Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: My alarm clock is not working . I think it 's the batteries . I have some extra batteries in the utility drawer . As I sit down at my desk , with the batteries , I notice the back of the alarm clock where the batteries are is crooked . I try to straighten that first but the alarm clock is still not working . I have to assume it must be the batteries . They look fine , so maybe they are just old . I place the new batteries in the alarm clock and I make sure they make contact with the metal parts and face the right direction . Check . I turn the on switch on and it lights up . All I have to do now is reset the time and I 'm good to go . Question: what were the batteries taken out for? Option1: to be replaced with new ones Option2: to throw out the clock
Output (English): to be replaced with new ones
