Teacher: In this task, you need to write an incorrect answer to the given question. Along with the question, you are also given the correct answer(s) and the associated paragraph. An incorrect answer should be closely related to the content of the paragraph and/or the question but will not truthfully answer the question. Your incorrect answers should be similar to the given correct answer such that it will pose a challenge for students to distinguish the two. A good incorrect answer should prevent those who skip the paragraph from answering the question. The incorrect answer should not be trivial, in the sense that they should not be easily eliminated without reading the paragraph.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Paragraph- Sent 1: It was hot that day.
Sent 2: The temperature on the wall of the backyard was showing something well over 100 F.
Sent 3: Meanwhile Tom, at home, was trying finish the remainder of carrots from last night, and packing for his trip to Chicago tomorrow.
Sent 4: As employees of the Art Museum, Tom and his older cousin often had to travel to Chicago. Question: What was the temperature outside, when Tom was eating carrots? Correct Answer: well over 100 F.
Solution: Not very hot.
Reason: This is a good incorrect answer, as most of the the words of this answer appear in the the paragraph. They are also related to the content of the question (temperature), yet do not answer the question correctly. Consequently, one has to carefully read the paragraph understand that "not very hot" does not answer the question.
Now, solve this instance: Paragraph- Sent 1: Is this an insect or an animal?
Sent 2: A snail is an animal just like you and me.
Sent 3: Thats right, you too are an animal.
Sent 4: No, you don't look like a snail.
Sent 5: You do have some things in common.
Sent 6: Animals can be divided into many groups.
Sent 7: These groups are decided based on their characteristics.
Sent 8: All animals have some basic features in common.
Sent 9: That does not mean they are the same.
Sent 10: They also have many differences.
Sent 11: For example, snails are mollusks and not insects.
Sent 12: Mollusks have a unique set of features.
Sent 13: Notice the large foot that allows it to move.
Sent 14: Yes, it only has one foot.
Sent 15: Did you notice the long antennas on its head?
Sent 16: This is where the snail's eyes are.
Sent 17: They are on the end of the antenna.
Sent 18: They are not on its head like most animals.
Sent 19: The foot and eyes are unique features.
Sent 20: Scientists use these features to place animals into groups.
Question: Where are snails' eyes?.
Student: | On the face. | 2 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |

Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: When single father Thurman Williams needed help filling out papers in a custody suit recently, he didn't look to his lawyer for help.
Sent 2: He walked to a computerized kiosk at the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange and started tapping the keys.
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 15: The exercise took 20 minutes; it would have cost him about $800 if he had relied on a lawyer, he said.
Sent 16: "It was a lot easier than I thought."Sent 17: Whether they can't afford a lawyer or just want to save money, more Californians are going to court without a lawyer.
Sent 18: "I'm just amazed at the numbers," said Commissioner Salvador Sarmiento, who hears between 40 and 90 child-support cases a day in Lamoreaux Justice Center.
Question: Why did Thurman Williams walk to a computerized kiosk at the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange and just start tapping keys, as oppose to finding a lawyer?.
Example Output: Didn't want to go to an office.
Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: She led the way into the cheerful schoolroom, where big girls and little girls were sitting about, amusing themselves in the quiet of a long Sunday afternoon.
Sent 2: Several of the younger children ran to her as she came in, and stood holding fast to the folds of her black habit, staring up at the strangers, while she explained the kind of instruction given, the system, and the order reigning in each department.
Sent 3: Finally, she persuaded a little girl, only six years old, to take her dusky face out of the long flowing veil of the nun, and show how quickly she could read a sentence that Sister Winifred wrote on the blackboard.
Sent 4: Then others were called on, and gave examples of their accomplishments in easy arithmetic and spelling.
Sent 5: The children must have been very much bored with themselves that stormy Sunday, for they entered into the examination with a quite unnatural zest.
Sent 6: Two of the elder girls recited, and some specimens of penmanship and composition were shown.
Sent 7: The delicate complexion of the little nun flushed to a pretty wild-rose pink as these pupils of hers won the Colonel's old fashioned compliments.
Question: Who was among the strangers in the schoolroom with the nun.
Example Output: Sister Winifred.
Example Input: 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: Who rebuilt the choir and eastern transept?.
Example Output: | English architects.

