Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I had just moved into a new home . The house had been empty for quite a few years . As a result , there was a lot of remodeling to do . The walls were currently painted an ugly yellow and the paint was peeling . I went to the paint store and looked over the paint colors . I settled on a calming blue . I figured out how much paint I would need by calculating the area of the room , then I bought enough gallons to cover the job . After getting home , I spread a plastic drop cloth over the floor and got the paint ready . I took a brush and dipped it in the paint and spread it over the wall . This was going to look much better ! Question: What was done before painting the walls? Option1: They stripped the wallpaper Option2: spread a drop cloth
Output (English): spread a drop cloth
