Passage: Omelettes make a great breakfast , and I enjoy making them because they are very easy to cook . First , I get the eggs out and begin cracking them on the side of the bowl and dumping them into the bowl . I normally use two eggs whites and one whole egg to cut the calories . I add some salt and pepper to the mix for flavor . I pour the mixture into the hot frying pan . I make sure that I add some vegetable oil to the pan before I add the eggs though because I do n't want them to stick . As this occurs , I add some cheese or vegetable to the center of the egg mixture . Really , almost any type of cheese or vegetable makes a good omelette . I then flip one side of the omelette over on to itself to seal in the contents in the middle . It is then ready to serve ! Question: How many times is the omelette flipped?

Problem: Passage: Every week I make a shopping list with the intentions of sticking to it and not buying extra things but more importantly , remembering all the things I really need to get . I put a date on the top so I know it is this weeks list and list everything I need to get for that week . Sometimes l list the store next to the item if I need to make a special trip to a special kind of store . I like to group them if they are related or located in a nearby section in the grocery store but it 's generally random as I think about each item . I may draw boxes or line to separate the categories or stores . Generally , I use a weird color ink so I easily recognize that it is my list and it makes shopping errands happen more quickly and efficiently . Question: For groceries, What is random? Option1: What they purchase. Option2: the list of items

We have a friend who comes over and plays every few weeks , and another two here and there much less often . So , we 're typically used to a group size of 3 or 4 players . \ nFor a change of pace , we decided we 're going to host a big game night in a few weeks . Does anyone have any advice on running a bigger event like this ? I 'm guessing we 'll have to run 2 or 3 games at a time , always having someone familiar with each game teaching it to the others . Most of the people will want to play easier games , possibly even a party game like Apples to Apples or Cranium . Others I had in mind include : Bohnanza , Ticket to Ride , I 'm the Boss , Mystery of the Abbey , Shadows Over Camelot , RoboRally , and For Sale . Two groups play a game at the same time , and then the groups split up and start new games . \ nAnyway , we 've never done anything like this before , and we thought maybe some fellow geeks out there would have some good advice .

Input: Consider Input: Passage: Something I have to do every year is pay taxes . One way I pay taxes is through sales tax . Every time you buy something , it adds a little bit of money at the end of the receipt for the government , and this money is called " taxes " ! The sales tax on things changes as you go from state to state , and usually is more in states where things are generally more expensive . Where I live , sales tax is 6.5 % , meaning it will add on 6.5 % of whatever price you are already paying . It is a small amount that not many people notice , but it helps the state government to do a lot of duties to help us out ! These taxes help pay for homeless people to get food stamps , for libraries to stay free , and for people to go to school . Question: What do they all play a part in paying? Option1: bills Option2: Sales taxes to the state government.
| Output: Sales taxes to the state government.

Question: Passage: I have a morning routine that i must do every day . One of the things that i must do as a part of that morning routine is brush my teeth . In order to brush my teeth i must first go into the bathroom and stand in front of the sink . i take the tube of toothpaste out of the cabinet and set it on the side of the sink and then i grab my toothbrush from the holder on the side of the sink . Once i have my toothbrush in hand i then take the cap off of the toothpaste . I set the cap to the side because i am going to run some water over my toothbrush first before i put any paste on it . i turn on the warm water and let it run over the brush for a few seconds just to get it wet . i make sure i turn off the water and then i take the tube of toothpaste and i squeeze it gently and slowly because i do not want to put too much toothpaste on the brush , so i am very careful . Once that is done , i raise the brush up to my mouth , put it inside my mouth and touch it against my top two front teeth . I like to start at the top teeth first so i begin moving the brush back and forth many times . I keep moving the brush against my teeth back and forth faster and faster until the toothpaste gets kind of sudsy or bubbly . It feels tingly . Then i stop for a second and turn the water on again and run just a little more water over my brush before i begin brushing my bottom row of teeth . I brush back and forth but i also start to brush in the back of my mouth also . I make sure that i get the back teeth and the sides real good . I even run the brush over my tongue too . The last thing that i do is fill a small dixie cup with water so that i can rinse off my mouth full of toothpaste . I take that dixie cup of water and drink from it BUT and this is very important , i make certain not to swallow the water . I just swish it around inside of my mouth and gargle with it . i always fill the dixie cup up a second time and gargle again just to make sure i get all the toothpaste out of my mouth . When the water runs clear from me gargling that is how i know that i am done brushing my teeth . Question: What stores the toothpaste? Option1: the sink Option2: cabinet

So the first thing I did was go to the store and buy some flowers in tiny plastic boxes . It would be easier and faster than growing them from seeds . When I got home from the store , I grabbed a gardening shovel and a tiny rake and went out into the yard with my little boxes of flowers . I dug through the soil in my yard with the shovel , making it loose and soft with the tiny rake , too . Then I grabbed the first flower at the base of the stem , right above where it poked out of the dirt in the plastic box , and pulled it very gently . After a minute , the flower and the dirt popped out of the plastic box . I held the flower and its dirt over the hole and used my fingers to loosen up that dirt , too . Then I set it in the hole I 'd dug for it in the ground and carefully covered it with the rest of the dirt - not too much dirt , though , and I was careful not to pack it tight . After I did the same thing to the other eleven flowers , I went back inside and got a watering can . I filled it up with water from the sink and went back outside , where I poured some water over each flower so it could have a nice drink . I had planted flowers , just like in the movie ! Question: When did they have eleven flowers to go? Option1: After they planted the first flower. Option2: When they were at the store.

