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: When employees' arrival and departure times for a pay period are established, these schedules become the basis for recorded T&amp;A data unless material variances or deviations occur. Choices: 1. There were strong variances so the times were not a factor.  2. The basis of the schedules comes from employees' arrival and departure times. 3. The basis of the schedules has nothing to do with employees' arrival and departure times.
