states except Sparta. Sent 11: Philip was then named Hegemon (often translated as "Supreme Commander") of this league (known by modern scholars as the League of Corinth), and announced his plans to attack the Persian Empire. Question: Who were members of the League of Corinth when Philip announced his plans to attack the Persians?. Example Output: Most Greek city states. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The one person who, by his interference, could have settled all doubts was debarred by circumstances from interfering in the matter. Sent 2: Wykham Delandre had quarrelled with his sister--or perhaps it was that she had quarrelled with him--and they were on terms not merely of armed neutrality but of bitter hatred. Sent 3: The quarrel had been antecedent to Margaret going to Brent's Rock. Sent 4: She and Wykham had almost come to blows. Sent 5: There had certainly been threats on one side and on the other; and in the end Wykham, overcome with passion, had ordered his sister to leave his house. Sent 6: She had risen straightway, and, without waiting to pack up even her own personal belongings, had walked out of the house. Sent 7: On the threshold she had paused for a moment to hurl a bitter threat at Wykham that he would rue in shame and despair to the last hour of his life his act of that day. Sent 8: Some weeks had since passed; and it was understood in the neighbourhood that Margaret had gone to London, when she suddenly appeared driving out with Geoffrey Brent, and the entire neighbourhood knew before nightfall that she had taken up her abode at the Rock. Sent 9: It was no subject of surprise that Brent had come back unexpectedly, for such was his usual custom. Sent 10: Even his own servants never knew when to expect him, for there was a private door, of which he alone had the key, by which he sometimes entered without anyone in the house being aware of his coming. Sent 11: This was his usual method of appearing after a long absence. Question: What happened before Margaret went to Geoffrey's house?. Example Output: Margaret had a quarrel with her brother, Wykham Delandre. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: An insect can have one of three types of change in its life.

A correct answer is one that correctly and completely answers the question. Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: In remarks during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here on Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki said he expected the facility to generate thousands more jobs in the Hudson Valley area for contractors and suppliers catering to the factory. Sent 2: He praised IBM for being "a critical partner in our economic development efforts" in New York state. Sent 3: In a brief speech, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business. Sent 4: "To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," he said. Sent 5: But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business. Sent 6: In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings. Sent 7: The largest single reasons for the charge were the cost of getting out of the business of manufacturing hard disks for storage, which it sold to Hitachi, and closing down some of its older semiconductor operations. Sent 8: But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong. Sent 9: "I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand."Sent 10: If IBM has miscalculated the demand, it will suffer badly as both the high operating costs and depreciation on the huge capital investment for the East Fishkill factory drag down earnings. Sent 11: But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market. Question: What Factory was just opened in Hudson Valley with a ribbon cutting ceremony?. answer: IBM Factory. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: (CNN) -- Beyond skateboards, Silicon Valley and hippies, California has a trendsetting streak of a different kind. Sent 2: The state has been first to pass major public health initiatives that have spread throughout the country. Sent 3: California was first to require smog checks for clean air, pass anti-tobacco initiatives and bike helmets laws. Sent 4: While these laws were met with skepticism and ridicule, they've often become standard practice in other states. Sent 5: The Golden State was first to ban smoking in workplaces, bars and restaurants in 1998. Sent 6: Now similar rules exist throughout the country. Sent 7: Some advocates tout the state as a forward-thinking vanguard in which its health and safety laws are routinely emulated by other states. Sent 8: "There have been progressive legislations in tobacco, environment and obesity prevention," said Mark Horton, a lecturer at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health. Sent 9: "In some respect, the rest of the country looks to California as a laboratory for moving forward with those various types of initiatives."Sent 10: But some critics liken the Golden State to a nanny state. Sent 11: California has 151,002 health and safety laws. Sent 12: "It never ends," said Laer Pearce, who works in public affairs in Orange County. Sent 13: "Every year, several hundred bills come through and dozens of them tell us how to live our lives."Sent 14: Starting in January, 760 new California laws went into effect -- for example, the importing of shark fins is prohibited, student athletes are required to have medical clearance after suffering a head injury, teens are banned from using tanning booths and the sale of caffeinated beer is forbidden. Sent 15: There's a perception that California has "more folks who are health-oriented and more health-minded," said Horton, former director of the California Department of Public Health. Sent 16: It's not just workout fanatics hanging out at Muscle Beach, Sierra Club members hiking mountains or the uber-health-conscious touting organic foods. Sent 17: Californians in general tend to have healthier habits, ranking 10th for physical activity, fourth for healthy blood pressure and fifth for a diet high in fruits and vegetables compared with other states, according to America's Health Rankings. Question: The former director of the California Department of Public health is a professor at which university?. answer: UC Berkeley. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: (CNN) -- Gabriel García Márquez, widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary Latin American authors, was admitted to a hospital in Mexico earlier this week, according to the Ministry of Health. Sent 2: The Nobel Prize recipient, known as "Gabo," had infections in his lungs and his urinary tract. Sent 3: He was suffering from dehydration, the ministry said. Sent 4: García Márquez, 87, is responding well to antibiotics, but his release date is still to be determined. Sent 5: "I wish him a speedy recovery."Sent 6: Mexican President Enrique Peña wrote on Twitter. Sent 7: García Márquez was born in the northern Colombian town of Aracataca, the inspiration for the fictional town of Macondo, the setting of the 1967 novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude."Sent 8: He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1982 "for his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts," according to the Nobel Prize website. Sent 9: García Márquez has spent many years in Mexico and has a huge following there. Sent 10: Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said his country is thinking of the author.

