Teacher:In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to generate a question about temporal relations based on that passage. A temporal relation describes the relation between two things with respect to time e.g., something happens/starts/terminates/... immediately/shortly/usually/... before/after/during/... something else.
Your question should include an event, or ask about an event, and should not be a yes/no question.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Passage: Spicer, 44, said he and his 65 mercenaries were recruited for 24 million pounds (39 million dollars) by the government of the South Sea nation to help overthrow a nine-year rebellion on the copper-rich island of Bougainville. He was arrested three weeks ago, was mistreated for six days and then placed under house arrest until charges against him were dropped, he told assembled reporters.
Student:
What event has already finished?
