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. Sent 7: The failure of the Revolution came from the inexperience of the deputies who were too wedded to abstract Enlightenment ideals.

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?.

Sent 3: As part of a legal experiment, litigants without lawyers across California are using computerized video kiosks to prepare common court filings and seek basic legal advice. Sent 4: The kiosk used by Williams is part of a statewide effort to cope with a flood of litigants who cannot afford or refuse to hire lawyers. Sent 5: Court officials statewide fear the number of self-represented litigants has reached crisis levels and threatens to clog court calendars. Sent 6: Like Williams, more than 6,000 Orange County litigants have initiated court actions on I-CAN! Sent 7: kiosks or accessed the programs on the Internet, using home computers. Sent 8: Similar programs are operating in Sacramento, San Diego and Ventura. Sent 9: A recent study of the kiosks' first 18 months of operation concluded it is too soon to tell if the system will relieve pressure on court calendars. Sent 10: But the report, by UC Irvine's School of Social Ecology, said users were overwhelmingly positive about the free legal assistance. Sent 11: "It's made life a lot easier for me," Williams said. Sent 12: "It's helped keep me from going to the poorhouse."Sent 13: The 29-year-old Orange resident was directed to a kiosk in the Lamoreaux Justice Center by court staff. Sent 14: After putting on headphones and following the directions of a videotaped instructor, Williams filled out a quarter-inch stack of paternity and custody documents.

Sent 3: After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner. Sent 4: His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow. Sent 5: The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards. Sent 6: Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right. Sent 7: The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin. Sent 8: Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best. Sent 9: Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential. Sent 10: Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance. Sent 11: Perhaps this will be more saleable, he thought and began to write. Sent 12: They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before. Sent 13: "What about Roger?"Sent 14: she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered. Question: What steps did Allan take before writing?. Answer: Sat at desk and filled his pen with ink.

Sent 6: There were fourteen of us, but only ten lived to grow up. Sent 7: He belonged to Mr. Galloway at the time of my birth, but even at that, I did not take the name Galloway as it would seem like I should. Sent 8: My father was a good carpenter; he was a fine cook, too; learned that back in Virginia. Sent 9: I'll tell you something interesting. Sent 10: The first cook stove ever brought to this town was one my father had his master to bring. Sent 11: He was cook at the Anthony House. Sent 12: You know about that, don't you? Sent 13: It was the first real fine hotel in Little Rock. Sent 14: When father went there to be head cook, all they had to cook on was big fireplaces and the big old Dutch ovens. Sent 15: Father just kept on telling about the stoves they had in Virginia, and at last they sent and got him one; it had to come by boat and took a long time.

Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. Paragraph- Sent 1: The day was just breaking, as I left the tower; though it was still too dark in the house to be able to see without a light, and I took one of the study candles with me on my 'round. Sent 2: By the time I had finished the ground floor, the daylight was creeping in, wanly, through the barred windows. Sent 3: My search had shown me nothing fresh. Sent 4: Everything appeared to be in order, and I was on the point of extinguishing my candle, when the thought suggested itself to me to have another glance 'round the cellars. Sent 5: I had not, if I remember rightly, been into them since my hasty search on the evening of the attack. Sent 6: For, perhaps, the half of a minute, I hesitated. Sent 7: I would have been very willing to forego the task--as, indeed, I am inclined to think any man well might--for of all the great, awe-inspiring rooms in this house, the cellars are the hugest and weirdest. Sent 8: Great, gloomy caverns of places, unlit by any ray of daylight. Sent 9: Yet, I would not shirk the work. Sent 10: I felt that to do so would smack of sheer cowardice. Sent 11: Besides, as I reassured myself, the cellars were really the most unlikely places in which to come across anything dangerous; considering that they can be entered, only through a heavy oaken door, the key of which, I carry always on my person. Question: What job can you assume he had? (select everything that could apply). A teacher. Paragraph- Sent 1: You couldnt survive without your skin. Sent 2: It has many important functions. Sent 3: The main function of the skin is controlling what enters and leaves the body. Sent 4: It prevents the loss of too much water from the body. Sent 5: It also prevents bacteria and other microorganisms from entering the body. Sent 6: The skin helps maintain a constant body temperature. Sent 7: It keeps the body cool in two ways. Sent 8: Sweat from sweat glands in the skin evaporates to cool the body. Sent 9: Blood vessels in the skin dilate, or widen. Sent 10: This action increases blood flow to the body surface. Sent 11: This allows more heat to reach the surface. Sent 12: The heat is then able to radiate off the body. Sent 13: The opposite happens to retain body heat. Sent 14: Blood vessels in the skin constrict, or narrow. Sent 15: This decreases blood flow to the body surface. Sent 16: This reduces the amount of heat that reaches the surface. Sent 17: When this happens, less heat can be lost to the air. Question: What decreases blood flow to the body's surface?. Blood vessels.

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 10: The FAA manager of the teleconference also remembered that the military participated only briefly before the Pentagon was hit. Sent 11: Both individuals agreed that the teleconference played no role in coordinating a response to the attacks of 9/11.

Sent 7: From there, his career continued on the fast track and Bailey was appointed by Gov. Frank O'Bannon to sit on the Indiana Court of Appeals First District, where he works today. Sent 8: Despite his quick climb up the legal ladder, Bailey has always found time to help out in causes he feels strongly about.

Sent 2: It occurs between particles or objects. Sent 3: It causes them to attract or repel each other. Sent 4: They do not even have to touch. Sent 5: This is unlike the typical push or pull you may be familiar with. Sent 6: All electric charge is based on the protons and electrons in atoms. Sent 7: A proton has a positive electric charge. Sent 8: An electron has a negative electric charge. Sent 9: Forces on Charged Objects Most atoms are balanced electrically. Sent 10: They have the same number of positive and negative charges. Sent 11: Therefore, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Sent 12: Neutrons do not matter as they have no charge. Sent 13: When an object loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged. Sent 14: There are now more protons than electrons inside the atom. Sent 15: The lost electrons may remain free. Sent 16: Or, they may attach to another object. Sent 17: The new object now has more electrons than protons. Sent 18: It then becomes negatively charged. Question: What physical property occurs between particles and objects?. A: A physical property between particles and objects is an electrical charge. **** Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Golden Heian Era: The geomancers in 794 decided that Heian-kyo (modern Kyoto) would be an auspicious site for the imperial family. Sent 2: It was indeed — until 1869. Sent 3: Grants of tax-free land over the years had been made to Buddhist temples and members of the court aristocracy. Sent 4: The most powerful families thus carved out for themselves whole regions that were to become the fiefdoms of Japanese feudalism. Sent 5: By the end of the eighth century the clans had created a hierarchy of shiki, or rights, from the highest to the lowest ranks of society. Sent 6: The aristocrat or court patron lent his prestige to a powerful provincial proprietor, who employed a competent estate-manager to oversee smallholders, who in turn worked their farms with dependent laborers. Sent 7: This elaborate structure of interdependent rights and obligations was to serve Japanese society right into the 20th century. Sent 8: Meanwhile, Heian court life blossomed in an effusion of aesthetic expression. Sent 9: Princes and princesses judged the merits of birds, insects, flowers, roots, or seashells. Sent 10: Literary party games held in ornate palace gardens required each guest to compose a small poem as his wine cup floated toward him along a miniature winding channel of water. Sent 11: Expeditions were organized to the best viewing points for the first spring cherry blossoms, and special pavilions were built to watch the rising of the full moon. Sent 12: Every gesture, from the most banal opening of an umbrella to the sublimest act of lovemaking, had its appropriate ceremonial. Sent 13: Conversation often took the form of elegant exchanges of improvised verse. Sent 14: The changing role of Chinese culture in Japanese life was epitomized in the language itself. Sent 15: In the absence of an indigenous alphabet, Japanese scholars had with the greatest difficulty tried to adapt the complex ideograms of monosyllabic Chinese to the essentially polysyllabic Japanese. Sent 16: Thus developed the katakana system used as a vehicle for writing Buddhist names and concepts. Sent 17: After rival Fujiwara factions had been struggling for years to gain control of the imperial throne, they turned to the Taira and Minamoto armies in 1156 to wage the four-year war that heralded the end of the golden age of the Heian court. Sent 18: The Taira, controlling the region along the Inland Sea, defeated the Minamoto armies based in the Kanto province east of the capital. Question: What time period was Heian-kyo used as a site for the imperial family?. A:
From 794 to 1869. ****

Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: From Babylon, Alexander went to Susa, one of the Achaemenid capitals, and captured its legendary treasury. Sent 2: He sent the bulk of his army to the Persian ceremonial capital of Persepolis via the Royal Road. Sent 3: Alexander himself took selected troops on the direct route to the city. Sent 4: He had to storm the pass of the Persian Gates (in the modern Zagros Mountains) which had been blocked by a Persian army under Ariobarzanes and then hurried to Persepolis before its garrison could loot the treasury. Sent 5: On entering Persepolis, Alexander allowed his troops to loot the city for several days. Sent 6: Alexander stayed in Persepolis for five months. Sent 7: During his stay a fire broke out in the eastern palace of Xerxes and spread to the rest of the city. Sent 8: Possible causes include a drunken accident or deliberate revenge for the burning of the Acropolis of Athens during the Second Persian War. Question: What retribution may have taken place due to the burning of the Acropolis of Athens?. Ex Output: A fire broke out. Ex Input: 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?. Ex Output: UC Berkeley. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: In short, the United States has to help defeat an ideology, not just a group of people, and we must do so under difficult circumstances. Sent 2: How can the United States and its friends help moderate Muslims combat the extremist ideas? Sent 3: Recommendation: The U.S. government must define what the message is, what it stands for. Sent 4: We should offer an example of moral leadership in the world, committed to treat people humanely, abide by the rule of law, and be generous and caring to our neighbors. Sent 5: America and Muslim friends can agree on respect for human dignity and opportunity. Sent 6: To Muslim parents, terrorists like Bin Laden have nothing to offer their children but visions of violence and death. Sent 7: America and its friends have a crucial advantage-we can offer these parents a vision that might give their children a better future. Sent 8: If we heed the views of thoughtful leaders in the Arab and Muslim world, a moderate consensus can be found. Sent 9: That vision of the future should stress life over death: individual educational and economic opportunity. Sent 10: This vision includes widespread political participation and contempt for indiscriminate violence. Sent 11: It includes respect for the rule of law, openness in discussing differences, and tolerance for opposing points of view. Sent 12: Recommendation: Where Muslim governments, even those who are friends, do not respect these principles, the United States must stand for a better future. Sent 13: One of the lessons of the long Cold War was that short-term gains in cooperating with the most repressive and brutal governments were too often outweighed by long-term setbacks for America's stature and interests. Sent 14: American foreign policy is part of the message. Sent 15: America's policy choices have consequences. Sent 16: Right or wrong, it is simply a fact that American policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and American actions in Iraq are dominant staples of popular commentary across the Arab and Muslim world. Sent 17: That does not mean U.S. choices have been wrong. Sent 18: It means those choices must be integrated with America's message of opportunity to the Arab and Muslim world. Question: Who should be generous and caring to their neighbours. Ex Output:
The U. S. Government.

