Input: Passage: Madonna released the Material Girl clothing line, which she designed with her daughter, Lourdes. The 1980s inspired clothing line, borrowed from Madonna's punk-girl style when she rose to fame in the 1980s, was released under the Macy's label. Madonna also opened a series of fitness centers around the world named Hard Candy Fitness. In November 2011, Madonna and MG Icon announced the release of a second fashion brand called Truth or Dare by Madonna to include footwear, underclothing, and accessories. She also directed her second feature film, W.E., a biographic about the affair between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson; it was co-written with Alek Keshishian. Critical and commercial response to the film was negative. Madonna contributed the ballad "Masterpiece" for the film's soundtrack, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Question: Material Girl clothing line is released under which brand?

Output: True

Explanation: The answer to given question is 'Macy's', which can be determined from the second sentence of the paragraph "The 1980s inspired clothing line, borrowed from Madonna's punk-girl style when she rose to fame in the 1980s, was released under the Macy's label".

Input: Passage: In 1919 Father James Burns became president of Notre Dame, and in three years he produced an academic revolution that brought the school up to national standards by adopting the elective system and moving away from the university's traditional scholastic and classical emphasis. By contrast, the Jesuit colleges, bastions of academic conservatism, were reluctant to move to a system of electives. Their graduates were shut out of Harvard Law School for that reason. Notre Dame continued to grow over the years, adding more colleges, programs, and sports teams. By 1921, with the addition of the College of Commerce, Notre Dame had grown from a small college to a university with five colleges and a professional law school. The university continued to expand and add new residence halls and buildings with each subsequent president. Question: Over how many years did the change to national standards undertaken at Notre Dame in the early 20th century take place?

Output: True

Explanation: The answer to given question is 'three years', which can be determined from the first sentence of the paragraph "In 1919 Father James Burns became president of Notre Dame, and in three years he produced an academic revolution that brought the school up to national standards by adopting the elective system and moving away from the university's traditional scholastic and classical emphasis". Since this question is answerable, the output is True.

Input: Passage: Exceptions to the restrictions faced by Windows Store apps are given to web browsers. The user's default browser can distribute a Metro-style web browser in same package as the desktop version, which has access to functionality unavailable to other apps, such as being able to permanently run in the background, use multiple background processes, and use Windows API code instead of WinRT (allowing for code to be re-used with the desktop version, while still taking advantage of features available to Windows Store apps, such as charms). Microsoft advertises this exception privilege "New experience enabled" (formerly "Metro-style enabled"). Question: What term did Microsoft give to its exception privilige for file browsing?

Output: False

Explanation: The passage talks about exception privilege given with respect to the entity 'web browser'. Whereas in question, this entity is replaced with 'file browser', which makes it unanswerable from the passage. Therefore, the answer is False.

Input: Passage: The descendants of Rollo's Vikings and their Frankish wives would replace the Norse religion and Old Norse language with Catholicism (Christianity) and the Gallo-Romance language of the local people, blending their maternal Frankish heritage with Old Norse traditions and customs to synthesize a unique "Norman" culture in the north of France. The Norman language was forged by the adoption of the indigenous langue d'oïl branch of Romance by a Norse-speaking ruling class, and it developed into the regional language that survives today. Question: What was replaced with the Norse religion?

Output: False

Explanation: In the passage, it is mentioned that Norse religion was replaced with Catholicism. Whereas, question asks about the entity which was replaced by Norse religion. No such information is provided in the passage which makes this question unanswerable from the passage hence output is False.

Input: Passage: St. Anselm's approach was to define God as, "that than which nothing greater can be conceived". Famed pantheist philosopher Baruch Spinoza would later carry this idea to its extreme: "By God I understand a being absolutely infinite, i.e., a substance consisting of infinite attributes, of which each one expresses an eternal and infinite essence." For Spinoza, the whole of the natural universe is made of one substance, God, or its equivalent, Nature. His proof for the existence of God was a variation of the Ontological argument. Question: What does St. Anselm used to prove God's existence?

Output: False

Explanation: The passage mentions about St. Anselm's definition of God and Spinoza's proof for the existence of God. Whereas, the question asks about proof given by St. Anselm's, which cannot be concluded from the paragraph. Hence, the quesiton is unanswerable and output is False.

