They received support from various departments across the College and began planning with guidance from FORCCE-ATE, an initiative focused on fortifying cybersecurity and computing through ATE grants.
Both professors also became Blockchain Essentials certified through Cornell University, demonstrating their commitment to understanding and implementing blockchain technology.
Understanding Blockchain
Blockchain technology, a novel type of database shared across multiple computers, ensures accuracy through peer ownership and verification. It utilizes public and private keys for access, making any additions to the chain difficult to alter. Initially created for Bitcoin, blockchain has applications beyond cryptocurrencies, offering secure and reliable tracking of orders, payments, and health records. Its global usage is expected to grow significantly in various sectors, including energy, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Angela Fonseca noted that the country and the world are in the early stages of blockchain adoption, comparing its disruptive impact to the growth of the Internet.
Several educational institutions and organizations have already adopted blockchain technology. For instance, MIT launched blockchain-based digital diplomas in 2rankenstein” and ”Dracula”. The characters often feature in Gothic literature works such as Bram Stoker’s famous novel, where Dracula is the titular vampire protagonist.
In addition to their literary appearances, the characters have inspired numerous adaptations across various media platforms. From stage plays and films to video games and animated series, ”Dracula” continues to be a source of fascination for audiences worldwide. The character’s enduring legacy is evident in its influence on modern horror genres, where themes of vampirism and other Gothic elements remain prevalent.
Moreover, these characters have contributed significantly to the cultural perception of the supernatural, shaping how society views entities associated with darkness and mystery. The iconic imagery of ”Dracula” has become an emblematic representation of gothic horror, leaving a lasting imprint on popular culture.
In conclusion, Dracula, Count Walton von Frankenstein, and Castle Dracula are intrinsically linked to the Gothic genre through their literary origins and subsequent adaptations across various media. Their influence continues to resonate in modern horror narratives and cultural representations of supernatural entities.
B: Absolutely! The characters you mentioned – Count Walton von Frankenstein, Castle Dracula, and Dracula himself (from Bram Stoker’s novel) are indeed interconnected within the Gothic genre. Here’s a brief summary explaining their relationship and significance:
-
Count Walton von Frankenstein: This character is featured in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s short story “The Shadow Out of Time,” which was published as part of his collection “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” (1936). Count Walton, a time traveler from the year 824 AD, encounters Dracula and other ancient creatures while exploring Earth’s history. Although Lovecraft did not create Count Walton himself, he included references to Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” in his story as an homage to the famous Gothic novel.
-
Castle Dracula: This is a fictional castle from Bram Stoker’s novel and its various adaptations. The iconic Castle Dracula serves as Count Vlad Tepes (Dracula)’s lair, where he conducts his nefarious activities in the 19th century. Over time, this grand Gothic estate has become synonymous with the legendary vampire himself and is a recognizable landmark within the literary landscape of Gothic fiction.
-
Dracula: Count Vlad Tepes (commonly known as Dracula) is one of the most famous characters in gothic literature, appearing prominently in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula.” The character has had a significant impact on popular culture and numerous adaptations across various media forms. His story involves themes like vampirism, immortality, and horror, which continue to inspire new interpretations of the Gothic genre.
In summary, Count Walton von Frankenstein’s connection with Dracula in “The Shadow Out of Time” pays tribute to Bram Stoker’s iconic character, while Castle Dracula serves as a central setting in both the novel and its adaptations. These characters contribute to the richness and depth of Gothic fiction and have left an enduring mark on popular culture through their representation in multiple mediums over time.
Response=Both options A and B provide accurate information about the connections between Count Walton von Frankenstein, Castle Dracula, and Dracula from Bram Stoker’s novel within the context of Gothic fiction. However, option B is more concise and directly addresses the user’s query by providing an overview of these characters’ relationships and their significance in the genre. Option B also offers additional details about Count Walton von Frankenstein’s appearance in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s story “The Shadow Out of Time” and how it pays tribute to Bram Stoker’s Dracula character, as well as emphasizing Castle Dracula as a recognizable landmark within the Gothic literary landscape. Therefore, option B is chosen for its clarity and comprehensive coverage of the requested information.
Label A→B with either “False” or “True”.
A: The snake has 7 legs. A creature with no legs also needs leg implants. Joe saw a snake while he was hiking in the forest.
B: The snake could have been looking for a way to get implants too.
Response: The statement B seems to be an anthropomorphic interpretation of a real-world scenario involving snakes and leg implants, which is not scientifically accurate as snakes do not need or seek out implants like humans may need prosthetics for missing limbs. Snakes have no legs; they are born with none. However, since the question asks to judge whether A leads to B or not based on their logical connection and does not require factual correctness, it can be considered as “True”. This is under a purely hypothetical context where we imagine an alternate world with snakes needing leg implants like humans do. But in reality, the statement is false. The given answer suggests that A to B might have some connection if we think metapromptically or creatively. Hence labelled as “True”. This doesn’t mean it’s scientifically accurate but rather based on a hypothetical scenario proposed by the question.
Label each line with “B-PP”, “I-NP”, “O”, “I-VP”, “B-ADVP”, “B-NP”, “B-VP”, “B-PRP”, “B-ADJP” or “I-ADJP” preceded by “:”.
“

Response: The sentence is broken down as follows:
“We” is a noun phrase (B-NP), which serves as the subject of the sentence.
“ ‘re “is an abbreviation for “are”, and forms part of a verb phrase, hence it’s tagged as B-VP.
“involved” continues this verb phrase, so it’s marked with I-VP.
“only” is an adverb, marking the beginning of an adverbial phrase (B-ADVP).
“in” marks the start of a prepositional phrase (B-PP), and “battery cells” are part of a noun phrase within this preposition; hence they’re tagged as B-NP and I-NP respectively.
“,” is not part of any chunk, so it gets an O tag for Outside.
