Question: Passage: I gather the dirty clothes from the laundry hamper . I sort them into blacks , whites , and light and dark colors . This is so the different colors do n't run and stain my clothes while they 're being washed . I put laundry detergent and fabric softener into the drawer in the front of the washing machine . It has separate places where each ones goes . They help clean the clothes and make them soft . The washing machine starts to wash the clothes by filling with water and spinning them around . When the washing machine is done it drains the water and beeps to tell me to take out the clothes . I then put the clothes in the dryer . I put a dryer sheet in with the wet clothes to make them smell nice and stop them getting stacticky and sticking together . I choose the right setting on the dryer dial , and it dries the clothes by spinning them around and blowing hot air on them . I then fold them and put them away . Question: What did they close? Option1: the washing machine Option2: hamper

Answer:
the washing machine
