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.

Question: 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: 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.

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 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 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?.

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.

Sent 4: Ferdinand and Isabella were consummate Spaniards, committed to the expansion of the crown.

Paragraph- Sent 1: Madame White Snake: East Asian Femme Fatale of Old The Chinese legend of Madame White Snake, the snake demon that takes human form and becomes the wife of a man, has exerted a lasting influence over East Asian folktales and fiction for centuries.
Sent 2: Two quintessential novellas, "The Lust of the White Serpant" from Ugetsu Monogatari by the Japanese author Ueda Akinari and "Eternal Prisoner under Thunder Peak Pagoda" a traditional Chinese story, are both relatively complex and demonstrate not only the evolution of the White Snake figure to become a more believable human, but also what aspects may have given her enduring appeal.
Sent 3: While both these stories are ostensibly morality tales about the dangerous beauty of this femme fatale, the true source of pleasure from these narratives is the femme fatale's transgressive behavior, not her eventual punishment for it.
Sent 4: Early tales of Madame White Snake appeared in China as early as the Song Dynasty, and initially her portrayal was fairly direct, as a villainous demon who drains the life force out of her human husband.
Sent 5: But over time, characterizations of her became more complex, and the persona of Madame White Snake became more sympathetic, and perhaps even a model of the ideal Confucian wife, particularly in "Pagoda".
Sent 6: Whalen Lai notes, "She was a loving wife, a caring mother, rescuer of her family from the first flood, and, at that point, a general benefactor of man.
Sent 7: She took on the virtues of a traditional Chinese female, particularly forbearance".
Sent 8: But if she were really an ideal wife, why could she not live happily with her human mate?
Sent 9: Her dangerous sexuality is the key.
Sent 10: Femme fatale might seem an unusual term to apply to a character from pre-modern Chinese and Japanese literature who may exemplify the virtues of an ideal Confucian wife, since it is primarily associated with film characters, particularly those of the film noir genre.
Sent 11: But this term, which is relatively speaking, a neologism (The earliest uses were around the beginning of the 20th century.
Question: What are the stories "The Lust of the White Serpant" from Ugetsu Monogatari by the Japanese author Ueda Akinari and "Eternal Prisoner under Thunder Peak Pagoda" a traditional Chinese story, about?.
Ex Output:
| Enduring distraction.

Paragraph- Sent 1: LONDON, England (CNN) -- British filmmaker, screenwriter and playwright, Mike Leigh has been in the movie business for over 35 years.

Sent 9: I don't make a conventional screenplay ... it's a whole organic process.
Sent 10: TSR: What do you think other scriptwriters can learn from you?
Sent 11: ML: I think screenwriters who, because of the politics and economics of the film industry, are forced to work in a much more conventional way, are always fascinated to discuss with me how I work.

Sent 13: That's not what you experience, though.
Question: Is Mike Leigh an actor?.
Actor and writer.

Sent 5: In January 2000, Assistant Secretary of State Karl Inderfurth and the State Department's counterterrorism coordinator, Michael Sheehan, met with General Musharraf in Islamabad, dangling before him the possibility of a presidential visit in March as a reward for Pakistani cooperation.
Sent 6: Such a visit was coveted by Musharraf, partly as a sign of his government's legitimacy.
Sent 7: He told the two envoys that he would meet with Mullah Omar and press him on Bin Laden.

Sent 10: The State Department felt that he should not visit India without also visiting Pakistan.
Sent 11: The Secret Service and the CIA, however, warned in the strongest terms that visiting Pakistan would risk the President's life.
Sent 12: Counterterrorism officials also argued that Pakistan had not done enough to merit a presidential visit.
Sent 13: But President Clinton insisted on including Pakistan in the itinerary for his trip to South Asia.
Sent 14: His one-day stopover on March 25, 2000, was the first time a U.S. president had been there since 1969.
Sent 15: At his meeting with Musharraf and others, President Clinton concentrated on tensions between Pakistan and India and the dangers of nuclear proliferation, but also discussed Bin Laden.
Sent 16: President Clinton told us that when he pulled Musharraf aside for a brief, one-on-one meeting, he pleaded with the general for help regarding Bin Laden."Sent 17: I offered him the moon when I went to see him, in terms of better relations with the United States, if he'd help us get Bin Laden and deal with another issue or two."Sent 18: The U.S. effort continued.

