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 president--and this has been especially true of Clinton--frequently nominates the least offensive nominee rather than the most qualified in order to pacify the Senate. Choices: 1. Even Clinton, like most presidents, always choose the most qualified nominee. 2. Clinton and other presidents tend to pick the least offensive nominee instead of the best-qualified one. 3. If Clinton nominated the most qualified nominee, the Senate might vote against them.