Therefore, any of the following responses are considred correct: '19' and 'almost twenty'. New input case for you: Paragraph- Sent 1: California lags far behind comparable states in funding legal services for the poor, a situation so dire that only 28 percent of the civil legal needs of the state's poor and lowerincome residents are being addressed. Sent 2: That figures translates into 2 million people without the ability to access the justice system, according to a new study by the California Commission on Access to Justice, which also found that despite increased spending, the gap between need and services remains substantial. Sent 3: "As a practical matter, in most cases there can be no access to justice without access to legal assistance," said Jack Londen, past commission chair and a partner with Morrison & Foerster in San Francisco. Sent 4: "Whether we like it or not, sometimes landlords illegally evict tenants, children with disabilities are denied proper care, veterans don't get services guaranteed to them, and elderly people need legal assistance to escape the abuse of a caregiver."Sent 5: California has the highest number of people in poverty in the nation - 6.4 million, including nearly one in five children. Sent 6: Half the nation's increase in poverty in the 1990s, when the number of poor jumped 30 percent, occurred in California, and nearly 25 percent of the nation's poverty increase occurred in Los Angeles County alone. Sent 7: Even those with jobs are suffering: 26 percent of California workers earn poverty level wages. Sent 8: The commission's report, "The Path to Equal Justice: A Five-Year Status Report on Access to Justice in California," examined how the legal needs of the state's poor have changed in the last five years as well as both the shortcomings of the justice system and the improvements during that period. Sent 9: Despite increases in state funding to meet the legal needs of the poor, low interest rates (which have reduced the IOLTA fund), high unemployment and the present economic downturn have threatened any gains. Question: Who made the following remark: "Whether we like it or not, sometimes landlords illegally evict tenants, children with disabilities are denied proper care, veterans don't get services guaranteed to them, and elderly people need legal assistance to escape the abuse of a caregiver.".

Sent 2: His birthday party was coming up and he hoped that his parents would finally get him the bike. Sent 3: When his friends came over for the party, Tim was very worried that he wouldn't get the bike. Sent 4: He looked at all the presents and none of them seemed big enough to have a bike in them. Sent 5: Tim was sad. Sent 6: When it was time to open the presents he opened them one at a time. Sent 7: The first present was not a bike. Sent 8: The second present was not a bike. Sent 9: The third present was the biggest one. Sent 10: Tim knew if the bike was going to be in any of the presents it was going to be in this box. Sent 11: Tim opened it and there was no bike inside. Sent 12: Just as Tim tried not to look too upset, his Dad brought in the biggest present of them all. Sent 13: His Dad had been hiding the present all along. Sent 14: Tim opened it and his new bike was inside the box. Sent 15: Tim put the bike together with his Dad's help. Question: Why was Tim excited for his birthday?. Wanted Bike. Paragraph- Sent 1: He repeatedly calls on his followers to embrace martyrdom since "The walls of oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets."Sent 2: For those yearning for a lost sense of order in an older, more tranquil world, he offers his "Caliphate" as an imagined alternative to today's uncertainty. Sent 3: For others, he offers simplistic conspiracies to explain their world. Sent 4: Bin Laden also relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb. Sent 5: A member of the Muslim Brotherhood executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, Qutb mixed Islamic scholarship with a very superficial acquaintance with Western history and thought. Sent 6: Sent by the Egyptian government to study in the United States in the late 1940s, Qutb returned with an enormous loathing of Western society and history. Sent 7: He dismissed Western achievements as entirely material, arguing that Western society possesses "nothing that will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence."Sent 8: Three basic themes emerge from Qutb's writings. Sent 9: First, he claimed that the world was beset with barbarism, licentiousness, and unbelief (a condition he called jahiliyya, the religious term for the period of ignorance prior to the revelations given to the Prophet Mohammed). Sent 10: Qutb argued that humans can choose only between Islam and jahiliyya. Sent 11: Second, he warned that more people, including Muslims, were attracted to jahiliyya and its material comforts than to his view of Islam; jahiliyya could therefore triumph over Islam. Sent 12: Third, no middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan. Sent 13: All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight. Sent 14: Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction. Sent 15: Bin Laden shares Qutb's stark view, permitting him and his followers to rationalize even unprovoked mass murder as righteous defense of an embattled faith. Sent 16: Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?"Sent 17: Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?"Sent 18: Bin Laden and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions. Question: What two aspects of Bin Laden's message attract followers?. An imagined alternative to today's uncertainty. Paragraph- Sent 1: Fossils give clues about major geological events. Sent 2: Fossils can also give clues about past climates. Sent 3: Fossils of ocean animals on the top of a mountain? Sent 4: Ocean animals have been found on the Earths tallest mountain. Sent 5: Its hard to believe, but it is true. Sent 6: These fossils were found at the top of Mt. Everest. Sent 7: Mt. Everest is the highest mountain on Earth. Sent 8: These fossils showed that this entire area was once at the bottom of a sea. Sent 9: It can only mean that Mt. Everest was uplifted. Sent 10: In fact, the entire Himalaya mountain range was raised. Sent 11: It was forced up from the collision of two continents. Sent 12: Fossils of plants are found in Antarctica. Sent 13: Now, Antarctica is almost completely covered with ice. Sent 14: Plants do not grow in Antarctica. Sent 15: According to fossils, they once did. Sent 16: This means that Antarctica was once much warmer than it is now. Sent 17: These fossils tell us about Antarcticas past climate. Question: What does the fact that fossils have been found on the top of Mt. Everest?.
Mount Everest was under the seas.