Example Input: 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: Did Kongfuzi (K'ung Fu-tzu) lay great stress on the proper and harmonious relationship between parent and child?.

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 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 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.

Paragraph- Sent 1: After the 1998 embassy bombings, the U.S. government tried to develop a clearer picture of Bin Laden's finances.
Sent 2: A U.S. interagency group traveled to Saudi Arabia twice, in 1999 and 2000, to get information from the Saudis about their understanding of those finances.
Sent 3: The group eventually concluded that the oft-repeated assertion that Bin Laden was funding al Qaeda from his personal fortune was in fact not true.
Sent 4: The officials developed a new theory: al Qaeda was getting its money elsewhere, and the United States needed to focus on other sources of funding, such as charities, wealthy donors, and financial facilitators.
Sent 5: Ultimately, although the intelligence community devoted more resources to the issue and produced somewhat more intelligence, it remained difficult to distinguish al Qaeda's financial transactions among the vast sums moving in the international financial system.
Sent 6: The CIA was not able to find or disrupt al Qaeda's money flows.
Sent 7: The NSC staff thought that one possible solution to these weaknesses in the intelligence community was to create an all-source terrorist-financing intelligence analysis center.

Sent 11: The FBI operated a web of informants, conducted electronic surveillance, and had opened significant investigations in a number of field offices, including New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Diego, and Minneapolis.
Sent 12: On a national level, however, the FBI never used the information to gain a systematic or strategic understanding of the nature and extent of al Qaeda fundraising.
Sent 13: Treasury regulators, as well as U.S. financial institutions, were generally focused on finding and deterring or disrupting the vast flows of U.S. currency generated by drug trafficking and high-level international fraud.
Sent 14: Large-scale scandals, such as the use of the Bank of New York by Russian money launderers to move millions of dollars out of Russia, captured the attention of the Department of the Treasury and of Congress.
Sent 15: Before 9/11, Treasury did not consider terrorist financing important enough to mention in its national strategy for money laundering.
Question: Who were on opposite sides of the idea to create an all-source terrorist-financing intelligence analysis center?.
answer:
Congress.

Now, solve this instance: Paragraph- Sent 1: In many parts of the world, trees lose their leaves in autumn.
Sent 2: The leaves turn color.
Sent 3: Then fall from the trees to the ground.
Sent 4: As the leaves are falling, they have kinetic energy.
Sent 5: While they are still attached to the trees they also have energy.
Sent 6: When they are attached they are not in motion, so how can they have energy?
Sent 7: Instead of kinetic energy, they have stored energy.
Sent 8: This stored energy is called potential energy.
Sent 9: An object has potential energy because of its position.
Sent 10: For example, leaves on trees have potential energy because they could fall.
Sent 11: They fall because of the pull of gravity.
Sent 12: Potential energy can be transferred into motion.
Sent 13: Motion can also be turned back into potential energy.
Sent 14: Objects have potential energy due to their position.
Sent 15: A leaf on a tree branch has potential energy.
Sent 16: The leafs energy can be turned into motion as it falls.
Sent 17: Once the leaf is on the ground, it has no more potential unless it is lifted back up.
Question: How does potential energy exist and change?.
Student: | Potential energy exists of leaves and it changes because of autumn. | 2 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |

