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: I just believe, to quote his February 28, 2000, MIDS article, that that great American, Mr. Cary Baer, had it right when he said, Before we develop solutions we need to reach some consensus on the problem. Choices: 1. Mr. Cary Baer stated that even without consensus, it was definitely possible to come up with viable solutions to problems. 2. Mr. Cary Baer was speaking from experience on the issue of consensus. 3. Mr. Carey Baer contended that people needed to somewhat agree on the basic premise of a problem before any solutions could be developed.