Teacher: 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. Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example: Paragraph- Sent 1: Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapiʻolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sent 2: He is the only President to have been born in Hawaii. Sent 3: He was born to a white mother and a black father. Sent 4: His mother, Ann Dunham (1942-1995), was born in Wichita, Kansas, of mostly English descent, with some German, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, and Welsh ancestry. Question: How old was Obama's mother when he was born? Solution: 19. Reason: Obama was born in 1961. His mother was born in 1942 and 1961-1942=19. Therefore, any of the following responses are considred correct: '19' and 'almost twenty'. Now, solve this instance: Paragraph- Sent 1: For much of the world, the Algarve is synonymous with Portugal, yet the Portuguese will tell you the exact opposite: the region has little in common with the rest of the country. Sent 2: The southern stretch of coast is more reminiscent of a North African landscape than a European one. Sent 3: It has no cosmopolitan cities, like Lisbon and Porto, which are farther north. Sent 4: Most of Portugal is known for quaint towns, medieval castles, and grand palaces. Sent 5: The Algarve is more recognizable for impenetrable blocks of tourist apartments, hotels, and meticulously manicured golf courses. Sent 6: And beaches. Sent 7: Think Algarve and the mind pictures long, glorious stretches of golden sands, secluded coves framed by odd ochre-colored rock formations, and deep green waters. Sent 8: With about 160 km (100 miles) of coastline, Portugal's southern province is one of Europe's premier beach destinations. Sent 9: The occasionally chilly ocean is the Atlantic, but the Algarve has a sultry Mediterranean feel. Sent 10: Its consistent climate is the best in Portugal, and one of the kindest in the world: more than 250 days of sunshine a year — more than almost any other international resort area. Sent 11: The moderating effect of the Gulf Stream produces a fresh springtime breeze throughout winter, and in late January and February, white almond blossoms blanket the fields. Sent 12: In summer the heat is intense but rarely unbearable, and regardless, beautiful beaches and innumerable pools are always just a dive away. Sent 13: Magnificent year-round weather has made the Algarve a huge destination for sporting vacations. Sent 14: Superb golf facilities abound — several with tees dramatically clinging to cliffs and fairways just skirting the edge of the ocean — and horseback riding, tennis, big-game fishing, sailing, and windsurfing are immensely popular. Sent 15: Sports, beaches and hospitable weather — not to mention easily organized package vacations — are surely the reasons the Algarve receives as many visitors as the rest of Portugal in its entirety. Sent 16: But it's not just international tourists that descend on the Algarve; many Portuguese from Lisbon and elsewhere in the north have holiday homes and spend their summer vacations here. Sent 17: The coast is neatly divided into the rugged Barlavento to the west and the flat beauty of Sotavento to the east. Sent 18: West is where you'll find the famous orange cliffs and surreal eroded rock stacks. Question: Which division of the Algarve coast has the orange cliffs and rock stacks?. Student:
Barlavento, West.

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. Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Hundreds of thousands of years before China was to become the world's longest-running civilization, the prologue was enacted by means of the flicker of a carefully tended fire. Sent 2: Peking Man, a forebear of Homo sapiens, achieved a mastery of fire. Sent 3: We might call it the first Chinese invention. Sent 4: Not that he devised flint and steel, matches, or any other way of creating fire. Sent 5: Peking Man simply learned how to capture flame, perhaps from a forest fire, and keep it alight. Sent 6: He thus enjoyed two revolutionary luxuries: light and heat. Sent 7: Technologically and sociologically, it was a phenomenal breakthrough: with fire, communities could live year 'round in one cave, in which cooking and even smelting could be pursued. Sent 8: And so, by 600,000 b.c., about 50 km (31 miles) southwest of present-day Beijing, the ancestors of mankind were ready to settle down. Sent 9: Several hundred thousand years later, when Marco Polo reached the capital of China, he was astonished by a further development in fire technology. Sent 10: The Chinese, he announced, used black stones dug out of mountains as fuel. Sent 11: Europeans did not yet have a word for "coal," nor had they discovered a use for it. Sent 12: The First Dynasty The confluence of mythology and history in China took place around 4,000 years ago during what is referred to as the Xia (Hsia) Dynasty. Sent 13: This was still the Stone Age, but the people are thought to have made silk from thread produced by the worms they cultivated on the leaves of their mulberry trees. Sent 14: And written language (which evolved as early as 4,500 to 5,000 years ago) was already in use, originally by oracles and then by official scribes — China's first scholars. Sent 15: During the second of the quasi-legendary dynasties, the Shang (from about the 16th to 11th centuries b.c.), the Chinese developed an interest in art. Sent 16: Careful geometric designs as well as dragon and bird motifs adorned bowls and implements. Sent 17: And with the arrival of the Bronze Age, the Chinese created bronze vessels of such beauty and originality that, until modern times, archaeologists refused to believe they were cast 3,000 years ago. Sent 18: The Shang Dynasty gave rise to the concept of one Chinese nation under one government. Question: When the Xia Dynasty came about was written language already in place?. A: Yes. **** Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Earth processes have not changed over time. Sent 2: The way things happen now is the same way things happened in the past. Sent 3: Mountains grow and mountains slowly wear away. Sent 4: The same process is at work the same as it was billions of years ago. Sent 5: As the environment changes, living creatures adapt. Sent 6: They change over time. Sent 7: Some organisms may not be able to adapt. Sent 8: They become extinct. Sent 9: Becoming extinct means they die out completely. Sent 10: Some geologists study the history of the Earth. Sent 11: They want to learn about Earths past. Sent 12: They use clues from rocks and fossils. Sent 13: They use these clues to make sense of events. Sent 14: The goal is to place things in the order they happened. Sent 15: They also want to know how long it took for those events to happen. Question: In what way is the Earth the same as the past?. A: Earths processes do not change, and the same processes that occurred billions of years ago continue today. **** Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Romans: Legend says Rome was founded by Romulus, sired with twin brother Remus by Mars of a Vestal Virgin and abandoned on the Palatine Hill to be suckled by a she-wolf. Sent 2: Historians agree with the mythmakers that the site and traditional founding date of 753 b.c. Sent 3: are just about right. Sent 4: Under Etruscan domination, Rome had been a monarchy until a revolt in 510 b.c. Sent 5: established a patrician republic, which lasted five centuries. Sent 6: In contrast to other Italian cities weakened by internal rivalries and unstable government, Rome drew strength from a solid aristocracy of consuls and senate ruling over plebeians proud of their Roman citizenship and only rarely rebellious. Sent 7: Recovering quickly from the Gallic invasion of 390 b.c. Sent 8: , the Romans took effective control of the peninsula by a military conquest reinforced by a network of roads with names that exist to this day: Via Appia, Flaminia, Aurelia. Sent 9: All roads did indeed lead to — and from — Rome. Sent 10: By 250 b.c. Sent 11: , the city's population had grown to an impressive 100,000. Sent 12: Roman power extended throughout the Mediterranean with a victory in the Punic Wars against Carthage (now Tunisia) and conquests in Macedonia, Asia Minor, Spain, and southern France. Sent 13: The rest of Italy participated only by tax contributions to the war effort and minor involvement in commerce and colonization. Sent 14: Resentment surfaced when former Etruscan or Greek cities such as Capua, Syracuse, and Taranto supported Hannibal's invasion in 218 b.c. Sent 15: Rome followed up defeat of the Carthaginians with large-scale massacres and enslavement of their Italian supporters. Sent 16: The Third and final Punic War ended in 149 b.c. Sent 17: , though national solidarity was still a long way off. Sent 18: Under Julius Caesar, elected in 59 b.c. Question: When had Rome's population grown to 100,000?. A:
250 B.C. ****

instruction: 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: Tuesday, September 11, 2001, dawned temperate and nearly cloudless in the eastern United States. Sent 2: Millions of men and women readied themselves for work. Sent 3: Some made their way to the Twin Towers, the signature structures of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Sent 4: Others went to Arlington, Virginia, to the Pentagon. Sent 5: Across the Potomac River, the United States Congress was back in session. Sent 6: At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, people began to line up for a White House tour. Sent 7: In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush went for an early morning run. Sent 8: For those heading to an airport, weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey. Sent 9: Among the travelers were Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, who arrived at the airport in Portland, Maine. Sent 10: Boston: American 11 and United 175. Sent 11: Atta and Omari boarded a 6:00 A.M. flight from Portland to Boston's Logan International Airport. Sent 12: When he checked in for his flight to Boston, Atta was selected by a computerized prescreening system known as CAPPS (Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System), created to identify passengers who should be subject to special security measures. Sent 13: Under security rules in place at the time, the only consequence of Atta's selection by CAPPS was that his checked bags were held off the plane until it was confirmed that he had boarded the aircraft. Sent 14: This did not hinder Atta's plans. Sent 15: Atta and Omari arrived in Boston at 6:45. Sent 16: Seven minutes later, Atta apparently took a call from Marwan al Shehhi, a longtime colleague who was at another terminal at Logan Airport. Sent 17: They spoke for three minutes. Sent 18: It would be their final conversation. Question: Where were the key people in the nation's power structure on the morning of 9/11?. answer: Arlington, Virginia, to the Pentagon. Across the Potomac River, the United States Congress was back in session. In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Agencies Confer When they learned a second plane had struck the World Trade Center, nearly everyone in the White House told us, they immediately knew it was not an accident. Sent 2: The Secret Service initiated a number of security enhancements around the White House complex. Sent 3: The officials who issued these orders did not know that there were additional hijacked aircraft, or that one such aircraft was en route to Washington. Sent 4: These measures were precautionary steps taken because of the strikes in New York. Sent 5: The FAA and White House Teleconferences. Sent 6: The FAA, the White House, and the Defense Department each initiated a multiagency teleconference before 9:30. Sent 7: Because none of these teleconferences-at least before 10:00- included the right officials from both the FAA and Defense Department, none succeeded in meaningfully coordinating the military and FAA response to the hijackings. 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 10: The FAA manager of the teleconference also remembered that the military participated only briefly before the Pentagon was hit. Sent 11: Both individuals agreed that the teleconference played no role in coordinating a response to the attacks of 9/11. Sent 12: Acting Deputy Administrator Belger was frustrated to learn later in the morning that the military had not been on the call. Sent 13: At the White House, the video teleconference was conducted from the Situation Room by Richard Clarke, a special assistant to the president long involved in counterterrorism. Sent 14: Logs indicate that it began at 9:25 and included the CIA; the FBI; the departments of State, Justice, and Defense; the FAA; and the White House shelter. Sent 15: The FAA and CIA joined at 9:40. 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. Sent 17: Immediately thereafter it was reported that a plane had hit the Pentagon. Sent 18: We found no evidence that video teleconference participants had any prior information that American 77 had been hijacked and was heading directly toward Washington. Question: When did the Secret Service initiate security enhancements around the White House?. answer: After the second plane hit the world trade towers. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Right after the Pentagon was hit, NEADS learned of another possible hijacked aircraft. Sent 2: It was an aircraft that in fact had not been hijacked at all. Sent 3: After the second World Trade Center crash, Boston Center managers recognized that both aircraft were transcontinental 767 jetliners that had departed Logan Airport. Sent 4: Remembering the "we have some planes" remark, Boston Center guessed that Delta 1989 might also be hijacked. Sent 5: Boston Center called NEADS at 9:41 and identified Delta 1989, a 767 jet that had left Logan Airport for Las Vegas, as a possible hijack. Sent 6: NEADS warned the FAA's Cleveland Center to watch Delta 1989. Sent 7: The Command Center and FAA headquarters watched it too. Sent 8: During the course of the morning, there were multiple erroneous reports of hijacked aircraft. Sent 9: The report of American 11 heading south was the first; Delta 1989 was the second. Sent 10: NEADS never lost track of Delta 1989, and even ordered fighter aircraft from Ohio and Michigan to intercept it. Sent 11: The flight never turned off its transponder. Sent 12: NEADS soon learned that the aircraft was not hijacked, and tracked Delta 1989 as it reversed course over Toledo, headed east, and landed in Cleveland. Sent 13: But another aircraft was heading toward Washington, an aircraft about which NORAD had heard nothing: United 93. Sent 14: United Airlines Flight 93 FAA Awareness. Sent 15: At 9:27, after having been in the air for 45 minutes, United 93 acknowledged a transmission from the Cleveland Center controller. Sent 16: This was the last normal contact the FAA had with the flight. Sent 17: Less than a minute later, the Cleveland controller and the pilots of aircraft in the vicinity heard "a radio transmission of unintelligible sounds of possible screaming or a struggle from an unknown origin."Sent 18: The controller responded, seconds later: "Somebody call Cleveland?"This was followed by a second radio transmission, with sounds of screaming. Question: Which buildings that were hit by aircraft?. answer:
World Trade Center.

