Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: This morning when I woke up , I noticed something was strange about my alarm clock . Instead of being loud , like normal , it was fairly faint , and changing volume on it 's own . The light was also flickering a lot on the time readout . First , I looked in my cabinet to see if I had any spare batteries . I did n't , so I drove to the grocery store to pick up some replacements . I bought two AA batteries , and returned home with them . I found my flat head screwdriver in my tool box , and used it to pry open the battery compartment on the bottom of my alarm clock . I then dislodged the old batteries with my fingers , and placed the new ones in the slots , with the positive and negative ends lining up appropriately . Question: When was the dying battery problem discovered? Option1: when it made a funny noise Option2: after going to the grocery store to pick up replacement batteries
Output (English): when it made a funny noise
