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, containing several sentences, and a question about the paragraph. The given question might contain grammatical errors, typing mistakes, etc., or might not make sense in the context of the paragraph (for instance, it might not be related to the content of the paragraph or not be answerable at all). Your task is to generate the corrected question in your response. Do not write a question that is very different from the given question. Instead, you should correct it by applying minimal edits to the words in the given question, such that your generated response remains similar to the given question.

Paragraph- Sent 1: It was hot that day.
Sent 2: The temperature on the wall of the backyard was showing something well over 100 F.
Sent 3: Meanwhile Tom, at home, was trying finish the remainder of carrots from last night, and packing for his trip to Chicago tomorrow.
Sent 4: As employees of the Art Museum, Tom and his older cousin often had to travel to Chicago. Question: What was the temperature outside, when Pom was eating carrots?
Solution: What was the temperature outside, when Tom was eating carrots?
Why? The passage is about "Tom", while the given question contains the word "Pom" by mistake. This is a good response, since swapping the word "Pom" with "Tom" (without touching rest of the question) makes it answerable from the given passage.