Sent 2: He contemplated a story, an outline he had laboriously constructed some time ago. Sent 3: He had filled his pen and raised it, the nib descending towards the paper, before the sound came: the gentle, persistent tapping of the gnarled, primeval willow touching the window with long, insistent fingers. Sent 4: His eyes awoke with a passionate, determined flame, though the only light came from the glutted moon. Sent 5: Allan filled page after page, the words escaping from his mind onto the paper. Sent 6: Where before they had marched in regiments, practiced in ranks and followed their leaders' commands, the words now escaped in their true forms, unhindered by any stricture. Sent 7: He continued long into the night, until the eldritch orb had sunk into the waiting hands of the willow, raised perpetually skyward. Sent 8: Arthur looked up from the results of a night's frenzied labors and looked Allan in the eye. Sent 9: "What is this?"Sent 10: he queried, indicating the pages he held in his left hand. Sent 11: "I decided that… since I wasn't having much success with more – traditional – stories, I might see what sort of work I produced if I let my imagination go freely," Allan replied, somewhat less self-assured than he had been the previous night. Sent 12: "What in G-d's name could have possessed you to do such a thing," cried Arthur, nearly raising his voice. Sent 13: "After all I said the day before, why have you abandoned centuries of literary progress for some self-indulgent fantasy?"Sent 14: He shook the papers at Allan, raising them like a belt above the head of a disobedient son. Sent 15: "This is nothing but a glorified Grimm's tale, a miscarried child of Stoker, a creation less fit to be published than to be told around an open fire at the hovel of some peasant!"Sent 16: He spoke the last word with such heavy intonation that Allan shrank back before the physical wave of sound emanating from Arthur's throat. Sent 17: "Do you hate the modern system of literature? Sent 18: Do you personally despise the works the Enlightenment or the progress made since Shakespeare?"Sent 19: For a moment, Allan could hardly do more than shake his head. Sent 20: "No, of course not… I– " "Then why," Arthur barreled on, "do you disregard them all and return to this superstitious babble, this morbid, paganistic drivel?. Question: What was Allan writing on at his desk?. A:
Pages.

Sent 2: He is the only President to have been born in Hawaii. Sent 3: He was born to a white mother and a black father. Sent 4: His mother, Ann Dunham (1942-1995), was born in Wichita, Kansas, of mostly English descent, with some German, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, and Welsh ancestry. Question: How old was Obama's mother when he was born? Answer: 19. Explanation: Obama was born in 1961. His mother was born in 1942 and 1961-1942=19. Therefore, any of the following responses are considred correct: '19' and 'almost twenty'. Part 3. Exercise Paragraph- Sent 1: Breathing is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs. Sent 2: The process depends on a muscle called the diaphragm. Sent 3: This is a large, sheet-like muscle below the lungs. Sent 4: Inhaling, or breathing in, occurs when the diaphragm muscle tightens. Sent 5: This increases the size of the chest. Sent 6: This too decreases air pressure inside the lungs. Sent 7: This action allows air and gases to enter the lungs. Sent 8: Exhaling, or breathing out, occurs when the diaphragm muscle relaxes. Sent 9: This decreases the size of the chest. Sent 10: This increases air pressure inside the lungs. Sent 11: This action allows for air to leave the lungs. Sent 12: When you inhale, air enters the respiratory system through your nose and ends up in your lungs, where gas exchange with the blood takes place. Sent 13: What happens to the air along the way? Sent 14: In the nose, mucus and hairs trap any dust or other particles in the air. Sent 15: The air is also warmed and moistened. Sent 16: Next, air passes through a passageway that is connected to the windpipe. Sent 17: The air then finds its way to the lungs. Sent 18: In the chest, the windpipe splits so that air enters both the right and left lung. Question: What happens to the size of the chest when the diaphragm muscle relaxes?. Answer:
It decreases.

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: Over the centuries, the living here has always been easy enough to attract a steady stream of immigrants. Sent 2: Bountiful food sources might have made Malaysia an inviting place for the contemporaries of Java Man — in 230,000 b.c. Sent 3: But thus far, the country's earliest traces of homo sapiens, found in the Niah Caves of northern Sarawak, are fragments of a skull dating to 40,000 b.c. Sent 4: On the peninsula, the oldest human-related relics (10,000 b.c. Sent 5: ) are Stone Age tools of the Negritos. Sent 6: These small, dark Melanesians are related in type to Australian aborigines and are confined today to the forests of the northern highlands. Sent 7: By 2,000 b.c. Sent 8: , these timid, gentle nomads hunting with bow and arrow were driven back from the coasts by waves of sturdy immigrants arriving in outrigger canoes equipped with sails. Sent 9: Mongolians from South China and Polynesian and Malay peoples from the Philippines and the Indonesian islands settled along the rivers of the peninsula and northern Borneo. Sent 10: They practiced a slash-and-burn agriculture of yams and millet, a technique that exhausted the soil and imposed a semi-nomadic existence from one jungle clearing to another. Sent 11: Families lived in wooden longhouses like those still to be seen today among the Iban peoples of Sarawak. Sent 12: Another unit was added on to the communal dwelling each time a marriage created a new family. Sent 13: Other tough migrants from the South Seas settled along the coasts — sailors, fishermen, traders (for the most part pirates) — known euphemistically as orang laut (sea people). Question: Who used to practice a slash-and-burn agriculture of yams and millet?. SOLUTION: Malay peoples from the Philippines. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Hundreds of thousands of years before China was to become the world's longest-running civilization, the prologue was enacted by means of the flicker of a carefully tended fire. Sent 2: Peking Man, a forebear of Homo sapiens, achieved a mastery of fire. Sent 3: We might call it the first Chinese invention. Sent 4: Not that he devised flint and steel, matches, or any other way of creating fire. Sent 5: Peking Man simply learned how to capture flame, perhaps from a forest fire, and keep it alight. Sent 6: He thus enjoyed two revolutionary luxuries: light and heat. Sent 7: Technologically and sociologically, it was a phenomenal breakthrough: with fire, communities could live year 'round in one cave, in which cooking and even smelting could be pursued. Sent 8: And so, by 600,000 b.c., about 50 km (31 miles) southwest of present-day Beijing, the ancestors of mankind were ready to settle down. Sent 9: Several hundred thousand years later, when Marco Polo reached the capital of China, he was astonished by a further development in fire technology. Sent 10: The Chinese, he announced, used black stones dug out of mountains as fuel. Sent 11: Europeans did not yet have a word for "coal," nor had they discovered a use for it. Sent 12: The First Dynasty The confluence of mythology and history in China took place around 4,000 years ago during what is referred to as the Xia (Hsia) Dynasty. Sent 13: This was still the Stone Age, but the people are thought to have made silk from thread produced by the worms they cultivated on the leaves of their mulberry trees. Sent 14: And written language (which evolved as early as 4,500 to 5,000 years ago) was already in use, originally by oracles and then by official scribes — China's first scholars. Sent 15: During the second of the quasi-legendary dynasties, the Shang (from about the 16th to 11th centuries b.c.), the Chinese developed an interest in art. Sent 16: Careful geometric designs as well as dragon and bird motifs adorned bowls and implements. Sent 17: And with the arrival of the Bronze Age, the Chinese created bronze vessels of such beauty and originality that, until modern times, archaeologists refused to believe they were cast 3,000 years ago. Sent 18: The Shang Dynasty gave rise to the concept of one Chinese nation under one government. Question: When the Xia Dynasty came about was written language already in place?. SOLUTION: Yes. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: In the meantime the Indians had retreated to the lava beds and bade defiance to the soldiers. Sent 2: General Wheaton, commanding the district of the Lakes, ordered the concentration of troops from Camps Warner and Bidwell, while General Canby sent the forces under Colonel John Green and Major Mason from Ft. Vancouver to join the command under General Wheaton. Sent 3: As soon as the settlers could fort up for mutual protection, the entire forces of regulars and volunteers were concentrated at Van Bremer's ranch west of the lava beds under General Wheaton and at Land's ranch on the east side of Tule Lake and directly north of the stronghold. Sent 4: Such was the disposition of the forces when I arrived at headquarters at Van Bremer's ranch. Sent 5: By orders of Governor Grover of Oregon the volunteers under Captains O. C. Applegate and Kelley were placed under the command of General Wheaton. Sent 6: The two companies numbered about 225 men, and were commanded by General John E. Ross, a veteran Indian fighter, but too old to withstand the hardships of a winter campaign against Indians. Sent 7: The men were all poorly provided with clothing and bedding, most all having taken only what they could strap behind their saddles, but in spite of this and a temperature often below zero, no murmur was heard, and all anxiously, eagerly looked forward to a meeting with the brutal savage murderers of their fellow citizens. Sent 8: Such were the conditions when I arrived at headquarters. Question: When the narrator arrived at the headquarters, approximately how many men were present?. SOLUTION:
225 men.

