Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Everything I was going to be having for dinner was already cooking except for the final ingredient . It was time to cook my rice . First I pulled the big bag of rice out of my pantry and set it on my counter . Then I got my dishes : my big cooking pot , my wooden spoon , and my plastic measuring cup . The bag of rice was one that could be opened and resealed easily , so I just opened it and scooped out two cups of the white rice and dumped them in my pot . After resealing the rice bag to keep the grains fresh , I put it away , back into the pantry . Next I filled my measuring cup with water and poured the water into the pot until all the rice was covered . Then I turned on the stove . I made sure my pot 's handle was safely tucked behind the pot and not sticking out over the edge of the stove , so that I would n't accidentally hit it with my elbow . While I waited for the water in the pot to begin to boil , I stirred the rice with my spoon . My salt shaker was on the counter by the stove ; every so often , I tapped a little bit of salt into the water to season the rice . I stirred and stirred . When the rice was big and white and fluffy , I scooped up a spoonful , blew on it to cool it off , and tasted it . Perfect ! Now it was time to eat . Question: What began to boil? Option1: water Option2: salt
Output (English): water
