You are given a paragraph, with numbered sentences, and a question. Write the numbers of the sentences needed to answer the given question. Separate multiple sentence numbers with a comma (", "). E.g. "1, 2" would be the correct response if Sent 1 and Sent 2 are needed to answer the given question (do not include sentences that contain no information that is necessary to answer the question). Sort the sentence numbers in an increasing order (i.e., '1, 2', instead of '2, 1'). Your answer should not contain anything than the sentence numbers separated by a comma (e.g. '1, 2, 3, 4'). The given question requires more than one sentence to answer. So, your answer must contain at least one comma (", ").

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Nara Period: Another of the new ideas was to set up a permanent residential capital for the imperial court, initially at Naniwa (present-day Osaka) and then a little to the east, at Nara, in 710.
Sent 2: Laid out like a chessboard (nearly half the size of China’s similarly designed capital, Chang’an), Nara had its imperial palace at the northern end, with court residences, Buddhist monasteries, and Shinto shrines stretching to the south.
Sent 3: In those peaceful years, without threat of foreign invasion or civil war, there were no city ramparts.
Sent 4: The era known as the Nara Period was marked by the religious fervor of the Buddhist monks and also by their accompanying artistic achievements.
Sent 5: The Japanese were attracted more to Buddhism’s ritual and art than to its complex philosophy, rendered all the more difficult because its texts were, for several centuries, available only in Chinese, the language of a small court elite.
Sent 6: Buddhist monks initiated great progress in Japanese architecture, bronze-casting, bridge-building, and sculpture.
Sent 7: To this day, historians of Chinese art find the best surviving examples of Tang-dynasty architecture among the seventh- and eighth-century temples in and around Nara.
Sent 8: By marrying his daughters to sons of the reigning emperor and then engineering timely abdications, a Fujiwara contrived always to be father-in-law, uncle, or grandfather behind the throne.
Sent 9: Very often the emperor was only a minor, so that the Fujiwara patriarch acted as regent.
Sent 10: He then persuaded the emperor to abdicate soon after his majority, and the regency would continue for the next youthful incumbent.
Sent 11: The important thing was to have the emperor’s sanction for the regent’s political decisions.
Sent 12: Very few emperors were reluctant to submit to Fujiwara domination.
Sent 13: The burden of his spiritual functions as high priest of Shinto and the tasks of administration led the emperor to welcome an early abdication, frequently to retire to a life of Buddhist meditation and scholarship.
Sent 14: The Fujiwara resented the Buddhist clergy’s great and growing influence in imperial affairs.
Sent 15: There were too many monasteries in and around Nara.
Sent 16: It was time to move the capital. 
Question: Who persuaded the emperor to abdicate soon after his majority?.

Answer: 9, 10.


Question: Paragraph- Sent 1:   We were cornered in a sort of way already.
Sent 2: But these butchers up the cavern had been surprised, they were probably scared, and they had no special weapons, only those little hatchets of theirs.
Sent 3: And that way lay escape.
Sent 4: Their sturdy little forms--ever so much shorter and thicker than the mooncalf herds--were scattered up the slope in a way that was eloquent of indecision.
Sent 5: I had the moral advantage of a mad bull in a street.
Sent 6: But for all that, there seemed a tremendous crowd of them.
Sent 7: Very probably there was.
Sent 8: Those Selenites down the cleft had certainly some infernally long spears.
Sent 9: It might be they had other surprises for us.... But, confound it!
Sent 10: if we charged up the cave we should let them up behind us, and if we didn't those little brutes up the cave would probably get reinforced.
Sent 11: Heaven alone knew what tremendous engines of warfare--guns, bombs, terrestrial torpedoes--this unknown world below our feet, this vaster world of which we had only pricked the outer cuticle, might not presently send up to our destruction.
Sent 12: It became clear the only thing to do was to charge!
Sent 13: It became clearer as the legs of a number of fresh Selenites appeared running down the cavern towards us. 
Question: Where are the Selenites in relation to the narrator?.

Answer: 8, 13.


Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: (CNN) -- Guatemala's government has declared a state of siege and sent hundreds of troops to a northern province where officials say a Mexican drug gang is overtaking towns and threatening residents.
Sent 2: President Alvaro Colom announced the 30-day emergency rule in Alta Verapaz on Sunday.
Sent 3: The rule allows the military to order anyone suspected of conspiring against the government to be arrested and imprisoned without a warrant, the state-run AGN news agency said.
Sent 4: "Starting today, combined forces will retake the streets of Alta Verapaz," a government statement released Sunday morning said.
Sent 5: Government data shows cells of the drug gang known as Los Zetas are in the area to protect drug trafficking paths between Honduras and Mexico, "intimidating the population with their heavy weapons and threatening farmers to give up their land for criminal activities," AGN reported.
Sent 6: The state of siege also allows the government to place greater restrictions on public gatherings, travel visas and gun licenses, among other things, according to AGN.
Sent 7: "The population should be calm.
Sent 8: What we are doing is not intended to persecute honest, working people," Interior Minister Carlos Menocal told reporters.
Sent 9: Menocal said operations in the coming days would aim to boost regional security, regain control of territory, identify criminal gangs and capture their members.
Sent 10: In an interview with CNN en Espanol last month, Menocal said his country needed more help from the United States to combat cartels, which were increasingly carving out new drug transport paths.
Sent 11: "In the end, the large majority of drugs travel through Central America, and the assignment of resources or the financial support of the United States government is not the same as Colombia and Mexico receive," he said.
Sent 12: Menocal said clashes between authorities and Los Zetas had notably increased. 
Question: Carlos Menocal is the Minister of Interior of what country?.

Answer:
1, 8.
