In this task, you will be shown a short story with a beginning, two potential middles, and an ending. Your job is to choose the middle statement that makes the story incoherent / implausible by indicating 1 or 2 in the output. If both sentences are plausible, pick the one that makes less sense.
One example: Beginning: Butch had a really old computer. Middle 1: Butch decided to order a new computer online. Middle 2: Butch noticed that a storm was approaching to his town. Ending: It arrived and Butch was much happier.
Solution is here: 2
Explanation: People generally don't feel happy about natural disasters like storms. Therefore, we choose 2 in this case.

Now, solve this: Beginning: Pencil making starts with wood being carved into thin slats. Middle 1: Lead and graphite is then place in between two layers of slats. Middle 2: Glue is then place in between two layers of slats without lead. Ending: Finally, the individual pencils are carved into shape.
Solution:
2
