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.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: The British Arrive: " Albert is so amused," wrote Queen Victoria, "at my having got the island of Hong Kong.
Sent 2: " Her foreign secretary, Lord Palmerston, was not so amused; he dismissed Hong Kong as "a barren island with hardly a house upon it.
Sent 3: " Hong Kong Island formally became a British possession two years later in 1843.
Sent 4: The British now had a base for the thriving trade they had carried on from Canton.
Sent 5: Trading conditions, however, were not easy.
Sent 6: The attitude expressed by Emperor Qianlong at Britian's first attempt to open trade with China in 1793 continued to prevail: "We possess all things," said the emperor, "I set no value on objects strange or ingenious, and have no use for your country's manufactures." Moreover, China would accept nothing but silver bullion in exchange for its goods, so Britian had to look for a more abundant commodity to square its accounts.
Sent 7: Around the end of the 18th century, the traders found a solution: Opium was the wonder drug that would solve the problem.
Sent 8: Grown in India, it was delivered to Canton, and while China outlawed the trade in 1799, local Cantonese officials were always willing to look the other way for "squeeze money" (a term still used in Hong Kong).
Sent 9: In 1839 the emperor appointed the incorruptible Commissioner Lin Tse-hsu to stamp out the smuggling of "foreign mud.
Sent 10: " Lin's crackdown was indeed severe.
Sent 11: He demanded that the British merchants in Canton surrender their opium stores, and to back up his ultimatum he laid siege to the traders, who, after six tense weeks, surrendered over 20,000 chests of opium.
Sent 12: To Queen Victoria, Lin addressed a famous letter, pointing out the harm the "poisonous drug" did to China, and asking for an end to the opium trade; his arguments are unanswerable, but the lofty though heartfelt tone of the letter shows how unprepared the Chinese were to negotiate with the West in realistic terms.
Sent 13: A year later, in June 1840, came the British retaliation, beginning the first of the so-called Opium Wars.
Sent 14: After a few skirmishes and much negotiation, a peace agreement was reached.
Sent 15: Under the Convention of Chuenpi, Britain was given the island of Hong Kong, and on 26 January 1841, it was proclaimed a British colony.

A: Who's foreign secretary is Lord Palmerston?

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: The after-action review had treated the CIA as the lead agency for any offensive against al Qaeda, and the principals, at their March 10 meeting, had endorsed strengthening the CIA's capability for that role.
Sent 2: To the CTC, that meant proceeding with "the Plan," which it had put forward half a year earlier-hiring and training more case officers and building up the capabilities of foreign security services that provided intelligence via liaison.
Sent 3: On occasion, as in Jordan in December 1999, these liaison services took direct action against al Qaeda cells.
Sent 4: In the CTC and higher up, the CIA's managers believed that they desperately needed funds just to continue their current counterterrorism effort, for they reckoned that the millennium alert had already used up all of the Center's funds for the current fiscal year; the Bin Ladin unit had spent 140 percent of its allocation.
Sent 5: Tenet told us he met with Berger to discuss funding for counterterrorism just two days after the principals' meeting.
Sent 6: While Clarke strongly favored giving the CIA more money for counterterrorism, he differed sharply with the CIA's managers about where it should come from.
Sent 7: They insisted that the CIA had been shortchanged ever since the end of the Cold War.
Sent 8: Their ability to perform any mission, counterterrorism included, they argued, depended on preserving what they had, restoring what they had lost since the beginning of the 1990s, and building from there-with across-the-board recruitment and training of new case officers, and the reopening of closed stations.
Sent 9: To finance the counterterrorism effort, Tenet had gone to congressional leaders after the 1998 embassy bombings and persuaded them to give the CIA a special supplemental appropriation.
Sent 10: Now, in the aftermath of the millennium alert, Tenet wanted a boost in overall funds for the CIA and another supplemental appropriation specifically for counterterrorism.
Sent 11: To Clarke, this seemed evidence that the CIA's leadership did not give sufficient priority to the battle against Bin Ladin and al Qaeda.
Sent 12: He told us that James Pavitt, the head of the CIA's Directorate of Operations, "said if there's going to be money spent on going after Bin Ladin, it should be given to him.
Sent 13: My view was that he had had a lot of money to do it and a long time to do it, and I didn't want to put more good money after bad."Sent 14: The CIA had a very different attitude: Pavitt told us that while the CIA's Bin Ladin unit did"extraordinary and commendable work," his chief of station in London "was just as much part of the al Qaeda struggle as an officer sitting in [the Bin Ladin unit]."Sent 15: The dispute had large managerial implications, for Clarke had found allies in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

A: who is considered the lead agency when dealing with Al Qaeda and what did it mean for the CTC?

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Enter the Shoguns: Japan's austere, ruthless, but statesmanlike new ruler, Yoritomo Minamoto, set up his government in Kamakura (just south of modern Tokyo), well away from the "softening" influence of court life that had been the undoing of his predecessor, Kiyomori.
Sent 2: First of the national rulers to take the title of sei-i tai-shogun ("barbarian-subduing great general"), Minamoto expanded and consolidated his power by confiscating lands from some of the defeated Taira and redistributing them to his samurai vassals.
Sent 3: Minamoto died in 1199, and the feudal structure passed intact to the tutelage of his widow's family, the Hojo, who were content to play regent to a figurehead shogun, in much the same way as the Fujiwara had done with the emperor.
Sent 4: The fiction of Japanese imperial power had become infinitely extendable.
Sent 5: The emperor at Kyotostill seconded by a Fujiwara regent at courtlegitimized a Minamoto who was himself a military dictator controlled by a Hojo regent.
Sent 6: In a country where form and substance were inextricably interrelated, two things counted in politics: symbolic authority and real power.
Sent 7: Neither could exist without the other.
Sent 8: A thwarted Mongol invasion in 1274 weakened the Kamakura regime.
Sent 9: The fighting brought none of the usual spoils of war that provincial warlords and samurai had come to expect as payment.
Sent 10: And the treasury was empty after earthquake, famine, and plague had crippled the economy.
Sent 11: Buddhist monasteries were using their private armies to support imperial ambitions to bring power back to Kyoto.
Sent 12: Worst of all, the Kamakura warriors, resenting the way the Kyoto court referred to them as "Eastern barbarians," sought refinement in a ruinous taste for luxury: extravagant feasts, rich costumes, and opulent homes.
Sent 13: Kamakura was falling apart.

A:
What fighting failed to provide payment for provincial warlords and samurai?
