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.

Let me give you an 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.
The answer to this example can be: 2
Here is why: People generally don't feel happy about natural disasters like storms. Therefore, we choose 2 in this case.

OK. solve this:
Beginning: There was a computer manufacturer called Asus. Middle 1: They wanted to seperate with another company called ACM inc. but the other company was accepting it. Middle 2: They wanted to merge with another company called ACM Inc. But the other company was fighting the merger. Ending: But Asus was able to win and buy out the other company.