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. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Mary, Queen of Scots: The baby was Mary Stuart, who at the age of nine months was crowned Queen of Scots at the Chapel Royal, Stirling. Sent 2: When the news reached London, Henry VIII saw his chance to subdue Scotland again and negotiated a marriage between the infant Mary and his son Edward. Sent 3: The Scots refused, and Henry sent an army rampaging through Scotland on a campaign known as the "Rough Wooing. Sent 4: " The English king ordered his general to "burn Edinburgh town so there may remain forever a perpetual memory of the vengeance of God lightened upon the Scots. Sent 5: " But more was at stake than simply Scotland's independence: there was now a religious schism within Britain. Sent 6: In order to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII had broken with Rome and brought the English church under his own control. Sent 7: England was thus now a Protestant country, caught between Catholic France and the Scots with their new Catholic queen. Sent 8: The Scots themselves were divided, many embracing Protestantism in the spirit of the Reformation while others remained staunchly Catholic. Sent 9: However, fear of the rampaging English army led the Scots again to seek help from their old Ailies in France, and the young queen married the Dauphin François, son of the French king. Sent 10: François II became king of France in 1559 but died soon after. Sent 11: In 1561 the 18-year-old Mary returned to a Scotland in the grip of the Reformation, as Protestant leaders had taken control of the Scottish parliament and abolished the authority of the pope. Sent 12: Her Protestant cousin, Elizabeth Tudor, was on the English throne, but Elizabeth — the "Virgin Queen" — had no heir. Sent 13: Mary was next in line for the English crown, and Elizabeth was suspicious of her intentions. Sent 14: The six years of Mary's reign were turbulent ones. Sent 15: She clashed early on with Edinburgh's famous Protestant reformer, John Knox, who held sway in St. Giles but later adopted an uneasy policy of religious tolerance. Sent 16: In 1565 she married her young cousin Henry, Lord Darnley, much to the chagrin of Elizabeth (Darnley was a grandson of Margaret Tudor and thus also had a claim to the English throne). Sent 17: On 19 June 1566, in the royal apartments in Edinburgh Castle, Mary gave birth to a son, Prince James. Sent 18: Within a year, however, Darnley was murdered, and Mary immediately immersed herself in controversy by marrying the Earl of Bothwell, the chief suspect. Question: What did the Scots refuse to do that sent Henry rampaging through Scotland?. Ex Output: The Scots did not agree to have Henry's son marry Mary. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Durer exerted a huge influence on the artists of succeeding generations, especially in printmaking, the medium through which his contemporaries mostly experienced his art, as his paintings were predominately in private collections located in only a few cities. Sent 2: His success in spreading his reputation across Europe through prints was undoubtedly an inspiration for major artists such as Raphael, Titian, and Parmigianino, all of whom collaborated with printmakers in order to promote and distribute their work. Sent 3: His work in engraving seems to have had an intimidating effect upon his German successors, the "Little Masters" who attempted few large engravings but continued Durer's themes in small, rather cramped compositions. Sent 4: Lucas van Leyden was the only Northern European engraver to successfully continue to produce large engravings in the first third of the 16th century. Sent 5: The generation of Italian engravers who trained in the shadow of Durer all either directly copied parts of his landscape backgrounds (Giulio Campagnola and Christofano Robetta), or whole prints (Marcantonio Raimondi and Agostino Veneziano). Sent 6: However, Durer's influence became less dominant after 1515, when Marcantonio perfected his new engraving style, which in turn travelled over the Alps to dominate Northern engraving also. Sent 7: In painting, Durer had relatively little influence in Italy, where probably only his altarpiece in Venice was seen, and his German successors were less effective in blending German and Italian styles. Sent 8: His intense and self-dramatizing self-portraits have continued to have a strong influence up to the present, especially on painters in the 19th and 20th century who desired a more dramatic portrait style. Sent 9: Durer has never fallen from critical favour, and there have been significant revivals of interest in his works in Germany in the Durer Renaissance of about 1570 to 1630, in the early nineteenth century, and in German nationalism from 1870 to 1945. Sent 10: Durer's study of human proportions and the use of transformations to a coordinate grid to demonstrate facial variation inspired similar work by D'Arcy Thompson in his book On Growth and Form. Sent 11: The Lutheran Church remembers Durer as a great Christian annually on April 6, along with Lucas Cranach the Elder and Hans Burgkmair. Sent 12: The liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) remembers him, Cranach and Matthias Grunewald on August 5. Question: Who was not intimidated by Durer in producing large engravings?. Ex Output: Leyden. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Renewable Energy Resource Sunlight Sunlight can be used to heat homes. Sent 2: It can also be used to produce electricity. Sent 3: This conversion is made possible by solar cells. Sent 4: However, solar energy may not always be practical. Sent 5: Some areas are just too cloudy. Sent 6: Example Solar panels on the roof of this house generate enough electricity to supply a familys needs. Sent 7: Moving Water Falling water can have a lot of energy. Sent 8: Its energy can be converted into kinetic energy. Sent 9: This energy can turn a turbine and generate electricity. Sent 10: The water may fall naturally over a waterfall or flow through a dam. Sent 11: A drawback of dams is that they flood land upstream. Sent 12: They can also reduce water flow downstream. Sent 13: Either effect may harm ecosystems. Sent 14: Wind Wind is moving air. Sent 15: It has kinetic energy that can do work. Sent 16: Wind turbines change the kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy. Sent 17: Only certain areas of the world get enough steady wind. Sent 18: Many people also think that wind turbines are noisy and not very nice to look at. Question: What are two different kind of energy discussed in the articles?. Ex Output:
kinetic energy.

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. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The city of Edinburgh grew up around the steep, ragged cliff of the Castle Rock and its easily defended summit. Sent 2: Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of habitation here as long ago as 900 b.c. Sent 3: Very little, however, is known about the Rock and its inhabitants in the centuries between its first occupation and the time of the MacAlpin kings. Sent 4: A few shadowy details have been left to us by the Romans and by an epic poem from the seventh century. Sent 5: Romans and Britons The Romans invaded Scotland in a.d. Sent 6: 78–84, where they met a fierce group called the Picts, whom they drove north. Sent 7: They consolidated their gains by building Antonine's Wall across the waist of Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the River Clyde in about a.d. Sent 8: Roman legions encountered the strongholds of the Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat, held by a tribe of ancient Britons known as the Votadini. Sent 9: Little is recorded about this group, but they were probably the ancestors of the Gododdin, whose feats are told in a seventh-century Old Welsh manuscript. Sent 10: The capital of the Gododdin was Din Eidyn (the "Fort of Eidyn," almost certainly the Castle Rock), whose name lives on in the Edin- of Edinburgh. Sent 11: Din Eidyn fell to the Angles in 638 and became part of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. Sent 12: It was the first of many times that the Fort of Eidyn would change hands between the kingdoms of the north and the south. Sent 13: The MacAlpin Kings Four distinct peoples once inhabited the land now known as Scotland: the Picts in the north, the Britons in the southwest, the invading Angles in the southeast, and the Scots in the west. Sent 14: The Scots were Gaelic-speaking immigrants from the north of Ireland. Sent 15: Kenneth MacAlpin, who ruled as king of Scots at Dunadd, acquired the Pictish throne in 843, uniting Scotland north of the River Forth into a single kingdom. Sent 16: He moved his capital — along with the Stone of Destiny (on which Scottish kings were crowned) — to the sacred Pict site of Scone, close to Perth. Sent 17: His great-great-great-grandson, Malcolm II (1005–1034), defeated the Angles at the Battle of Carham in 1018 and extended Scottish territory as far south as the River Tweed. Question: Who ruled the Gaelic-speaking immigrants from northern Ireland?. Example Output: Kenneth MacAlpin. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: At 9:48, a representative from the White House shelter asked if there were any indications of another hijacked aircraft. Sent 2: The deputy director for operations mentioned the Delta flight and concluded that "that would be the fourth possible hijack."Sent 3: At 9:49, the commander of NORAD directed all air sovereignty aircraft to battle stations, fully armed. Sent 4: At 9:59, an Air Force lieutenant colonel working in the White House Military Office joined the conference and stated he had just talked to Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley. 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 8: America is under attack."Sent 9: The President told us his instinct was to project calm, not to have the country see an excited reaction at a moment of crisis. Sent 10: The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. Sent 11: The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening. Sent 12: The President remained in the classroom for another five to seven minutes, while the children continued reading. Sent 13: He then returned to a holding room shortly before 9:15, where he was briefed by staff and saw television coverage. Sent 14: He next spoke to Vice President Cheney, Dr. Rice, New York Governor George Pataki, and FBI Director Robert Mueller. Sent 15: He decided to make a brief statement from the school before leaving for the airport. Sent 16: The Secret Service told us they were anxious to move the President to a safer location, but did not think it imperative for him to run out the door. Sent 17: Between 9:15 and 9:30, the staff was busy arranging a return to Washington, while the President consulted his senior advisers about his remarks. Sent 18: No one in the traveling party had any information during this time that other aircraft were hijacked or missing. Sent 19: Staff was in contact with the White House Situation Room, but as far as we could determine, no one with the President was in contact with the Pentagon. Question: What commander is able to direct all airs sovereignty aircrafts. Example Output: NORAD commander. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Mechanical energy is a combination of the energy of motion or position. Sent 2: This type of energy describes objects that are moving or could move. Sent 3: A moving ball can have energy from motion. Sent 4: An arrow can also have the energy of motion. Sent 5: Both are types of mechanical energy. Sent 6: Can you think of some other examples? Sent 7: Where does the energy of motion come from? Sent 8: It comes from the energy created by position. Sent 9: This energy is stored energy. Sent 10: This means it is not moving yet, but it has the potential to move. Sent 11: How can you store energy? Sent 12: The arrow gains energy from the drawn bow. Sent 13: As the arrow is released, the bow releases its stored energy and puts the arrow into motion. Sent 14: Can you think of some other ways to store energy using position?. Question: Why is mechanical energy considered a combination of the energy of motion and position?. Example Output:
Because objects either move or could move.

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: Who owns The Rock?. A:
Geoffrey Brent.

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Vice President stated that he called the President to discuss the rules of engagement for the CAP. Sent 2: He recalled feeling that it did no good to establish the CAP unless the pilots had instructions on whether they were authorized to shoot if the plane would not divert. Sent 3: He said the President signed off on that concept. Sent 4: The President said he remembered such a conversation, and that it reminded him of when he had been an interceptor pilot. Sent 5: The President emphasized to us that he had authorized the shootdown of hijacked aircraft. Sent 6: The Vice President's military aide told us he believed the Vice President spoke to the President just after entering the conference room, but he did not hear what they said.