Input: Passage: The pound-force has a metric counterpart, less commonly used than the newton: the kilogram-force (kgf) (sometimes kilopond), is the force exerted by standard gravity on one kilogram of mass. The kilogram-force leads to an alternate, but rarely used unit of mass: the metric slug (sometimes mug or hyl) is that mass that accelerates at 1 m·s−2 when subjected to a force of 1 kgf. The kilogram-force is not a part of the modern SI system, and is generally deprecated; however it still sees use for some purposes as expressing aircraft weight, jet thrust, bicycle spoke tension, torque wrench settings and engine output torque. Other arcane units of force include the sthène, which is equivalent to 1000 N, and the kip, which is equivalent to 1000 lbf. Question: What seldom used term of a unit of force equal to 1000 pound s of force?

Output: kip

Explanation: The output of this task must be True or False. In this task, you do not have to answer the question. Instead, you have to determine whether or not the question is answerable given a passage.

Input: Passage: Exceptions to the restrictions faced by Windows Store apps are given to web browsers.

Microsoft advertises this exception privilege "New experience enabled" (formerly "Metro-style enabled"). Question: What term did Microsoft give to its exception privilige for file browsing?

Output: False

Explanation: The passage talks about "New experience enabled" exception privilege for web browser. Whereas in question, this entity is replaced with 'file browser', which makes it unanswerable from the passage. Therefore, the answer should be False.

Input: Passage: In addition to a spoken standard and a closely related written standard, Czech has several regional dialects primarily used in rural areas by speakers less proficient in other dialects or standard Czech. During the second half of the twentieth century, Czech dialect use began to weaken. By the early 1990s dialect use was stigmatized, associated with the shrinking lower class and used in literature or other media for comedic effect. Increased travel and media availability to dialect-speaking populations has encouraged them to shift to (or add to their own dialect) standard Czech. Although Czech has received considerable scholarly interest for a Slavic language, this interest has focused primarily on modern standard Czech and ancient texts rather than dialects. Standard Czech is still the norm for politicians, businesspeople and other Czechs in formal situations, but Common Czech is gaining ground in journalism and the mass media. Question: How many regional dialects does Czech have?

Output: True

Explanation: The answer to given question is 'several', which can be determined from the first sentence of the paragraph "In addition to a spoken standard and a closely related written standard, Czech has several regional dialects primarily used in rural areas by speakers less proficient in other dialects or standard Czech". Since this question is answerable, the output must be True.

Input: Passage: In Japan, at the end of the Asuka period (538–710) and the early Nara period (710–794), the men who fulfilled roles similar to those of modern pharmacists were highly respected. The place of pharmacists in society was expressly defined in the Taihō Code (701) and re-stated in the Yōrō Code (718). Ranked positions in the pre-Heian Imperial court were established; and this organizational structure remained largely intact until the Meiji Restoration (1868). In this highly stable hierarchy, the pharmacists—and even pharmacist assistants—were assigned status superior to all others in health-related fields such as physicians and acupuncturists. In the Imperial household, the pharmacist was even ranked above the two personal physicians of the Emperor. Question: Which two codes were the roles of pharmacists destroyed?

Output: False

Passage: In 1891 Scottish chemist James Dewar was able to produce enough liquid oxygen to study. The first commercially viable process for producing liquid oxygen was independently developed in 1895 by German engineer Carl von Linde and British engineer William Hampson. Both men lowered the temperature of air until it liquefied and then distilled the component gases by boiling them off one at a time and capturing them. Later, in 1901, oxyacetylene welding was demonstrated for the first time by burning a mixture of acetylene and compressed O
2. This method of welding and cutting metal later became common. Question: When was liquid oxygen developed for commercial use?