Sent 8: Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. Sent 9: President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. Sent 10: It might not be a bad idea to do that sooner, rather than later. Sent 11: After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. Sent 12: Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that. Question: Who said the cartel must not succeed in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations?. [EX A]: Former US Attorney. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: As Philip marched south, his opponents blocked him near Chaeronea, Boeotia. Sent 2: During the ensuing Battle of Chaeronea, Philip commanded the right wing and Alexander the left, accompanied by a group of Philip's trusted generals. Sent 3: According to the ancient sources, the two sides fought bitterly for some time. Sent 4: Philip deliberately commanded his troops to retreat, counting on the untested Athenian hoplites to follow, thus breaking their line. Sent 5: Alexander was the first to break the Theban lines, followed by Philip's generals. Sent 6: Having damaged the enemy's cohesion, Philip ordered his troops to press forward and quickly routed them. Sent 7: With the Athenians lost, the Thebans were surrounded. Sent 8: Left to fight alone, they were defeated. Sent 9: After the victory at Chaeronea, Philip and Alexander marched unopposed into the Peloponnese, welcomed by all cities; however, when they reached Sparta, they were refused, but did not resort to war. Sent 10: At Corinth, Philip established a "Hellenic Alliance" (modeled on the old anti-Persian alliance of the Greco-Persian Wars), which included most Greek city-states except Sparta. Sent 11: Philip was then named Hegemon (often translated as "Supreme Commander") of this league (known by modern scholars as the League of Corinth), and announced his plans to attack the Persian Empire. Question: Who were members of the League of Corinth when Philip announced his plans to attack the Persians?. [EX A]: Most Greek city states. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: California lags far behind comparable states in funding legal services for the poor, a situation so dire that only 28 percent of the civil legal needs of the state's poor and lowerincome residents are being addressed. Sent 2: That figures translates into 2 million people without the ability to access the justice system, according to a new study by the California Commission on Access to Justice, which also found that despite increased spending, the gap between need and services remains substantial. Sent 3: "As a practical matter, in most cases there can be no access to justice without access to legal assistance," said Jack Londen, past commission chair and a partner with Morrison & Foerster in San Francisco. Sent 4: "Whether we like it or not, sometimes landlords illegally evict tenants, children with disabilities are denied proper care, veterans don't get services guaranteed to them, and elderly people need legal assistance to escape the abuse of a caregiver."Sent 5: California has the highest number of people in poverty in the nation - 6.4 million, including nearly one in five children. Sent 6: Half the nation's increase in poverty in the 1990s, when the number of poor jumped 30 percent, occurred in California, and nearly 25 percent of the nation's poverty increase occurred in Los Angeles County alone. Sent 7: Even those with jobs are suffering: 26 percent of California workers earn poverty level wages. Sent 8: The commission's report, "The Path to Equal Justice: A Five-Year Status Report on Access to Justice in California," examined how the legal needs of the state's poor have changed in the last five years as well as both the shortcomings of the justice system and the improvements during that period. Sent 9: Despite increases in state funding to meet the legal needs of the poor, low interest rates (which have reduced the IOLTA fund), high unemployment and the present economic downturn have threatened any gains. Question: Who made the following remark: "Whether we like it or not, sometimes landlords illegally evict tenants, children with disabilities are denied proper care, veterans don't get services guaranteed to them, and elderly people need legal assistance to escape the abuse of a caregiver.". [EX A]:
Jack Londen.

Based on the information present in the given passage, you need to write a correct answer to the given question. A correct answer is one that correctly and completely answers the question. Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. -------- Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Lash is associate dean at the University of Southern California Law School. Sent 2: Johnson is a justice on California's Second District Court of Appeal. Sent 3: Lash and Johnson are co-chairs of the California Commission on Access to Justice. Sent 4: The full report can be viewed at (www.calbar.org). Sent 5: In her year-long odyssey through the California justice system, Katherine, a 35-year-old single mother with three children, experienced failure at every turn. Sent 6: Leaving her abusive husband, she moved into the only apartment she could afford, and soon discovered a broken toilet and non- working oven, rats and roaches, and a fourthfloor landing with no railing. Sent 7: She began withholding rent pending repairs her landlord refused to make, but then her Medi-Cal benefits were cut off when she could not provide rent receipts. Sent 8: She lost health care for her children and herself, although she is a borderline diabetic in need of medication and her children were suffering from rat bites. Sent 9: Katherine tried to seek help through the courts. Sent 10: Representing herself at an administrative hearing, she lost her appeal to restore Medi-Cal benefits because she did not have proper documentation of the rent account. Sent 11: When she went to a courthouse to file a complaint against her landlord, she found the process so confusing that she gave up and went home. Sent 12: According to "The Path to Justice: A Five-Year Status Report on Access to Justice in California," prepared by the California Commission on Access to Justice, Katherine is just one of 4.6 million poor Californians whose basic civil legal needs -- often involving such critical needs as housing, health care, education, employment, safety and transportation -- are not being addressed. Sent 13: California has a critical dearth of legal services for the poor, and, as this report makes clear, it is imperative that the state join with the federal government and private funders to increase resources so that all Californians, regardless of income, have equal access to our justice system. Sent 14: Our justice system is predicated on the assumption that both parties will be represented by lawyers who act as gatekeepers and guides through a complex legal system that would otherwise be inaccessible to many of us. Sent 15: Unfortunately, the most vulnerable members of our society are the least able to afford legal services. Sent 16: California does have a strong network of legal aid organizations that try to help meet the needs of the poor, but there's just one legal aid lawyer available per 10,000 poor people. Sent 17: We may promise "justice for all," but for those who can't afford a lawyer, that promise is often a lie. Sent 18: In its new report, the Commission on Access to Justice notes some significant steps toward providing equal access to justice for all Californians. Question: Why was Katherine unsuccessful in representing herself?. Answer: She did not produce the proper documents. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Sometimes a full Moon moves through Earths shadow. Sent 2: This is a lunar eclipse . Sent 3: During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon travels completely in Earths umbra. Sent 4: During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the Moon enters Earths umbra. Sent 5: When the Moon passes through Earths penumbra, it is a penumbral eclipse. Sent 6: Since Earths shadow is large, a lunar eclipse lasts for hours. Sent 7: Anyone with a view of the Moon can see a lunar eclipse. Sent 8: So unlike a solar eclipse, it doesnt get dark on Earth. Sent 9: Instead it gets dark on the Moon. Sent 10: Partial lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year, but total lunar eclipses are less common. Sent 11: The Moon glows with a dull red coloring during a total lunar eclipse. Question: During a lunar eclipse, does the earth or moon get dark?. Answer: The moon gets dark. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: You know that friction also causes heat. Sent 2: Think about when you rub your hands together. Sent 3: It is friction that makes them warm. Sent 4: But why does this happen? Sent 5: Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster. Sent 6: Faster moving particles have more heat energy. Sent 7: Heat from friction can be useful. Sent 8: Can you think of other places where you might find friction? Sent 9: Friction also lets you light a match. Sent 10: Heat from friction can also cause problems. Sent 11: It can cause a car to overheat. Sent 12: To reduce friction, oil is added to the engine. Sent 13: Oil coats the surfaces of moving parts. Sent 14: This coating of oil makes them slippery. Sent 15: When things are slippery there is less friction. Sent 16: Have you ever seen a sign that says, slippery when wet? Sent 17: This too has to do with friction. Sent 18: Water, like oil, can reduce friction. Sent 19: The wet surface may allow your shoes to slide more easily. Question: Can oil reduce the amount of heat that is produced from the moving parts of a car?. Answer:
Yes.

