Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Yesterday , I realized the plants on my bookshelf were beginning to wilt . I touched the leaves of the largest plant , and it felt squishy between my fingertips . I can never remember if wilting plants mean water or light is needed , so I decided to start with the easiest at the moment - water . I grabbed my small tin watering can and filled it up at my kitchen sink , spilling a little on the counter . Back in the living room , I tipped the can over each of the plants , offering them water in direct proportion to their sizes . They did n't immediately perk up . Instead , the water sort of pooled around the base of each plant , like a tiny little rain puddle in a pot . Still , the plants did not perk up . I am hopeful they will begin to be less wilted by tomorrow ! Question: The pools disappeared slowly when Option1: After filling water can Option2: the writer watered the plants
Output (English): the writer watered the plants
