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: The dark made it hard to see more than centimetres ahead, and but for the streaks of starlight we would have been blind. Choices: 1. It was hard to see because it was so dark outside at midnight. 2. It was hard to see because it was so bright outside. 3. It was hard to see because it was so dark outside.