Based on the information present in the given passage, you need to write a correct answer to the given question. A correct answer is one that correctly and completely answers the question. Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. -------- Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Before the mysterious disappearance of one of its passenger jets this month, Malaysia wasn't a country used to finding itself dominating headlines around the world. Sent 2: Some of its Southeast Asian neighbors, including Indonesia and the Philippines, have suffered devastating natural disasters in recent years and are all too familiar with the media frenzy that accompanies a major crisis. Sent 3: But Malaysia has largely managed to stay out of the international spotlight since its independence from British colonial rule more than half a century ago. Sent 4: "It is one of these countries, because of its geography, that doesn't have earthquakes," said Ernest Bower, senior adviser for Southeast Asia studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Sent 5: "It doesn't have tsunamis. Sent 6: It hasn't been tested with a disaster like this."Sent 7: The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has thrust the government into the dazzling glare of worldwide attention. Sent 8: And it hasn't emerged with very good grades. Sent 9: "I think on a stress test, they're failing," Bower told CNN's Jake Tapper, pointing to the government's coordination of different agencies and communication with other countries. Sent 10: China among critics Criticism and complaints have come from other countries involved in the search for the missing plane, including China and Vietnam, and from the relatives of passengers. Sent 11: Malaysian officials have created confusion by issuing contradictory statements on key aspects of the investigation. Sent 12: The majority of the people on board the plane were Chinese, and Beijing has increasingly voiced its displeasure with the search, especially after Malaysia announced over the weekend that evidence suggested the plane had been deliberately flown west into the Indian Ocean, away from its last confirmed location over the South China Sea. Sent 13: "The new information means the intensive search in the South China Sea for the whole past week was worthless and would never bear fruit," said a commentary published by China's state-run news agency Xinhua. Sent 14: "Even worse, the golden time for saving possible survivors, if any, was generously wasted.". Question: What kind of grades has Malaysia received concerning its handling of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?. Answer: Failing grades. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: When American 11 struck the World Trade Center at 8:46, no one in the White House or traveling with the President knew that it had been hijacked. Sent 2: While that information circulated within the FAA, we found no evidence that the hijacking was reported to any other agency in Washington before 8:46. Sent 3: Most federal agencies learned about the crash in New York from CNN. Sent 4: Within the FAA, the administrator, Jane Garvey, and her acting deputy, Monte Belger, had not been told of a confirmed hijacking before they learned from television that a plane had crashed. Sent 5: Others in the agency were aware of it, as we explained earlier in this chapter. Sent 6: Inside the National Military Command Center, the deputy director of operations and his assistant began notifying senior Pentagon officials of the incident. Sent 7: At about 9:00, the senior NMCC operations officer reached out to the FAA operations center for information. Sent 8: Although the NMCC was advised of the hijacking of American 11, the scrambling of jets was not discussed. Sent 9: In Sarasota, Florida, the presidential motorcade was arriving at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where President Bush was to read to a class and talk about education. Sent 10: White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told us he was standing with the President outside the classroom when Senior Advisor to the President Karl Rove first informed them that a small, twin-engine plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Sent 11: The President's reaction was that the incident must have been caused by pilot error. Sent 12: At 8:55, before entering the classroom, the President spoke to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who was at the White House. Sent 13: She recalled first telling the President it was a twin-engine aircraft-and then a commercial aircraft-that had struck the World Trade Center, adding "that's all we know right now, Mr. President."Sent 14: At the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney had just sat down for a meeting when his assistant told him to turn on his television because a plane had struck the NorthTower of the World Trade Center. Sent 15: The Vice President was wondering "How the hell could a plane hit the World Trade Center" when he saw the second aircraft strike the South Tower. Sent 16: Elsewhere in the White House, a series of 9:00 meetings was about to begin. Sent 17: In the absence of information that the crash was anything other than an accident, the White House staff monitored the news as they went ahead with their regular schedules. Question: How much time had elapsed between American 11 hitting the World Trade Centre and the senior NMCC operations officer reaching out to the FAA operations center for information?. Answer: 14 minutes. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Independence with Partition: The British began to see India's independence as inevitable; however, only a few seemed to understand the vital role of the religious groups. Sent 2: Britain prepared a parliamentary democracy with majority rule, but the majority were Hindus — and Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs had been killing each other in war for many centuries. Sent 3: Nehru's Congress Party, largely Hindu with a socialist leadership, wanted a parliamentary democracy. Sent 4: As counterweight, British legislation reserved parliamentary seats for religious minorities, but the Punjab and Bengal had such a complicated mixture of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs that it was not possible to avoid fights over how separate constituencies were to be formed. Sent 5: The seeds of future trouble were sown. Sent 6: The legislation on reserving seats gave the Muslims the basis for an alternative to an India in which they were only a quarter of the population: Partition. Sent 7: In 1930, the poet Muhammad Iqbal proposed a separate Muslim homeland in the northwest of India. Sent 8: A small group of Indian Muslims at Cambridge came up with the name Pakistan, using the initials of the Punjab, Afghania (N.W. Frontier Province), Kashmir, and Sind (at the same time producing the word pak, meaning "pure"), and adding "stan," the Persian suffix for the word "country. Sent 9: " The Muslim campaign for Partition was led by London-trained Bombay lawyer, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Sent 10: Meanwhile, Gandhi vehemently opposed any dismemberment of the country, and tried to keep people united by fasting to uphold the spirit of love, and by focussing on the common adversary: the British. Sent 11: Advocating civil disobedience, he led his famous Salt March to the sea, to scoop up salt and circumvent the hated British salt tax. Sent 12: This put more than 60,000 in jail. Sent 13: Against this militancy, World War II did not elicit the solidarity of the first. Sent 14: Indians courageously fought alongside the British troops, in Burma, the Middle East, and Europe, but Gandhi saw the British as a provocation for Japanese invasion and was jailed yet again, for launching a "Quit India" campaign in the year 1942. Sent 15: Some anti-British extremists saw the Japanese as an Asian liberator. Sent 16: Winston Churchill didn't want any Indian independence and so it was probably as well for India that he was defeated by Attlee's Labor Party in 1945. Sent 17: With riots growing ever more bloody in Bengal, Bihar, and the Punjab, India's last viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, kept a mandate to make the British departure as quick and as smooth as possible. Sent 18: Quick it was — six months after his arrival — but not smooth. Question: Who led his famous Salt March to the sea, to scoop up salt and circumvent the hated British salt tax?. Answer:
Ghandi.

