Teacher:In this task, you're given a statement and three sentences as choices. Your job is to determine the neutral choice based on your inference from the statement and your commonsense knowledge. The neutral choice is a sentence that neither agrees nor disagrees with the statement. Indicate your answer as '1', '2', or '3', corresponding to the choice number of the selected sentence. If sentence X agrees with sentence Y, one's correctness follows from the other one. If sentence X disagrees with sentence Y, they can not be correct at the same time.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Statement: Since the rule was determined to be potentially economically significant,1 HUD prepared an Economic Analysis, which was also reviewed by OMB. Choices: 1. The rule failed to pass and therefore it was unnecessary to complete any economic assessments or testing, which saved a bundle of money for HUD. 2. The economic impact of this particular rule would have come down on animal testing labs, which keep their costs lowered by not inflating the amount of animal testing regulations that are already present in the scientific field. 3. An OMB-reviewed Economic Analysis was performed to assess the impact of the new rule on the economy, which has been the subject of previous HUD investigations and analyses.