Sent 8: Sir, they're going to want to know what to do."Sent 9: Then she recalled hearing him say, "Yes sir."Sent 10: She believed this conversation occurred a few minutes, perhaps five, after they entered the conference room. Sent 11: We believe this call would have taken place sometime before 10:10 to 10:15. Sent 12: Among the sources that reflect other important events of that morning, there is no documentary evidence for this call, but the relevant sources are incomplete. Sent 13: Others nearby who were taking notes, such as the Vice President's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, who sat next to him, and Mrs. Cheney, did not note a call between the President and Vice President immediately after the Vice President entered the conference room. Sent 14: At 10:02, the communicators in the shelter began receiving reports from the Secret Service of an inbound aircraft-presumably hijacked-heading toward Washington. Sent 15: That aircraft was United 93. Sent 16: The Secret Service was getting this information directly from the FAA. Sent 17: The FAA may have been tracking the progress of United 93 on a display that showed its projected path to Washington, not its actual radar return. Sent 18: Thus, the Secret Service was relying on projections and was not aware the plane was already down in Pennsylvania. Question: Who signed off giving pilots instructions on whether to shoot down planes if they do not divert?. [EX A]: The President. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: In the popular mind, the history of Hong Kong, long the entryway to China for Westerners, begins in 1841 with the British occupation of the territory.

Sent 4: You can get a glimpse into that past at Lei Cheng Uk Museum's 1,600-year-old burial vault on the mainland just north of Kowloon. Sent 5: In 1992, when construction of the airport on Chek Lap Kok was begun, a 2,000-year-old village, Pak Mong, was discovered, complete with artifacts that indicated a sophisticated rural society.

Sent 7: While Hong Kong remained a relative backwater in early days, nearby Guangzhou (Canton) was developing into a great trading city with connections in India and the Middle East. Sent 8: By a.d. Sent 9: 900, the Hong Kong islands had become a lair for pirates preying on the shipping in the Pearl River Delta and causing a major headache for burgeoning Guangzhou; small bands of pirates were still operating into the early years of the 20th century. Sent 10: In the meantime, the mainland area was being settled by incomers, the "Five Great Clans": Tang, Hau, Pang, Liu, and Man.

Sent 15: As Macau developed into the greatest port in the East, it also became a base for Jesuit missionaries; it was later a haven for persecuted Japanese Christians. Sent 16: While Christianity was not a great success in China, it made local headway, evidenced today by the numerous Catholic churches in Macau's historic center. Sent 17: Intermarriage with the local Chinese created a community of Macanese, whose culture can still be seen in Macau's architecture and cuisine. Question: Who were the first Europeans to control the greatest port in the East?. [EX A]: The Portuguese.

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. See one example below: Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapiʻolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sent 2: He is the only President to have been born in Hawaii. Sent 3: He was born to a white mother and a black father. Sent 4: His mother, Ann Dunham (1942-1995), was born in Wichita, Kansas, of mostly English descent, with some German, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, and Welsh ancestry. Question: How old was Obama's mother when he was born? Solution: 19. Explanation: Obama was born in 1961. His mother was born in 1942 and 1961-1942=19. Therefore, any of the following responses are considred correct: '19' and 'almost twenty'. Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine. Sent 2: If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine. Sent 3: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea. Sent 4: Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine. Sent 5: No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order. Sent 6: In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty. Sent 7: In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved. Sent 8: Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal. Sent 9: "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said. Sent 10: "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders? Sent 11: That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?"Sent 12: Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Sent 13: Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order. Sent 14: Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases. Sent 15: She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed. Sent 16: West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state. Sent 17: "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said. Sent 18: "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred. Question: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, what was the max amount that they would have to pay?. Solution:
Court costs, plus a $100 fine.

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: Soon after the conclusion of peace, important changes were made in legislation concerning industry and commerce, and the new freedom thus afforded produced a large number of limited liability companies. Sent 2: Plans were formed for building a great network of railways, partly for the purpose of developing the natural resources of the country, and partly for the purpose of increasing its power for defense and attack. Sent 3: The existence of serfdom was tackled boldly, taking advantage of a petition presented by the Polish landed proprietors of the Lithuanian provinces and, hoping that their relations with the serfs might be regulated in a more satisfactory way (meaning in a way more satisfactory for the proprietors), he authorized the formation of committees "for ameliorating the condition of the peasants," and laid down the principles on which the amelioration was to be effected. Sent 4: This step had been followed by one even more significant. Sent 5: Without consulting his ordinary advisers, Alexander ordered the Minister of the Interior to send a circular to the provincial governors of European Russia (serfdom was rare in other parts), containing a copy of the instructions forwarded to the Governor-General of Lithuania, praising the supposed generous, patriotic intentions of the Lithuanian landed proprietors, and suggesting that perhaps the landed proprietors of other provinces might express a similar desire. Sent 6: The hint was taken: in all provinces where serfdom existed, emancipation committees were formed. Sent 7: The emancipation was not merely a humanitarian question capable of being solved instantaneously by imperial ukase. Sent 8: It contained very complicated problems, deeply affecting the economic, social and political future of the nation. Sent 9: Alexander had to choose between the different measures recommended to him and decide if the serfs would become agricultural laborers dependent economically and administratively on the landlords or if the serfs would be transformed into a class of independent communal proprietors. Sent 10: The emperor gave his support to the latter project, and the Russian peasantry became one of the last groups of peasants in Europe to shake off serfdom. Sent 11: The architects of the emancipation manifesto were Alexander's brother Konstantin, Yakov Rostovtsev, and Nikolay Milyutin. Sent 12: On 3 March 1861, 6 years after his accession, the emancipation law was signed and published. Question: When was the existence of serfdom tackled?. Answer: Soon after the conclusion of peace. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: The driver of the Facel Vega car, Michel Gallimard, who was Camus's publisher and close friend, also died in the accident. Sent 2: In August 2011, the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera reported a theory that the writer had been the victim of a Soviet plot, but Camus's biographer, Olivier Todd, did not consider it credible. Sent 3: Camus was buried in the Lourmarin Cemetery, Lourmarin, Vaucluse, France. Sent 4: He was the second-youngest recipient, at the age of 44, of the Nobel Prize in Literature, after Rudyard Kipling, at the age of 42. Sent 5: He was survived by his wife and twin son and daughter, Jean and Catherine, who hold the copyrights to his work. Sent 6: Two of Camus's works were published posthumously. Sent 7: The first, entitled A Happy Death (1970), featured a character named Patrice Mersault, comparable to The Stranger's Meursault. Sent 8: There is scholarly debate as to the relationship between the two books. Sent 9: The second was an unfinished novel, The First Man (1995), which Camus was writing before he died. Sent 10: The novel was an autobiographical work about his childhood in Algeria. Question: Which two works were published after Camus's death?. Answer: "A Happy Death" (1970) and "The First Man" (1995) were published after his death. Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Critics say that is not nearly enough compared with other prescribers, such as M.D. psychiatrists or nurse practitioners who have at least six years' medical education and clinical experience. Sent 2: Neither Davison nor most other RxP opponents doubt the efficacy of medications. Sent 3: Their greatest objection is to the notion of turning psychology into a prescribing profession. Sent 4: In a field that has struggled long and hard to prove that mind, mood and behavior can be studied empirically, the past decade, Davison says, has seen "exciting developments" that demonstrate the validity of various psychotherapeutic interventions and the psychosocial-behavioral models on which they are based. Sent 5: "The timing is peculiar to abandon psychological science or to convert it to a medical science," explains Elaine M. Heiby of the University of Hawaii, who chairs a committee of the 1,000-member American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology that is concerned about the medicalization of psychology. Sent 6: "Making sure that practicing psychologists are giving patients interventions based on the best available psychological science should be the APA's priority," argues Emory University's Scott Lilienfeld, president of the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology (SSCP). Sent 7: More than any philosophical betrayal of psychology, RxP opponents fear that the movement will undermine the science they love. Sent 8: They believe that if prescriptive authority becomes the norm, biomedical requirements will inevitably seep into the psychology curriculum, at the expense of traditional psychological science and methodology. Sent 9: Lilienfeld feels that many clinical psychologists already receive inadequate training in fundamentals such as research design and evaluation. Sent 10: RxP opponents charge the APA with pushing its prescription-privileges agenda without adequately assessing support for it in the field. Sent 11: The 300-member SSCP is the only group within the APA to have taken a formal stance against prescription privileges. Sent 12: The APA has scheduled 30 minutes at its meeting in August for an RxP debate, but its leadership believes it already has an accurate sense of support for its RxP policy. Sent 13: "Except for this small vocal minority, we have just not gotten a lot of groundswell against this from members," says APA president Philip G. Zimbardo of Stanford University. Sent 14: With prescription privileges now a reality in one state, some RxP opponents concede that it may be too late. Sent 15: This year four states besides New Mexico -- Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois and Tennessee -- have pending legislation for psychologist prescription privileges.

instruction: 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: Hamilton argued that the natural faculties of blacks were as good as those of free whites, and he warned that the British would arm the slaves if the patriots did not. Sent 2: In his 21st-century biography, Chernow cites this incident as evidence that Hamilton and Laurens saw the Revolution and the struggle against slavery as inseparable. Sent 3: Hamilton attacked his political opponents as demanding freedom for themselves and refusing to allow it to blacks. Sent 4: In January 1785, Hamilton attended the second meeting of the New York Manumission Society (NYMS). Sent 5: John Jay was president and Hamilton was the first secretary and later became president. Sent 6: Chernow notes how the membership soon included many of Hamilton's friends and associates. Sent 7: Hamilton was a member of the committee of the society that petitioned the legislature to end the slave trade, and that succeeded in passing legislation banning the export of slaves from New York. Sent 8: In the same period, Hamilton felt bound by the rule of law of the time and his law practice facilitated the return of a fugitive slave to Henry Laurens of South Carolina. Sent 9: He opposed the compromise at the 1787 Constitutional Convention by which the federal government could not abolish the slave trade for 20 years, and was disappointed when he lost that argument. Sent 10: Hamilton never supported forced emigration for freed slaves. Sent 11: Horton has argued from this that he would be comfortable with a multiracial society, and that this distinguished him from his contemporaries. Sent 12: In international affairs, he supported Toussaint L'Ouverture's black government in Haiti after the revolt that overthrew French control, as he had supported aid to the slaveowners in 1791--both measures hurt France. Sent 13: Scant evidence has been interpreted by a few to indicate Hamilton may have owned household slaves, as did many wealthy New Yorkers (the evidence for this is indirect; McDonald interprets it as referring to paid employees). Question: Was John Jay the first secretary of the New York Manumission Society?. answer: No. question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Tocqueville thought the conquest of Algeria was important for two reasons: first, his understanding of the international situation and France's position in the world, and, second, changes in French society. Sent 2: Tocqueville believed that war and colonization would "restore national pride, threatened", he believed, by "The gradual softening of social mores" in the middle classes. Sent 3: Their taste for "material pleasures" was spreading to the whole of society, giving it "an example of weakness and egotism". Sent 4: Applauding the methods of General Bugeaud, Tocqueville went so far to claim that "war in Africa is a science. Sent 5: Everyone is familiar with its rules and everyone can apply those rules with almost complete certainty of success. Sent 6: One of the greatest services that Field Marshal Bugeaud has rendered his country is to have spread, perfected and made everyone aware of this new science."Sent 7: Tocqueville advocated racial segregation in Algeria with two distinct legislations, one for European colonists and one for the Arab population. Sent 8: Such a two-tier arrangement would be fully realised with the 1870 Cremieux decree and the Indigenousness Code, which extended French citizenship to European settlers and Algerian Jews, whereas Muslim Algerians would be governed by Muslim law and restricted to a second-class citizenship. Question: What did Tocqueville believe would restore national pride in France?. answer: The conquest and colonization of Algeria. question: 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: Whose scholarship dismisses Western achievements as entirely material?. answer:
Qutb.

