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. There are a large number of refugees and people seeking asylum in the United States. 2. The United States doesn't accept immigrants, regardless of status. 3. Some people who haven't applied for permanent residency are being considered for it.