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 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: Was the public explicitly made aware of the mission or business of Mr. Kane at any point?.
Answer: | Yes, when the snow melted.

Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Mr. Andrews pointed to one of the oak chairs.
Sent 2: "You sit there," he commanded, "it's reserved for members of the bar, but it's all right.
Sent 3: You're with ME." Distinctly annoyed, slightly bewildered, the banker sank between the arms of a chair.
Sent 4: He felt he had lost his individuality.
Sent 5: Andrews had become his sponsor.
Sent 6: Because of Andrews he was tolerated.
Sent 7: Because Andrews had a pull he was permitted to sit as an equal among police-court lawyers.

Sent 9: He was merely the man "with Mr. Andrews." Then even Andrews abandoned him.
Sent 10: "The judge'll be here in a minute, now," said the assistant district attorney, and went inside a railed enclosure in front of the judge's bench.
Sent 11: There he greeted another assistant district attorney whose years were those of even greater indiscretion than the years of Mr. Andrews.
Sent 12: Seated on the rail, with their hands in their pockets and their backs turned to Mr. Thorndike, they laughed and talked together.
Sent 13: The subject of their discourse was one Mike Donlin, as he appeared in vaudeville.
Sent 14: To Mr. Thorndike it was evident that young Andrews had entirely forgotten him.
Sent 15: He arose, and touched his sleeve.
Sent 16: With infinite sarcasm Mr. Thorndike began: "My engagements are not pressing, but—" A court attendant beat with his palm upon the rail.
Sent 17: "Sit down!" whispered Andrews.
Sent 18: "The judge is coming." Mr. Thorndike sat down.
Sent 19: The court attendant droned loudly words Mr. Thorndike could not distinguish.
Sent 20: There was a rustle of silk, and from a door behind him the judge stalked past.

Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: New Horizons: Exhausted after the Civil War, Spain remained on the sidelines during World War II and began to recover economically under the oppressive, law-and-order regime of Franco.
Sent 2: There had been a foretaste of elite foreign tourism in the 1920s, but it was the late 1950s when the rest of Europe began sun-seeking pilgrimages to Spain.
Sent 3: Tourism exploded into an annual southern migration, transforming the Spanish economy, landscape, and society.
Sent 4: Eager to capitalize, the country poured its soul into mass tourism, which triggered a rash of indiscriminate building on the southern and eastern coastlines, with scant regard for tradition or aesthetics.
Sent 5: But after so many years closed off from the rest of Europe, of equal significance was the injection of foreign influences into Franco's once hermetically sealed Spain.
Sent 6: Mallorca and Menorca in particular saw explosive growth in tourism; by the 1970s, the Balearics were one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations.
Sent 7: Franco named as his successor the grandson of Alfonso XIII, who was enthroned as King Juan Carlos I when the dictator died in 1975.
Sent 8: To the dismay of Franco diehards, the king brilliantly managed the transition to democracy, then stood back to allow it full rein, even intervening during a brief attempt at a military coup.
Sent 9: After many years of repression, new freedoms and autonomy were granted to Spanish regions, including the Balearics, and their languages and cultures enjoyed a long-desired renaissance.
Sent 10: More a part of Europe than ever before, Spain joined the European Community (now European Union) in 1986, giving further boost to a booming economy.
Sent 11: The tourist industry continued to expand, and though it became one of the top two income earners in Spain, a realization that unrestricted mass tourism was leading to damaging long-term consequences also began to grow.
Sent 12: By the late 1990s, a new emphasis on quality and, especially in the Balearics, on safeguarding the environment had finally taken root—too late for many environmentalists, but hopefully still in time to preserve much of the natural beauty and unique character of the Las Islas Baleares.
Question: Why was Spain so isolated and what event happened that allowed Mallorca and Menorca to see explosions in tourism?.
Output: King Juan Carlos I had isolated Spain, and his death allowed Mallorca and Menorca to see explosions in tourism.
Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Johnnie had a set of small volumes of English verse, extensively annotated by his own hand, which Stoddard had brought to her early in their acquaintance, leaving it with her more as a gift than as a loan.
Sent 2: She kept these little books after all the others had gone back.
Sent 3: She had read and reread them--cullings from Chaucer, from Spenser, from the Elizabethan lyrists, the border balladry, fierce, tender, oh, so human--till she knew pages of them by heart, and their vocabulary influenced her own, their imagery tinged all her leisure thoughts.
Sent 4: It seemed to her, whenever she debated returning them, that she could not bear it.
Sent 5: She would get them out and sit with one of them open in her hands, not reading, but staring at the pages with unseeing eyes, passing her fingers over it, as one strokes a beloved hand, or turning through each book only to find the pencilled words in the margins.
Sent 6: She would be giving up part of herself when she took these back.
Sent 7: Yet it had to be done, and one miserable morning she made them all into a neat package, intending to carry them to the mill and place them on Stoddard's desk thus early, when nobody would be in the office.
Sent 8: Then the children came in; Deanie was half sick; and in the distress of getting the ailing child comfortably into her own bed, Johnnie forgot the books.
Sent 9: Taking them in at noon, she met Stoddard himself.
Question: Who wrote in the books' margins?.
| Output: Johnnie.

Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The after-action review had treated the CIA as the lead agency for any offensive against al Qaeda, and the principals, at their March 10 meeting, had endorsed strengthening the CIA's capability for that role.
Sent 2: To the CTC, that meant proceeding with "The Plan," which it had put forward half a year earlier-hiring and training more case officers and building up the capabilities of foreign security services that provided intelligence via liaison.
Sent 3: On occasion, as in Jordan in December 1999, these liaison services took direct action against al Qaeda cells.
Sent 4: In the CTC and higher up, the CIA's managers believed that they desperately needed funds just to continue their current counterterrorism effort, for they reckoned that the millennium alert had already used up all of the Center's funds for the current fiscal year; the Bin Laden unit had spent 140 percent of its allocation.
Sent 5: Tenet told us he met with Berger to discuss funding for counterterrorism just two days after the principals' meeting.
Sent 6: While Clarke strongly favored giving the CIA more money for counterterrorism, he differed sharply with the CIA's managers about where it should come from.
Sent 7: They insisted that the CIA had been shortchanged ever since the end of the Cold War.
Sent 8: Their ability to perform any mission, counterterrorism included, they argued, depended on preserving what they had, restoring what they had lost since the beginning of the 1990s, and building from there-with across-the-board recruitment and training of new case officers, and the reopening of closed stations.
Sent 9: To finance the counterterrorism effort, Tenet had gone to congressional leaders after the 1998 embassy bombings and persuaded them to give the CIA a special supplemental appropriation.
Sent 10: Now, in the aftermath of the millennium alert, Tenet wanted a boost in overall funds for the CIA and another supplemental appropriation specifically for counterterrorism.
Sent 11: To Clarke, this seemed evidence that the CIA's leadership did not give sufficient priority to the battle against Bin Laden and al Qaeda.
Sent 12: He told us that James Pavitt, the head of the CIA's Directorate of Operations, "said if there's going to be money spent on going after Bin Laden, it should be given to him.
Sent 13: My view was that he had had a lot of money to do it and a long time to do it, and I didn't want to put more good money after bad."Sent 14: The CIA had a very different attitude: Pavitt told us that while the CIA's Bin Laden unit did"extraordinary and commendable work," his chief of station in London "was just as much part of the al Qaeda struggle as an officer sitting in [the Bin Laden unit]."Sent 15: The dispute had large managerial implications, for Clarke had found Ailies in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Question: What alert caused the CIA's managers believe that they had already used up all of the Center's funds for the current fiscal year, and caused Tenet to want a boost in overall funds for the CIA?.
Output: World trade centre attack.
Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The CIA's senior management saw problems with the armed Predator as well, problems that Clarke and even Black and Allen were inclined to minimize.
Sent 2: One (which also applied to reconnaissance flights) was money.
Sent 3: A Predator cost about $3 million.
Sent 4: If the CIA flew Predators for its own reconnaissance or covert action purposes, it might be able to borrow them from the Air Force, but it was not clear that the Air Force would bear the cost if a vehicle went down.
Sent 5: Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz took the position that the CIA should have to pay for it; the CIA disagreed.
Sent 6: Second, Tenet in particular questioned whether he, as Director of Central Intelligence, should operate an armed Predator."Sent 7: This was new ground,"he told us.
Sent 8: Tenet ticked off key questions: What is the chain of command?
Sent 9: Who takes the shot?
Sent 10: Are America's leaders comfortable with the CIA doing this, going outside of normal military command and control?
Sent 11: Charlie Allen told us that when these questions were discussed at the CIA, he and the Agency's executive director, A. B." Buzzy" Krongard, had said that either one of them would be happy to pull the trigger, but Tenet was appalled, telling them that they had no authority to do it, nor did he.
Sent 12: Third, the Hellfire warhead carried by the Predator needed work.
Sent 13: It had been built to hit tanks, not people.
Sent 14: It needed to be designed to explode in a different way, and even then had to be targeted with extreme precision.
Sent 15: In the configuration planned by the Air Force through mid-2001, the Predator's missile would not be able to hit a moving vehicle.
Sent 16: White House officials had seen the Predator video of the "man in white."Sent 17: On July 11, Hadley tried to hurry along preparation of the armed system.
Sent 18: He directed McLaughlin, Wolfowitz, and Joint Chiefs Vice Chairman Richard Myers to deploy Predators capable of being armed no later than September 1.
Question: What key questions did the Director of Intelligence have about the CIA's operation of The Predator?.
Output: Who had the money to fund this venture?.
Input: Consider Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The explosion, while killing one of the Cossacks and seriously wounding the driver and people on the sidewalk, had only damaged the bulletproof carriage, a gift from Napoleon III of France.
Sent 2: The emperor emerged shaken but unhurt.
Sent 3: Rysakov was captured almost immediately.
Sent 4: Police Chief Dvorzhitsky heard Rysakov shout out to someone else in the gathering crowd.
Sent 5: The surrounding guards and the Cossacks urged the emperor to leave the area at once rather than being shown the site of the explosion.
Sent 6: Nevertheless, a second young member of the Narodnaya Volya, Ignacy Hryniewiecki, standing by the canal fence, raised both arms and threw something at the emperor's feet.
Sent 7: He was alleged to have shouted, "It is too early to thank God".
Sent 8: Dvorzhitsky was later to write:.

