Teacher: You need to answer a given question containing a blank (_). Your answer must be one of the two objects mentioned in the question, for example "trophy" and "suitcase". Your answer must not contain a word that is not present in the question. Please don't use articles (e.g., the, a) before the answer.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
The trophy doesn't fit into the brown suitcase because _ is too large.
Solution: trophy.
Reason: Answer is one of the objects ("trophy" and "suitcase") in the question. Since the blank is a "large" object that didn't fit the "suitcase", the answer must be "trophy".

Now, solve this instance: Kelly was buying a housewarming gift and decided to get a plant instead of a painting because the _ was inanimate.
Student:
