Task: Question Answering
Input (English): To control the quality, we ensured that a single annotator annotates maximum 120 headlines (this protects the annotators from reading too many news headlines and from dominating the annotations). Secondly, we let only annotators who geographically reside in the U.S. contribute to the task.

We test the annotators on a set of $1,100$ test questions for the first phase (about 10% of the data) and 500 for the second phase. Annotators were required to pass 95%. 
 Question: How is quality of annotation measured?
Output (English): Annotators went through various phases to make sure their annotations did not deviate from the mean.