A correct answer is one that correctly and completely answers the question. Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Plants also detect the daily cycle of light and darkness. Sent 2: Do you know how plants respond to these changes? Sent 3: Some plants open their leaves during the day. Sent 4: It is during these hours the plant can collect sunlight. Sent 5: At night, the plant closes its leaves to prevent water loss. Sent 6: Many plants respond to the change in the length of the day. Sent 7: As days grow shorter, some plants respond by going dormant. Sent 8: Dormant is when a plant suspends its growth. Sent 9: It does this in order to survive. Sent 10: Shorter days signal the coming of winter. Sent 11: Winter in most areas means extreme cold. Sent 12: It is also very dry in the winter months. Sent 13: As winter approaches, some plants respond by their leaves changing color. Sent 14: After the change in color, they fall off. Sent 15: This dormancy period helps trees. Sent 16: It allows them to survive the cold and dry winter. Sent 17: Plants only want to grow when conditions are right. Question: How do plants respond as the length of the day changes?. SOLUTION: Some plants suspend their growth. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Water flowing over Earths surface or underground causes erosion and deposition. Sent 2: Water flowing over a steeper slope moves faster and causes more erosion. Sent 3: How water transports particles depends on their size. Sent 4: When water slows down, it starts depositing sediment. Sent 5: This process starts with the largest particles first. Sent 6: Runoff erodes the land after a heavy rain. Sent 7: It picks up sediment. Sent 8: Runoff carries most of the sediment to bodies of water. Sent 9: Mountain streams erode narrow, V-shaped valleys and waterfalls. Sent 10: Erosion and deposition by slow-flowing rivers create broad floodplains and meanders. Sent 11: Deposition by streams and rivers may form alluvial fans and deltas. Sent 12: Floodwaters may deposit natural levees. Sent 13: Erosion and deposition by groundwater can form caves and sinkholes. Sent 14: Stalactites and stalagmites are mineral deposits. Sent 15: They build up in caves as water continues to drip. Question: What body of water carries the particles?. SOLUTION: Rivers. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: (CNN) -- Guatemala's government has declared a state of siege and sent hundreds of troops to a northern province where officials say a Mexican drug gang is overtaking towns and threatening residents. Sent 2: President Alvaro Colom announced the 30-day emergency rule in Alta Verapaz on Sunday. Sent 3: The rule allows the military to order anyone suspected of conspiring against the government to be arrested and imprisoned without a warrant, the state-run AGN news agency said. Sent 4: "Starting today, combined forces will retake the streets of Alta Verapaz," a government statement released Sunday morning said. Sent 5: Government data shows cells of the drug gang known as Los Zetas are in the area to protect drug trafficking paths between Honduras and Mexico, "intimidating the population with their heavy weapons and threatening farmers to give up their land for criminal activities," AGN reported. Sent 6: The state of siege also allows the government to place greater restrictions on public gatherings, travel visas and gun licenses, among other things, according to AGN. Sent 7: "The population should be calm. Sent 8: What we are doing is not intended to persecute honest, working people," Interior Minister Carlos Menocal told reporters. Sent 9: Menocal said operations in the coming days would aim to boost regional security, regain control of territory, identify criminal gangs and capture their members. Sent 10: In an interview with CNN en Espanol last month, Menocal said his country needed more help from the United States to combat cartels, which were increasingly carving out new drug transport paths. Sent 11: "In the end, the large majority of drugs travel through Central America, and the assignment of resources or the financial support of the United States government is not the same as Colombia and Mexico receive," he said. Sent 12: Menocal said clashes between authorities and Los Zetas had notably increased. Question: Who is the president of Guatemala?. SOLUTION:
Alvaro Colom is the president of Guatemala.

