### Dataset Summary

Examples taken from the Winograd Schema Challenge modified to ensure that answers are a single word from the context.
This Modified Winograd Schema Challenge (MWSC) ensures that scores are neither inflated nor deflated by oddities in phrasing.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)

### Languages

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

#### default

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 0.02 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 0.04 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 0.06 MB

An example looks as follows:
```
{
    "sentence": "The city councilmen refused the demonstrators a permit because they feared violence.",
    "question": "Who feared violence?",
    "options": [ "councilmen", "demonstrators" ],
    "answer": "councilmen"
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### default
- `sentence`: a `string` feature.
- `question`: a `string` feature.
- `options`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `answer`: a `string` feature.

### Data Splits

| name  |train|validation|test|
|-------|----:|---------:|---:|
|default|   80|        82| 100|