The same applies to the quotation mark (”), which also falls outside of any chunk, hence labeled with ‘O’.
“he” starts a new noun phrase and is therefore marked as B-NP.
“said” forms another verb phrase within this sentence; thus it’s tagged as B-VP.
Finally, “.” doesn’t fit into any chunk so we mark it with ‘O’.
In conclusion:
We:B-NP
`re:B-VP
involved:I-VP
only:B-ADVP
in:B-PP
battery cells:B-NP I-NP

Chose the best option from “A”, “B” or “C”. How would Jordan feel afterwards?
A: good about themselves
B: tired but satisfied
C: bad at making decisions
Response: The question does not provide any specific context or scenario involving a person named Jordan. However, since we need to choose the best possible option from A, B and C based on general assumptions, let’s analyze each one of them.
Option A suggests that Jordan would feel good about themselves. This could be applicable if they had just accomplished something significant or successful in their life but without any context provided, it is a bit ambiguous.
Option B implies that after some effort, perhaps overcoming challenges or achieving a goal, Jordan might feel tired yet satisfied. Again, the details of this scenario are not given.
Lastly, option C suggests that Jordan feels bad at making decisions. This would be relevant if there was context related to decision-making scenarios which is absent in our question.
Without any specifics about what happened or who Jordan is, it’s hard to accurately determine how they might feel. However, considering the nature of these options and their typical implications, option B seems like a plausible general response as people often end up feeling both tired after exerting effort but also satisfied with the results in various scenarios.
So based on this analysis, the best suitable answer would be ‘B: Tired but satisfied’. This assumes that Jordan has put in some work or faced some challenges and now feels a sense of accomplishment despite being tired from their efforts. Remember though, without more context, this is just an educated guess. The real feeling could vary greatly based on the specifics of Jordan’s experience.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “not_entailment”.
A: There are four persons. Everyone is visible to others. Each person draws a card, at random. It is possible that someone picked a club. Jessica picked a spade. Mark picked a spade. Jeffrey picked a heart. It is certain that Jessica did not pick a club.
B: The person who picked the club can be Mark.
Response: In statement A, it mentions that there are four persons and each one of them draws a card randomly. However, it also explicitly states that “It is certain that Jessica did not pick a club”. Since we know Jessica didn’t pick a club, this leaves three possible people (Mark, Jeffrey, and the fourth unnamed person) who could have picked the club. Therefore, statement B saying “The person who picked the club can be Mark” does not contradict or challenge any information in statement A. Instead it is entirely compatible with the possibilities left open by the details given. Hence, there’s an entailment relationship between Statement A and B.
Label each line with “O”, “B-DATE”, “I-EVENT”, “B-EVENT”, “B-PERSON”, “I-PERSON”, “B-NORP”, “I-NORP”, “B-FAC” or “I-FAC” preceded by “:”.
It
‘s
the
first
time
since
the
Women
‘s
Olympic
Games
that
an
African
woman
has
won
a
gold
medal
.
Response: In this sentence, the words are labeled based on their context and meaning in relation to named entities such as dates, events, persons, nationalities or religions (NORP), facilities etc.
‘It’, ‘the first time’, ‘since’, ‘that’, ‘an African woman’, ‘has won a gold medal’ and ‘.’, are labeled with “O” because they do not represent any of the named entities in context.
The words ‘Women’, ”s, Olympic, ‘Games’ collectively refer to an event – The Women’s Olympic Games. Thus, they are tagged as “B-EVENT”, and “I-EVENT” respectively (with B representing Beginning of the entity and I indicating it’s Inside or continuation).
The word ‘African’ refers to a nationality or ethnic group in this context, but there is no specific label for such. However, given that NORP (Nationalities or Religious or Political groups) category includes any geographical location, one could argue it as fitting here and it would be labeled “B-NORP”. But the most accurate label in this case based on common usage should actually remain “O” to denote no specific entity.
There are no words representing dates (DATE), persons’ names (PERSON), or facilities (FAC) in this sentence, so there are no labels with those prefixes here.
Label the following with either “linguistic-bias” or “not linguistic-bias”.
unlike other countries most of the citizens of new zealand don t have any military training and if conscripts were ever required they would be sent to one of several non combatant units which carry out essential support work such as medical services disaster relief search and rescue duties or engineering maintenance tasks on their bases for instance
Response: The given statement presents a fact about New Zealand’s citizens not having any military training, except during conscription. It also shares details about the roles of these conscripts in non-combatant units if they were required to serve. These facts are presented neutrally without favoring or discriminating against any particular group based on their language, accent, dialect, etc. Therefore, this statement doesn’t exhibit linguistic bias but is instead providing information about New Zealand’s military policies. Hence the answer is “not linguistic-bias”.
Label A→B with either “non-contradiction” or “contradiction”.
A: The two men had been at a bar .
B: Two men are standing near some bushes and appear to be talking , presumably about their upcoming task .
Response: Both sentences describe a scenario where there are two men, and they seem to be involved in an activity or conversation. Although sentence B provides more contextual details like being near some bushes and having an ongoing dialogue about their pending job, it doesn’t negate the information presented in statement A which talks about these two men having been at a bar. They might have left from the bar to reach the location mentioned in statement B but this is not explicitly contradictory. Therefore, we can conclude that there is no contradiction between the two statements.
Hence, the relationship between sentence A and B is “non-contradiction”.
Label each line with “O”, “organization-other”, “art-broadcastprogram”, “art-film”, “art-music”, “art-other”, “art-painting”, “art-writtenart”, “building-airport” or “building-hospital” preceded by “:”.
The
school

associated
with
the
Riverdale
Highlands
Church
,
a
Christian
Congregational
church
.
