Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you're given a statement and three sentences as choices. Your job is to determine which sentence can be inferred from the statement. Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or have details that are not mentioned in the statement. Indicate your answer as 1,2, or 3 corresponding to the choice number of the selected sentence.
Example: Statement: Next to the MGM Grand you will find M and M World, four stories of merchandise and memorabilia dedicated to the candy that doesn't melt in your hand. Choices: 1. The candy has many fans who love its attractions. 2. There's four stories of memorabilia dedicated to a candy. 3. That particular candy melts and becomes difficult to eat.
Output: 2
The candy may or may not be popular, and does not melt and become difficult to eat. Hence the second choice is the only one that fully agrees with the statement.

New input case for you: Statement: While HCFA states that it has examined the options for lessening the burden on small entities, since the statute does not allow for any exceptions to the aggregate per-beneficiary limitation based on the size of the entity, no regulatory relief can be provided for small entities. Choices: 1. The HCFA said that it explored possibilities for reducing burdens on small entities. 2. The HCFA says that there should be more options to lessen the burdens on small entities. 3. HCFA said that it did not examine the options.
Output:
1