Sent 5: The Carthaginians: A detailed history of the island doesn't begin until it became a colony of Carthage in the 7th century b.c. Sent 6: . Sent 7: The Carthaginians originally came from the area comprising present-day Lebanon, and from their bases in North Africa and what's now Spain, they challenged the Roman Empire for domination of the Mediterranean region.

Sent 11: It is believed that the lead pellets which were used by the Carthaginian general Hannibal were made on Ibiza. Sent 12: The Carthaginians also considered the island a holy place, and here in great splendour they buried thousands of their citizens in a huge necropolis on the Puig des Molins (Hill of the Windmills) below the Dalt Vila (Old Town) of Ibiza. Sent 13: Under the gnarled olive trees archaeologists have uncovered a treasure trove of statues, jewellery, pitchers, tools, and coins, which are now displayed in the town's two archaeological museums.

Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: At the age of eighteen there came a change in Poe's life. Sent 2: Until then he had been a petted child in a wealthy family. Sent 3: Mr. Allan did not have that affection for him which Mrs. Allan had. Sent 4: He did not understand the boy's peculiar and erratic nature, and was particularly displeased when he found that Edgar had run into debt at college. Sent 5: There was an angry scene between the two, and Edgar was told that he must leave the university and go into the counting-room. Sent 6: It appears that he made some attempt to tie himself down to figures and accounts and business routine; but as he had not been brought up to this kind of life, he soon tired of it, and decided to go into the world to seek his own fortune. Sent 7: He went to Boston, where he published a volume of poetry. Sent 8: In the preface to this volume, Poe says that the poems were written before he was fourteen. Sent 9: Though this may not be strictly true, there is little doubt that some of them were. Sent 10: While he was still at school he had collected enough of his poems to make a volume, and Mr. Allan had taken them up to the master of the English and Classical School to get his advice about publishing them. Sent 11: This gentleman advised against it on the ground that it would make Edgar conceited,--a fault from which he was already suffering. Sent 12: As soon as he was free to do as he pleased, therefore, it was natural that he should rewrite his poems and publish them. Question: Who was Mr. Allan?. Example Output: Poe's father. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that laboratory tests on popular smoking devices known as electronic cigarettes have found they contain carcinogens and other toxic chemicals dangerous to humans. Sent 2: E-cigarettes are battery-operated and contain cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals. Sent 3: Known as "e-cigarettes," the devices are battery-operated and contain cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals, spiced with flavors such as chocolate, cola or bubble gum. Sent 4: While manufacturers tout e-cigarettes as a "healthy way" to smoke, federal health officials say the devices turn nicotine, which is highly addictive, and other chemicals into a vapor that is inhaled by the user. Sent 5: "The FDA is concerned about the safety of these products and how they are marketed to the public," said Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA. Sent 6: CNN contacted Florida-based Smoking Everywhere, one of the largest manufacturers of e-cigarettes, after the FDA announcement, and a spokeswoman said the company had no comment. Sent 7: Because e-cigarettes have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, the agency had no way of knowing the levels of nicotine or the amounts or kinds of other chemicals that the various brands of these products deliver to the user. Sent 8: That is why the FDA began to test them. Sent 9: The FDA's Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis analyzed the ingredients in a small sample of cartridges from two leading brands of e-cigarettes. Sent 10: In releasing its information, the FDA did not identify the two companies, but said in one sample, diethylene glycol -- a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans -- was detected. Sent 11: Other samples detected carcinogens that are dangerous to those who smoke them, the FDA said. Sent 12: The FDA has been examining and seizing shipments of non-U.S.-made e-cigarettes at the U.S. border since summer 2008. Sent 13: To date, 50 shipments have been stopped.

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: Iwasaki's careful respect for the Long Beach program and its lawyers earned him the political capital he needed to complete his takeover in a matter of weeks. Sent 2: "The Long Beach program had strong support in the community so in a situation like that, one has to recognize that it's not like a takeover where I have all the answers and I know best," Iwasaki said. Sent 3: "The people in the community who are working there have the contacts and the knowledge that will allow service to continue."Sent 4: Things have gone less smoothly across town. Sent 5: There, Dudovitz, a longtime poverty lawyer and executive director of the San Fernando Valley's 36-year-old legal aid program, continues to struggle with his hostile takeover of the neighboring San Gabriel-Pomona Valleys service area one year after it was accomplished. Sent 6: On the bright side, Dudovitz has extended his respected program to clients in the San Gabriel-Pomona Valley, and he now operates on a much larger budget, $6.5 million last year. Sent 7: However, his clash with the old San Gabriel program resulted in litigation, bitter feelings and a mission that some say is not clearly focused on serving poor people. Sent 8: "It was a difficult situation that was probably mishandled by everyone," a longtime observer of the public interest community said of the San Fernando Valley-San Gabriel-Pomona Valley merger. Sent 9: "There are very few people who come out as the heroes. Sent 10: Personalities got involved when they shouldn't have. Sent 11: Things were said that caused bad feelings and couldn't be unsaid."Sent 12: Iwasaki's merger with the smaller, 48-year-old Long Beach program was friendly and fast, and no one - not even Long Beach board members - lost a job. Sent 13: When it was over, Iwasaki had $1 million more in federal dollars and two new offices. 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 15: Iwasaki said, "[I judged the transition] better than I could have hoped for.". Question: During federal budget cuts, the number of lawyers were reduced from 15 to how many?. Answer: 5.

Sent 2: According to Aelian, a seer called Aristander foretold that the land where Alexander was laid to rest "would be happy and unvanquishable forever". Sent 3: Perhaps more likely, the successors may have seen possession of the body as a symbol of legitimacy, since burying the prior king was a royal prerogative. Sent 4: While Alexander's funeral cortege was on its way to Macedon, Ptolemy seized it and took it temporarily to Memphis. Sent 5: His successor, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, transferred the sarcophagus to Alexandria, where it remained until at least late Antiquity. Sent 6: Ptolemy IX Lathyros, one of Ptolemy's final successors, replaced Alexander's sarcophagus with a glass one so he could convert the original to coinage. Sent 7: The recent discovery of an enormous tomb in northern Greece, at Amphipolis, dating from the time of Alexander the Great has given rise to speculation that its original intent was to be the burial place of Alexander. Sent 8: This would fit with the intended destination of Alexander's funeral cortege. Sent 9: Pompey, Julius Caesar and Augustus all visited the tomb in Alexandria, where Augustus, allegedly, accidentally knocked the nose off. Sent 10: Caligula was said to have taken Alexander's breastplate from the tomb for his own use. Sent 11: Around AD 200, Emperor Septimius Severus closed Alexander's tomb to the public. Sent 12: His son and successor, Caracalla, a great admirer, visited the tomb during his own reign. Sent 13: After this, details on the fate of the tomb are hazy. Sent 14: The so-called "Alexander Sarcophagus", discovered near Sidon and now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, is so named not because it was thought to have contained Alexander's remains, but because its bas-reliefs depict Alexander and his companions fighting the Persians and hunting. Sent 15: It was originally thought to have been the sarcophagus of Abdalonymus (died 311 BC), the king of Sidon appointed by Alexander immediately following the battle of Issus in 331. Sent 16: However, more recently, it has been suggested that it may date from earlier than Abdalonymus' death. Question: What known alterations were made to Alexander's tomb?. Answer:
Ptolemy IX replaced the original with a glass one so he could convert the old one to coinage. Augustus allegedly knocked the nose of the tomb and Caligula was said to have taken Alexander's breastplate from his tomb.

Do not write answers that address the question partially or incorrectly. The correct answer must be contained in the given paragraph. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: Paul put the despised watch away And laid out before him his array Of stones and metals, and when the morning Struck the stones to their best adorning, He chose the brightest, and this new watch Was so light and thin it seemed to catch The sunlight's nothingness, and its gleam. Sent 2: Topazes ran in a foamy stream Over the cover, the hands were studded With garnets, and seemed red roses, budded. Sent 3: The face was of crystal, and engraved Upon it the figures flashed and waved With zircons, and beryls, and amethysts. Sent 4: It took a week to make, and his trysts At night with the Shadow were his alone. Sent 5: Paul swore not to speak till his task was done. Sent 6: The night that the jewel was worthy to give. Sent 7: Paul watched the long hours of daylight live To the faintest streak; then lit his light, And sharp against the wall's pure white The outline of the Shadow started Into form. Sent 8: His burning-hearted Words so long imprisoned swelled To tumbling speech. Sent 9: Like one compelled, He told the lady all his love, And holding out the watch above His head, he knelt, imploring some Littlest sign. Sent 10: The Shadow was dumb. Question: What took Paul a week to make?. [EX A]: A new watch. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: The mighty fane, with its three massive towers, rises majestically over the red roofs of the town. Sent 2: Its most striking feature is the great Norman screen, running up without buttresses or projections to the parapet and hiding the bases of the square, richly decorated towers of the west front. Sent 3: The plain centre of the screen is the work of Remigius, the first bishop. Sent 4: The rest of it is relieved with rich arcading of Late Norman and Early English periods. Sent 5: The wooden spires which crowned the towers were removed in 1807. Sent 6: In 1192 Hugh of Avalon determined to rebuild the Norman building of Remigius, which an earthquake had shaken. Sent 7: To him we owe the choir and eastern transept. Sent 8: His successors completed the western transept and began the west end of the nave. Sent 9: So much money had to be spent in rebuilding the central tower, which fell in 1239, that the canons could not rebuild the nave entirely, but had to incorporate the Norman end by Remigius. Sent 10: Unfortunately the axis of the west front does not correspond to that of the nave, which is too wide for its height. Sent 11: The low vaulting is a serious defect in the choir built by St. Hugh, but of the superb beauty of the Angel Choir, which encloses his shrine, there can be no doubt. Sent 12: In its richness of sculpture it is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture in England. Sent 13: The interior of the cathedral is remarkable for the harmony of its style, which is Lancet-Gothic, and the dim lighting of the nave only adds to its impressiveness. Question: To whom do we owe the rebuilding of the Norman building of Remigius?. [EX A]: Hugh of Avalon. [EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: Expansion quickly peaked however, and the European powers who had carved up the New World set about testing each other in dynastic conflicts and colonial rivalry. Sent 2: The English were the main rivals of the Dutch on the high seas, and there were several wars between the two in the 17th and 18th centuries. Sent 3: In 1665–1667 the Dutch sailed up the River Medway and sank the British fleet moored there. Sent 4: The 18th century saw Amsterdam grow into the foremost financial center in the world, but the seeds of decline had already been planted. Sent 5: When the English colonies in New England rose up in revolt against the British, they found ready Ailies in the Dutch. Sent 6: From their colonies in the Caribbean they sent caches of arms and ammunition. Sent 7: The British were furious and went to war in 1780, destroying the Dutch navy and signaling a sudden decline in power and influence from which the Netherlands never recovered. Sent 8: Trade suffered to such an extent that in 1791 the VOC went into liquidation. Sent 9: In the latter part of the century there were anti-Orange demonstrations by pro-French factions in the country, and in 1795 Napoleon Bonaparte took the Netherlands in his epic march across Europe. Sent 10: Under the yoke of another foreign power, and with trade at an all time low, the Golden Age was truly dead. Sent 11: The Return of the House of Orange Napoleon installed his brother Louis as King of Holland and he chose to take the fine Town Hall on Dam Square as his palace — now the Koninklijk Palace. Sent 12: But only four years later he fled the city after civil disturbances broke out when he raised taxes. Sent 13: When Napoleon's bubble burst and French power began to wane, William of Orange emerged from exile and was proclaimed king in 1813. Sent 14: Amsterdam had to work its way out of economic decline, but throughout the 19th century the city grew steadily. Sent 15: Industrialization changed the city. Sent 16: With the building of the Central Station at the end of the century, Amsterdam turned its back on its seafaring past and looked towards the mechanical age for its future. Sent 17: The station was built over the old harbor wall and some of the oldest canals in the city center were filled in to allow better access to motorized vehicles. Sent 18: Dam Square was landlocked for the first time in its history. Question: How many times did the English and Dutch fight each other?. [EX A]:

