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: On to the Twentieth Century: The British extended their control over the peninsula by putting together the whole panoply of colonial administrationcivil service, public works, judiciary force, police force, post office, education, and land regulationwith teams of British administrators, teachers, engineers, and doctors to go with it.
Sent 2: At the same time, the tin industry, dominated by Chinese using labor-intensive methods in the 19th century, passed increasingly into Western hands, who employed the modern technology of gravel pumps and mining dredges.
Sent 3: Petroleum had been found in northern Borneo, at Miri, and in Brunei, and the Anglo-Dutch Shell company used Singapore as its regional depot for its oil supplies and exports.
Sent 4: But the major breakthrough for the Malay economy was the triumph of rubber, when Singapore's new garden director, Henry Ridle ("Rubber Ridley" to his friends, "Mad Ridley" to all doubting Thomases) had developed new planting and tapping methods and painstakingly spread his faith in rubber around the peninsula.
Sent 5: World demand increased with the growth of the motor-car and electrical industries, and sky-rocketed during World War I. By 1920, Malaya was producing 53 percent of the world's rubber, which had overtaken tin as its main source of income.
Sent 6: The Malay ruling class again took a back seat.
Sent 7: Together with effective control of the rubber and tin industries, the British now firmly held the reins of government.
Sent 8: The sultans were left in charge of local and religious affairs, content with their prestige, prosperity, and security.
Sent 9: The census of 1931 served as an alarm signal for the Malay national consciousness.
Sent 10: Bolstered by a new influx of immigrants to meet the rubber and tin booms of the 1920s, non-Malays now slightly outnumbered the indigenous population.
Sent 11: The Great Depression of 1929 stepped up ethnic competition in the shrinking job market, and nationalism developed to safeguard Malay interests against the Chinese and Indians rather than the British imperial authority.
Sent 12: Though hampered by the peninsula's division into the States and the Straits Settlements, relatively conservative Muslim intellectuals and community leaders came together at the Pan-Malayan Malay Congress in Kuala Lumpur in 1939.
Sent 13: In Singapore the following year, they were joined by representatives from Sarawak and Brunei.
Sent 14: Teachers and journalists urged the revival of the common Malay-Indonesian consciousness, split by the Anglo-Dutch dismemberment of the region in the 19th century.
Sent 15: This spirit became a factor in the gathering clouds of war.
Question: What caused the Malay ruling class to take a back seat?.

SOLUTION: 5, 6.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: States like Minnesota and New Jersey spend three times more than California to meet the poor's legal needs, Connecticut and Massachusetts spend more than twice as much, and countries like England, Canada, Australia, Scotland and New Zealand spend anywhere from two to 14 times more proportionately than California, despite the fact that California has the world's sixth largest economy.
Sent 2: The report says the state would need to triple its combined public and private investment in legal services to adequately meet the legal needs of low-income Californians.
Sent 3: The 1996 welfare reform legisla tion, in particular, brought dramatic changes to the lives of those living in poverty, for while fewer people now receive welfare benefits, those who left welfare to work are still poor.
Sent 4: And the legal issues they face "have become more numerous and complex," the report said.
Sent 5: "Parents who found only low-paying jobs without health benefits did not improve the well-being of their children.
Sent 6: Women who entered the workforce in low-skilled positions with no opportunity to acquire marketable skills lack realistic long-term options.
Sent 7: Obstacles to employment such as lack of child care and transportation, domestic violence and job discrimination raise a host of new legal issues."Sent 8: Those issues revolve around an extensive universe of problems, including housing, education, domestic violence, immigration, employment, grandparent guardianships, bankruptcy and consumer debt, veterans' issues, elder abuse and home equity fraud, the report said.
Sent 9: To meet all those needs, there is only one legal aid lawyer for every 10,000 poor Californians.
Sent 10: Despite this bleak picture, the state's civil justice community has taken significant steps to close the gap between need and services in the past five years: The legislature and the governor established the Equal Access Fund, which has provided $10 million annually since 1999 for more than 100 local legal services programs.
Sent 11: Access to the courts has been enhanced through a variety of self-help options, including online assistance in every county, a system of family law facilitators, increased funding for alternative dispute resolution and simplified forms and procedures.
Sent 12: The Judicial Council is addressing language barriers by increasing the availability of qualified interpreters and translating forms and instructions into Spanish, Vietnam-ese, Korean and Chinese.
Sent 13: Legal services programs have been strengthened by offering a wide range of services, including self-help clinics and hotlines and working relationships with social services agencies to meet all of a client's needs.
Sent 14: Still, when more than 70 percent of the poor's legal needs are not being met, much remains to be done, the report points out.
Sent 15: It recommends adding to the access fund, increasing both the number of pro bono hours and financial contributions from attorneys, improved assistance for unrepresented litigants and access to an attorney for those who require one, and development of a statewide plan to distribute legal services more evenly throughout the state to insure that the rural population also is served.
Sent 16: "I know my fe llow judges want to do justice and not inflict injustice," observed Justice Earl Johnson of the California Court of Appeal, who chaired the committee that researched and wrote the report.
Sent 17: "More than anyone, they know it can be nearly impossible to do the former and avoid the latter in a one-sided contest where only one litigant has a lawyer."Sent 18: "Our whole society is harmed when access and fairness are denied," said Londen.
Question: Since the 1996 welfare reform legislation was enacted, have legal issues for the poor become fewer?.

SOLUTION: 3, 4.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Alexander's body was laid in a gold anthropoid sarcophagus that was filled with honey, which was in turn placed in a gold casket.
Sent 2: According to Aelian, a seer called Aristander foretold that the land where Alexander was laid to rest "would be happy and unvanquishable forever".
Sent 3: Perhaps more likely, the successors may have seen possession of the body as a symbol of legitimacy, since burying the prior king was a royal prerogative.
Sent 4: While Alexander's funeral cortege was on its way to Macedon, Ptolemy seized it and took it temporarily to Memphis.
Sent 5: His successor, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, transferred the sarcophagus to Alexandria, where it remained until at least late Antiquity.
Sent 6: Ptolemy IX Lathyros, one of Ptolemy's final successors, replaced Alexander's sarcophagus with a glass one so he could convert the original to coinage.
Sent 7: The recent discovery of an enormous tomb in northern Greece, at Amphipolis, dating from the time of Alexander the Great has given rise to speculation that its original intent was to be the burial place of Alexander.
Sent 8: This would fit with the intended destination of Alexander's funeral cortege.
Sent 9: Pompey, Julius Caesar and Augustus all visited the tomb in Alexandria, where Augustus, allegedly, accidentally knocked the nose off.
Sent 10: Caligula was said to have taken Alexander's breastplate from the tomb for his own use.
Sent 11: Around AD 200, Emperor Septimius Severus closed Alexander's tomb to the public.
Sent 12: His son and successor, Caracalla, a great admirer, visited the tomb during his own reign.
Sent 13: After this, details on the fate of the tomb are hazy.
Sent 14: The so-called "Alexander Sarcophagus", discovered near Sidon and now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, is so named not because it was thought to have contained Alexander's remains, but because its bas-reliefs depict Alexander and his companions fighting the Persians and hunting.
Sent 15: It was originally thought to have been the sarcophagus of Abdalonymus (died 311 BC), the king of Sidon appointed by Alexander immediately following the battle of Issus in 331.
Sent 16: However, more recently, it has been suggested that it may date from earlier than Abdalonymus' death.
Question: What known alterations were made to Alexander's tomb?.