Sent 2: He invited the chieftains of the former satrapy of Gandhara, in the north of what is now Pakistan, to come to him and submit to his authority.
Sent 3: Omphis(Indian name Ambhi Kumar), the ruler of Taxila, whose kingdom extended from the Indus to the Hydaspes (Jhelum), complied, but the chieftains of some hill clans, including the Aspasioi and Assakenoi sections of the Kambojas (known in Indian texts also as Ashvayanas and Ashvakayanas), refused to submit.
Sent 4: Ambhi hastened to relieve Alexander of his apprehension and met him with valuable presents, placing himself and all his forces at his disposal.

Sent 6: Alexander was emboldened to divide his forces, and Ambhi assisted Hephaestion and Perdiccas in constructing a bridge over the Indus where it bends at Hund (Fox 1973), supplied their troops with provisions, and received Alexander himself, and his whole army, in his capital city of Taxila, with every demonstration of friendship and the most liberal hospitality.
Sent 7: On the subsequent advance of the Macedonian king, Taxiles accompanied him with a force of 5000 men and took part in the battle of the Hydaspes River.
Sent 8: After that victory he was sent by Alexander in pursuit of Porus, to whom he was charged to offer favourable terms, but narrowly escaped losing his life at the hands of his old enemy.
Sent 9: Subsequently, however, the two rivals were reconciled by the personal mediation of Alexander; and Taxiles, after having contributed zealously to the equipment of the fleet on the Hydaspes, was entrusted by the king with the government of the whole territory between that river and the Indus.
Sent 10: A considerable accession of power was granted him after the death of Philip, son of Machatas; and he was allowed to retain his authority at the death of Alexander himself (323 BC), as well as in the subsequent partition of the provinces at Triparadisus, 321 BC.
Sent 11: In the winter of 327/326 BC, Alexander personally led a campaign against these clans; the Aspasioi of Kunar valleys, the Guraeans of the Guraeus valley, and the Assakenoi of the Swat and Buner valleys.
Sent 12: A fierce contest ensued with the Aspasioi in which Alexander was wounded in the shoulder by a dart, but eventually the Aspasioi lost.
Sent 13: Alexander then faced the Assakenoi, who fought in the strongholds of Massaga, Ora and Aornos.
Sent 14: The fort of Massaga was reduced only after days of bloody fighting, in which Alexander was wounded seriously in the ankle.
Sent 15: According to Curtius, "Not only did Alexander slaughter the entire population of Massaga, but also did he reduce its buildings to rubble".

