You are given a paragraph, with numbered sentences, and a question. Write the numbers of the sentences needed to answer the given question. Separate multiple sentence numbers with a comma (", "). E.g. "1, 2" would be the correct response if Sent 1 and Sent 2 are needed to answer the given question (do not include sentences that contain no information that is necessary to answer the question). Sort the sentence numbers in an increasing order (i.e., '1, 2', instead of '2, 1'). Your answer should not contain anything than the sentence numbers separated by a comma (e.g. '1, 2, 3, 4'). The given question requires more than one sentence to answer. So, your answer must contain at least one comma (", ").

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: For more than half a century, the Passaic County Legal Aid Society has fought on behalf of the county's poor, in disputes ranging from housing to child custody to public assistance.
Sent 2: But for the last several years it has often done that job poorly, according to state and federal officials.
Sent 3: And barring a long-shot legal victory, as of Jan. 1 the autonomous county office will be replaced by a new agency whose administrators will report to a director based in Jersey City.
Sent 4: Federal legal aid officials drew up the new service area uniting Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic counties in June, insisting the change will trim administrative costs without compromising services.
Sent 5: The Passaic County office and its supporters see it differently.
Sent 6: They say top decision-makers will be too far from the individuals and non-profit agencies that rely on the office for help.
Sent 7: And in a federal lawsuit, the agency's leadership argues that a merger would jeopardize its educational programs and minority hiring efforts, and that its imposition amounts to bureaucratic bullying by state and federal officials.
Sent 8: Those same officials have repeatedly accused the Passaic County office of mismanagement.
Sent 9: Reviews since 1995 have found evidence of shoddy accounting, poor morale, excessive staff turnover, and double counting of cases - and alleged that the office made limited efforts to rectify the problems.
Sent 10: At times in recent years, the office has received its state and federal funding on a month-to-month basis, which one federal official called "one step short of defunding."Sent 11: Leaders of the county agency, which employs 14 attorneys, five paralegals, and nine support staff at offices in Paterson and Wanaque, say officials have "greatly exaggerated" the office's problems, which they call mostly bureaucratic.
Sent 12: "Just let them argue that their [merger] plan makes sense," Maxim Thorne, the office's deputy director, said of the higher-level legal aid officials.
Sent 13: "They could never replicate our services or equal the accumulated value of this office."Sent 14: Over the summer, the office reapplied for a federal grant to serve Passaic County in the coming year.
Sent 15: But Legal Services Corp. in Washington rejected the application, saying it failed to address the service needs of the entire tri-county area - a requirement under the new rules.
Sent 16: By mid-December, the federal body is expected to award Passaic County's federal funding - about $385,000 this year - to Northeast New Jersey Legal Services, the tri-county agency.
Sent 17: State funds of about $1.6 million could follow, although Thorne noted the state appropriated $927,000 of that amount through June 2003.
Sent 18: The state Treasury Department's legal services representative did not return repeated calls for comment.

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: Electric charge is a physical property.
Sent 2: It occurs between particles or objects.
Sent 3: It causes them to attract or repel each other.
Sent 4: They do not even have to touch.
Sent 5: This is unlike the typical push or pull you may be familiar with.
Sent 6: All electric charge is based on the protons and electrons in atoms.
Sent 7: A proton has a positive electric charge.
Sent 8: An electron has a negative electric charge (see Figure below).
Sent 9: Forces on Charged Objects Most atoms are balanced electrically.
Sent 10: They have the same number of positive and negative charges.
Sent 11: Therefore, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
Sent 12: Neutrons do not matter as they have no charge.
Sent 13: When an object loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged.
Sent 14: There are now more protons than electrons inside the atom.
Sent 15: The lost electrons may remain free.
Sent 16: Or, they may attach to another object.
Sent 17: The new object now has more electrons than protons.
Sent 18: It then becomes negatively charged.
Question: How will increasing neutrons affect the particles charge?.
[EX A]: 6, 12.

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine.
Sent 2: If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine.
Sent 3: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea.
Sent 4: Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine.
Sent 5: No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order.
Sent 6: In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty.
Sent 7: In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved.
Sent 8: Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal.
Sent 9: "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said.
Sent 10: "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders?
Sent 11: That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?"Sent 12: Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail.
Sent 13: Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order.
Sent 14: Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases.
Sent 15: She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed.
Sent 16: West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state.
Sent 17: "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said.
Sent 18: "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred.
Question: What kind of message is being sent to those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders?.
