Part 1. Definition
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.
Part 2. Example
Paragraph- Sent 1: A Republican bid to keep the government open past Friday includes no new money for the construction of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to several congressional aides familiar with ongoing talks.
Sent 2: GOP leaders submitted the new offer Tuesday afternoon in an effort to appease Democrats, whose votes are needed to avert a shutdown of federal agencies, several House and Senate aides said.
Sent 3: However, Republicans also insisted on increases in border security and defense spending, including money to repair existing fencing and new surveillance technology to patrol the nearly 2,000-mile border.
Sent 4: Democrats have indicated that they would support such appropriations so long as no money goes toward an actual wall.
Answer: Who has to be appeased to keep the government open?
Explanation: This is a good multi-sentence question because, "appease Democrats" is mentioned in Sent 2, while "keep the government open" is part of Sent 1. As this question requires more than one sentences to answer, it's a good question.
Part 3. Exercise
Paragraph- Sent 1: They parted and Allan made his way pensively from Arthur's gate.
Sent 2: He walked the wheel-ruts, hands in his pockets and unshined shoes collecting dust.
Sent 3: Some quarter-mile from Arthur's gate, he halted, confronted by a halloo.
Sent 4: "Nathan?"Sent 5: he called out to the empty road.
Sent 6: The reply came from above him and Allan turned to see his friend reclining in the fork of a great tree.
Sent 7: "I had a hunch you'd be at Arthur's today," said Nathan, "so I thought I'd wait here for you."Sent 8: Nathan's lanky frame, dressed in a loose, tan jacket, fit into the branch like an elegant skeleton.
Sent 9: His hair fell loosely across a face that seemed always to have a knowing smirk hidden just beneath its surface, infusing his body with a rakish energy.
Sent 10: "So, Allan," said Nathan, unfolding and lowering his legs to the roadside, "how goes life for the quintessential American author?"Sent 11: "I wouldn't know," replied Allan dryly, before continuing in another tone entirely.
Sent 12: "I destroyed another story last night, Nathan."Sent 13: Leaning against his tree, Nathan shook his head.
Sent 14: "You mean, finished another story."Sent 15: "Yes, it is finished!
Sent 16: Ended!
Sent 17: Never again shall it see the rosy-fingered dawn!
Sent 18: Nathan, you've read these abominations of mine.
Sent 19: You know just as well as I that they have no future, no potential.
Sent 20: At best, they are faery tales; at worst, expeditions into macabre realms no healthy mind need ever see.".
Answer:
What does Allan mean when he says that he "destroyed another story last night?"?
