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 apportioned amount limits the obligations that may be incurred. Choices: 1. Departments generally want to work with higher amount limits. 2. The obligations that may be taken on are limited by the amount that has portioned. 3. There is no way to limit the obligations that a department can incur.
