Input: Consider Input: Sentence 1: Resistors connected end to end are said to be in series. Sentence 2: My preference was to reduce the range of the RIT circuit by placing a 22 K resistor in series with the high end of the RIT pot and a 10 K resistor in series with the low end.

Output: neutral

Input: Consider Input: Sentence 1: Test wells are drilled to monitor groundwater pollution. Sentence 2: It is therefore obvious that a groundwater monitoring approach based on vertical monitoring wells is not reliable for detecting landfill liner failure before widespread groundwater pollution occurs.

Output: neutral