Sent 2: This group worked against the Nazis, and in it Camus assumed the nom de guerre Beauchard. Sent 3: Camus became the paper's editor in 1943. Sent 4: He first met Sartre at the dress rehearsal of Sartre's play, The Flies, in June 1943. Sent 5: When the Ailies liberated Paris in August 1944, Camus witnessed and reported the last of the fighting. Sent 6: Soon after the event on 6 August 1945, he was one of the few French editors to publicly express opposition and disgust to the United States' dropping the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Sent 7: He resigned from Combat in 1947 when it became a commercial paper. Sent 8: After the war, Camus began frequenting the Cafe de Flore on the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris with Sartre and others. Sent 9: He also toured the United States to lecture about French thought. Sent 10: Although he leaned left, politically, his strong criticisms of Communist doctrine did not win him any friends in the Communist parties and eventually alienated Sartre. Sent 11: In 1949, his tuberculosis returned, whereupon he lived in seclusion for two years. Sent 12: In 1951, he published The Rebel, a philosophical analysis of rebellion and revolution which expressed his rejection of communism. Sent 13: Upsetting many of his colleagues and contemporaries in France, the book brought about the final split with Sartre. Sent 14: The dour reception depressed Camus; he began to translate plays. Sent 15: Camus's first significant contribution to philosophy was his idea of the absurd. Sent 16: He saw it as the result of our desire for clarity and meaning within a world and condition that offers neither, which he expressed in The Myth of Sisyphus and incorporated into many of his other works, such as The Stranger and The Plague. Sent 17: Despite his split from his "study partner", Sartre, Camus was still categorized as an Existentialist. Sent 18: He specifically rejected that label in his essay "Enigma" and elsewhere. Question: What label assigned to him did Camus reject?. Answer: Existentialist. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: At 9:48, a representative from the White House shelter asked if there were any indications of another hijacked aircraft.

Sent 5: The White House requested (1) the implementation of continuity of government measures, (2) fighter escorts for Air Force One, and (3) a fighter combat air patrol over Washington, D.C. Sent 6: By 10:03, when United 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, there had been no mention of its hijacking and the FAA had not yet been added to the teleconference. Sent 7: The President and the Vice President The President was seated in a classroom when, at 9:05, Andrew Card whispered to him: "A second plane hit the second tower.

Sent 14: Long Beach clients regained services they had lost years ago when federal budget cuts and dwindling grants reduced the staff of 15 lawyers to five and cut immigration and consumer law programs.

Sent 10: This responsibility gives many the false impression that the DCI has line authority over the heads of these agencies and has the power to shift resources within these budgets as the need arises. Sent 11: Neither is true. Sent 12: In fact, the DCI's real authority has been directly proportional to his personal closeness to the president, which has waxed and waned over the years, and to others in government, especially the secretary of defense. Sent 13: Intelligence agencies under the Department of Defense account for approximately 80 percent of all U.S. spending for intelligence, including some that supports a national customer base and some that supports specific Defense Department or military service needs. Sent 14: As they are housed in the Defense Department, these agencies are keenly attentive to the military's strategic and tactical requirements. Question: What percentage of intelligence spending do these intelligence agencies housed under the Department of Defense receive and why?. SOLUTION: They receive 80% and are very attentive to the military's strategic and tactical requirements. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The world can be divided into three climate zones. Sent 2: The first climate zone is the polar zone. Sent 3: As it sounds, the polar zone is near earths poles. Sent 4: The polar zone has very long and cold winters. Sent 5: Brrr!!!! Sent 6: Near the equator is the tropical zone. Sent 7: The tropical zone is known for being hot and wet. Sent 8: Between these two zones is the temperate zone. Sent 9: Temperatures there tend to be mild. Sent 10: Its not too hot and not too cold. Sent 11: You might expect places near the equator to be hot and wet. Sent 12: Thats not always the case. Sent 13: Sometimes there are other factors at work. Sent 14: These factors can affect the local climate type or a region. Sent 15: Oceans and mountain ranges can have a major impact. Sent 16: They can greatly influence the climate of an area. Sent 17: Many factors influence an areas climate. Question: What is the tropical zone?. SOLUTION:

Sent 3: Unfortunately , the boy dies and is buried . Sent 4: The story then moves forward to 1920 and shows the expedition led by scientist Sir Basil Walden and business man Stanley Preston finding the tomb . Sent 5: They ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid , a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud . Sent 6: Sir Basil is bitten by a snake just after finding the tomb . Sent 7: He recovers , but has a relapse after arriving back in Cairo .

Sent 2: I never turn back, though often so inclined, and in this particular instance, amid such surroundings, everything seemed singularly unfavorable for the calm acceptance of so grim a company. Sent 3: Suppressing my fears, I soon discovered that although as hairy as bears and as crooked as summit pines, the strange creatures were sufficiently erect to belong to our own species. Sent 4: They proved to be nothing more formidable than Mono Indians dressed in the skins of sage-rabbits. Sent 5: Both the men and the women begged persistently for whisky and tobacco, and seemed so accustomed to denials that I found it impossible to convince them that I had none to give. Sent 6: Excepting the names of these two products of civilization, they seemed to understand not a word of English; but I afterward learned that they were on their way to Yosemite Valley to feast awhile on trout and procure a load of acorns to carry back through the pass to their huts on the shore of Mono Lake.

A: Suppressed his fear. **** Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Eric , a young boy , is excited about his birthday after reading a book and believes that a train will come for him , despite his sister Jill's disbelief .