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 what county were the statistics of "48% guilty" and "27% dismissed or not guilty" established?.
answer:
| PFA.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: We do not know exactly how the hijackers gained access to the cockpit; FAA rules required that the doors remain closed and locked during flight.
Sent 2: Ong speculated that they had "jammed their way" in.
Sent 3: Perhaps the terrorists stabbed the flight attendants to get a cockpit key, to force one of them to open the cockpit door, or to lure the captain or first officer out of the cockpit.
Sent 4: Or the flight attendants may just have been in their way.
Sent 5: At the same time or shortly thereafter, Atta-the only terrorist on board trained to fly a jet-would have moved to the cockpit from his business-class seat, possibly accompanied by Omari.
Sent 6: As this was happening, passenger Daniel Lewin, who was seated in the row just behind Atta and Omari, was stabbed by one of the hijackers-probably Satam al Suqami, who was seated directly behind Lewin.
Sent 7: Lewin had served four years as an officer in the Israeli military.
Sent 8: He may have made an attempt to stop the hijackers in front of him, not realizing that another was sitting behind him.
Sent 9: The hijackers quickly gained control and sprayed Mace, pepper spray, or some other irritant in the first-class cabin, in order to force the passengers and flight attendants toward the rear of the plane.
Sent 10: They claimed they had a bomb.
Sent 11: About five minutes after the hijacking began, Betty Ong contacted the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office in Cary, North Carolina, via an AT&T airphone to report an emergency aboard the flight.
Sent 12: This was the first of several occasions on 9/11 when flight attendants took action outside the scope of their training, which emphasized that in a hijacking, they were to communicate with the cockpit crew.
Sent 13: The emergency call lasted approximately 25 minutes, as Ong calmly and professionally relayed information about events taking place aboard the airplane to authorities on the ground.
Sent 14: At 8:19, Ong reported:"The cockpit is not answering, somebody's stabbed in business class-and I think there's Mace-that we can't breathe-I don't know, I think we're getting hijacked."Sent 15: She then told of the stabbings of the two flight attendants.
Sent 16: At 8:21, one of the American employees receiving Ong's call in North Carolina, Nydia Gonzalez, alerted the American Airlines operations center in Fort Worth, Texas, reaching Craig Marquis, the manager on duty.
Sent 17: Marquis soon realized this was an emergency and instructed the airline's dispatcher responsible for the flight to contact the cockpit.
Sent 18: At 8:23, the dispatcher tried unsuccessfully to contact the aircraft.
Question: Who likely stabbed the man who served four years in the Israeli military?.

Paragraph- Sent 1: In February 1998, the 40-year-old Saudi exile Usama Bin Laden and a fugitive Egyptian physician, Ayman al Zawahiri, arranged from their Afghan headquarters for an Arabic newspaper in London to publish what they termed a fatwa issued in the name of a "World Islamic Front."Sent 2: A fatwa is normally an interpretation of Islamic law by a respected Islamic authority, but neither Bin Laden, Zawahiri, nor the three others who signed this statement were scholars of Islamic law.
Sent 3: Claiming that America had declared war against God and his messenger, they called for the murder of any American, anywhere on earth, as the "individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it."Sent 4: Three months later, when interviewed in Afghanistan by ABC-TV, Bin Laden enlarged on these themes.
Sent 5: He claimed it was more important for Muslims to kill Americans than to kill other infidels."Sent 6: It is far better for anyone to kill a single American soldier than to squander his efforts on other activities," he said.
Sent 7: Asked whether he approved of terrorism and of attacks on civilians, he replied:"We believe that the worst thieves in the world today and the worst terrorists are the Americans.
Sent 8: Nothing could stop you except perhaps retaliation in kind.
Sent 9: We do not have to differentiate between military or civilian.
Sent 10: As far as we are concerned, they are all targets."Sent 11: Note: Islamic names often do not follow the Western practice of the consistent use of surnames.
Sent 12: Given the variety of names we mention, we chose to refer to individuals by the last word in the names by which they are known: Nawaf al Hazmi as Hazmi, for instance, omitting the article "al" that would be part of their name in their own societies.
Sent 13: We generally make an exception for the more familiar English usage of "Bin" as part of a last name, as in Bin Laden.
Sent 14: Further, there is no universally accepted way to transliterate Arabic words and names into English.
Sent 15: We have relied on a mix of common sense, the sound of the name in Arabic, and common usage in source materials, the press, or government documents.
Sent 16: When we quote from a source document, we use its transliteration, e.g.,"al Qida" instead of al Qaeda.
Sent 17: Though novel for its open endorsement of indiscriminate killing, Bin Laden's 1998 declaration was only the latest in the long series of his public and private calls since 1992 that singled out the United States for attack.
Sent 18: In August 1996, Bin Laden had issued his own self-styled fatwa calling on Muslims to drive American soldiers out of Saudi Arabia.
Question: What did Bin Laden claim in an interview with ABC-TV?.
| Islamic teachings should be followed to the letter of the law.

