instruction:
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.
question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Three great battle cruisers had gone to the bottom--the _Queen Mary_, of 27,000 tons; the _Indefatigable_, of 18,750 tons, and the _Invincible_, of 17,250 tons.
Sent 2: Cruisers lost included the _Defense_, of 14,600 tons; the _Black Prince_; of 13,550 tons, and the _Warrior_, of 13,550 tons.
Sent 3: The giant battle cruiser _Marlborough,_ of 27,500 tons, had been badly damaged, as had the _Lion_ and other vessels.
Sent 4: The destroyers _Tipperary, Turbulent, Nestore, Alcaster, Fortune, Sparrow Hawk, Ardent_ and _Shark_ had been sunk.
Sent 5: Total losses ran high into the millions and in the number of men above 7,000.
Sent 6: The German losses had been less, but nevertheless, taking into consideration damage done to the effectiveness of the two fleets as a whole, the enemy had sustained the harder blow.
Sent 7: The British fleet still maintained control of the North Sea, while the Germans, because of their losses, had been deprived of a large part of the fighting strength of their fleet.
Sent 8: The British, in spite of their heavier losses, would recover more quickly than could the enemy.

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: The Vice President stated that he called the President to discuss the rules of engagement for the CAP.
Sent 2: He recalled feeling that it did no good to establish the CAP unless the pilots had instructions on whether they were authorized to shoot if the plane would not divert.
Sent 3: He said the President signed off on that concept.
Sent 4: The President said he remembered such a conversation, and that it reminded him of when he had been an interceptor pilot.
Sent 5: The President emphasized to us that he had authorized the shootdown of hijacked aircraft.
Sent 6: The Vice President's military aide told us he believed the Vice President spoke to the President just after entering the conference room, but he did not hear what they said.
Sent 7: Rice, who entered the room shortly after the Vice President and sat next to him, remembered hearing him inform the President, "Sir, the CAPs are up.
Sent 8: Sir, they're going to want to know what to do."Sent 9: Then she recalled hearing him say, "Yes sir."Sent 10: She believed this conversation occurred a few minutes, perhaps five, after they entered the conference room.
Sent 11: We believe this call would have taken place sometime before 10:10 to 10:15.
Sent 12: Among the sources that reflect other important events of that morning, there is no documentary evidence for this call, but the relevant sources are incomplete.
Sent 13: Others nearby who were taking notes, such as the Vice President's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, who sat next to him, and Mrs. Cheney, did not note a call between the President and Vice President immediately after the Vice President entered the conference room.
Sent 14: At 10:02, the communicators in the shelter began receiving reports from the Secret Service of an inbound aircraft-presumably hijacked-heading toward Washington.
Sent 15: That aircraft was United 93.
Sent 16: The Secret Service was getting this information directly from the FAA.
Sent 17: The FAA may have been tracking the progress of United 93 on a display that showed its projected path to Washington, not its actual radar return.
Sent 18: Thus, the Secret Service was relying on projections and was not aware the plane was already down in Pennsylvania.
answer:
Who signed of on the concept for giving pilots instructions on whether to shoot down planes if they do not divert?

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Walking didn't build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more.
Sent 2: After I'd walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me.
Sent 3: It slowed down as it neared me and I started to worry.
Sent 4: This wasn't the best of neighborhoods.
Sent 5: I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it.
Sent 6: I heard an automatic window roll down.
Sent 7: "Hey," said a male voice, "do you need some help?" I turned around.
Sent 8: The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I'd be afraid to drive on this street.
Sent 9: "It's a long way to anywhere worth going," he said.
Sent 10: "Would you like some help?" "Ah, I think I'm fine, thanks," I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk.
Sent 11: "Really, I'd like to help.
Sent 12: Please, hop in.
Sent 13: You don't look dressed for this weather." I glanced back over my shoulder.
Sent 14: "No thanks, sir!
Sent 15: I'm just fine.
Sent 16: Really, don't worry about me." "Nathan Spencer, I offer you help.
Sent 17: I advise that you not refuse me a third time." I stopped and looked back at him, surprised.

Sent 20: Get in.
