Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Yesterday , I noticed that my old pair of pants was worn , so I made the decision to go buy new ones . I went to my car , buckled myself in , and then drove to the mall where I found a parking spot very close to the door . After unbuckling and leaving the car I walked to the mall and a woman walking in front of me held the door open for me . A big sign in front of the store said that they were having a buy one get one free sale on select styles of Jeans , and I was excited because now I could get two new pairs of pants . I found a couple of styles of pants that I liked hanging on the rack and went to the dressing room to see how they fit . Thankfully , both pair fit well and I did n't have to go look for more pants on the sale rack . The line moved quickly and I waited patiently until it was my turn to be helped . The girl behind the register scanned the tags on my pants and told me the total of my purchase . I paid for them by sliding my card through the reader while she put the pants in a plastic bag . A receipt printed out and the cashier handed it to me , smiled , and then thanked me for shopping at the store . Question: What was at the counter waiting to check out? Option1: the protagonist Option2: sweaters
Output (English): the protagonist
