Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I decided that I wanted to cook some pasta so I got a box of spaghetti noodles out of the cabinets . I got a pot out of the pantry , filled it with cold water , then placed it on top of the eye on the stove . Then I turned the knob that controls the heat on the I and set the temperature to high so that the water will boil . I waited about five minutes into the water began boiling , which is when I took the spaghetti noodles out of the box and immerse them in the boiling water . I added a dash of salt to the water to keep the noodles from sticking to each other , then with a wooden spoon , I began to gently stir the water , salt and noodles after two minutes of cooking , I repositioned the noodles so that the parts that had not been submerged underwater could begin to boil in the water . Once all the noodles were submerged underwater , then I begin to stir the noodles in the water every 30 seconds in order to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot . As the noodles became more soft , they began to bend and curve , which is when I reduced the heat from high to medium in order to prevent over cooking the noodles . After about eight minutes of cooking , I checked the noodle to see if it was hard or soft . Once I saw that the noodles were soft enough to be pinched easily , I turned the heat completely off , remove the sauce pot from the heat 's , and drain the water from the noodles by emptying the entire pot into a strainer that is situated inside the sink . After I emptied the pots , and the water drained out of the strain , all that is left is the noodles , which are ready to be used in a pasta dish such as spaghetti . Question: How did the noodles change? Option1: the noodles stayed hard Option2: the noodles became soft
Output (English): the noodles became soft