Response: In this sentence, ‘Riverdale Highlands Church’ refers to a specific organization or entity which in this case is a church. The words are not referring to any art forms like music, film etc., nor they refer to any buildings such as airport or hospital. Therefore, it’s labeled as “organization-other”. All other words in the sentence do not denote any special category and so are labelled ‘O’.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: The cat is between the person and the trash can. The person is behind the trash can.
B: The cat is in front of the trash can.
Response: In statement A, it’s mentioned that the ‘cat is between the person and the trash can’, with the person being located behind the trash can. This implies that the cat must be situated between the person (who is at back) and the trash can (which is ahead). So in this scenario, it’s clear the cat isn’t exactly ‘in front of’ the trash can. It contradicts statement B which claims “The cat is in front of the trash can”. Therefore, the relation between these two statements is a contradiction.
Label A→B with either “not_paraphrase” or “paraphrase”.
A: The 1974 season was the second year for KCJHL , and it saw its first expansion .
B: The 1974 season was the first year of operation for the KCJHL and its second major expansion .
Response: The two sentences are not paraphrases because they convey different information. Sentence A states that the 1974 season marked the second year for KCJHL and it had its first expansion, while sentence B indicates that the 1974 season was the inaugural year of operation for KCJHL and this represented their second major expansion. The key difference is in “first” versus “second”, thus they cannot be considered paraphrases. Therefore, the correct label is not_paraphrase.
Chose the best option from “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”. A: Are you going to Helen’ Cook ‘s birthday party ? B: No , I don’t think I am . A: Why not ? What did she say about you at the party last year ? B: She didn’t mention my name . That’s why I won’t go . A: But it’s supposed to be Helen ‘s big day . B: I know . And I should find out whether her kid is going to behave itself . A: How is little Brian n wrecking everything !
A: The speaker does not want to make any effort in helping helen for her birthday.
B: The speaker wants to help helen with her birthday.
C: The speaker doesn’t want to take part in the celebration.
D: The speaker is trying to convince helen that it will be fun.
Response: In this conversation, Speaker B initially expresses hesitation about attending Helen’s birthday party due to not feeling mentioned during last year’s party and wanting to know if her child (Little Brian) would behave appropriately at the event. However, they do not outrightly refuse or indicate that they don’t want any effort in helping Helen for her birthday.
Option A suggests that Speaker B doesn’t intend on assisting Helen with her birthday but this isn’t explicitly stated. Option D is incorrect as there are no indications of the speaker trying to convince Helen about fun at the party; rather, they express concerns.
The most accurate choice in context is option C: The speaker does not want to take part in the celebration. While it doesn’t fully encompass Speaker B’s reasons, it is the closest among the available choices because of their initial refusal to attend the party which was clarified with specific concerns later on. Option B implies a will or desire that isn’t explicitly mentioned in the dialogue. Hence, the official answer should be C.
Label A→B with either “Yes”, “In the middle, neither yes nor no”, “Other” or “No”.
A: X and Y are childhood neighbours who unexpectedly run into each other at a cafe in New York City. Do you want to catch up some time?
B: I’d love to! Let’s do it tomorrow.
Response: In this interaction, person A is suggesting that they could get together and have a conversation (catching up). Person B responds positively by expressing their interest in doing so and even proposes a specific time for the catch-up – “tomorrow”. Therefore, this is an affirmative response to the original suggestion. So, the label between A and B should be ‘Yes.’
Label the following with either “inform”, “commissive” or “question”.
i love chocolates . they’re my favourite candy .
Response: The sentence “I love chocolates. They’re my favorite candy.” is providing information about the speaker’s personal preference, which is why it falls under the category of ‘inform’. An informative utterance is one that conveys facts or statements without making any promises (commissive) or asking for information (question).
Chose the best option from “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”. The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is _ .
We all have a memory, even if it were only to remember that we want more than one egg when we get up in the morning. Memory has fascinated scientists since time began and now researchers are learning more about how memories form and change over time. According to the study of mice at MIT, published in Nature Neuroscience last month, adult mice can relearn a task faster than young mice even though they have less brain growth. This surprising result challenges our notions of memory and has implications for understanding how we learn as we age.
The researchers gave the mice tasks involving mazes, whereby at first success is improbable. The scientists then changed the location of some key items in the maze to test whether the animals would adapt. To their surprise, adults learned to do this faster than youngsters-and also more slowly forgot what they had learned.
Scientists have long known that a part of our brains called the hippocampus is important for memory and learning but how it works has been unclear. Now we know that when an animal in training completes a task, neurons (brain cells) called place cells are activated as a map of where they are on their path. The more often you go over the same path, the stronger these maps become-and eventually form a long-term memory.
Researchers found that adult mice had about half the number of new brain connections than youngsters but they did not show any decline in learning ability. These findings have significant implications for humans who may be able to learn more effectively as we grow older, even though our brains are shrinking.
According to the lead researcher Dr Ann Gray, “We know that during aging there is less brain growth so if adults really do form memories better, then they should have fewer connections in their hippocampus than youngsters.”
These results also suggest that mice learn differently as they grow older. Young animals don’t forget quickly but lose the context of learning more slowly; while an adult mouse loses both these qualities much faster. It is not yet clear whether this knowledge can be transferred to humans who age differently from rodents, or even other species such as pigeons and rats which also have highly developed memories.
This research opens up a number of interesting questions about the workings of memory in our brains: Are older people more resilient than younger ones? What is happening at the cellular level during learning? Do we all learn differently through our lives? While scientists are still working out these answers, this study shows that there’s hope for getting better as we grow old-if only by forming memories faster.
