RTE Instructions

The New York University Center for Data Science is collecting your answers for use in research on computer understanding of English. Thank you for your help!

We will present you with a prompt taken from an article someone wrote. Your job is to figure out, based on this correct prompt (the first prompt, on top), if another prompt (the second prompt, on bottom) is also true:

Choose correct if any event or situation that can be described by the first prompt on top would also fit the prompt on the bottom. Example:

“Russian cosmonaut Valery Polyakov set the record for the longest continuous amount of time spent in space, a staggering 438 days, between 1994 and 1995.”

“Russians hold record for longest stay in space.”
Choose incorrect if the event or situation described with the first prompt on top does not clearly fit the prompt on the bottom. Example:

“Hours earlier, Yasser Arafat called for an end to attacks against Israeli civilians in the two weeks before Israeli elections.”

“Arafat condemned suicide bomb attacks inside Israel.”

You do not have to worry about whether the writing style is maintained between the two prompts.
