TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you need to write an incorrect answer to the given question. Along with the question, you are also given the correct answer(s) and the associated paragraph. An incorrect answer should be closely related to the content of the paragraph and/or the question but will not truthfully answer the question. Your incorrect answers should be similar to the given correct answer such that it will pose a challenge for students to distinguish the two. A good incorrect answer should prevent those who skip the paragraph from answering the question.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: American Airlines Flight 11: FAA Awareness.
Sent 2: Although the Boston Center air traffic controller realized at an early stage that there was something wrong with American 11, he did not immediately interpret the plane's failure to respond as a sign that it had been hijacked.
Sent 3: At 8:14, when the flight failed to heed his instruction to climb to 35,000 feet, the controller repeatedly tried to raise the flight.
Sent 4: He reached out to the pilot on the emergency frequency.
Sent 5: Though there was no response, he kept trying to contact the aircraft.
Sent 6: At 8:21, American 11 turned off its transponder, immediately degrading the information available about the aircraft.
Sent 7: The controller told his supervisor that he thought something was seriously wrong with the plane, although neither suspected a hijacking.
Sent 8: The supervisor instructed the controller to follow standard procedures for handling a "no radio" aircraft.
Sent 9: The controller checked to see if American Airlines could establish communication with American 11.
Sent 10: He became even more concerned as its route changed, moving into another sector's airspace.
Sent 11: Controllers immediately began to move aircraft out of its path, and asked other aircraft in the vicinity to look for American 11.
Sent 12: At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11: American 11: We have some planes.
Sent 13: Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay.
Sent 14: We are returning to the airport.
Sent 15: The controller only heard something unintelligible; he did not hear the specific words "we have some planes."Sent 16: The next transmission came seconds later: American 11: Nobody move.
Sent 17: Everything will be okay.
Sent 18: If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane.
Question: Why did the FAA try to contact the aircraft?.

SOLUTION: To find out the demands.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The after-action review had treated the CIA as the lead agency for any offensive against al Qaeda, and the principals, at their March 10 meeting, had endorsed strengthening the CIA's capability for that role.
Sent 2: To the CTC, that meant proceeding with "The Plan," which it had put forward half a year earlier-hiring and training more case officers and building up the capabilities of foreign security services that provided intelligence via liaison.
Sent 3: On occasion, as in Jordan in December 1999, these liaison services took direct action against al Qaeda cells.
Sent 4: In the CTC and higher up, the CIA's managers believed that they desperately needed funds just to continue their current counterterrorism effort, for they reckoned that the millennium alert had already used up all of the Center's funds for the current fiscal year; the Bin Laden unit had spent 140 percent of its allocation.
Sent 5: Tenet told us he met with Berger to discuss funding for counterterrorism just two days after the principals' meeting.
Sent 6: While Clarke strongly favored giving the CIA more money for counterterrorism, he differed sharply with the CIA's managers about where it should come from.
Sent 7: They insisted that the CIA had been shortchanged ever since the end of the Cold War.
Sent 8: Their ability to perform any mission, counterterrorism included, they argued, depended on preserving what they had, restoring what they had lost since the beginning of the 1990s, and building from there-with across-the-board recruitment and training of new case officers, and the reopening of closed stations.
Sent 9: To finance the counterterrorism effort, Tenet had gone to congressional leaders after the 1998 embassy bombings and persuaded them to give the CIA a special supplemental appropriation.
Sent 10: Now, in the aftermath of the millennium alert, Tenet wanted a boost in overall funds for the CIA and another supplemental appropriation specifically for counterterrorism.
Sent 11: To Clarke, this seemed evidence that the CIA's leadership did not give sufficient priority to the battle against Bin Laden and al Qaeda.
Sent 12: He told us that James Pavitt, the head of the CIA's Directorate of Operations, "said if there's going to be money spent on going after Bin Laden, it should be given to him.
Sent 13: My view was that he had had a lot of money to do it and a long time to do it, and I didn't want to put more good money after bad."Sent 14: The CIA had a very different attitude: Pavitt told us that while the CIA's Bin Laden unit did"extraordinary and commendable work," his chief of station in London "was just as much part of the al Qaeda struggle as an officer sitting in [the Bin Laden unit]."Sent 15: The dispute had large managerial implications, for Clarke had found Ailies in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Question: How were liaisons involved in "The Plan" against al Qaeda cells?.

SOLUTION: They provided fund for the plans.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Dam Good Luck: From the beginning, Las Vegas was built to serve travelers.
Sent 2: The railroad needed a way station, and Las Vegas was the place.
Sent 3: Growth continued for ten years, and by 1915 the town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing populationmany of whom worked in the railroad repair shop.
Sent 4: But such heady progress would soon come to a halt.
Sent 5: The growing competition in rail transport resulted in Union Pacific buying the Los AngelesSalt Lake line.
Sent 6: Union Pacific then consolidated its operations, eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility.
Sent 7: Additionally, Las Vegas had been made a part of Nevada's new Clark County in 1909, a year when the legislature also outlawed gambling.
Sent 8: These unfortunate circumstances threatened to relegate Las Vegas to the status of a small desert community that could no longer support its 3000 residents.
Sent 9: But the southwest's growing need for water, combined with Las Vegas's fortuitous proximity to the Colorado River, would give Las Vegas a second chance to achieve prosperity.
Sent 10: Construction on Hoover Dam (originally Boulder Dam, subsequently renamed for the president who authorized the project) began in 1931 in a canyon 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Las Vegas.
Sent 11: Providing an influx of $165 million to the southwestern economy, Hoover Dam played a major role in preventing Las Vegas from drying up, both financially and literally.
Sent 12: Not only did it create jobs, but it also created Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that today provides water to all of southern Nevada.
Sent 13: More Government Help: The construction of Hoover Dam did not single-handedly save Las Vegas, however.
Sent 14: The state legislature helped as well, by legalizing gambling in 1931 and thus solidifying the future of the town, though legislators and residents could never have known this at the time.
Sent 15: The hordes of people who attended Hoover Dam's 1935 dedication set the city's now-formidable public relations machine into action.
Sent 16: They went to work on what has become one of the lengthiest citywide tourism campaigns ever attempted.
Sent 17: It didn't take long for the city to establish itself as a wild-West town with an "anything goes" attitude.
Sent 18: Vices outlawed or heavily controlled elsewhere were legal here, available any hour of any day (or night).
Question: What town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing population by 1915?.

SOLUTION:
Salt lake.