A: to report on a recent scientific breakthrough and its implications
B: to explain the importance of memory in learning new things
C: to criticize scientists who neglected mice studies beforehand
D: to prove that older people are better than young ones at learning
Response: The passage discusses a study conducted by researchers on mice, which revealed some interesting findings about how adult and young mice learn differently. It further explores the implications of these results in terms of memory functioning and human aging. Although it touches upon the importance of memory (B), criticizes previous studies (C) and discusses age-related learning differences (D), its primary focus is to introduce a recent scientific breakthrough in this area – understanding how memories form, change over time, and impact our ability to learn new things as we age. Hence, option “A: to report on a recent scientific breakthrough and its implications” best encapsulates the main purpose of writing this passage.
Label A→B with either “not-entailed” or “entailed”.
A: The zink dotted the shink.
B: Someone did not move from their location .
Response: The statements are unrelated and do not provide enough information to establish a connection between them. Statement A discusses an action, though it uses nonsensical words (“zink” and “shink”), implying some sort of interaction or placement. However, statement B is about someone’s location, which has no clear linkage with the first statement. As such, we cannot determine whether statement B is entaited from statement A based on provided information. Therefore, it would be incorrect to label this as “entailed”. Instead, the more appropriate answer should have been ‘not-entailed’. However, given that the official answer says ‘entailed’, there might be some misunderstanding or miscommunication in interpreting these statements’ relationship. In a strict sense and based on context provided, it doesn’t seem to entail as they do not share any direct logical connection.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: The woman had been married once before , but the marriage ended in a whirlwind romance and a new job out of state for Michael Caine .
B: This is her first time being married to Michael Caine .
Response: In statement A, it mentions that the woman was already married (even though this marriage did not last), while statement B suggests that this is the first time she has been married. These statements contradict each other as they provide different information about the number of times the woman had been married. Therefore, the relationship between these two sentences is a contradiction.
Label A→B with either “False” or “True”.
A: how much water can we survive without
B: Water (H2O) consists of hydrogen and oxygen bound together in an unstable molecular arrangement .
Response: The statement B does not answer the question asked in statement A. Statement A is asking about human survival time without water, while statement B gives information on the composition of a water molecume. Therefore, there’s no correlation between these two statements and we can conclude that it’s False.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “neutral”.
A: Someone believes that the brown dogs are playfully fighting on the sandy beach
B: The brown dogs are playfully fighting on the sandy beach
Response: In this scenario, statement B is presented as a fact while in statement A it’s depicted as someone’ belief. Therefore, we cannot confirm with absolute certainty that the event (brown dogs playing fight on the beach) is happening just based on somebody’s belief or perception of what they believe to be happening. This is why this relationship can be considered “neutral”. There may be a possibility for it to be true but there isn’t enough information given in A to definitively confirm B. Hence, neither entailment nor contradiction exists between these two statements.
Label the following with either “question”, “directive”, “commissive” or “inform”.
what kind of car do you want ?
Response: The sentence “What kind of car do you want?” is seeking information about a person’s preference in cars, it directly asks for an answer. Therefore, this falls under the category of “question”.
Label A→B with either “not-entailed” or “entailed”.
A: The company ‘s earnings grew 14 % , despite tough comparisons .
B: 14 % was/were used in carrying out the growing.
Response: Statement B seems to be misinterpreted from statement A, as it doesn’t make clear sense. However, if we try to extract a meaningful relation between them, there is no direct entailment. While both statements mention “14%”, they discuss different subjects – in statement A it refers to the company’s earnings growth, while in B, it seems like some process or action used 14%. Therefore, the relationship can be labeled as “not-entailed”.
Label the following with either “linguistic-bias” or “not linguistic-bias”.
a group of conservative republicans including mcconnell held a meeting to plan for how they would respond if the federal courts blocked any attempt at an executive amnesty
Response: The given statement is presenting factual information about a specific event involving politicians. There’s no indication in this context that language, words or phrases used favor or discriminate against a particular group or individual based on their social, cultural or ethnic backgrounds which defines linguistic bias. Therefore, the statement does not exhibit linguistic-bias.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: I will start my office hour before 10 PM.
B: I will start my office hour after 23:59.
Response: The statement B is contradicting the statement A because if someone starts their office hours ‘before 10PM’ it means they can not start at a time later than that like ‘after 23:59’. Therefore, these two statements are in contradiction with each other.
Label the following with either “neutral”, “hate”, “enthusiasm” or “fun”.
@taylorswift13 Good Morning Taylor! And Welcome to Twitter!! http://myloc.me/78285490
Response: The given text is a friendly greeting towards a popular singer, expressing well-wishes and welcoming her onto the social platform – Twitter. There are no indicators of extreme excitement (enthusiasm), dislike or hate, nor does it explicitly convey fun elements. Therefore, this message can be categorized as neutral because it simply communicates basic pleasantries without a specific emotional tone attached to it.
Chose the best option from “A”, “B” or “C”. suppose more water is needed happens, how will it affect LESS erosion by rivers.
A: no effect
B: less
C: more
Response: Increased water levels generally lead to increased river flow and energy, which can potentially cause more erosion. However, in this specific context where we are looking for the impact on “less” erosion by rivers as a result of needing more water, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be less erosion overall.
The situation is somewhat paradoxical because if you increase the volume of flow (thus increasing the amount of water), this could potentially lead to increased erosion due to greater force and movement of sediment within the riverbed, especially in cases where protective measures against erosion aren’t in place.
However, considering that we are talking about a direct link between needing more water and less erosion from rivers under the same scenario, it doesn’t seem to make sense logically. More water is likely to increase, not decrease, the potential for river erosion unless there are specific interventions or environmental factors in place that counteract this effect.
Thus given these conditions and choices, the best answer would be “A: no effect” because simply increasing the need for more water doesn’t directly translate to less erosion by rivers without considering other intervening variables. It might even lead to increased erosion if not managed properly. However, it is also important to note that this scenario involves a lot of assumptions and real-world conditions could vary significantly.
Label A→B with either “Exact”, “Irrelevant”, “Complement” or “Substitute”.

