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. The austere wooden structure is not meant to convey a sense of permanence. 2. The massive gothic cathedrals serve the same purpose as the wooden structure. 3. The wooden structure is left as is for as long as it takes to decompose back into the earth.
