Definition: In this task, you're given a statement and three sentences as choices. Your job is to determine the neutral choice based on your inference from the statement and your commonsense knowledge. The neutral choice is a sentence that neither agrees nor disagrees with the statement. Indicate your answer as '1', '2', or '3', corresponding to the choice number of the selected sentence. If sentence X agrees with sentence Y, one's correctness follows from the other one. If sentence X disagrees with sentence Y, they can not be correct at the same time.
Input: Statement: It was even sillier than their sneaking about for them to expect him to start running around before they bothered to check the condition of a man fresh out of his death bed. Choices: 1. A man was fresh out of his own death thanks to science but it was ridiculous for them to expect him to start running right out the gate. 2. Their sneaking about wasn't as silly as their expectation the man would start running around fresh out of his own death bed. 3. Their expectations that he would be active right out of his death bed were completely rational.
