In this task, you will be shown a short story with a beginning, two potential middles, and an ending. Your job is to choose the middle statement that makes the story coherent / plausible by writing "1" or "2" in the output. If both sentences are plausible, pick the one that makes most sense.

Beginning: I had just gotten a new job as a swim coach the day before. Middle 1: For I am a qualified coach, the whole swim team won. Middle 2: For lack of a qualified coach, the whole swim team resigned. Ending: No one was hurt but my bank account.
