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.

Choices: 1. Krugman criticized both Robert Reich personally and his book, because Reich is not an economist. 2. Krugman had praises for Robert Reich's The Work of Nations, after reading it twice. 3. Krugman criticized Robert Reich's book without reading it, simply because Reich is a lawyer and not an economist.
