Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Today I did my laundry . I picked up all of the worn , dirty clothes off of the floor and placed them in the hamper . The hamper was very full . I decided to wash only dark colored clothes today . I put these clothes in a laundry bag and took them to the laundry room in my apartment building , along with a bottle of laundry detergent and a roll of quarters , since the washing machine costs $ 2 and you can only pay with quarters . Luckily , there was a washing machine available to use . Then I placed the clothes in the machine . I selected the button for `` cold water , '' so the colors would not bleed while they were being washed . I inserted the quarters into the slot and pressed the `` start '' button . Question: Who separated the clothing? Option1: The dry cleaner. Option2: the author
Output (English): the author