TASK DEFINITION: Based on the information present in the given passage, you need to write a correct answer to the given question. A correct answer is one that correctly and completely answers the question. Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Animated history of the US. Sent 2: Of course the cartoon is highly oversimplified, and most critics consider it one of the weakest parts of the film. Sent 3: But it makes a valid claim which you ignore entirely: That the strategy to promote "gun rights" for white people and to outlaw gun possession by black people was a way to uphold racism without letting an openly terrorist organization like the KKK flourish. Sent 4: Did the 19th century NRA in the southern states promote gun rights for black people? Sent 5: I highly doubt it. Sent 6: But if they didn't, one of their functions was to continue the racism of the KKK. Sent 7: This is the key message of this part of the animation, which is again being ignored by its critics. Sent 8: Buell shooting in Flint. Sent 9: You write: "Fact: The little boy was the class thug, already suspended from school for stabbing another kid with a pencil, and had fought with Kayla the day before". Sent 10: This characterization of a six-year-old as a pencil-stabbing thug is exactly the kind of hysteria that Moore's film warns against. Sent 11: It is the typical right-wing reaction which looks for simple answers that do not contradict the Republican mindset. Sent 12: The kid was a little bastard, and the parents were involved in drugs -- case closed. Sent 13: But why do people deal with drugs? Sent 14: Because it's so much fun to do so? Sent 15: It is by now well documented that the CIA tolerated crack sales in US cities to fund the operation of South American "contras" It is equally well known that the so-called "war on drugs" begun under the Nixon administration is a failure which has cost hundreds of billions and made America the world leader in prison population (both in relative and absolute numbers). Question: Under whose administration did the war on drugs begin and was the focus of the film. SOLUTION: Nixon. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Glory of Melaka: In the early days, if you were not a pirate or a mosquito, Melaka was not much of a place to live. Sent 2: The land was infertile, just a swampy plain, the river small and sluggish. Sent 3: But it had a sheltered harbor, protected from the monsoons by neighboring Sumatra. Sent 4: Later, the strategic location and deep-water channel close to the coast brought in the bigger vessels of the trade-wind traffic crossing the Indian Ocean. Sent 5: The first to realize the larger commercial potential, as so often throughout the country's subsequent history, were the Chinese. Sent 6: In 1409, under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, a Chinese fleet of 50 ships headed by Admiral Cheng Ho called in at Melaka. Sent 7: They made Parameswara an offer he could not refuse: port facilities and an annual financial tribute in exchange for Chinese protection against the marauding Thais. Sent 8: In 1411, Parameswara took the money to Beijing himself, and the emperor gratefully made him a vassal king. Sent 9: Twenty years later, the Chinese withdrew again from the South Seas trade. Sent 10: The new ruler of Melaka, Sri Maharajah, switched his allegiance to the Muslim trading fraternity by marrying into the Muslim faith, wedding the daughter of a sultan in Sumatra. Sent 11: Islam won its place in Malaya not by conquest — as had been the case in North Africa and Europe — but by trade, dynastic alliances, and peaceful preaching. Sent 12: Bengali peddlers had already brought the faith to the east coast. Sent 13: In Melaka and throughout the peninsula, Islam thrived as a strong, male-dominated religion of individuality, offering dynamic leadership and preaching brotherhood and self-reliance — all qualities ideally suited to the coastal trade. Sent 14: At the same time, Sufi mystics synthesized Islamic teaching with local Malay traditions of animistic magic and charisma, though Islam did not become the state religion until Muzaffar Shah became sultan of Melaka (1446–1459). Sent 15: But the key figure in the sultanate was Tun Perak, bendahara (prime minister) and military commander. Sent 16: He expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands. Sent 17: He also had orang laut pirates patrolling the seas to extort tribute from passing ships. Sent 18: After Ailied district chiefs had repelled assaults from Thai-controlled armies from Pahang, Tun Perak personally led a famous victory over a Thai fleet off Batu Pahat in 1456. Question: Why did Parameswara take money to Beijing in 1411?. SOLUTION: To ask for protection against the Thais. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Although Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM initially contemplated using established al Qaeda members to execute the planes operation, the late 1999 arrival in Kandahar of four aspiring jihadists from Germany suddenly presented a more attractive alternative. Sent 2: The Hamburg group shared the anti-U.S. fervor of the other candidates for the operation, but added the enormous advantages of fluency in English and familiarity with life in the West, based on years that each member of the group had spent living in Germany. Sent 3: Not surprisingly, Mohamed Atta, Ramzi Binalshibh, Marwan al Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah would all become key players in the 9/11 conspiracy. Sent 4: Mohamed Atta was born on September 1, 1968, in Kafr el Sheikh, Egypt, to a middle-class family headed by his father, an attorney. Sent 5: After graduating from Cairo University with a degree in architectural engineering in 1990, Atta worked as an urban planner in Cairo for a couple of years. Sent 6: In the fall of 1991, he asked a German family he had met in Cairo to help him continue his education in Germany. Sent 7: They suggested he come to Hamburg and invited him to live with them there, at least initially. Sent 8: After completing a course in German, Atta traveled to Germany for the first time in July 1992. Sent 9: He resided briefly in Stuttgart and then, in the fall of 1992, moved to Hamburg to live with his host family. Sent 10: After enrolling at the University of Hamburg, he promptly transferred into the city engineering and planning course at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, where he would remain registered as a student until the fall of 1999. Sent 11: He appears to have applied himself fairly seriously to his studies (at least in comparison to his jihadist friends) and actually received his degree shortly before traveling to Afghanistan. Sent 12: In school, Atta came across as very intelligent and reasonably pleasant, with an excellent command of the German language. Sent 13: When Atta arrived in Germany, he appeared religious, but not fanatically so. Sent 14: This would change, especially as his tendency to assert leadership became increasingly pronounced. Sent 15: According to Binalshibh, as early as 1995 Atta sought to organize a Muslim student association in Hamburg. Sent 16: In the fall of 1997, he joined a working group at the Quds mosque in Hamburg, a group designed to bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians. Sent 17: Atta proved a poor bridge, however, because of his abrasive and increasingly dogmatic personality. Sent 18: But among those who shared his beliefs, Atta stood out as a decisionmaker. Question: What schools did Mohamed Atta attend?. SOLUTION:
The Technical University of Hamburg.