Sent 2: Some claim that the archipelago is what remains of Plato's lost Atlantis, or part of a landmass that once fused the continents of Europe and America.
Sent 3: The Portuguese Step Ashore: Recorded history of the volcanic archipelago begins in relatively recent times: 1418, just as the golden age of Portuguese discovery was erupting.
Sent 4: Under the leadership of Henry the Navigator, caravels set out from the westernmost point of the Algarve, in southern Portugal, in search of foreign lands, fame, and wealth.
Sent 5: João Gonçalves Zarco, sailing in the service of Prince Henry, made the first of many famous Portuguese discoveries, which would culminate a century later in Magellan's historic circumnavigation of the globe.
Sent 6: Zarco happened upon a small volcanic archipelago 1,000 km from Lisbon.
Sent 7: Perhaps Zarco knew precisely where he was heading, having learned of the existence of Madeira from a Castilian source.
Sent 8: After all, the waters of the Canary Islands, only 445 km (275 miles) to the south, had occupied busy shipping lanes for very nearly a century, and Genovese maps from the mid-14th century depict both Madeira and Porto Santo.
Sent 9: More likely, Zarco was heading for Guinea and storms forced him onto the beach of Porto Santo.
Sent 10: If so, then he was extremely fortunate, for he managed to land on the only large, sandy beach for hundreds of miles around.
Sent 11: Little wonder he subsequently named it Porto Santo (Holy Port).
Sent 12: The following year Zarco returned to claim the larger island he had seen from Porto Santo, and with him went Tristão Vaz Teixeira and Bartolomeu Perestrelo.
Sent 13: They officially became the first men to set foot on the heavily forested island, naming it Ilha da Madeira, "Island of Timber.
Sent 14: " The Portuguese Crown, delighted with its first important discovery, immediately embarked on a program of colonization.
Sent 15: Zarco and Teixeira were appointed co-governors of Madeira, while Perestrelo was awarded Porto Santo.
Question: Why might a Castillian source have known about the existence of Madeira around the time Zarco was exploring?.

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 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?.
answer:
Technical University of Cairo.

