WNLI 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 sentence that someone wrote, this is the first prompt. 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 the event or situation described by the first prompt on top also clearly implies the prompt on the bottom. Example:

“I put the cake away in the refrigerator. It has a lot of butter in it.”

“The cake has a lot of butter in it.”
Choose incorrect if the event or situation described by the first prompt on top does not logically imply the prompt on the bottom. Example:

“The large ball crashed right through the table because it was made of styrofoam.”

“The large ball was made of styrofoam.”

You do not have to worry about whether the writing style is maintained between the questions and the prompt.
