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.

Just last year, Genovese released Roll, Jordan, The World the Slaves Made. 2. The book was a hit, and showed many pictures of awful slave conditions. 3. Many years ago, the historian Genovese released Roll, Jordan, The World the Slaves Made.