Sent 2: The temperature on the wall of the backyard was showing something well over 100 F.
Sent 3: Meanwhile Tom, at home, was trying finish the remainder of carrots from last night, and packing for his trip to Chicago tomorrow.
Sent 4: As employees of the Art Museum, Tom and his older cousin often had to travel to Chicago. Question: What was the temperature outside, when Tom was eating carrots? Correct Answer: well over 100 F.
Solution: Not very hot.
Explanation: This is a good incorrect answer, as most of the the words of this answer appear in the the paragraph. They are also related to the content of the question (temperature), yet do not answer the question correctly. Consequently, one has to carefully read the paragraph understand that "not very hot" does not answer the question.
Problem: Paragraph- Sent 1: In the rest of the world, China's supreme sage, Kongfuzi (K'ung Fu-tzu), is better known by the romanized name "Confucius." He was born in 551 b.c.
Sent 2: in what is now Shandong Province in eastern China.
Sent 3: So profound was his influence that eleven Chinese emperors made pilgrimages to the birthplace of the Great Teacher.
Sent 4: You, too, can pay your respects at the vast temple raised on the site of his home in the small town of Qufu (Chufu), and at his tomb in the woods just to the north.
Sent 5: The classics of Confucius, while seldom addressing spiritual and metaphysical matters, set standards for social and political conduct that still underlie many of the Chinese ways of doing and perceiving.
Sent 6: Confucius laid great stress on the proper and harmonious relationships between ruler and subject, parent and child, teacher and student, the individual and the state.
Sent 7: These relationships were deemed to be hierarchical and dictatorial.
Sent 8: If the order was disturbed, dire consequences inevitably resulted.
Sent 9: The son who disobeyed the father would bring disaster upon himself and his family, just as the emperor who defied the "mandate of heaven" or ignored the good of the empire brought ruin upon the nation.
Sent 10: Over the centuries Confucius has suffered more changes of fortune than probably any other philosopher.
Sent 11: Honored soon after his death as the greatest of scholars, he was later revered as semi-divine; you can still visit temples to Confucius in many Chinese cities.
Sent 12: During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), however, he was denounced as a counter-revolutionary force.
Sent 13: It was only after the death of Chairman Mao (1976) and the opening of China to the outside world under more progressive reformers that Confucius, too, was "rehabilitated." Unlike Confucius, about whose life many specific and even colorful details are known, the philosopher Laozi (Lao Tse or Lao-Tzu) is an enigma.
Sent 14: Estimates of his date of birth vary by well over a century.
Sent 15: One legend even says he taught the young Confucius.
Sent 16: Laozi is immortalized by his book of thoughts on man, nature, and the universe, Daodejing ("The Way and Its Power"), which became the major text of China's greatest indigenous religion, Daoism (Taoism).
Sent 17: With its emphasis on nature, intuition, the individual, paradox ("The knowledge which is not knowledge"), and the cosmic flow known as "The Way," Daoism became the religion of artists and philosophers.
Sent 18: After the death of Confucius, the Zhou Dynasty entered a period of strife known as the "Warring States" period (475–221 b.c.).
Question: Who's influence was so profound that eleven Chinese emperors made pilgrimages to his birthplace?.
Solution: | Twenty-six Chinese emperors have visited his birthplace. | 4 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |

Q: 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: Who is the primary source of funding going to come from?.
A: | Donovan Olson.

Teacher: In this task, you need to write an incorrect answer to the given question. Along with the question, you are also given the correct answer(s) and the associated paragraph. An incorrect answer should be closely related to the content of the paragraph and/or the question but will not truthfully answer the question. Your incorrect answers should be similar to the given correct answer such that it will pose a challenge for students to distinguish the two. A good incorrect answer should prevent those who skip the paragraph from answering the question. The incorrect answer should not be trivial, in the sense that they should not be easily eliminated without reading the paragraph.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Paragraph- Sent 1: It was hot that day.
Sent 2: The temperature on the wall of the backyard was showing something well over 100 F.
Sent 3: Meanwhile Tom, at home, was trying finish the remainder of carrots from last night, and packing for his trip to Chicago tomorrow.
Sent 4: As employees of the Art Museum, Tom and his older cousin often had to travel to Chicago. Question: What was the temperature outside, when Tom was eating carrots? Correct Answer: well over 100 F.
Solution: Not very hot.
Reason: This is a good incorrect answer, as most of the the words of this answer appear in the the paragraph. They are also related to the content of the question (temperature), yet do not answer the question correctly. Consequently, one has to carefully read the paragraph understand that "not very hot" does not answer the question.
Now, solve this instance: 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.
Sent 14: The products examined thus far meet the definition of a combination drug-device product under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Sent 15: "We know very little about these devices, said Dr. Jonathan Samet, director of the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California, "but to say they are healthy -- that's highly doubtful.".

