Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: For dinner tonight I decided to cook pasta . I entered my kitchen and grabbed a pot from under the stove . I filled the pot to the brim with water and placed the pot on the stove . While I was waiting for the water to boil I entered my pantry and chose the type of pasta I would be making . I had various choices such as spaghetti , penne , angel hair and elbow macaroni . I decided on penne . Approximately twenty minutes after I placed the water to boil on the stove the water was at a rolling boil which is perfect for cooking pasta . I grabbed an empty bowl from my cupboard and filled it with penne pasta so I had one serving . I dumped the bowl of pasta in the water . After doing this I added a pinch of salt because it gives the pasta flavor . After about fifteen minutes I took my wooden spoon and tried the texture of the pasta to ensure it was filly cooked and tender . It was so I grabbed a strainer under my cupboard and placed it in the sink . I took the pasta off the stove and dumped it into the strainer . Once there was no more water I put the pasta into a bowl and chose my sauce . I enjoyed my pasta . Question: What needed to boil? Option1: Water Option2: The pasta.
Output (English): Water