Let me give you an example: Passage: Omelettes make a great breakfast , and I enjoy making them because they are very easy to cook . First , I get the eggs out and begin cracking them on the side of the bowl and dumping them into the bowl . I normally use two eggs whites and one whole egg to cut the calories . I add some salt and pepper to the mix for flavor . I pour the mixture into the hot frying pan . I make sure that I add some vegetable oil to the pan before I add the eggs though because I do n't want them to stick . As this occurs , I add some cheese or vegetable to the center of the egg mixture . Really , almost any type of cheese or vegetable makes a good omelette . I then flip one side of the omelette over on to itself to seal in the contents in the middle . It is then ready to serve ! Question: How many times is the omelette flipped? Option1: three times Option2: once

So , in the end I go down my list , searching each website for the particular present I 'm after , checking the size and color , and then proceeding to checkout to give them my payment information and shipping address . I check out at last , and then do it all again at another site . Yet it 's still way better than the mall . Question: Where are the gifts they need to buy?

Problem: Passage: I was looking for a job . First , I needed to figure out what sort of jobs I should be looking for . I like drawing , and I like helping people . Well , I could be an art teacher at school , but that would require a degree in education , and I do n't have that . I could teach art at an after school program . That would be only one day a week , for an hour or two after school , which would be good for someone who also has to go to school themselves . I went to the elementary school I used to go to , where there was a program like that , but they told me they 'd cancelled it ! That would n't work , so I went online to look at job advertisements , on a website that lists jobs that are available . I came across several for graphic designers , which are people who do art for advertisements and websites , but they all wanted previous experience in graphic design and a degree , but I 'm a teenager ! I asked around my family for help , and my grandma pointed out that she 'd seen a sign up at the local art supply store saying that they were hiring . I would n't get to draw that much , but I could help people find their art supplies , and that would be fun . They gave me a paper application to fill out , which I did , and gave it back to them . They said they 'd call me and let me know if I 'd get a interview to get the job . While I was waiting for the call , I went to several other art supply store and did the same thing , in case I did n't get the job at the first one . Question: Where did they go to ask about the job?

Problem: Passage: I am currently taking a class about modern film making . As an assignment for the class , the teacher asked us to watch several movies and review them for a future class discussion . I chose several action/adventure movies . As I sat down to watch the movies , I made sure that I was not distracted by other things in the room . I noticed that music was very upbeat and energetic , setting the tone for what was coming up on the screen . Several sections were very loud and the sound editing was a little uneven , with the next sections being overly quiet . This took away from some enjoyment of the movie . The actors selected for the roles were all a great fit for the parts and their interactions with each other were seamless believable . The story line , although science fiction , was very well thought out and concluded with just enough left open at the end to both satisfy the viewer and leave room for a sequel to the movie . I hoped that my findings on the movie would be helpful to my classmates and that I had been successful at achieving what my teacher had set out for the class to discover . Question: What was given to the movie? Option1: their full attention Option2: their money

I add some salt and pepper to the mix for flavor . I pour the mixture into the hot frying pan . I make sure that I add some vegetable oil to the pan before I add the eggs though because I do n't want them to stick . As this occurs , I add some cheese or vegetable to the center of the egg mixture . Really , almost any type of cheese or vegetable makes a good omelette . I then flip one side of the omelette over on to itself to seal in the contents in the middle . It is then ready to serve ! Question: How many times is the omelette flipped?

Question: Passage: I have relatives that live very far away from where I do , and unfortunately they do n't have access to the same technologies as me , so I ca n't communicate with them over the Internet . For some time , we 've had to do it the old-fashioned way - by writing letters to each other .

I would write for a few minutes , usually talking about things that my family recently did , and asking them how they 've been doing . If possible , I would even attach pictures to the letter , so they could see what we 've been up to . The next morning , I 'd drop it in my mailbox for the postman to pick it up and take it to the post office . Usually , they would write back within a week responding to my letter . Question: What did they write? Option1: an email Option2: a letter

Question: Passage: Yesterday , I went outside to mow the lawn . I first went to the shed where I keep the mower . I opened the door to the shed and got the gasoline can that was in there . To start the mower , I pulled on the cord . I pulled the cord once , twice and then on the third pull the mower started and I was able to begin to mow the lawn . I went back and forth across the lawn in rows . I did this many times .