Sent 4: The legal service is one of the few programs in Iowa that offers legal representation to those who qualify without turning to the state for its services. Sent 5: "It is a very sad situation, but that's the fact," said Alan Schroeder, city attorney and supervisor of Boone County Legal Aid. Sent 6: For the past two years using money mostly from the city and county, Schroeder has upheld the outfit alone, taking on about 60 clients a year, and settling cases that range from domestic abuse to bankruptcy. Sent 7: He also has a private practice. Sent 8: If the legal service closes, he's unsure where his clients will go. Sent 9: The city of Boone gave Schroeder $6,300 in July to resolve pending cases, said Kathy Berg, Boone's finance officer. Sent 10: Without that, the program might already be closed. Sent 11: "All governments are having problems with finances," Boone Mayor George Maybee said. Sent 12: "No one else stepped in. Sent 13: The county didn't. Sent 14: The state didn't."Sent 15: Donovan Olson, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the board quit funding the legal service in July because it felt the county didn't need it. Sent 16: Drake University ended its funding after the 2000 spring semester "for a variety of reasons," Suzanne Levitt, the law professor who oversaw the program, said via e-mail. Sent 17: Olson said Schroeder must prove Prairie Meadows is the primary money source for the board to grant the program any more money. Sent 18: Schroeder ran the program without the help of law students or Drake, which had provided as much as two-thirds of the money in some years. Question: Where does Alan Schroeder work?. Output:
Alan Schroeder works as the supervisor at Boone County Legal Aid and he has a private practice as a city attorney.

Sent 4: On the peninsula, the oldest human-related relics (10,000 b.c. Sent 5: ) are Stone Age tools of the Negritos. Sent 6: These small, dark Melanesians are related in type to Australian aborigines and are confined today to the forests of the northern highlands. Sent 7: By 2,000 b.c. Sent 8: , these timid, gentle nomads hunting with bow and arrow were driven back from the coasts by waves of sturdy immigrants arriving in outrigger canoes equipped with sails. Sent 9: Mongolians from South China and Polynesian and Malay peoples from the Philippines and the Indonesian islands settled along the rivers of the peninsula and northern Borneo. Sent 10: They practiced a slash-and-burn agriculture of yams and millet, a technique that exhausted the soil and imposed a semi-nomadic existence from one jungle clearing to another.

Sent 3: The dusky litter of the cabin set off her radiant trimness: tarry Johnson was a foil to her fair beauty; she glowed in that poor place, fair as a star; until even I, who was not usually of her admirers, caught a spark of admiration; and even the captain, who was in no courtly humour, proposed that the scene should be commemorated by my pencil. Sent 4: It was the last act of the evening. Sent 5: Hurriedly as I went about my task, the half-hour had lengthened out to more than three before it was completed: Mamie in full value, the rest of the party figuring in outline only, and the artist himself introduced in a back view, which was pronounced a likeness. Sent 6: But it was to Mamie that I devoted the best of my attention; and it was with her I made my chief success. Question: How long did the last act of the evening take before it was completed?.
Output: 3 hours.

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: (CNN) -- The U.S. space shuttle program retired in 2011, leaving American astronauts to hitchhike into orbit. Sent 2: But after three long years, NASA's successor is almost ready to make an entrance. Sent 3: Orion, the agency's newest manned spaceship, is being prepared for its first mission in December. Sent 4: In future missions, it will journey into deep space -- to Mars and beyond -- farther than humans have ever gone before. Sent 5: Orion comes loaded with superlatives. Sent 6: It boasts the largest heat shield ever built and a computer 400 times faster than the ones on the space shuttles. Sent 7: It will be launched into space on the most powerful rocket NASA has ever made. Sent 8: No astronauts will be aboard the December flight, which will test the spacecraft's systems for future manned missions. Sent 9: Final work on the spacecraft is under way at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Sent 10: Orion came one step closer to completion this month with the stacking of the crew module atop the service module. Sent 11: "Now that we're getting so close to launch, the spacecraft completion work is visible every day," Orion Program Manager Mark Geyer said in a statement. Sent 12: A 3,600-mile journey When complete, the Orion capsule will resemble a fencing foil, with a tall spire shooting up from a rounded base. Sent 13: At the top will sit a launch abort system, with downward-facing thrusters that would save the crew from a jarring crash in the event of a rocket malfunction. Sent 14: The bottom portion, the service module, will perform various functions such as in-space propulsion and cargo storage. Sent 15: Nestled between the two will be the crew module, capable of supporting human life from launch until recovery. Sent 16: Attached to the service module will be a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket. Sent 17: For the first time since the space shuttle's debut launch in 1981, the crew compartment will ride on the tip of the rocket rather than hanging onto its side, evoking the configuration of the famous Apollo or Gemini missions. Question: Will any astronauts be aboard NASA's newest manned spaceship for its December flight?. SOLUTION: No. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Unfortunately, because the zooming is rather fast, it is easy to miss the rest of the sentence, so as you correctly note, some viewers got an incorrect impression. Sent 2: It would have been fair for Moore to point out this possible misinterpretation on his website. Sent 3: However, the claim of deliberate distortion is ludicrous for several reasons: a) Moore clearly states that "before he came to Flint", Heston gave an interview. Sent 4: In the excerpt from said interview, we can see that it is from March. Sent 5: If Moore wanted to deceive his viewers, why would he say this, and show the month the interview was published? Sent 6: b) Why should Moore leave the words "Clinton is on the Today Show" visible in the text, which is necessary to correctly interpret the highlighted part? Sent 7: I reviewed the sequence several times and it is perfectly possible to see this text without pausing. Sent 8: c) Both the "soccer mom" interview and the sequences showing the NRA rally make no effort to distort the fact that this rally happened months after the fact. Sent 9: The camera lingers on Bush/Cheney posters, and the protestor is quoted as saying that "we wanted to let the NRA know that we haven't forgotten about Kayla Rolland". Sent 10: You make the hysterical claim that the interview "may be faked" (on the basis that no name is shown for the interviewee), but if Moore had faked it, why the hell should he put this sentence in the protestor's mouth, which directly contradicts the conclusion that the rally happened hours after Kayla's death? Sent 11: Why did Moore, the masterful deveiver, not edit this sequence out? Sent 12: This makes no sense. Sent 13: Opinions may vary on how tasteless it was for Heston to hold a pro gun rally on the location of the nation's youngest school shooting months after the fact, but this sequence of "Bowling" is without doubt the most unfair to Heston. Sent 14: The claims of deliberate distortion don't hold up when viewing the whole scene, though -- as "Hanlon's Razor" states, one should never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence. Sent 15: The somewhat inept editing of the NRA press release has led some viewers to wrong conclusions, which is unfortunate, but Moore's critics have no interest in viewing the matter fairly. Sent 16: Had they done so, Moore himself would probably have apologized for the gaffe. Sent 17: In any case, at no point does Moore make a false statement, in contradiction to claims by critics that his documentary is "full of lies". Question: What text gave viewers the wrong impression. SOLUTION: Text where the zooming is rather fast. PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Boone, Ia. Sent 2: -Poor and elderly people may soon go without legal representation in Boone County. Sent 3: Boone County Legal Aid, which for 31 years has provided legal services to those who couldn't afford them, will close in February if a $10,000 grant from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino is not awarded. Sent 4: The legal service is one of the few programs in Iowa that offers legal representation to those who qualify without turning to the state for its services. Sent 5: "It is a very sad situation, but that's the fact," said Alan Schroeder, city attorney and supervisor of Boone County Legal Aid. Sent 6: For the past two years using money mostly from the city and county, Schroeder has upheld the outfit alone, taking on about 60 clients a year, and settling cases that range from domestic abuse to bankruptcy. Sent 7: He also has a private practice. Sent 8: If the legal service closes, he's unsure where his clients will go. Sent 9: The city of Boone gave Schroeder $6,300 in July to resolve pending cases, said Kathy Berg, Boone's finance officer. Sent 10: Without that, the program might already be closed. Sent 11: "All governments are having problems with finances," Boone Mayor George Maybee said. Sent 12: "No one else stepped in. Sent 13: The county didn't. Sent 14: The state didn't."Sent 15: Donovan Olson, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the board quit funding the legal service in July because it felt the county didn't need it. Sent 16: Drake University ended its funding after the 2000 spring semester "for a variety of reasons," Suzanne Levitt, the law professor who oversaw the program, said via e-mail. Sent 17: Olson said Schroeder must prove Prairie Meadows is the primary money source for the board to grant the program any more money. Sent 18: Schroeder ran the program without the help of law students or Drake, which had provided as much as two-thirds of the money in some years. Question: Where does Alan Schroeder work?. SOLUTION:
Alan Schroeder works as the supervisor at Boone County Legal Aid and he has a private practice as a city attorney.

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: Tim had always a red bike. 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: What did Tim want for a present and did he get it?. Example Output: Yes. Example Input: 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 were the initial plans of the plane attack masterminds, before switching plans?. Example Output: To engage al Qaeda members to execute the planes operation. Example Input: 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: What did the controllers do when American 11 left the first controller's airspace and moved into another sector?. Example Output:
Immediately began to move aircraft out of its path and asked other aircraft.

