Task: Question Answering
Input (English): I crossed paths with a pool of despair , it looked so still and dark , so deep and wide . First I was only knee - deep , but a heaviness dragged me in . It was dark , it was still , and it was cold . I scrambled out of the depths of despair , tried to shake off the muck .
Output (English): Why did the writer scramble out of the depths of despair ?
