TASK DEFINITION: You need to read the given passage and construct a question about the information present in the passage. The question should be answerable from the passage. Most importantly, only those questions are allowed whose answers cannot be determined from a single sentence. Do not generate questions that require only a single sentence to answer. Instead, try to combine two sentences and create a question from that combination. Do not create open-ended questions, i.e., the answers to them cannot be found precisely from the information provided in the passage.
PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: You may wonder if there are other examples of static discharge.
Sent 2: The answer is yes.
Sent 3: Lightning is a form of static discharge.
Sent 4: It is much more dramatic than what happens between you and the door knocker, but it is the same principle.
Sent 5: You can see how it occurs in the following diagram and animation.
Sent 6: You have no doubt seen lightning in a rainstorm.
Sent 7: What does lighting have to do with static electricity?
Sent 8: As it turns out, everything!
Sent 9: During a rainstorm, clouds develop regions of different charges.
Sent 10: This happens due to the movement of air molecules, water drops, and ice particles.
Sent 11: The negative charges are concentrated at the base of the clouds.
Sent 12: The positive charges are concentrated at the top.
Sent 13: The negative charges repel electrons on the ground below.
Sent 14: The ground then becomes positively charged.
Sent 15: Over time the differences increase.
Sent 16: Eventually the electrons are discharged.
Sent 17: This is what we see as lightning.
Sent 18: You can watch an awesome slow-motion lightning strike below.

SOLUTION: How does ground become positively charged?

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: After the 1998 embassy bombings, the U.S. government tried to develop a clearer picture of Bin Ladin's finances.
Sent 2: A U.S. interagency group traveled to Saudi Arabia twice, in 1999 and 2000, to get information from the Saudis about their understanding of those finances.
Sent 3: The group eventually concluded that the oft-repeated assertion that Bin Ladin was funding al Qaeda from his personal fortune was in fact not true.
Sent 4: The officials developed a new theory: al Qaeda was getting its money elsewhere, and the United States needed to focus on other sources of funding, such as charities, wealthy donors, and financial facilitators.
Sent 5: Ultimately, although the intelligence community devoted more resources to the issue and produced somewhat more intelligence, it remained difficult to distinguish al Qaeda's financial transactions among the vast sums moving in the international financial system.
Sent 6: The CIA was not able to find or disrupt al Qaeda's money flows.
Sent 7: The NSC staff thought that one possible solution to these weaknesses in the intelligence community was to create an all-source terrorist-financing intelligence analysis center.
Sent 8: Clarke pushed for the funding of such a center at Treasury, but neither Treasury nor the CIA was willing to commit the resources.
Sent 9: Within the United States, various FBI field offices gathered intelligence on organizations suspected of raising funds for al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.
Sent 10: By 9/11, FBI agents understood that there were extremist organizations operating within the United States supporting a global jihadist movement and with substantial connections to al Qaeda.
Sent 11: The FBI operated a web of informants, conducted electronic surveillance, and had opened significant investigations in a number of field offices, including New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Diego, and Minneapolis.
Sent 12: On a national level, however, the FBI never used the information to gain a systematic or strategic understanding of the nature and extent of al Qaeda fundraising.
Sent 13: Treasury regulators, as well as U.S. financial institutions, were generally focused on finding and deterring or disrupting the vast flows of U.S. currency generated by drug trafficking and high-level international fraud.
Sent 14: Large-scale scandals, such as the use of the Bank of New York by Russian money launderers to move millions of dollars out of Russia, captured the attention of the Department of the Treasury and of Congress.
Sent 15: Before 9/11, Treasury did not consider terrorist financing important enough to mention in its national strategy for money laundering.

SOLUTION: WHERE DID THE FBI CONDUCT ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE?

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Before 9/11, the CIA did not invest in developing a robust capability to conduct paramilitary operations with U.S. personnel.
Sent 2: It relied on proxies instead, organized by CIA operatives without the requisite military training.
Sent 3: The results were unsatisfactory.
Sent 4: Whether the price is measured in either money or people, the United States cannot afford to build two separate capabilities for carrying out secret military operations, secretly operating standoff missiles, and secretly training foreign military or paramilitary forces.
Sent 5: The United States should concentrate responsibility and necessary legal authorities in one entity.
Sent 6: The post-9/11 Afghanistan precedent of using joint CIA-military teams for covert and clandestine operations was a good one.
Sent 7: We believe this proposal to be consistent with it.
Sent 8: Each agency would concentrate on its comparative advantages in building capabilities for joint missions.
Sent 9: The operation itself would be planned in common.
Sent 10: The CIA has a reputation for agility in operations.
Sent 11: The military has a reputation for being methodical and cumbersome.
Sent 12: We do not know if these stereotypes match current reality; they may also be one more symptom of the civil-military misunderstandings we described in chapter 4.
Sent 13: It is a problem to be resolved in policy guidance and agency management, not in the creation of redundant, overlapping capabilities and authorities in such sensitive work.
Sent 14: The CIA's experts should be integrated into the military's training, exercises, and planning.
Sent 15: To quote a CIA official now serving in the field:"One fight, one team."Sent 16: Finally, to combat the secrecy and complexity we have described, the overall amounts of money being appropriated for national intelligence and to its component agencies should no longer be kept secret.
Sent 17: Congress should pass a separate appropriations act for intelligence, defending the broad allocation of how these tens of billions of dollars have been assigned among the varieties of intelligence work.
Sent 18: The specifics of the intelligence appropriation would remain classified, as they are today.

SOLUTION:
When did the United States concentrate responsibility and necessary legal authorities as a joint CIA-military team?
