Q: 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.
Statement: All Egyptian temples would appear vividly colored much like the tombs in the Valley of the Kings but little color has survived on most of them due to the effects of sunlight and smoke damage caused by fires when the temples were used as dwellings. Choices: 1. The tombs in the Valley of the Kings are examples of Egyptian temples would appear vividly colored. 2. The vivid colors of the Egyptian temples have remained as such over all these years. 3. Sunlight and smoke damage faded the vivid colors, but the colors would have faded naturally over time anyway.
