TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a conversation. You need to write a question with three choices for the conversation. Your question should be answerable based on the conversation and only have one correct answer. Note that you don't need to answer your question. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".
PROBLEM: W: Oh, where are we going? M: I want to show you something. W: I know, but what is it? M: A farm. It's just down this road. It's a small place, but at least it would be our own. W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm? M: It isn't very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn't have to pay very much right now. W: Is there a house on the place? M: A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself. W: OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden? M: There is about half an acre around the house. That's plenty of space. W: Then we can grow our own fresh vegetables. And maybe keep a few chickens, couldn't we? M: Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food. W: What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place? M: Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes. W: Potatoes? There are a lot of work. M: We are used to hard work, aren't we? W: Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It seems like a dream. M: I think we've saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too.