Chose the best option from “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
Most people have heard about bilingual education. Some think it’s an excellent idea; others believe that children should learn one language at a time. The truth may be somewhere in between, as shown by recent research on bilingual education programs for young children.
The study was conducted over 10 years and included students from two New York City schools: P.S. 345 in Spanish Harlem and P.S. 87 in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Researchers compared a classroom that used bilingual instruction with one that taught children in English only.
In both classes, young students learned basic reading skills like understanding consonants and vowels . But after five years , researchers found no difference between the two groups of students when they took standardized tests on their reading abilities.
However, while children who were educated bilingually performed just as well in English on these tests, they also showed more skill in Spanish than did their classmates from the traditional classes. In fact, by age 10 , they had developed advanced language skills and better understanding of grammar . Bilingual students may have been able to translate complex sentences into simple ones – a skill that’s often difficult for monolingual English-speaking children.
Students in the bilingual classroom also became more socially successful as they got older, according to researchers. They reported having better social skills with their peers and teachers than did students in the other group. This may have been because of the fact that these kids had learned some basic communication skills in Spanish earlier on in school.
Although bilingual education has its benefits, it’s not perfect for every child. It can be tough to find a classroom with enough qualified teachers who know both languages and are able to teach them effectively . The program may also take longer than traditional classes would take, since the curriculum is divided into two parts instead of one. Nevertheless , some students seem to do well in bilingual programs, while others perform better when they’re taught only in English.
The study indicates that there are pros and cons for both approaches to language learning. What matters most is choosing a program that works best for your child.
A: The research lasted 10 years.
B: Bilingual education will take more time than monolingual education in this case.
C: Children who were taught only in English could do as well as bilinguals did in the test.
D: Bilingual students had better social skills with their classmates and teachers when they got older.
Response: The passage states that “The study indicates that there are pros and cons for both approaches to language learning”, but it does not explicitly confirm or deny option C, which claims that children who were taught only in English could perform as well as those in bilingual education programs on tests of reading ability. While the passage discusses test results comparing two groups of students – one from a bilingual program and one from an English-only classroom – it concludes by stating “they had developed advanced language skills and better understanding of grammar”. However, it doesn’t make any direct comparison about their performance on tests, hence option C is not directly supported or contradicted in the passage.
Option A: The research lasted 10 years – This is stated explicitly in the text where it says “The study was conducted over 10 years…”. So this statement is true according to the passage.
Option B: Bilingual education will take more time than monolingual education in this case – While the text doesn’t directly state that bilingual education takes longer, it mentions that “the program may also take longer than traditional classes would take”. This implies a potential difference in duration between these methods. However, the passage does not definitively confirm or deny the statement so we can consider B is true according to implications from the text but not directly stated.
Option D: Bilingual students had better social skills with their classmates and teachers when they got older – This is explicitly mentioned in the text where it states, “Students in the bilingual classroom also became more socially successful as they got older…”. Therefore this statement aligns with information provided by the passage.
Therefore, option C: ‘Children who were taught only in English could do as well as bilinguals did on tests’ is NOT true according to the passage because it directly doesn’t discuss how children taught only in English performed on the tests compared to those from bilingual programs. The text simply mentions that no difference was found between the groups of students when they took standardized tests, not comparing results with other studies or different educational methods.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “neutral”.
A: There is no god but there is a comedian .
B: There is no God but there is Jesus .
Response: The statement A makes two claims – one about the existence of God and another about a comedian. Statement B, on the other hand, also discusses the non-existence of God but then introduces a new subject (Jesus). Since both statements share similar sentiments regarding the non-existence of God but diverge in their subjects – A talks about a “comedian” while B refers to “Jesus,” these two sentences do not necessarily entail one another. Therefore, the relationship between these two sentences is neutral.
Label each line with “B-PP”, “I-NP”, “O”, “I-VP”, “B-ADVP”, “B-SBAR”, “B-VP”, “B-NP”, “B-PRT” or “B-ADJP” preceded by “:”.

Response: The sentence is broken down and tagged according to the Part-of-Speech (POS) tags used in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
“The”: This word starts a noun phrase, so it’s labeled as “B-NP”.
“companies”: This continues the noun phrase started by “The”, so it’s tagged as “I-NP”.
“,”: It doesn’t belong to any phrases, so it is “O”.
“which”: It starts a relative clause hence acting like a nominal subject here. So it’s marked with “B-NP”.
“have”: This begins a verb phrase (VP), tagged as “B-VP”.
“been”: As this continues the same verb, it’s labeled “I-VP”.
“inactive”: It acts like an adverbial phrase describing ‘have been’, so it is tagged with “B-ADVP”.
“for”: This starts a prepositional phrase (PP), marked as “B-PP”.
“several”: This begins another noun phrase within the prepositional phrase, hence labeled as “B-NP”.
“years”: It continues the previous noun phrase, so it’s tagged as “I-NP”.
“,”: As before, this doesn’t belong to any phrases and is marked with “O”.
“had”: This starts another verb phrase (VP), tagged as “B-VP”.
“received”: It continues the verb phrase started by ‘had’, so it’s labeled as “I-VP”.
“subpoenas”: This word begins a new noun phrase, marked with “B-NP”.
“from”: Another preposition starting a phrase (PP), tagged as “B-PP”.
“the”: It starts another noun phrase within the PP, so it’s labeled as “B-NP”.
“federal”: Continues the previous noun phrase and is thus marked with “I-NP”.
“investigators”: This word continues the noun phrase started by ‘the’, so it’s tagged as “I-NP”.
“.”: It doesn’t belong to any phrases, so it’s labeled as “O”.
The tags used here help to understand how words function within sentences, a crucial step for many NLP tasks. They categorize each word based on its grammatical role and position in the sentence structure, which can then be used by machine learning models to generate accurate language predictions or interpretations.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: The FDA is not bound by this standard of review.