Sent 8: At about 9:20, security personnel at FAA headquarters set up a hijacking teleconference with several agencies, including the Defense Department. Sent 9: The NMCC officer who participated told us that the call was monitored only periodically because the information was sporadic, it was of little value, and there were other important tasks.

Sent 16: The first topic addressed in the White House video teleconference-at about 9:40-was the physical security of the President, the White House, and federal agencies.

Question: When did the Secret Service initiate security enhancements around the White House?.
Solution: After the second plane hit the world trade towers.

Sent 6: Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz was confirmed in March 2001 and Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith in July.

Sent 2: In both of these, he analyzed the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals, as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Sent 3: Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States, and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science. Sent 4: Tocqueville was active in French politics, first under the July Monarchy (1830-1848) and then during the Second Republic (1849-1851) which succeeded the February 1848 Revolution. Sent 5: He retired from political life after Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's 2 December 1851 coup, and thereafter began work on The Old Regime and the Revolution. Sent 6: He argued that the importance of the French Revolution was to continue the process of modernizing and centralizing the French state which had begun under King Louis XIV.

The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: During this time, Alexander adopted some elements of Persian dress and customs at his court, notably the custom of proskynesis, either a symbolic kissing of the hand, or prostration on the ground, that Persians showed to their social superiors. Sent 2: The Greeks regarded the gesture as the province of deities and believed that Alexander meant to deify himself by requiring it. Sent 3: This cost him the sympathies of many of his countrymen, and he eventually abandoned it. Sent 4: A plot against his life was revealed, and one of his officers, Philotas, was executed for failing to alert Alexander. Sent 5: The death of the son necessitated the death of the father, and thus Parmenion, who had been charged with guarding the treasury at Ecbatana, was assassinated at Alexander's command, to prevent attempts at vengeance. Sent 6: Most infamously, Alexander personally killed the man who had saved his life at Granicus, Cleitus the Black, during a violent drunken altercation at Maracanda (modern day Samarkand in Uzbekistan), in which Cleitus accused Alexander of several judgemental mistakes and most especially, of having forgotten the Macedonian ways in favour of a corrupt oriental lifestyle. Sent 7: Later, in the Central Asian campaign, a second plot against his life was revealed, this one instigated by his own royal pages. Sent 8: His official historian, Callisthenes of Olynthus, was implicated in the plot; however, historians have yet to reach a consensus regarding this involvement. Sent 9: Callisthenes had fallen out of favor by leading the opposition to the attempt to introduce proskynesis. Question: Why did Parmenion have to die?. SOLUTION: The death of the son necessitated the death of the father. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: American Airlines Flight 11: FAA Awareness. Sent 2: Although the Boston Center air traffic controller realized at an early stage that there was something wrong with American 11, he did not immediately interpret the plane's failure to respond as a sign that it had been hijacked. Sent 3: At 8:14, when the flight failed to heed his instruction to climb to 35,000 feet, the controller repeatedly tried to raise the flight. Sent 4: He reached out to the pilot on the emergency frequency. Sent 5: Though there was no response, he kept trying to contact the aircraft. Sent 6: At 8:21, American 11 turned off its transponder, immediately degrading the information available about the aircraft. Sent 7: The controller told his supervisor that he thought something was seriously wrong with the plane, although neither suspected a hijacking. Sent 8: The supervisor instructed the controller to follow standard procedures for handling a "no radio" aircraft. Sent 9: The controller checked to see if American Airlines could establish communication with American 11. Sent 10: He became even more concerned as its route changed, moving into another sector's airspace. Sent 11: Controllers immediately began to move aircraft out of its path, and asked other aircraft in the vicinity to look for American 11. Sent 12: At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11: American 11: We have some planes. Sent 13: Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay. Sent 14: We are returning to the airport. Sent 15: The controller only heard something unintelligible; he did not hear the specific words "we have some planes."Sent 16: The next transmission came seconds later: American 11: Nobody move. Sent 17: Everything will be okay. Sent 18: If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Question: At what point was there communication established with American 11 and was said?. SOLUTION: At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11: American 11: We have some planes.Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay.We are returning to the airport. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Rolfe put down the little dog he had been holding, and went out into the hall. Sent 2: The dog accompanied him, frisking about him in friendly fashion. Sent 3: Rolfe first examined the bedroom that he had seen Inspector Chippenfield enter. Sent 4: It was a small room, containing a double bed. Sent 5: It was prettily furnished in white, with white curtains, and toilet-table articles in ivory to match. Sent 6: A glance round the room convinced Rolfe that it was impossible for a man to secrete himself in it. Sent 7: The door of the wardrobe had been flung open by the inspector, and the dresses and other articles of feminine apparel it contained flung out on the floor. Sent 8: There was no other hiding-place possible, except beneath the bed, and the ruthless hand of the inspector had torn off the white muslin bed hangings, revealing emptiness underneath. Sent 9: Rolfe went out into the hall again, and entered the room next the bedroom. Sent 10: This apartment was apparently used as a dining-room, for it contained a large table, a few chairs, a small sideboard, a spirit-stand, a case of books and ornaments, and two small oak presses. Sent 11: Plainly, there was no place in it where a man could hide himself. Sent 12: The next room was the bathroom, which was also empty. Sent 13: Opposite the bathroom was a small bedroom, very barely furnished, offering no possibility of concealment. Sent 14: Then the passage opened into a large roomy kitchen, the full width of the rooms on both sides of the hall, and the kitchen completed the flat. Question: How many bedrooms did Rolfe examine?.
