TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown an extract from a movie plot. You need to read the extract and create questions that can be answered from the extract. The questions should be well-formed and grammatically correct. The questions should be completely answerable from the given passage and should not require any external knowledge. Subjective questions are not allowed. Create questions that result in factoid answers. A simple rule of thumb to decide whether a question is factoid or not is to see if two different people with average reading/comprehension skills would come up with the same answer after reading the passage.
PROBLEM: Nero Wolfe is seated at a large dining table. Archie comes in and joins him. He tells Wolfe he is overdrawn. Wolfe chides Fritz for changing one of his favorite dishes, but Archie enjoys it.Pete Drossos, a young boy, comes to the door, wanting to see Wolfe. He says he has a case, and Archie invites him in. He is a window washer and has seen a woman being abducted. The woman had a golden spider earring. Wolfe instructs Archie to call Cramer to have him trace the car, and the boy leaves to get his lunch.The next day, Stebbins comes to the door. Pete has been killed in a hit and run by the same car. While they discuss the case, Pete's mother comes. Before he died, he had told her to give Wolfe all his money to have Wolfe find his killer.They use the small amount of money he had to run an ad in the paper attempting to draw in the murderer. When he sees it, Cramer comes to find out why, and they discuwo ss Matthew Birch, another man found dead in an alley the previous day. Evidence suggests the same car that killed Pete Drossos also killed Birch.A woman calls at the brownstone, in response to the ad. She is wearing the golden spider earrings. She refuses to give her name, but wants to see Pete. Wolfe forces her to reveal her name, Laura Fromm. She writes Wolfe a check for $10,000 for his advice and help, and promises to return the next day. She refuses to identify the woman in the car.The following day, two lawyers, Denis Horan and Bernard Levine, appear to tell Wolfe that Fromm has also been run over. They want Wolfe to return the money, but Wolfe plans to use it to find her murderer.Archie talks to Lon Cohen to review Fromm's last day. After Wolfe hears the report, he sends Archie to see Jean Estey. While they talk, Paul Cuffner comes in and throws Archie out, and he returns to the brownstone. Saul, Fred, and Orrie are there and he sends them out on assignments.Archie returns to Jean Estey. He pretends to be corrupt and asks her for $5,000 in return for hearing Wolfe's conversation with Laura Fromm. She responds by throwing her drink in his face. He then goes to see Mrs. Horan with the same offer, but she also rebuffs him. Finally, he makes the offer to Angela Wright, the head of an immigration organization that Mrs. Fromm worked with, but she also turns him down. Archie returns to the brownstone where Paul Cuffner is in conference with Wolfe. Cuffner wants to pay the $5,000 to hear the conversation.Orrie finds the jeweler who sold the golden spiders. He says he sold the earrings to Laura Fromm. Saul goes undercover to the immigration organization, where Angela Wright refers him to Denis Horan. Later, he is visited by a thug, who demands $10,000 to get him false papers. Saul follows him to a restaurant. Orrie joins Saul while Archie goes to Fred who is also undercover, meeting men about Birch. Fred is taken for a drive and Archie follows. Archie slips into a building where Fred has just been searched and his gun taken. Saul also comes in as they are about to work Fred over. After a short firefight the thugs are tied up, and they find proof of the immigrant blackmail schemes. Under torture, the thug reveals a password they used to get tips and that Birch had been the head of the organization. Horan also comes in, obviously familiar with the operation. After discussing the situation with Wolfe, they take the three to the brownstone.The next morning, Cramer comes in. As they talk, Horan asks to speak to Wolfe. In Cramer's presence, he explains that Mrs. Fromm had told him there were blackmailers in the organization, and that he wouldn't represent Egan. Egan is brought in, and in turn fingers Horan as the culprit.The whole cast of characters is brought to the brownstone, including a trio of policewomen in plainclothes.Wolfe reveals that the driver of the car who killed Pete Drossos was a woman, who had later overpowered Birch and killed him as well. He brings in a clothier who can identify a woman who had bought a man's suit recently. He identifies the killer.Later, Wolfe turns over $5,000 to Pete Drossos' mother, as he and Wolfe had arranged to be partners in the case.

