TASK DEFINITION: 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 (", ").
PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: For much of the world, the Algarve is synonymous with Portugal, yet the Portuguese will tell you the exact opposite: the region has little in common with the rest of the country.
Sent 2: The southern stretch of coast is more reminiscent of a North African landscape than a European one.
Sent 3: It has no cosmopolitan cities, like Lisbon and Porto, which are farther north.
Sent 4: Most of Portugal is known for quaint towns, medieval castles, and grand palaces.
Sent 5: The Algarve is more recognizable for impenetrable blocks of tourist apartments, hotels, and meticulously manicured golf courses.
Sent 6: And beaches.
Sent 7: Think Algarve and the mind pictures long, glorious stretches of golden sands, secluded coves framed by odd ochre-colored rock formations, and deep green waters.
Sent 8: With about 160 km (100 miles) of coastline, Portugal's southern province is one of Europe's premier beach destinations.
Sent 9: The occasionally chilly ocean is the Atlantic, but the Algarve has a sultry Mediterranean feel.
Sent 10: Its consistent climate is the best in Portugal, and one of the kindest in the world: more than 250 days of sunshine a yearmore than almost any other international resort area.
Sent 11: The moderating effect of the Gulf Stream produces a fresh springtime breeze throughout winter, and in late January and February, white almond blossoms blanket the fields.
Sent 12: In summer the heat is intense but rarely unbearable, and regardless, beautiful beaches and innumerable pools are always just a dive away.
Sent 13: Magnificent year-round weather has made the Algarve a huge destination for sporting vacations.
Sent 14: Superb golf facilities aboundseveral with tees dramatically clinging to cliffs and fairways just skirting the edge of the oceanand horseback riding, tennis, big-game fishing, sailing, and windsurfing are immensely popular.
Sent 15: Sports, beaches and hospitable weathernot to mention easily organized package vacationsare surely the reasons the Algarve receives as many visitors as the rest of Portugal in its entirety.
Sent 16: But it's not just international tourists that descend on the Algarve; many Portuguese from Lisbon and elsewhere in the north have holiday homes and spend their summer vacations here.
Sent 17: The coast is neatly divided into the rugged Barlavento to the west and the flat beauty of Sotavento to the east.
Sent 18: West is where you'll find the famous orange cliffs and surreal eroded rock stacks.
Question: Which region of Portugal gets the most sunshine on an average year?.

SOLUTION: 9, 10.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Thelma James was a prime candidate for a real estate ripoff: She is 68, has precious little money and can't read or write.
Sent 2: "I won't lie to you.
Sent 3: I was so-o-o excited," the widow and former duplex dweller said of the purchase of her first home, a sagging frame structure on Snowden.
Sent 4: "I was glad to get me a house."Sent 5: When James realized she had been swindled she turned to Memphis Area Legal Services, which represented her in a lawsuit.
Sent 6: Now, James's monthly house notes have dropped from $796 - more than twice her monthly income - to an affordable $247.
Sent 7: Some of the people who took advantage of her through a questionable loan program were sent to jail.
Sent 8: "I don't know what I would have done without Legal Services," said James.
Sent 9: "They solved a lot of my problems."Sent 10: James is one of more than 3,000 clients served last year by MALS, which provides assistance for civil matters, such as domestic abuse and family-related problems, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income, veterans, housing and consumer fraud cases.
Sent 11: Like James, most clients are elderly or female.
Sent 12: Some are handicapped.
Sent 13: Some need medical care or veteran's benefits.
Sent 14: Some are trying to escape eviction or an abusive marriage.
Sent 15: And 87 percent live at or below poverty level.
Sent 16: Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton recently said Legal Services is important for those who, because of poverty or other struggles in life, think justice is an empty word.
Sent 17: "They must be given reason to believe that the law is for them too," said Wharton, a former executive director of MALS.
Sent 18: But MALS faces a funding crunch next year, brought on by a $200,000 shortfall from three revenue sources.
Question: Does MALS serve clients who need medical care or veteran's benefits?.

SOLUTION: 10, 13.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The "visual of a billboard and a narration" is viewed by you as evidence that Moore is trying to somehow tie the two events together, when in reality, it is quite obvious that he does it to separate the introduction of Heston from his speech in Denver.
Sent 2: Moore is a professional filmmaker -- he concentrates on maximum impact of each of the statements he cites, and to accomplish that effect, uses subtle interludes instead of long-winded introductions.
Sent 3: This is a common technique, but because conservative readers are not familiar with the basics of filmmaking, they believe critics who claim that he is "distorting" the interview.
Sent 4: What he does is standard filmmaking practice.
Sent 5: The same goes for the interview which follows.
Sent 6: Moore's critics would expect us to have him quote Heston in his entirety, have him present fully the PR that the NRA has used to justify its rally in Denver for reasons of "balance".
Sent 7: The NRA was fully aware of the scandal it would cause through its rally and decided to push on because they believed to have enough media support to successfully do so.
Sent 8: They were right.
Sent 9: You claim that there was "no way to change location, since you have to give advance notice of that to the members, and there were upwards of 4,000,000 members."Sent 10: 10 days are more than enough to give advance warning of a change in location or date, had the NRA really wanted to.
Sent 11: It is probably correct that their primary reason for not doing so was to save money, not to piss off the victims of Colubmine.
Sent 12: That does not change the fact that they did just that.
Sent 13: Moore presents the most important part of the speech to back up this point and ignores the fluff.
Sent 14: This is what good documentary filmmaking is about.
Sent 15: And here the critics again ignore important evidence: When Heston mentions the mayor of Denver, the crowd boos loudly.
Sent 16: Heston maganimously holds up a hand to read the mayor's letter (only to explain in detail why he chose to ignore the request -- not mentioning at all the reasons you have given!).
Sent 17: This booing by the crowd, not mentioned with a single word in your transcript or your article, shows that the crowd was fully aware of the controversy they would cause by coming to Littleton after children were being killed there -- and they effectively said "Fuck you".
Sent 18: To say that they could not have done otherwise is a bold lie by Moore's critics.
Question: The victims and families of which incidents are upset by Heston's speech?.

SOLUTION:
11, 17.