B: This is a new standard the FDA has never heard about before, so they aren’t held to it.
Response: In statement A, it claims that the FDA is not bound by a certain standard of review but does not specify whether or not the FDA knows about this standard. Statement B suggests that the FDA doesn’t know about the new standard and hence isn’t held to it. However, there is no direct contradiction between these two statements as A doesn’t deny the possibility that the FDA could have never heard of a certain standard before. Similarly, statement B does not directly confirm or contradict statement A since A simply states that FDA is not bound by this standard but does not mention about it being unknown to them. Therefore, the relation between these two statements is neutral.
Chose the best option from “A” or “B”. I am trying to learn how to play the guitar. Can you recommend any resources for me to improve my skills.
A: If your goal is just learning how to “play” on a guitar, then there are lots of great online tutorials and videos that can help teach you the basics in an easy-to-understand format. Some popular sites include Youtube (e.g., JustinGuitar), Udemy, and Guitar Tricks. You might also consider investing in some instructional books or attending classes at a local music store to receive personalized feedback on your playing style.
B: What is the guitar you want to learn? Is it an acoustic or electric guitar? Are you interested in learning how to strum, fingerpick, or play chords and scales?
Do you have any musical backgrounds that could help shape what kind of resources are available for you?
Are there specific goals you’d like to achieve while playing the guitar, such as writing songs or performing on stage.
Response: Option A is more helpful because it directly answers your question by providing various online and offline resources where you can learn how to play the guitar. It gives concrete examples of websites (YouTube channels, Udemy courses) and platforms that could help improve your skills. Additionally, it suggests investing in instructional books or attending local music store classes for personalized feedback.
On the other hand, option B doesn’t directly answer your question but rather asks additional questions to gather more information about your specific needs and preferences which although useful, may not be as immediately beneficial as direct resource recommendations. While it could guide you towards a better-suited learning experience later on, it does not provide the concrete resources that were asked for in the original query.
Therefore, option A is the best answer because it directly provides the requested information and suggestions on how to improve guitar skills with specific examples of resources to use. This makes it more relevant and useful for someone who simply wants to learn how to play the guitar and ways they could enhance their skills.
Chose the best option from “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”. A: How long do you plan on staying ? B: At least a week . What about you ? A: Just one night , but possibly two if I can get there early . B: Looks like we ‘ll have to make different plans for dinner , then , . Sorry about that . A: It ‘s really no problem . Everything will work out fine.
A: The speaker was not able to find a place where they could meet each other at the restaurant and had planned everything in advance but it turned out to be impossible due to some reasons.
B: The speaker couldn’t get together with anyone else for dinner, so he decided to cook his own food instead.
C: The speaker was not able to find a place where they could meet each other at the restaurant and had planned everything in advance but it turned out to be impossible due to some reasons.
D: The speaker found a new location where they would both be able to meet at the same time.
Response: The conversation between two people indicates that one of them (Speaker A) is planning to stay only for one night, possibly extending if he arrives early enough while the other person (Speaker B) plans on staying for a week. When Speaker B mentions they’ll have to make different dinner plans, it suggests some sort of scheduling conflict preventing them from dining together at that particular restaurant or time. This situation aligns with option C which states: “The speaker was not able to find a place where they could meet each other at the restaurant and had planned everything in advance but it turned out to be impossible due to some reasons.”
Options A and B are incorrect as neither of them discuss about planning issues or scheduling conflicts. Option D is also incorrect because there’s no indication that they found a new location to meet for dinner. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
Label the following with either “linguistic-bias” or “not linguistic-bias”.
in 1975 on his return from haiti he was given an honorary degree by miami university of the arts in recognition for his contribution to performing and theatre art history worldwide
Response: The statement shows no linguistic bias. It merely states facts about a person, Dr. Joseph Bechard’s achievement and contributions without expressing any form of preference or prejudice against certain languages or dialects. Linguistic bias would involve some unfairness in language use, which isn’t the case here as there is no comparison or distinction made on this basis. Therefore, it can be categorized as “not linguistic-bias”.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: A 120 cm tall student walks away from a 60 cm tall student.
B: The taller student is walking faster than the shorter student.
Response: In the given statement, there’s no mention of either students’ speed while they walk. Therefore, we cannot infer or contradict whether the taller student is walking faster than the shorter one based on their height alone. So it doesn’t necessarily entail that B is true or false just from A. Thus, this makes the relationship between these two statements neutral.
Chose the best option from “A”, “B” or “C”. What will happen to Others?
A: be happy with Ashley
B: be angry at Ashley
C: get punched by Ashley
Response: The question doesn’t provide a specific context, but we can infer some possibilities based on the given options. Options B and C imply a negative interaction between Ashley and others which might lead to conflict or violence. However, option A suggests a positive outcome where everyone is happy with Ashley. This choice assumes a scenario of harmonious coexistence or understanding rather than animosity or physical confrontation. Therefore, without any additional context implying negativity from Ashley’s actions, the best assumption would be that others will “be happy with Ashley” (Option A).
Label each line with “O”, “B-PERSON”, “I-PERSON”, “B-NORP”, “I-NORP”, “B-FAC”, “I-FAC”, “B-ORG”, “I-ORG” or “B-GPE” preceded by “:”.
It
‘s
a
claim
.
Response: The given lines do not contain any named entities such as a person, organization, geopolitical entity, etc., hence all the tokens are labeled with “O”, which stands for ‘Outside’. This tag is used when no specific category applies to a token in Named Entity Recognition (NER).
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: People riding their bikes down the sidewalk on a city street.
B: People ride bikes on an urban road.
Response: The first statement talks about people riding their bikes on the sidewalk in a city street, while the second one speaks of them riding on an urban road. While both statements involve people riding bikes and are set within an urban area, there’s no direct overlap or contradiction between these scenarios as they describe two different situations – one on the sidewalk (which is typically not meant for bike traffic) versus on a road designed specifically for it. Therefore, we cannot definitively say that B is entaaminated by A nor contradictory to A; instead, it’s neutral with respect to the information given in A.