SOLUTION: What is the name of young boy who comes to see Wolfe?

PROBLEM: A psychological thriller following a successful young married couple on their way to visit family. After a blowout on a desolate stretch of highway in Nevada, they head to the next town only to discover it long abandoned. Here they meet a mysterious stranger who seems to know decidedly more than he is sharing. In aiding their survival, he gradually undermines some of their most comfortable assumptions, playing wife off against husband. As they struggle to co-operate with this plain-speaking itinerant without compromising their own trusted partnership, his behaviour becomes more bizarre and accusatory. Surface reality starts to fragment, dark secrets threaten to emerge, and their secure lives start to unravel..."A simmering study of Old Testament style sin and retribution, Blood River plays like a slow burning Faulkner by way of Deliverance." (Todd Brown)

SOLUTION: How does the stranger undermine their relationship?

PROBLEM: Structure and content[edit]Mirror depicts the thoughts, emotions and memories of Alexei, or Alyosha (Ignat Daniltsev), and the world around him as a child, adolescent, and forty-year-old. The adult Alexei is only briefly glimpsed, but is present as a voice-over in some scenes including substantial dialogue. The structure of the film is discontinuous and nonchronological, without a conventional plot, and combines incidents, dreams and memories along with some news-reel footage. The film switches among three different time-frames: prewar (1935), war-time (1940s), and postwar (1960s or '70s).Mirror draws heavily on Tarkovsky's own childhood. Memories such as the evacuation from Moscow to the countryside during the war, a withdrawn father and his own mother, who actually worked as a proof-reader at a printing press, feature prominently.Synopsis[edit]The film opens with Alexei's adolescent son Ignat (also played by Ignat Daniltsev) switching on a televisor and watching the examination of a stammerer by a physician. After the opening titles roll, a scene is set in the countryside during prewar times in which Alexei's mother Maria (Margarita Terekhova) â also called Masha and Marusya â talks with a doctor (Anatoli Solonitsyn) who chances to be passing by. The exterior and interior of Alexei's grandfather's country house are seen. The young Alexei, his mother and sister watch as the family barn burns down. In a dream sequence Maria is washing her hair. Now in the postwar time-frame, Alexei is heard talking with his mother Maria on the phone while rooms of an apartment are seen. Switching back to the prewar time-frame, Maria is seen rushing frantically to her work-place as a proof-reader at a printing press. She is worrying about a mistake she may have overlooked, but is comforted by her colleague Liza (Alla Demidova), who then abruptly reduces her to tears with withering criticism. Back in postwar time, Alexei quarrels with his wife, Natalia (also played by Margarita Terekhova), who has divorced him and is living with their son Ignat. This is followed by news-reel scenes from the Spanish Civil War and of a balloon ascent in the U.S.S.R. In the next scene, set in Alexei's apartment, Ignat meets with a strange woman (Tamara Ogorodnikova) sitting at a table. At her request, Ignat reads a passage from a letter by Pushkin and receives a telephone call from his father Alexei. The strange woman vanishes mysteriously. Switching to war-time, the adolescent Alexei is seen undergoing rifle training with a dour instructor, intercut with news-reel footage of World War II and the Sino-Soviet border conflict. The reunion of Alexei and his sister with their father (Oleg Yankovsky) at war's end is shown. The film then returns to the quarrel between Alexei and his wife Natalia in the postwar sequence. Switching again to prewar time, vistas of the country house and surrounding countryside are followed by a dreamlike sequence showing a levitating Maria. The film then moves to the postwar time, showing Alexei apparently on his death-bed with a mysterious malady. The final scene plays in the prewar time-frame, showing a pregnant mother, Maria, intercut with scenes showing Maria young and old. (Old Maria is played by Tarkovsky's own mother, Maria Vishnyakova.)

SOLUTION:
In which phase does the quarrel arose between Alexei and Natalia?