Solution is here: Not very hot.
Explanation: This is a good incorrect answer, as most of the the words of this answer appear in the the paragraph. They are also related to the content of the question (temperature), yet do not answer the question correctly. Consequently, one has to carefully read the paragraph understand that "not very hot" does not answer the question.
Now, solve this: Paragraph- Sent 1: Zinni feared that Bin Laden would in the future locate himself in cities, where U.S. missiles could kill thousands of Afghans.
Sent 2: He worried also lest Pakistani authorities not get adequate warning, think the missiles came from India, RESPONSES TO AL QAEDA'S INITIAL ASSAULTS 135 and do something that everyone would later regret.
Sent 3: Discussing potential repercussions in the region of his military responsibility, Zinni said, "It was easy to take the shot from Washington and walk away from it.
Sent 4: We had to live there."Sent 5: Zinni's distinct preference would have been to build up counterterrorism capabilities in neighboring countries such as Uzbekistan.
Sent 6: But he told us that he could not drum up much interest in or money for such a purpose from Washington, partly, he thought, because these countries had dictatorial governments.
Sent 7: After the decision-in which fear of collateral damage was an important factor- not to use cruise missiles against Kandahar in December 1998, Shelton and officers in the Pentagon developed plans for using an AC-130 gunship instead of cruise missile strikes.
Sent 8: Designed specifically for the special forces, the version of the AC-130 known as "Spooky"can fly in fast or from high altitude, undetected by radar; guided to its zone by extraordinarily complex electronics, it is capable of rapidly firing precision-guided 25, 40, and 105 mm projectiles.
Sent 9: Because this system could target more precisely than a salvo of cruise missiles, it had a much lower risk of causing collateral damage.
Sent 10: After giving Clarke a briefing and being encouraged to proceed, Shelton formally directed Zinni and General Peter Schoomaker, who headed the Special Operations Command, to develop plans for an AC-130 mission against Bin Laden's headquarters and infrastructure in Afghanistan.
Sent 11: The Joint Staff prepared a decision paper for deployment of the Special Operations aircraft.
Sent 12: Though Berger and Clarke continued to indicate interest in this option, the AC-130s were never deployed.
Sent 13: Clarke wrote at the time that Zinni opposed their use, and John Maher, the Joint Staff 's deputy director of operations, agreed that this was Zinni's position.
Sent 14: Zinni himself does not recall blocking the option.
Sent 15: He told us that he understood the Special Operations Command had never thought the intelligence good enough to justify actually moving AC-130s into position.
Sent 16: Schoomaker says, on the contrary, that he thought the AC-130 option feasible.
Sent 17: The most likely explanation for the two generals' differing recollections is that both of them thought serious preparation for any such operations would require a long-term redeployment of Special Operations forces to the Middle East or South Asia.
Sent 18: The AC-130s would need bases because the aircraft's unrefueled range was only a little over 2,000 miles.
Question: What is the range of a spooky.
Solution: | 25 miles. | 6 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |

[Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: On December 4, as news came in about the discoveries in Jordan, National Security Council (NSC) Counterterrorism Coordinator Richard Clarke wrote Berger, "If George's [Tenet's] story about a planned series of UBL attacks at the Millennium is true, we will need to make some decisions NOW."Sent 2: He told us he held several conversations with President Clinton during the crisis.
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.
Sent 8: With virtually no evidence of a Taliban response, a new approach was made to Pakistan.
Sent 9: 13 General Anthony Zinni, the commander of Central Command (CENTCOM), was designated as the President's special envoy and sent to ask General Musharraf to "take whatever action you deem necessary to resolve the Bin Laden problem at the earliest possible time."Sent 10: But Zinni came back emptyhanded.
Sent 11: As Ambassador William Milam reported from Islamabad, Musharraf was "unwilling to take the political heat at home."Sent 12: The CIA worked hard with foreign security services to detain or at least keep an eye on suspected Bin Laden associates.
Sent 13: Tenet spoke to 20 of his foreign counterparts.
Sent 14: Disruption and arrest operations were mounted against terrorists in eight countries.
Sent 15: In mid-December, President Clinton signed a Memorandum of Notification (MON) giving the CIA broader authority to use foreign proxies to detain Bin Laden lieutenants, without having to transfer them to U.S. custody.
Sent 16: The authority was to capture, not kill, though lethal force might be used if necessary.16Tenet would later send a message to all CIA personnel overseas, saying, "The threat could not be more real.
Question: Who proposed to strike Al Qaeda in 1999?.
[A]: Berger.

Sent 10: Here is how to grapple "in the service of justice," as many of the schools put it, instead.
Sent 11: Convinced that corporate largess and government programs barely dent the nation's legal needs, the law schools are urging graduates to buck tradition, pass up big salaries and ignore mushrooming student debt to join tiny neighborhood practices or simply start their own, all with an eye toward charging no more than their clients can afford.
Sent 12: This is not pro bono legal work; it is "low bono," a term the schools coined to define the atypical kind of law career they are training students for.
Sent 13: While its practitioners do charge for their services, they are also dead set on turning no one away - or at least as few as possible.
Sent 14: "When you go into this kind of social justice law, it's really brutal and you're almost guaranteed to struggle for a couple of years before there's a light at the end of the tunnel," said Fred Rooney, director of the Community Legal Resource Network at City University of New York School of Law, from which the lawyers of the newly formed Cates, Katalinic & Lund graduated last May.

