This discovery led the scientists to hypothesize that the function of the parathyroid gland is to regulate the level of calcium in the blood by raising that level when it falls below the normal range. In a further experiment, the scientists removed not only the parathyroid gland but also the adrenal gland from rats. They made the surprising discovery that the level of calcium in the rats' blood decreased much less sharply than when the parathyroid gland alone was removed.\n\nQuestion:\nWhich one of the following, if true, explains the surprising discovery in a way most consistent with the scientists' hypothesis?\n\nOptions:\nA: The absence of a parathyroid gland causes the adrenal gland to increase the level of calcium in the blood.\nB: If the adrenal gland, and no other gland, of a rat were removed, the rat's calcium level would remain stable.\nC: The adrenal gland acts to lower the level of calcium in the blood.\nD: The adrenal gland and the parathyroid gland play the same role in regulating calcium blood levels.\n\n\nThe answer is D" + ] + }, + { + "index": 300.0, + "pred": 0, + "label": -1, + "input": [ + "Answer the following question with the given context through logical reasoning:\n\n\n\nContext:\nA consumer magazine surveyed people who had sought a psychologist' s help with a personal problem.

So, since it would be easy for Oliver to return the guitar today, and Madeline has not given him permission to return it late, he should return it today.\nB: Christopher told Sumi that the book she borrowed from him need not be returned by Friday. Thus, it would be wrong for Sumi to return the book earlier than Friday.\nC: Val should return Ted's car to him today, because although he told her that she could return it late, she promised that she would return it today and it would not be difficult for her to do so.\nD: Yesenia borrowed Mike's computer, and he has just requested that she return it to him by tomorrow.