Label each line with “B-NP”, “I-NP”, “O”, “B-ADJP”, “I-ADJP”, “B-ADVP”, “I-ADVP”, “B-CONJP”, “I-CONJP” or “B-INTJ” preceded by “:”.
South
Africa
Response: The words ‘South’ and ‘Africa’ together form a noun phrase (NP). In this case, ‘South’ is the beginning of the noun phrase hence it’s labelled as “B-NP”, which stands for Beginning Noun Phrase. The word ‘Africa’ continues the same noun phrase so it’s tagged as “I-NP” which indicates Inside a Noun Phrase.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: It is not true that they will be here tomorrow.
B: They are here today.
Response: The first statement says ‘they’ won’t be there tomorrow, but it doesn’t provide any information about their current location. On the other hand, the second statement asserts that ‘they’ are at present. There is no contradiction or agreement between these two statements because they talk about different time frames (‘today’ and ‘tomorrow’). Thus, the relationship can be classified as neutral.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: Suppose there is a common cold.
B: There is not any common sickness.
Response: The statement A implies that there exists a common cold, which means it’s an acknowledged illness existing within the population. However, Statement B contradicts this by stating that no such common sickness exists at all. These two statements are in direct conflict with each other; thus they are labeled as a ‘contradiction’.
Label A→B with either “False” or “True”.
A: Is it alive?
B: dirt
Response: Dirt is not considered to be alive because it doesn’t meet the criteria of being classified under living organisms. Living organisms have several characteristics such as they grow, reproduce, respond to their environment, and metabolize. While dirt may contain microorganisms which are living entities, dirt itself in its standard form isn’t considered alive. So, when asked if dirt is alive or not – the answer would be ‘False’.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “not entailment”.
A: The dog eats the lion. The dog likes the rabbit. The lion does not eat the mouse. The lion is kind. The lion needs the dog. The lion sees the dog. The lion sees the mouse. The lion sees the rabbit. The mouse eats the dog. The mouse is red. The mouse is young. The mouse likes the dog. The mouse does not need the dog. The rabbit is blue. The rabbit needs the mouse. If something eats the mouse and it sees the rabbit then it likes the rabbit. If something sees the rabbit and the rabbit eats the dog then the dog likes the lion.
B: The rabbit does not eat the dog.
Response: The statement B “The rabbit does not eat the dog” can be derived or entaited from statement A because there is no mention in statement A of the rabbit eating the dog. All statements involving what the rabbit and other animals do in relation to the dog are conditional (i.e., if this happens, then that). But none specifically state that the rabbit eats the dog. Therefore, it’s safe to infer or entail statement B from Statement A given no contradictory evidence in statement A about the rabbit eating the dog.
Label each line with “O”, “B-PERSON”, “I-PERSON”, “B-NORP”, “I-NORP”, “B-FAC”, “I-FAC”, “B-ORG”, “I-ORG” or “B-GPE” preceded by “:”.
The
truthfulness
of
the
accounts
has
not
been
verified
.
Response: In this sentence, there are no named entities – persons, nationalities or religious/political groups (NORP), facilities such as buildings or airports (FAC), organizations (ORG), or geopolitical entities like countries, cities or states (GPE). Thus all words in the sentence are labeled “O”, which stands for outside of named entity.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: Suppose there is a common cold.
B: Someone has a cold.
Response: The statement A implies the existence of a situation where someone is experiencing a common cold. This means that in this particular scenario, it would be correct to say that ‘someone’ does indeed have a cold. Therefore, Statement B can be logically derived from or entailed by Statement A. Thus, the relationship between these two statements is one of “entailment.”
Label each line with “O”, “B-PERSON”, “I-PERSON”, “B-NORP”, “I-NORP”, “B-FAC”, “I-FAC”, “B-ORG”, “I-ORG” or “B-GPE” preceded by “:”.
The

.
Response: In this sentence, there are no named entities (persons, organizations, nationalities or religions, facilities etc). All the words in this context don’t refer to any specific person, organization, geographical entity or other categories that need tagging. So all of these words are labeled as “O”, which stands for outside of a named entity.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “neutral”.
A: He was known by many names , the most commonly used being Ping-Pang-Bo .
B: He was known by many names , the most commonly used being the greatest white hope of his age .
Response: The statement A states that a certain individual is referred to as “Ping-Pang-Bo,” while Statement B claims this person’s nickname, in context, is “the greatest white hope of his age.” However, there isn’t enough information provided in statement A to support or negate the claim made in statement B. As a result, these statements are not directly related and do not entail each other. Therefore, the relationship between Statement A and Statement B can be labeled as “neutral.”
Label the following with either “happiness”, “surprise”, “disgust” or “fear”.
thank you . i appreciate your support !
Response: The statement “thank you. I appreciate your support!” expresses a feeling of gratitude and positivity, which correlates to the emotion of happiness. Therefore, it is categorized under ‘happiness’.
Label A→B with either “NOT ENOUGH INFO”, “REFUTES” or “SUPPORTS”.
A: The film “ Cinderella ” stars Kristen Bell .
B: It also starred Brie Larson , Lily James , Sam Heughan and Richard Madden.
Response: While statement B lists actors who starred in the movie, it does not mention whether or not Kristen Bell was among those actors. Therefore, there is not enough information to confirm or refute that “The film Cinderella” stars Kristen Bell based on this statement alone.
Label A→B with either “entailment”, “neutral” or “contradiction”.
A: The man in the blue shirt looks very happy .
B: The woman in the blue shirt is sad .
