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: These views may make conflicts longer and more bloody than they would otherwise be. Choices: 1. These views do a lot to speed up the introduction of peace and reduce casualties in conflict. 2. Conflicts are usually quite short without these views.  3. These views can increase the intensity of conflict unnecessarily.
