Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: The family and I decided it was time to paint a wall in the hallway a new color . We talked about it and everyone suggested their favorite color . After a short conversation we decided on turquoise . We went to the display with the colored squares and found the one that was closest to the color we had picked and handed that square to the person working so she could mix it for us . When we had the paint it was time to get other supplies . We bought a paint roller with a tray and two paint brushes and some tape to keep everything neat . We got in the car and went back home . We used the tape to separate the area to be painted so that the color would not get anywhere we did not want it . Everyone took turns painting the wall . We rested when we were finished to give the paint time to dry . Question: What was set up before passing out brushes? Option1: The used the tape to separate the area Option2: They got the paint
Output (English): The used the tape to separate the area
