You will be given a definition of a task first, then an example. Follow the example to solve a new instance of the task.
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 (", ").

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.
Question: Who has to be appeased to keep the government open?.
Solution: 1, 2.
Why? The question is: Who has to be appeased to keep the government open? The phrase "appease Democrats" is mentioned in Sent 2, about accepting offer that is mentioned in Sent 1 to "keep the government open". So, Sent 1 and Sent 2 are the sentences needed to answer this question.

New input: Paragraph- Sent 1: Women and minorities appear to be benefiting from greater employment opportunities in the United States, but discrimination remains a significant problem, according to a study to be released today by two professors at the Rutgers School of Law in Newark.
Sent 2: The study, which extrapolated from federal data on about 200,000 large and midsize employers, concludes that about two million workers were affected by intentional discrimination in 1999.
Sent 3: Roughly a third of the employers studied appeared to have discriminated against women or minorities in at least one job category, the authors said The study was based on information collected from employers by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1990 through 1999 on so-called EEO-1 forms.
Sent 4: The husband-and-wife team of Alfred W. and Ruth G. Blumrosen then looked at how many women or minority workers a company employed in different job categories compared with how many were employed at other companies in the same industry in the same geographic area.
Sent 5: They described a company as an intentional discriminator if its employment of women or minorities was at least two standard deviations from the average.
Sent 6: Legally, companies are presumed to discriminate if their employment numbers are far below the norm.
Sent 7: About 22,000 employers were identified as "hard core" discriminators.
Sent 8: These companies employed below-average numbers of women and minorities for 10 years and their hiring of women or minorities was so far below the averages that there was only one chance in a hundred that the discrimination occurred randomly.
Sent 9: The study also found rising employment for women and minorities, suggesting significant progress in the workplace.
Sent 10: The names of the companies are confidential and were not known to the researchers.
Sent 11: The professors expect to make their study available through a Web site, www.eeo1.com.
Sent 12: The Blumrosens, who were instrumental in setting up the E.E.O.C. in 1965, also say the government should make more active use of their data.
Sent 13: The commission said it did not comment on draft reports. 
Question: If a third of the employees were projected to be discriminatory, how many were not discriminatory?.
Solution:
3, 7.
