Teacher:In this task, you're given a question, a context passage, and four options which are terms from the passage. After reading a passage, you will get a brief understanding of the terms. Your job is to determine by searching and reading further information of which term you can answer the question. Indicate your choice as 'a', 'b', 'c', or 'd'. If you think more than one option is plausible, choose the more probable option to help you answer the question.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: Which team had the better record between the Bolton Wanderers and the Tottenham Hotspur the year that Manchester United were beaten 41 by Tottenham Hotspur and when Newcastle beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at home? Passage:In the previous season, Newcastle United and Manchester United contested for the title in a season described by Total Football magazine as "an absolute classic" and which was in 2012 one of six nominees for an award for best Premier League season ever. On 1 January 1996, Manchester United were beaten 41 by Tottenham Hotspur and when Newcastle beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at home on 20 January 1996 they established what most presumed to be an insurmountable 12-point lead over their title rivals. However, the Manchester club began embarked upon what sports writer Ian Cusack described as "a seemingly endless streak of 1-0 wins", including a critical game at St James' Park on 4 March which saw Peter Schmeichel defy the hosts with several excellent saves before Eric Cantona scored a decisive break-away goal. Indeed, after a 21 win at Middlesbrough largely inspired by debutant Faustino Asprilla, Newcastle lost five of their next eight, including last-gasp defeats at Anfield, in a match later voted the greatest game of the first decade of the Premier League, and at Ewood Park thanks to a pair of goals from Geordie substitute Graham Fenton who scored on 86 and 90 minutes. These factors meant that Keegan's side were caught by Alex Ferguson's side who ultimately went on to win the title by four points and then beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final to complete a domestic double.
