This task involves annotating the answer type to a given question that involve some kind of complex reasoning (including numerical reasoning). Note that the questions require looking at more than one part of the passage to answer. There are 3 possible answer types (i) spans, (ii) numbers and (iii) dates. If the answer can be found in the passage, label it as "span". If the answer is a number, label as "number". Similarly, label "date" if you think the answer to the given question is a date.

[Q]: Passage: As economists Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz have noted, the decade from 1869 to 1879 saw a growth of 3 percent per year in money national product, an outstanding real national product growth of 6.8 percent per year in this period and a rise of 4.5 percent per year in real product per capita. Even the alleged "monetary contraction" never took place, the money supply increasing by 2.7 percent per year in this period. From 1873 through 1878, before another spurt of monetary expansion, the total supply of bank money rose from $1.964 billion to $2.221 billion, a rise of 13.1 percent or 2.6 percent per year. In short, a modest but definite rise, and scarcely a contraction. Although per-capita nominal income declined very gradually from 1873 to 1879, that decline was more than offset by a gradual increase over the course of the next 17 years.
Question: When did the decline that was more than offset by a gradual increase for per-capita nominal income come to a stop?
[A]: date

[Q]: Passage: As of the census of 2000, there were 71,535 people, 29,466 households, and 18,416 families residing in the county.  The population density was 102 people per square mile (39/km²).  There were 31,939 housing units at an average density of 46 per square mile (18/km²).  The racial makeup of the county was 95.40% Race (United States Census), 0.89% Race (United States Census) or Race (United States Census), 0.29% Race (United States Census), 1.04% Race (United States Census), 0.03% Race (United States Census), 0.75% from Race (United States Census), and 1.61% from two or more races.  1.99% of the population were Race (United States Census) or Race (United States Census) of any race. 16.2% were of English people, 12.2% Irish people, 12.0% polish people, 10.2% French people, 7.0% French Canadian, 6.7% German people, 6.1% Italian people and 6.0% united states ancestry according to Census 2000.  Most of those claiming to be of "American" ancestry are actually of English descent, but have family that has been in the country for so long, in many cases since the early seventeenth century that they choose to identify simply as "American". 94.5% spoke English language and 1.8% Spanish language as their first language.
Question: Which ancestral group is larger: Irish or English?
[A]:
span
