Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I had a button pop off of my favorite blue shirt last week . I would n't be able to wear it with a button missing ; it would look rather silly . Luckily , the shirt had some extra buttons sewed on the inside . I took the button and put it on a sheet of white paper so it would stand out and I would n't lose it . Then I took a needle and thread . I guided the thread through the eye of the needle . Once it was through , I put the button against my shirt and went in and out with the needle and thread , alternating which hole I was piercing . I did this many many times , until I was confident the button would be on snugly . Then I tied off the thread with a stout knot to keep it in place , and cut away the extra thread . My shirt was ready to wear again . Question: What was the thread holding? Option1: button Option2: shirt
Output (English): button
