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.

Statement: This precisely echoes Justice Lewis Powell's famous explanation of permissible affirmative action in the 1978 Bakke  Choices: 1. It was completely different from what was said in 1738. 2. He respected the judge and his decisions back then. 3. It gave props to his description of affirmative action during the late 70s.