Sent 2: That includes a $200,000 salary increase for Transocean president and chief executive officer Steven L. Newman, whose base salary will increase from $900,000 to $1.1 million, according to the SEC report.
Sent 3: Newman's bonus was $374,062, the report states.
Sent 4: Newman also has a $5.4 million long-term compensation package the company awarded him upon his appointment as CEO in March 2010, according to the SEC filing.
Sent 5: The latest cash awards are based in part on the company's "performance under safety," the Transocean filing states.
Sent 6: "Notwithstanding the tragic loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico, we achieved an exemplary statistical safety record as measured by our total recordable incident rate and total potential severity rate," the SEC statement reads.
Sent 7: "As measured by these standards, we recorded the best year in safety performance in our Company's history."Sent 8: The company called that record "a reflection on our commitment to achieving an incident-free environment, all the time, everywhere," the SEC filing states.
Sent 9: The company did not respond to an e-mail from CNN seeking comment.
Sent 10: The April 20, 2010, explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig injured 17 workers and killed 11 others, including nine Transocean employees, according to the SEC filing.
Sent 11: It has been called the worst spill in U.S. history.
Sent 12: The well was capped three months later, but not before millions of barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf.

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 4: The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries.
Sent 5: The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated.
Sent 6: Fossils tell an obscure story of man's slow and sporadic development.
Sent 7: Around 3000 b.c.
Sent 8: , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture.
Sent 9: By this time, the valley was in much the same geographic state as it exists in today, with one exception — the presence of artesian springs that bubbled to the surface in several areas.
Sent 10: These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River.
Sent 11: The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife.
Sent 12: Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis.
Sent 13: For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization.
Sent 14: Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d.
Sent 15: , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley.
Sent 16: Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest.
Sent 17: This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife.
Sent 18: Mysteriously, the Anasazi vanished from the valley around a.d.
Question: Why did the prehistoric lake disappear from the Las Vegas Valley?.
[EX A]: | The region was over populated.

Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine died Sunday, her longtime friend Noel Beutel said Monday.
Sent 2: She was 96.
Sent 3: Fontaine died "very peacefully" in her sleep of natural causes, Beutel said.
Sent 4: She was in her Carmel, California, home.
Sent 5: She is survived by her older sister, actress Olivia de Havilland -- with whom she had not spoken for decades.
Sent 6: Fontaine was born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in 1916 in Tokyo, Japan, where her British father was a patent lawyer and teacher.
Sent 7: She and her sister moved to Saratoga, California, with their mother in 1919 when her parents separated.
Sent 8: Fontaine was a teenager when she began her acting career as Joan Burfield in the 1935 film "No More Ladies."Sent 9: She later adopted the stage name Fontaine -- the name of her mother's second husband.
Sent 10: She wrote in her 1978 autobiography, "No Bed of Roses," that her mother, who was an actress, began encouraging the rivalry with her older sister at an early age.
Sent 11: The feud extended to their careers when both sisters were nominated for best actress Oscars in 1942.
Sent 12: Fontaine, who was nominated for Alfred Hitchcock's "Suspicion," beat her sister Olivia de Havilland, who was nominated for "Hold Back the Dawn."Sent 13: De Havilland won the first of her two Oscars in 1947 when she was given the best actress award for "To Each His Own."Sent 14: De Havilland and Fontaine remain the only sisters who have best-actress Academy Awards.
Sent 15: The long-standing feud with de Havilland was at such a peak during one Oscar winners' reunion in 1979 that they had to be seated on opposite ends of the stage.
Sent 16: "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my sister, Joan Fontaine ... and I appreciate the many kind expressions of sympathy that we have received," a statement released by Olivia de Havilland to CNN said.
Question: List 2 of the movies the Fontaine and De Havilland sisters won Oscars for?.

Example Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: In 1863, Alexander II re-convened the Diet of Finland and initiated several reforms increasing Finland's autonomy from Russia including establishment of its own currency, the markka.
Sent 2: Liberation of business led to increased foreign investment and industrial development.
Sent 3: Finland also got its first railways, separately established under Finnish administration.
Sent 4: Finally, the elevation of Finnish from a language of the common people to a national language equal to Swedish opened opportunities for a larger proportion of the society.
Sent 5: Alexander II is still regarded as "The Good Tsar" in Finland.
Sent 6: These reforms could be seen as results of a genuine belief that reforms were easier to test in an underpopulated, homogeneous country, than in the whole of Russia.
Sent 7: They may also be seen as a reward for the loyalty of its relatively western-oriented population during the Crimean War and during the Polish uprising.
Sent 8: Encouraging Finnish nationalism and language can also be seen as an attempt to dilute ties with Sweden.
Question: What are the three ways in which Finnish reform can be seen?.
Example Output: Establishment of its own currency, the markka.

