"Yes, and" is a rule-of-thumb in improvisational comedy that suggests that a participant in a dialogue should accept what another participant has stated ("Yes") and then expand on that line of thought or context ("and..."). Given a prompt and two responses, identify which response is the type of "yes, and". Indicate your answer by 'Response 1' if the first response is correct, otherwise 'Response 2'.  Note that a "Yes, and" does not require someone explicitly saying 'yes, and...' as part of a dialogue exchange.

[EX Q]: Prompt: Yeah, I did notice that. But I wasn't going to say nothing because I've been criticized for having thoughts in the past.

 Response 2: He was so brave, trying to save our family.
[EX A]: Response 1

[EX Q]: Prompt: I haven't put any snow chains on the tires yet.

[EX A]: Response 2

[EX Q]: Prompt: This pen is really important to you? This was awhile ago.