Output: True

Input: Passage: In addition to a spoken standard and a closely related written standard, Czech has several regional dialects primarily used in rural areas by speakers less proficient in other dialects or standard Czech. During the second half of the twentieth century, Czech dialect use began to weaken. By the early 1990s dialect use was stigmatized, associated with the shrinking lower class and used in literature or other media for comedic effect. Increased travel and media availability to dialect-speaking populations has encouraged them to shift to (or add to their own dialect) standard Czech. Although Czech has received considerable scholarly interest for a Slavic language, this interest has focused primarily on modern standard Czech and ancient texts rather than dialects. Standard Czech is still the norm for politicians, businesspeople and other Czechs in formal situations, but Common Czech is gaining ground in journalism and the mass media. Question: How many regional dialects does Czech have?

Output: True

Input: Passage: First, if a Directive's deadline for implementation is not met, the member state cannot enforce conflicting laws, and a citizen may rely on the Directive in such an action (so called "vertical" direct effect). So, in Pubblico Ministero v Ratti because the Italian government had failed to implement a Directive 73/173/EEC on packaging and labelling solvents by the deadline, it was estopped from enforcing a conflicting national law from 1963 against Mr Ratti's solvent and varnish business. A member state could "not rely, as against individuals, on its own failure to perform the obligations which the Directive entails." Second, a citizen or company can invoke a Directive, not just in a dispute with a public authority, but in a dispute with another citizen or company. So, in CIA Security v Signalson and Securitel the Court of Justice held that a business called CIA Security could defend itself from allegations by competitors that it had not complied with a Belgian decree from 1991 about alarm systems, on the basis that it had not been notified to the Commission as a Directive required. Third, if a Directive gives expression to a "general principle" of EU law, it can be invoked between private non-state parties before its deadline for implementation. This follows from Kücükdeveci v Swedex GmbH & Co KG where the German Civil Code §622 stated that the years people worked under the age of 25 would not count towards the increasing statutory notice before dismissal. Ms Kücükdeveci worked for 10 years, from age 18 to 28, for Swedex GmbH & Co KG before her dismissal. She claimed that the law not counting her years under age 25 was unlawful age discrimination under the Employment Equality Framework Directive. The Court of Justice held that the Directive could be relied on by her because equality was also a general principle of EU law. Third, if the defendant is an emanation of the state, even if not central government, it can still be bound by Directives. In Foster v British Gas plc the Court of Justice held that Mrs Foster was entitled to bring a sex discrimination claim against her employer, British Gas plc, which made women retire at age 60 and men at 65, if (1) pursuant to a state measure, (2) it provided a public service, and (3) had special powers. This could also be true if the enterprise is privatised, as it was held with a water company that was responsible for basic water provision. Question: How long did Ms Kucukdeveci work for Swedex Gmbh & Co KG before she was dismissed?

Output: True

Explanation: Commonsense Reasoning -> Social Situations

In this task, you are given a hypothesis and an update. The hypothesis sentence is a statement that speaks of a socially normative behavior. In other words, it is a generalizing statement about how we expect people to behave in society. The update provides additional contexts about the situation that might UNDERMINE or SUPPORT the generalization. An undermining context provides a situation that weakens the hypothesis. A supporting context provides a situation that strengthens the generalization. Your task is to output 'strengthener' or 'weakener' if the update supports or undermines the hypothesis, respectively

