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: For GAO-and for most of the federal government-to compete with the private sector, we must be able to have a more flexible compensation system that can bring people into government employment at attractive pay levels. Choices: 1. We must be able to have a more flexible compensation system that can bring people into government employment. 2. Providing attractive pay levels is key to making this work, although what these levels are is still under heavy debate. 3. We must disregard the option to have a more flexible compensation system that can bring people into government employment.
