TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown an extract from a movie plot. You need to read the extract and create questions that can be answered from the extract. The questions should be well-formed and grammatically correct. The questions should be completely answerable from the given passage and should not require any external knowledge. Subjective questions are not allowed. Create questions that result in factoid answers. A simple rule of thumb to decide whether a question is factoid or not is to see if two different people with average reading/comprehension skills would come up with the same answer after reading the passage.
PROBLEM: After a nuclear war, the people of the planet Davanna developed an incurable blood disease. One of its citizens is sent to Earth to examine the blood of the humans for its usefulness in curing Davanna's dying race. The intruder (Paul Birch) has adopted the name Mr. Johnson, conspicuous only for his oversensitive ears and his sunglasses, which he wears even in the dark. The sunglasses hide his blank, white-eyed stare which kills his victims by burning through their eyes and into their brains.Johnson hires nurse Nadine (Beverly Garland) to look after him in his house. Her boss, Dr. Rochelle (William Roerick), is under Johnson's hypnotic control after finding out about his patient's peculiar blood cell structure. Johnson's plans are disturbed by the unexpected and sudden appearance of a woman from Davanna. She asks him for an immediate transfusion, because her physical condition is rapidly deteriorating. Johnson then breaks into Rochelle's office, but by accident he steals blood contaminated by Rabies. Later, the Davanna woman collapses in the street, dying at a hospital. Nadine's friend, police patrolman Harry Sherbourne (Morgan Jones), tries to question Dr. Rochelle about the dead woman, but he is unable to speak while under Johnson's mind control. As a precaution, now fearing discovery, Johnson kills Rochelle, but Nadine, also in danger, manages to call the police. Johnson then flees in his car, followed in close pursuit by patrolman Sherbourne on his motorcycle. When Sherbourne runs his siren, Johnson, suddenly distracted by the loud sound, drives his car off the road and dies in a crash.After Johnson's burial, Sherbourne and Nadine stand by his grave, which bears the inscription "Here lies a man who was not of this Earth". While Sherbourne expresses mild compassion for Johnson, whose driving force was the rescue of his planet and its dying populace, Nadine refuses to offer any kind of pity. They leave, but soon a mysterious man appears at the grave site. [Note 1] Like Johnson, he wears the same sunglasses and carries the same distinctive case containing transfusion equipment.

SOLUTION: Who refuses to offer any kind of pity at Johnson's grave?

PROBLEM: Set in the rural Pacific Northwest, a mysterious character named Silas Hendershot (Luke Perry) takes refuge from a severe thunderstorm in a farm owned by Tom (Steve Bacic) and Gillian Grady (Lauren Holly). He claims that he should stay and that they should watch after each other. Tom starts to dislike Silas and becomes suspicious of him and his past.Tom travels to the town police station to look for records regarding Silas after he finds a newspaper clipping about him and his father in the attic. The whole town is deserted with only flyers announcing a mandatory evacuation due to the storm. Tom is attacked by two deranged men after finding an article showing Silas as the actual killer of his father. Tom manages to fight the two men off and escape back to the farm.Upon reading the news article, it shows that Silas' father lost the farm because he was drunk and this enraged Silas so much that he hung him from a tree and left him there for days. When a bank foreclosure agent came by to foreclose on the house, Silas slit his throat as well. It is then found out that Silas has been in prison for the last 20 years related to the two deaths. Tom, after finding his wife half naked with Silas in the bathroom, kicks him out at gun point and tells him never to return.That night, Silas does return however, and starts a fire as a distraction outside which makes Tom run out to look for Silas. Silas traps a rope around Tom's neck and drags him up in the tree to hang, just like he did with his father. Silas then goes into the house to talk to Tom's wife and try to persuade her to become his new wife. Tom's son comes to his rescue and cuts Tom down from the tree moments before he loses consciousness. A battle then ensues between Tom and Silas. Tom burns Silas alive by pushing him into the fire Silas created as the distraction.After the battle, Tom and his family notice that the stars in the sky start to glow and then disappear just like it was depicted in the Bible. Throughout the movie, Silas makes several references to the upcoming "end of the world" as well as the "rapture" as an explanation to the disappearance of the town's population and the fact that armed looters roam it. Just before the end credits role, the entire universe is shown glowing very brightly then disappearing signifying the world's end.[2]

SOLUTION: What does Silas try to convince Tom's wife to do?