Sent 5: Another of Leigh's calling cards is an unconventional approach to screenwriting.
Sent 6: "The Screening Room" caught up with the veteran director at the International Screenwriters' Festival in the UK earlier this year to ask him more about his approach to making films.

Sent 9: I don't make a conventional screenplay ... it's a whole organic process.
Sent 10: TSR: What do you think other scriptwriters can learn from you?
Sent 11: ML: I think screenwriters who, because of the politics and economics of the film industry, are forced to work in a much more conventional way, are always fascinated to discuss with me how I work.
Sent 12: TSR: There is this romantic idea that screenwriting has to be a painful, solitary experience.
Sent 13: That's not what you experience, though.
Question: Is Mike Leigh an actor?.

[Q]: 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?.
[A]: King Juan Carlos I had isolated Spain, and his death allowed Mallorca and Menorca to see explosions in tourism.

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: We were cornered in a sort of way already.
Sent 2: But these butchers up the cavern had been surprised, they were probably scared, and they had no special weapons, only those little hatchets of theirs.
Sent 3: And that way lay escape.
Sent 4: Their sturdy little forms--ever so much shorter and thicker than the mooncalf herds--were scattered up the slope in a way that was eloquent of indecision.
Sent 5: I had the moral advantage of a mad bull in a street.
Sent 6: But for all that, there seemed a tremendous crowd of them.
Sent 7: Very probably there was.
Sent 8: Those Selenites down the cleft had certainly some infernally long spears.

Sent 11: Heaven alone knew what tremendous engines of warfare--guns, bombs, terrestrial torpedoes--this unknown world below our feet, this vaster world of which we had only pricked the outer cuticle, might not presently send up to our destruction.
Sent 12: It became clear the only thing to do was to charge!
Sent 13: It became clearer as the legs of a number of fresh Selenites appeared running down the cavern towards us.
Question: Where are the Selenites in relation to the narrator?.

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: "Femme" is an apt description of the depiction of Madame White Snake and all her incarnations.
Sent 2: It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness.
Sent 3: In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful.
Sent 4: Toyoo, her human lover in "Lust of the White Serpant" cannot shake the image of her beauty from his mind and dreams of her, and finds himself "disturbed and agitated" by her "ethereal beauty".
Sent 5: In "Eternal Prisoner," Madame White Snake's bewitching beauty follows her lover Hsü into his dreams, and the next morning "he was so distracted that he could not concentrate on doing business." Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction.
Sent 6: In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale.
Sent 7: In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes "Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine's characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not".
Question: What are the names of Madame White's Snake lovers.
[EX A]: Christine.

Sent 2: Soon after moving to Hamburg, Essabar met Binalshibh and the others through a Turkish mosque.
Sent 3: Essabar turned extremist fairly suddenly, probably in 1999, and reportedly pressured one acquaintance with physical force to become more religious, grow a beard, and compel his wife to convert to Islam.
Sent 4: Essabar's parents were said to have made repeated but unsuccessful efforts to sway him from this lifestyle.
Sent 5: Shortly before the 9/11 attacks, he would travel to Afghanistan to communicate the date for the attacks to the al Qaeda leadership.
Sent 6: Mounir el Motassadeq, another Moroccan, came to Germany in 1993, moving to Hamburg two years later to study electrical engineering at theTechnical University.
Sent 7: A witness has recalled Motassadeq saying that he would kill his entire family if his religious beliefs demanded it.
Sent 8: One of Motassadeq's roommates recalls him referring to Hitler as a "good man" and organizing film sessions that included speeches by Bin Laden.
Sent 9: Motassadeq would help conceal the Hamburg group's trip to Afghanistan in late 1999.

Sent 15: 87 When the four core members of the Hamburg cell left Germany to journey to Afghanistan late that year, it seems unlikely that they already knew about the planes operation; no evidence connects them to al Qaeda before that time.
Sent 16: Witnesses have attested, however, that their pronouncements reflected ample predisposition toward taking some action against the United States.
Sent 17: In short, they fit the bill for Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM.
Sent 18: Going to Afghanistan The available evidence indicates that in 1999, Atta, Binalshibh, Shehhi, and Jarrah decided to fight in Chechnya against the Russians.

