Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I looked over at my alarm clock to see what time it was . The hands on the clock said that it should be 7:30 at night , but it was still the middle of the afternoon . I figured the cause of this problem was either that the clock was broken , incorrectly , set , or out of batteries . Upon inspection , I could tell that the clock was n't running so I 'd try changing out the batteries . I removed the cover panel , took out the old batteries , and replaced them with fresh batteries of the same size . Then I put the battery cover back on and re-adjusted the time . Once the clock was set , I checked back on it in 10 minutes to see that the time was correctly moving forward . It worked so I disposed of the old batteries and called it a day . Question: What were they trying to see? Option1: the correct time Option2: to see if the batteries were missing
Output (English): the correct time
