Student asked: Test for natural language inference.
Premise: "Nine young people wearing black perform a play in front of an audience."
Hypothesis: "All the performers are senior citizens."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Options:
- yes
- no
- it is not possible to tell
Teacher's response: Let's think. The performers cannot be young people that perform and be senior citizens simultaneously because they are of different age groups. The answer is no.

Student asked: Premise: "Three little boys are playing at the beach."
Based on this premise, can we conclude that the hypothesis "A man is buried in the sand." is true?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
Teacher's response: Let's think. In one sentence three little boys are playing at the beach while in the other a man is buried in sand. The answer is no.

Student asked: If "A group of dancers in black shirts are performing on stage." does that mean that "A group of dancers are wearing plaid shirts."?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
Teacher's response: Let's think. A group of dancers cannot be wearing plaid shirts and black shirts simultaneously. The answer is no.

Student asked: Premise: "An oriental woman on a crowded street pointing."
Based on this premise, can we conclude that the hypothesis "The woman is on an abandoned corner." is true?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
Teacher's response:
Let's think. An oriental woman though gender specific still is very general and can mean many where the woman still implies only one. Crowed is the direct opposite of abandoned. The answer is no.