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 18: The Shang Dynasty gave rise to the concept of one Chinese nation under one government.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: To make certain the U.S. was aware of the danger, in July 1939, a few months before the beginning of World War II in Europe, Szilard and Wigner visited Einstein to explain the possibility of atomic bombs, which Einstein, a pacifist, said he had never considered.
Sent 2: He was asked to lend his support by writing a letter, with Szilard, to President Roosevelt, recommending the U.S. pay attention and engage in its own nuclear weapons research.
Sent 3: A secret German facility, apparently the largest of the Third Reich, covering 75 acres in an underground complex, was being re-excavated in Austria in December 2014 and may have been planned for use in nuclear research and development.
Sent 4: The letter is believed to be "arguably the key stimulus for the U.S. adoption of serious investigations into nuclear weapons on the eve of the U.S. entry into World War II".
Sent 5: In addition to the letter, Einstein used his connections with the Belgian Royal Family and the Belgian queen mother to get access with a personal envoy to the White House's Oval Office.
Sent 6: President Roosevelt could not take the risk of allowing Hitler to possess atomic bombs first.
Sent 7: As a result of Einstein's letter and his meetings with Roosevelt, the U.S. entered the "race" to develop the bomb, drawing on its "immense material, financial, and scientific resources" to initiate the Manhattan Project.
Sent 8: It became the only country to successfully develop an atomic bomb during World War II.
Sent 9: For Einstein, "war was a disease ... [and] he called for resistance to war."Sent 10: By signing the letter to Roosevelt he went against his pacifist principles.
Sent 11: In 1954, a year before his death, Einstein said to his old friend, Linus Pauling, "I made one great mistake in my life--when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification--the danger that the Germans would make them ...".
Question: Who was asked to send a letter to President Roosevelt, recommending the U.S. pay attention and engage in its own nuclear weapons research?.
A: | Wigner.

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 7: Rice, who entered the room shortly after the Vice President and sat next to him, remembered hearing him inform the President, "Sir, the CAPs are up.
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: Where was United 93 presumably headed?.
Oregon.
Paragraph- Sent 1: When Alexander destroyed Tyre, most of the towns on the route to Egypt quickly capitulated.
Sent 2: A later tradition recorded his entry into Jerusalem: according to Josephus, Alexander was shown the Book of Daniel's prophecy, presumably chapter 8, which described a mighty Greek king who would conquer the Persian Empire.
Sent 3: He spared Jerusalem and pushed south into Egypt.
Sent 4: However, Alexander met with resistance at Gaza.
Sent 5: The stronghold was heavily fortified and built on a hill, requiring a siege.
Sent 6: When "his engineers pointed out to him that because of the height of the mound it would be impossible... this encouraged Alexander all the more to make the attempt".
Sent 7: After three unsuccessful assaults, the stronghold fell, but not before Alexander had received a serious shoulder wound.
Sent 8: As in Tyre, men of military age were put to the sword and the women and children were sold into slavery.
Sent 9: Alexander advanced on Egypt in later 332 BC, where he was regarded as a liberator.
Sent 10: He was pronounced son of the deity Amun at the Oracle of Siwa Oasis in the Libyan desert.
Sent 11: Henceforth, Alexander often referred to Zeus-Ammon as his true father, and after his death, currency depicted him adorned with rams horn as a symbol of his divinity.
Sent 12: During his stay in Egypt, he founded Alexandria-by-Egypt, which would become the prosperous capital of the Ptolemaic Kingdom after his death.
Question: What happened to the citizens of Gaza?.
Men and women were killed and children spared.
Paragraph- Sent 1: Einstein was displeased with quantum theory and mechanics (the very theory he helped create), despite its acceptance by other physicists, stating that God "is not playing at dice."Sent 2: Einstein continued to maintain his disbelief in the theory, and attempted unsuccessfully to disprove it until he died at the age of 76.
Sent 3: In 1917, at the height of his work on relativity, Einstein published an article in Physikalische Zeitschrift that proposed the possibility of stimulated emission, the physical process that makes possible the maser and the laser.
Sent 4: This article showed that the statistics of absorption and emission of light would only be consistent with Planck's distribution law if the emission of light into a mode with n photons would be enhanced statistically compared to the emission of light into an empty mode.
Sent 5: This paper was enormously influential in the later development of quantum mechanics, because it was the first paper to show that the statistics of atomic transitions had simple laws.
Sent 6: Einstein discovered Louis de Broglie's work, and supported his ideas, which were received skeptically at first.
Sent 7: In another major paper from this era, Einstein gave a wave equation for de Broglie waves, which Einstein suggested was the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of mechanics.
Sent 8: This paper would inspire Schrodinger's work of 1926.
Question: After discovering Louis de Broglie's work, what did Einstein give for de Broglie waves?.
| Hamilton-Jacobi equation.

