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.

Input: Consider Input: Passage: This drop was caused by a combination of sharply lower petroleum prices in world markets and voluntary production cuts in Brunei. The GDP recovered somewhat since 1986, growing by 12% in 1987, 1% in 1988, and 9% in 1989. In recent years, GDP growth was 3.5% in 1996, 4.0% in 1997, 1.0% in 1998, and an estimated 2.5% in 1999. However, the 1999 GDP was still only about $4.5 billion, well below the 1980 peak.
Question: Did the GDP grow by more in 1987 or 1988?

Output: date


Input: Consider Input: Passage: Jordan played three seasons for coach Dean Smith at the North Carolina Tar Heels mens basketball. As a freshman, he was a member of the 1981–82 North Carolina Tar Heels mens basketball team in 1982 NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Tournament. Jordan joined the Bulls in 1984–85 NBA season as the 1984 NBA draft draft (sports) pick. He quickly emerged as a league star and entertained crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, demonstrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in Slam Dunk Contests, earned him the nicknames Air Jordan and His Airness. He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991 NBA Finals, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 NBA Finals and 1993 NBA Finals, securing a "three-peat". Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball before the beginning of the 1993–94 NBA season, and started a new career in Minor League Baseball, he returned to the Bulls in 1994–95 NBA season and led them to three additional championships in 1996 NBA Finals, 1997 NBA Finals, and 1998 NBA Finals, as well as a then-record List of NBA teams by single season win percentage in the 1995–96 NBA season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1998–99 NBA season, but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Wizards.
Question: What year did Jordan first play for the North Carolina Tar Heels?

Output: date


Input: Consider Input: Passage: In 2001, Dominican livestock included 187,000 goats and 106,000 sheep. There were also about 2.1 million head of cattle, 60% for beef and 40% for dairy. The hog population was decimated by African swine fever, decreasing from 400,000 in 1978 to 20,000 in 1979; by 2001, however, it was 565,000. Poultry is the main meat source because it is cheaper than beef or pork. Poultry production relies on imports of feed grain from the United States. In 2001, 203,000 tons of poultry meat were produced, along with 71,000 tons of beef and 420,000 tons of milk.
Question: Were there or hogs in 1978 or in 1979?


Output: date