Member States, acting in accordance with the provisions hereinafter laid down, shall adopt the following transitional measures in respect of establishment or provision of services in their territories by natural persons or companies or firms covered by Title I of the General Programmes wishing to engage in activities in wholesale trade or as intermediaries in commerce, industry and small craft industries.2. The activities in question are those covered by the Council Directive of 25 February 1964 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities in wholesale trade and by the Council Directive of 25 February 1964 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of intermediaries in commerce, industry and small craft industries. Where, in a Member State, the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) is dependent on the possession of general commercial or professional knowledge, that Member State shall accept as sufficient evidence of such knowledge the fact that the activity in question has been pursued in another Member State for a period of three consecutive years either in an independent capacity or in a managerial capacity, on condition that such activity shall not have ceased more than two years before the date when the application provided for in Article 4 (2) is made. 1. Where, in a Member State, the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) is not subject to the possession of general, commercial, or professional knowledge, and where that State faces serious and damaging consequences as a result of the application of the Council Directive referred to in Article 1 (2), that Member State may request from the Commission authorisation, for a limited period and in respect of one or more specified activities, to require from nationals of other Member States who wish to pursue those activities in its territory proof that they possess the qualifications required for the pursuit of such activities, either in an independent capacity or in a managerial capacity, in the country whence they come.Use shall not be made of this power in respect of a person who comes from a country which does not make the taking up of the activity in question subject to proof of particular knowledge, or in respect of a person who has lived in the host country for at least five years.2. On receipt of a request from the Member State concerned stating the reasons on which it is based, the Commission shall forthwith specify the conditions on which the authorisation provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article will be granted and lay down detailed rules concerning its implementation. 1. A person shall be regarded as having pursued an activity in a managerial capacity within the meaning of Articles 2 and 3 if he has pursued such activity in an industrial or commercial undertaking in the field in question:    (a) as manager of an undertaking or manager of a branch of an undertaking ; or(b) as deputy to the proprietor or to the manager of an undertaking, where such post involves responsibility equivalent to that of the proprietor or manager represented.2. Proof that the conditions laid down in Article 2 or in Article 3 (1) are satisfied shall be established by certificates issued by the competent authority or body in the country whence the person concerned comes, which such person shall submit in support of his application for authorisation to pursue the activity or activities in question in the host country.3. Member States shall, within the time limit laid down in Article 6, designate the authorities and bodies competent to issue these certificates and shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof. The provisions of this Directive shall remain applicable until the entry into force of provisions relating to the co-ordination of national rules concerning the taking up and pursuit of the activities in question. Member States shall adopt the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

Input: The specific criteria of purity referred to in Article 7 (b) of the Directive of 5 November 1963 are given in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall so amend their laws in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 that by 1 June 1966 the new measures apply to preservatives placed on the market. This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Output: Addressing the member states

Explanation: The information about the directive is more important than on whom it is being addressed to. Hence the suitable title would be Council Directive laying down new measures for preservatives.

Input: 1. The Commission shall determine a world market price for colza and rape seeds and a world market price for sunflower seeds at regular intervals.2. When the world market price is being determined, the Commission shall take into account all offers made on the world market of which it has been informed by the Member States or which are known to it through its own inquiries, and prices quoted on those exchanges which are important for international trade.3. The Commission shall determine this price on the basis of the most favourable actual purchasing opportunities, excluding offers and quotations,  (1) OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66.  (a) which do not relate to shipments to be effected within a given period, which has not yet been fixed, after the date on which the world market price is determined,(b) which cannot be regarded as representative of the actual market trend. Where no offer or quotation can be used as a basis for determining the world market price for a type of seed, the Commission shall determine this price on the basis of the value of average quantities of oil and oil-cake resulting from the processing of 100 kilogrammes of this type of seed in the Community less an amount corresponding to the cost of processing these seeds into oil and oil-cake. Where no offer or quotation can be used as a basis for determining the world market price for a type of seed and further, where it is impossible to establish the value of the oil-cake or oil processed from such seeds, the world market price shall be determined on the basis of the last recorded value for the oil or oil-cake, adjusted to take account of the trend of world prices for competing products in accordance with Article 2. For the purpose of determining the prices referred to in Article 1, the Community frontier crossing point shall be Rotterdam. The Commission shall determine the world market price for seeds of the standard quality for which the target price has been fixed, delivered in bulk at Rotterdam.Where offers and quotations do not fulfil the conditions set out above, the Commission shall make the necessary adjustments. 1. When the world market price for a type of seed is being determined, the price used shall be adjusted by an amount not exceeding the margin between:  - the difference between the price of 100 kilogrammes of colza, rape or sunflower seeds, plus processing costs, and the total of the prices of the quantities of oil and oil-cake resulting from the processing of the type of seed in question and- the difference between the price of 100 kilogrammes of one or more other seeds, plus processing costs, and the total of the prices of the quantities of oil and oil-cake resulting from processing these seeds.2. When the amount referred to in paragraph 1 is being determined, account shall be taken of the incidence of the margin in question (a) on marketing operations of Community traders,(b) on the disposal of the various types of seed on the world market. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Output: Regulation laying down criteria for determining world market prices for oil seeds and fixing the frontier crossing point