Input: Consider Input: 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: What part of Portugal is not representative of the country's "quaint towns, medieval castles, and grand palaces?".
Output: Paris.

Sent 9: The Army began developing the Osprey in 1982, though the program was nearly scrapped in 1989 when then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney sought to cancel it because of ballooning costs.
Sent 10: Questions were raised about the safety of the Osprey after two crashes, including one in 1992 at a Marine Corps air base in Virginia that killed the crew.
Sent 11: In late 2000, the Marine Corps grounded the Osprey fleet after two crashes -- one in Arizona that killed four crew members and 15 passengers, and another in North Carolina that killed the crew.
Sent 12: A redesign was ordered on the Osprey, and it resumed flights in 2002.
Sent 13: The Air Force began using Ospreys in 2008 after testing the aircraft in 2006.
Sent 14: They were first deployed by the Marines in Iraq in 2007 after 18 years and $20 billion in development.

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: Hamilton was the first president of what New York, abolitionist organization?.
Ex Output:
| The underground railroad.

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.

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.
Why? 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.
New input: Paragraph- Sent 1: It's just this hard when I try to answer the question: Why do older Oklahomans need lawyers?
Sent 2: The answers are important enough that they will be a discussion topic of this year's Senior Day at 9 a.m.
Sent 3: March 25 in the House Chamber at the Capitol.
Sent 4: The following is a preview of some of the answers for review: We can all agree that older Oklahomans need medical care.
Sent 5: But even the best care is worthless if an older patient can't drive to the doctor for ongoing treatment because his or her car has been wrongfully seized in a debt dispute.
Sent 6: Therefore, lawyers are part of the prescription for regular medical care for many of the 600,000 Oklahomans age 60 and older.
Sent 7: Another example: if a doctor treats an elderly patient for a lung ailment, the doctor's treatment will be undone and he will see the patient again and again, if the patient is sent home to an unheated apartment.
Sent 8: Lawyers know how to make landlords heat apartments so the medical treatment can stick.
Sent 9: (By the way, a May 16, 2001, article in The New York Times reports on a program at Boston Medical Center providing a walk-in legal clinic in the hospital to help fight their patients' legal and administrative battles.) We also can agree that older Oklahomans - like all citizens - have rights to control their health care until they become incapacitated or these rights are transferred to another by legal document or process.
Sent 10: "Old" is not a legal classification that results in automatic loss of these rights.
Sent 11: Moreover, having an old parent does not automatically confer on children the right to make the parents' health care choices.
Sent 12: It follows that an important role lawyers provide for aging Oklahomans is not only to create rights - transferring documents such as durable powers of attorney and guardianship orders, but also to monitor their use.
Sent 13: In family situations, for example, lawyers must ensure that powers of attorney and guardianships are used to serve only the person transferring or losing rights.
Sent 14: They are not to be used to help a family "manage" their mother or help a doctor or nursing home get permission for a pill or procedure they feel is in the best interest of a patient.
Sent 15: Good news: Oklahoma now has a Public Guardianship Program, albeit unfunded, that will supply lawyers to perform this rights-monitoring process Oklahoma grandparents should be able to enjoy their grandchildren, not raise them.
Sent 16: But owing to the social problems of divorce and drug use, grandparents are increasingly being called on to raise their grandchildren because of missing parents.
Sent 17: Adding to the physical, emotional and financial burden they take on, grandparents face legal problems.
Sent 18: All the decisions parents made without a second thought now require evidence of legal authority when made by grandparents.
Question: Can lawyers help grandparents with guardianship issues?.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Dick was enraged to see how contentedly the men bore the irksome confinement, the meager food, and harsh peremptoriness of the beardless boys set over them as guards.
Sent 2: Most of the prisoners passed the time in cards, playing for buttons, trinkets, or what not that formed their scanty possessions.
Sent 3: Dick learned that all the commissioned officers of the company with Wesley Boone had been wounded or killed in the charge near the stone bridge.
Sent 4: Wesley had been with the prisoners at first.
Sent 5: He had been struck on the head, and was in a raging fever when his father and sister came to the prison to take him away.
Sent 6: No one could tell where he was now, but Dick knew that he must be in the city, since there were no exchanges, the Confederates allowing no one to leave the lines except women with the dead, or those who came from the North on special permits.
Sent 7: Then he visited the provost headquarters, and was shown the complete list of names recorded in the books there; but Barney's was not among them.