Sent 3: He suggested threatening reprisals against the Taliban in Afghanistan in the event of any attacks on U.S. interests, anywhere, by Bin Laden. Sent 4: He further proposed to Berger that a strike be made during the last week of 1999 against al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan-a proposal not adopted. Sent 5: Warned by the CIA that the disrupted Jordanian plot was probably part of a larger series of attacks intended for the millennium, some possibly involving chemical weapons, the Principals Committee met on the night of December 8 and decided to task Clarke's Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) to develop plans to deter and disrupt al Qaeda plots. Sent 6: Michael Sheehan, the State Department member of the CSG, communicated warnings to the Taliban that they would be held responsible for future al Qaeda attacks."Sent 7: Mike was not diplomatic," Clarke reported to Berger.

[Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: The National Security Act of 1947 created the position of Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). Sent 2: Independent from the departments of Defense, State, Justice, and other policy departments, the DCI heads the U.S.intelligence community and provides intelligence to federal entities. Sent 3: The sole element of the intelligence community independent from a cabinet agency is the CIA. Sent 4: As an independent agency, it collects, analyzes, and disseminates intelligence from all sources. Sent 5: The CIA's number one customer is the president of the United States, who also has the authority to direct it to conduct covert operations. Sent 6: Although covert actions represent a very small fraction of the Agency's entire budget, these operations have at times been controversial and over time have dominated the public's perception of the CIA.

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: Who coordinates development of intelligence agency budget requests for submission to Congress?. [A]:
Director of Central Intelligence.

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. See one example below: Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapiʻolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sent 2: He is the only President to have been born in Hawaii. Sent 3: He was born to a white mother and a black father. Sent 4: His mother, Ann Dunham (1942-1995), was born in Wichita, Kansas, of mostly English descent, with some German, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, and Welsh ancestry. Question: How old was Obama's mother when he was born? Solution: 19. Explanation: Obama was born in 1961. His mother was born in 1942 and 1961-1942=19. Therefore, any of the following responses are considred correct: '19' and 'almost twenty'. Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: Neighborhood Legal Services, which provides free legal services to the poor, has expanded into the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys, areas with large Asian populations, many of whom speak limited or no English. Sent 2: Language is their biggest obstacle, but the Asian communities' cultural isolation and service providers' lack of cultural expertise also play a part, said NLS executive director Neal Dubovitz. Sent 3: And with 13 percent to 15 percent of the Asian population in the U.S. living below the poverty line, NLS services are badly needed, Dubovitz said. Sent 4: "Although it is a significant part of the poverty population, Asians historically have not been able to participate in the services and programs available to the poor," he said. Sent 5: From simple telephone advice to complete legal representation in court, the agency provides free consumer, health, family, immigration, housing, public benefits and labor legal services to people who earn under $1,380 per month. Sent 6: Legal service providers have long served large Latino populations, who have cultural diversity but share a common language. Sent 7: "I remember the days when there were only a handful of people in the legal offices who spoke Spanish," Dudovitz said. Sent 8: "Now Spanish and English are interchangeable. Sent 9: Our goal is to have that for the major Asian languages as well."Sent 10: Before the expansion, only a few NLS lawyers spoke Asian languages, said attorney Rebecca Yee, who was hired by NLS in April 2002 to design and head the project. Sent 11: "Now we have people speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, Khmer (from Cambodia), Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog," Yee said. Sent 12: One of the 13 attorneys hired to work with the program is Irene Mak, a family law attorney who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai. Sent 13: Mak was a partner at a private law firm before she went to work for NLS two years ago, earning up to $20,000 less a year working on domestic violence cases. Sent 14: "The job is more satisfying than the money," said Mak, who grew up in Hong Kong and Thailand before coming to the United States. Sent 15: "I could use my language skills and wanted to give back to the Asian community."Sent 16: NLS expanded when Legal Services Corp., the federal agency that funds providers of free legal services nationwide, reduced the number of grantees in the Los Angeles area from five to three, Dudovitz said. Sent 17: NLS won the competitive grant over the Legal Services Program for Pasadena, San Gabriel-Pomona valleys. Sent 18: That boosted its client base from 16,000 to around 25,000, and NLS opened an office in El Monte. Question: What boosted the NLS client base to 25,000?. Solution:
NLS winning the competitive grant over the Legal Services Program.

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. Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: These incoherent words threw the first glimpse of light on the meaning of her distress and penitence. Sent 2: I doubt if the best woman in Christendom would so reproach and abase herself, if convicted of even a worse sin than the secret use of those stimulants for which the "charny" is a Martial equivalent. Sent 3: No Martialist would dream of poisoning his blood and besotting his brain with alcohol in any form. Sent 4: But their opiates affect a race addicted to physical repose, to sensuous enjoyment rather than to sensual excitement, and to lucid intellectual contemplation, with a sense of serene delight as supremely delicious to their temperament as the dreamy illusions of haschisch to the Turk, the fierce frenzy of bhang to the Malay, or the wild excitement of brandy or Geneva to the races of Northern Europe. Sent 5: But as with the luxury of intoxication in Europe, so in Mars indulgence in these drugs, freely permitted to the one sex, is strictly forbidden by opinion and domestic rule to the other. Sent 6: A lady discovered in the use of "charny" is as deeply disgraced as an European matron detected in the secret enjoyment of spirits and cigars; and her lord and master takes care to render her sufficiently conscious of her fault. Question: What is the name of the drug used in Mars?. Example Output: Charny. Example Input: 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: Who expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands?. Example Output: Bendahara.

New input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The city of Edinburgh grew up around the steep, ragged cliff of the Castle Rock and its easily defended summit. Sent 2: Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of habitation here as long ago as 900 b.c. Sent 3: Very little, however, is known about the Rock and its inhabitants in the centuries between its first occupation and the time of the MacAlpin kings. Sent 4: A few shadowy details have been left to us by the Romans and by an epic poem from the seventh century. Sent 5: Romans and Britons The Romans invaded Scotland in a.d. Sent 6: 78–84, where they met a fierce group called the Picts, whom they drove north. Sent 7: They consolidated their gains by building Antonine's Wall across the waist of Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the River Clyde in about a.d. Sent 8: Roman legions encountered the strongholds of the Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat, held by a tribe of ancient Britons known as the Votadini. Sent 9: Little is recorded about this group, but they were probably the ancestors of the Gododdin, whose feats are told in a seventh-century Old Welsh manuscript. Sent 10: The capital of the Gododdin was Din Eidyn (the "Fort of Eidyn," almost certainly the Castle Rock), whose name lives on in the Edin- of Edinburgh. Sent 11: Din Eidyn fell to the Angles in 638 and became part of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. Sent 12: It was the first of many times that the Fort of Eidyn would change hands between the kingdoms of the north and the south. Sent 13: The MacAlpin Kings Four distinct peoples once inhabited the land now known as Scotland: the Picts in the north, the Britons in the southwest, the invading Angles in the southeast, and the Scots in the west. Sent 14: The Scots were Gaelic-speaking immigrants from the north of Ireland. Sent 15: Kenneth MacAlpin, who ruled as king of Scots at Dunadd, acquired the Pictish throne in 843, uniting Scotland north of the River Forth into a single kingdom. Sent 16: He moved his capital — along with the Stone of Destiny (on which Scottish kings were crowned) — to the sacred Pict site of Scone, close to Perth. Sent 17: His great-great-great-grandson, Malcolm II (1005–1034), defeated the Angles at the Battle of Carham in 1018 and extended Scottish territory as far south as the River Tweed. Question: Who did the Romans first meet when they invaded Scotland?. Solution:
The Picts.

Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: On the previous evening,--March 12th,--the monotony of the camp had been unexpectedly disturbed by the arrival, from the direction of Salt Lake City, of a horseman completely exhausted by fatigue and cold, who proved to be no other than Mr. Kane, whose mission to the Mormons by way of California was at that time totally unknown to the army. Sent 2: The next morning he introduced himself to the Governor, was received as his guest, and remained in conference with him throughout the day. Sent 3: What was the character of their communication is unknown, except by inference from its results. Sent 4: When presented to Judge Eckels, on the following day, Mr. Kane exhibited to him the letters he bore from the President, and other letters, also, from Brigham Young, accrediting him as a negotiator in the existing difficulties. Sent 5: To General Johnston he showed nothing; nor did the Governor, to the knowledge of the camp, acquaint either that officer or any other person with the purport of his business. Sent 6: It was evident to everybody, however, that the Mormon leaders, conscious of their inability to resist the force by which they would be assailed so soon as the snow should melt upon the mountains, were engaged in an effort, of which Mr. Kane was the agent, to secure through the Governor, if possible, indemnity for their past offences, in consideration of acknowledgment of his authority. Question: How many people was Mr. Kane involved with in his meetings?.
Solution: Three.

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. Ex Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Legal Services Corp. (LSC), a quasi-governmental agency that provides legal aid for the poor, would receive $329 million in fiscal 2004 under President Bush's proposal - the same amount requested in 2003 and approved for 2002 and 2001. Sent 2: If approved, the hold-the-line request for LSC means its budget would erode with inflation for another year, but it could be worse for the organization: Many conservatives fought for years to do away with the LSC altogether, saying legal services attorneys were spending too much time fighting for liberal causes or pursuing politically charged cases against the government instead of representing the needy. Sent 3: Opposition to the organization has cooled since 1996, when Congress approved restrictions (PL 104-134) on the sorts of cases federally funded legal aid attorneys can take. Sent 4: (1996 Almanac, p. Sent 5: 5-36) Republicans cut the organization's budget deeply in 1996, but its funding has recovered slowly. Sent 6: Last month, in the omnibus spending bill for fiscal 2003, the Senate added a onetime increase of $19 million, which, if approved in the final version, would bring the LSC budget to $348 million. Sent 7: The money would go to help states, such as Michigan and Ohio, that lost money when the organization redistributed its funding based on census counts made in 2000 of poor households. Sent 8: If the extra money survives a conference with the House and makes it to the president's desk, LSC supporters may try to include it in the organization's fiscal 2004 funding. Sent 9: The federal government began funding some programs to provide legal assistance to the poor in the late 1960s; the Legal Services Corporation was created in 1974 (PL 93-355). Sent 10: LSC gives nearly all its money to state and local agencies, which provide civil legal assistance to those whose income is less than 125 percent of the federal poverty level - $11,075 a year for an individual and $22,625 for a family of four. Sent 11: Funding for legal services goes to defend needy clients in domestic violence cases, custody cases and other such matters, according to LSC. Sent 12: Since 1996, lawyers who receive money from Legal Services have been prohibited from such activities as lobbying legislatures, filing class-action suits, participating in political demonstrations or strikes, pursuing abortion-related litigation, representing illegal aliens or prisoners, or defending public housing tenants evicted because they were charged with selling drugs. Question: List the current budget of the LSC, and the budget with the addition of the onetime increase. Ex Output: $348 million.