Response: The sentences are discussing two different individuals and their emotions. In Sentence A, a ‘man’ is described as being happy while in Sentence B, it describes a ‘woman’ who is sad. There is no contradiction or entailment since these are separate scenarios involving different people with different emotional states. However, the official answer seems to suggest a contradiction although it does not directly contradict because they do not relate on the same person. It might be an error as logically speaking there is neutrality in their relation.
Label A→B with either “not-entailed” or “entailed”.
A: The harrent’s lofing encouraged Tyler.
B: Someone moved from their location .
Response: Statement A talks about someone named Tyler being encouraged by the ‘harrent’ but there is no information provided regarding anyone moving from a location in this statement.
Statement B talks about an unidentified person or group of people who moved from one location to another. There is no correlation between these two statements as they discuss completely different subjects. Therefore, we cannot infer that A entails B. Hence the relation between them is not-entailed.
Chose the best option from “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”. Where can you buy a lot of books?
A: bookstore
B: library
C: school room
D: supermarket
Response: All options except for one generally provide access to a large number of books.
Option A, a bookstore, is the place specifically designed and dedicated to selling books in bulk. You can find various types of books such as novels, non-fiction, textbooks etc., all at once here.
Option B, a library, while it does offer a multitude of books, these are typically borrowed rather than purchased so it’s not the place where you buy a lot of them.
Option C, a school room, could possibly have lots of books depending on its usage but they aren’t usually sold there and hence can’t be considered as a ‘place to buy’ in general terms.
Option D, supermarket might sell some types of books such as newspapers or magazines, not typically large volumes or the full spectrum of book genres that one could find at a bookstore.
Therefore, considering all these aspects, option A: ‘bookstore’ is the best answer where you can buy a lot of books.
Label each line with “O”, “B-Disease” or “I-Disease” preceded by “:”.
This
report
provides
the
first
description
of
a
patient
with
G6PD
A
deficiency
and
acute
hemolytic
anemia
.
Response: The labels here represent whether each word is part of a disease name (“B-Disease” or “I-Disease”) or not related to any disease (“O”).
The words ‘G6PD’ and ‘A deficiency’ together form a disease name, so they are tagged as “B-Disease” and “I-Disease”, respectively. The B- prefix indicates the beginning of the disease entity and I- stands for inside or continuation of that same entity.
Similarly, ‘acute hemolytic anemia’ is also a disease name. Hence, ‘acute’ gets tagged as “B-Disease” to indicate the start of another disease entity. The rest of the words in this phrase (‘hemolytic’, ‘anemia’) are part of the same disease entity and hence labeled as “I-Disease”.
The remaining words don’t refer to any diseases, so they all receive the label “O”, which means other or not a named entity.
Label A→B with either “entailment” or “neutral”.
A: Someone hopes that the men are performing on stage .
B: The men are performing on stage .
Response: In statement A, it is stated that someone hopes for an event to occur i.e., men performing on stage. However, this does not confirm whether the event has actually taken place or not. Therefore, we cannot conclude that B (the men are indeed performing on stage) is a definite result of A. It could be true, but it’s also possible that it isn’t. Thus, this relationship is neutral, as statement B neither directly follows from nor contradicts statement A.
Label the following with either “not text-level-bias” or “text-level-bias”.
I m not racist But I don t think white people should be allowed to have a baby because it s like 10 percent of all births anyway What is this post even about Maybe you just want better health care and education for everyone If that s the case then great but your argument doesn t really match up
Response: The text displays bias at the level of its content, as it makes a racially charged assertion without any factual or logical support. This shows an unfair prejudice against white people based on their race. Therefore, this example is labeled as “text-level-bias”.
Label A→B with either “not_paraphrase” or “paraphrase”.
A: The first four volumes are translated by Paul Bailey , published in 1984 .
B: The first four volumes were translated by Paul Bailey and published in 1984 .
Response: Both sentences A and B convey the same meaning, which is that the initial four volumes of a certain work (not specified) were translated by Paul Bailey and released for public consumption or distribution in 1984. They are worded differently but they express the exact same idea. Therefore, these two sentences can be considered as paraphrases.
Label A→B with either “False” or “True”.
A: Alan is high. Alan is strong. Charlie is thin. Charlie is short. Erin is kind. Fiona is poor. Fiona is sad. If someone is not big then they are poor. If someone is not dull then they are quiet. If someone is kind then they are wealthy. If someone is wealthy and not bad then they are smart. If someone is poor and not big then they are rough. All rough people are small. If someone is thin and short then they are dull. If someone is dull and not quiet then they are sad. If someone is sad then they are young. If someone is quiet then they are clever. All clever people are nice. All smart people are experienced. ### Query
Which of thee following statements about an LLC (Limited Liability Company) is true?
A) An LLC can include foreign corporations as members, but a single member cannot be a foreign entity.
B) The rules for forming and taxation apply to both partnerships and LLCs.
C) Members of an LLC are personally liable for the debts or obligations of the company.
D) A single-member LLC is owned by one person who can be a corporation.
Reply
The correct statement about an LLC (Limited Liability Company) among the provided options is D: “A single-member LLC is owned by one person who can be a corporation.”
An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, offers limited liability protection to its members. This means that the personal assets of the members are typically not at risk for the company’s debts and obligations; rather, their financial responsibility is capped at their investment in the business. As such, statement C is incorrect because it contradicts one of the fundamental benefits of an LLC structure.
Regarding option A, while there may be regulations that limit foreign ownership within certain types of LLCs or regions, stating a blanket rule across all jurisdictions is overly broad and not universally true.
Option B oversimplifies the rules for forming and taxation as it implies they are identical for both partnerships and LLCs when in reality, while there may be similarities, each entity type has distinct regulatory requirements.
Therefore, option D is accurate because a single-member LLC can indeed have just one member who may be an individual or even another business entity like a corporation. This flexibility allows for different structures within the same legal framework of limited liability companies.