Sent 2: A thick red curtain hung over the door, and a cheery log fire burnt in the stove.
Sent 3: A man and woman sat over it; the man, a tall, repulsive-looking creature, with unkempt hair and matted beard, his age apparently about fifty.
Sent 4: The woman looked seventy or more.
Sent 5: She too had once been tall, but now old age gave her a withered, witch-like appearance, in spite of her great height.
Sent 6: She was dressed in limp, faded garments, with a tattered shawl crossed over her chest, and had a scared, miserable look in her bleared old eyes.
Sent 7: There were a few words of explanation from the man who had come home, and then, in gruff but not unkindly tones, he bade Babette be seated, and told his mother to get some supper speedily.
Sent 8: She spread a coarse cloth on the wooden table, and when all was ready, lifted a large black saucepan from the stove and turned out a smoking, savoury-looking stew.
Sent 9: The youngest son produced a bottle containing the thin acid wine of the country, and another of spirits.
Sent 10: As he set them on the table, Babette noticed that across one of his hands, which were much smaller and whiter than those of his brothers, there ran a dull red scar that looked as if he had had a bad cut there.
Sent 11: Then they all sat down, excepting the old mother, who busied herself in waiting on them.
Question: What did the man and the woman sit over?.
SOLUTION: | The log near the stove.

New input case for you: Paragraph- Sent 1: The little party in the cabin, so disastrously begun, finished, under the mellowing influence of wine and woman, in excellent feeling and with some hilarity.
Sent 2: Mamie, in a plush Gainsborough hat and a gown of wine-coloured silk, sat, an apparent queen, among her rude surroundings and companions.
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.

Paragraph- Sent 1: Women and minorities appear to be benefiting from greater employment opportunities in the United States, but discrimination remains a significant problem, according to a study to be released today by two professors at the Rutgers School of Law in Newark.
Sent 2: The study, which extrapolated from federal data on about 200,000 large and midsize employers, concludes that about two million workers were affected by intentional discrimination in 1999.
Sent 3: Roughly a third of the employers studied appeared to have discriminated against women or minorities in at least one job category, the authors said The study was based on information collected from employers by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1990 through 1999 on so-called EEO-1 forms.
Sent 4: The husband-and-wife team of Alfred W. and Ruth G. Blumrosen then looked at how many women or minority workers a company employed in different job categories compared with how many were employed at other companies in the same industry in the same geographic area.
Sent 5: They described a company as an intentional discriminator if its employment of women or minorities was at least two standard deviations from the average.
Sent 6: Legally, companies are presumed to discriminate if their employment numbers are far below the norm.
Sent 7: About 22,000 employers were identified as "hard core" discriminators.
Sent 8: These companies employed below-average numbers of women and minorities for 10 years and their hiring of women or minorities was so far below the averages that there was only one chance in a hundred that the discrimination occurred randomly.
Sent 9: The study also found rising employment for women and minorities, suggesting significant progress in the workplace.
Sent 10: The names of the companies are confidential and were not known to the researchers.
Sent 11: The professors expect to make their study available through a Web site, www.eeo1.com.
Sent 12: The Blumrosens, who were instrumental in setting up the E.E.O.C. in 1965, also say the government should make more active use of their data.
Sent 13: The commission said it did not comment on draft reports.
Question: In what way can one determine what companies are being discriminatory?.
Answer: | If the standard deviation for the data was one from the average. | 8 | NIv2 | task055_multirc_write_incorrect_answer | fs_opt |
