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: One pattern that quickly arises is an apparently never-ending series of contradictions. Choices: 1. The only pattern which emerges quickly is an endless series of contradictions. 2. An endless series of contradictions, is a pattern which tends to arise slowly. 3. A pattern which forms rapidly is a seemingly never-ending series of contradictions.
