[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: In remarks during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here on Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki said he expected the facility to generate thousands more jobs in the Hudson Valley area for contractors and suppliers catering to the factory.
Sent 2: He praised IBM for being "a critical partner in our economic development efforts" in New York state.

Sent 5: But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business.
Sent 6: In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings.

Sent 8: But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong.
Sent 9: "I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand."Sent 10: If IBM has miscalculated the demand, it will suffer badly as both the high operating costs and depreciation on the huge capital investment for the East Fishkill factory drag down earnings.
Sent 11: But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market.

[EX Q]: Paragraph- Sent 1: At length, as I entered the pass, the huge rocks began to close around in all their wild, mysterious impressiveness, when suddenly, as I was gazing eagerly about me, a drove of gray hairy beings came in sight, lumbering toward me with a kind of boneless, wallowing motion like bears.
Sent 2: I never turn back, though often so inclined, and in this particular instance, amid such surroundings, everything seemed singularly unfavorable for the calm acceptance of so grim a company.
Sent 3: Suppressing my fears, I soon discovered that although as hairy as bears and as crooked as summit pines, the strange creatures were sufficiently erect to belong to our own species.
Sent 4: They proved to be nothing more formidable than Mono Indians dressed in the skins of sage-rabbits.
Sent 5: Both the men and the women begged persistently for whisky and tobacco, and seemed so accustomed to denials that I found it impossible to convince them that I had none to give.
Sent 6: Excepting the names of these two products of civilization, they seemed to understand not a word of English; but I afterward learned that they were on their way to Yosemite Valley to feast awhile on trout and procure a load of acorns to carry back through the pass to their huts on the shore of Mono Lake.
Question: Why did everything seem grim? (A) The wild surroundings (B) Animals (C) Ghost (D) Because the rocks were surrounding him and scary creatures were moving towards him like bears.