One example: Paragraph- Sent 1: It was hot that day.
Sent 2: The temperature on the wall of the backyard was showing something well over 100 F.
Sent 3: Meanwhile Tom, at home, was trying finish the remainder of carrots from last night, and packing for his trip to Chicago tomorrow.
Sent 4: As employees of the Art Museum, Tom and his older cousin often had to travel to Chicago. Question: What was the temperature outside, when Tom was eating carrots? Correct Answer: well over 100 F.
Solution is here: Not very hot.
Explanation: This is a good incorrect answer, as most of the the words of this answer appear in the the paragraph. They are also related to the content of the question (temperature), yet do not answer the question correctly. Consequently, one has to carefully read the paragraph understand that "not very hot" does not answer the question.
Now, solve this: Paragraph- Sent 1: The second major point on which the principals had agreed on March 10 was the need to crack down on terrorist organizations and curtail their fund-raising.
Sent 2: The embassy bombings of 1998 had focused attention on al Qaeda's finances.
Sent 3: One result had been the creation of an NSC-led interagency committee on terrorist financing.
Sent 4: On its recommendation, the President had designated Bin Laden and al Qaeda as subject to sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Sent 5: This gave theTreasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) the ability to search for and freeze any Bin Laden or al Qaeda assets that reached the U.S. financial system.
Sent 6: But since OFAC had little information to go on, few funds were frozen.
Sent 7: In July 1999, the President applied the same designation to the Taliban for harboring Bin Laden.
Sent 8: Here, OFAC had more success.
Sent 9: It blocked more than $34 million in Taliban assets held in U.S. banks.
Sent 10: Another $215 million in gold and $2 million in demand deposits, all belonging to the Afghan central bank and held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, were also frozen.
Sent 11: After October 1999, when the State Department formally designated al Qaeda a "foreign terrorist organization," it became the duty of U.S. banks to block its transactions and seize its funds.
Sent 12: Neither this designation nor UN sanctions had much additional practical effect; the sanctions were easily circumvented, and there were no multilateral mechanisms to ensure that other countries' financial systems were not used as conduits for terrorist funding.
Sent 13: Attacking the funds of an institution, even the Taliban, was easier than finding and seizing the funds of a clandestine worldwide organization like al Qaeda.
Sent 14: Although the CIA's Bin Laden unit had originally been inspired by the idea of studying terrorist financial links, few personnel assigned to it had any experience in financial investigations.
Sent 15: Any terrorist-financing intelligence appeared to have been collected collaterally, as a consequence of gathering other intelligence.
Sent 16: This attitude may have stemmed in large part from the chief of this unit, who did not believe that simply following the money from point A to point B revealed much about the terrorists' plans and intentions.
Sent 17: As a result, the CIA placed little emphasis on terrorist financing.
Sent 18: Nevertheless, the CIA obtained a general understanding of how al Qaeda raised money.
Question: Why was it easier to attack the funds of an institution, even the Taliban, than to find and seize the funds of a clandestine worldwide organization like al Qaeda?.
Solution: | It was too expensive to track funds. | 6 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |

Sent 7: The DCI is confirmed by the Senate but is not technically a member of the president's cabinet.
Sent 8: The director's power under federal law over the loose, confederated "intelligence community" is limited.
Sent 9: He or she states the community's priorities and coordinates development of intelligence agency budget requests for submission to Congress.
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: How can the military benefit from the existence of the CIA?.
Output: They can use them.

Sent 7: Boiling water was a difficulty--milk, cider, good bread and butter, cheese we could always find--sometimes a galette, but a kettle and boiling water were entirely out of their habits.
Sent 8: They used to boil the water in a large black pot, and take it out with a big spoon.
Sent 9: However, it amused us, and the water really did boil.
Question: The big Norman posters are in demand in the back of which country?.

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: What is the style of the interior cathedral and why is there a problem with the choir?.
