Sent 2: -Poor and elderly people may soon go without legal representation in Boone County. Sent 3: Boone County Legal Aid, which for 31 years has provided legal services to those who couldn't afford them, will close in February if a $10,000 grant from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino is not awarded. Sent 4: The legal service is one of the few programs in Iowa that offers legal representation to those who qualify without turning to the state for its services. Sent 5: "It is a very sad situation, but that's the fact," said Alan Schroeder, city attorney and supervisor of Boone County Legal Aid. Sent 6: For the past two years using money mostly from the city and county, Schroeder has upheld the outfit alone, taking on about 60 clients a year, and settling cases that range from domestic abuse to bankruptcy. Sent 7: He also has a private practice. Sent 8: If the legal service closes, he's unsure where his clients will go. Sent 9: The city of Boone gave Schroeder $6,300 in July to resolve pending cases, said Kathy Berg, Boone's finance officer. Sent 10: Without that, the program might already be closed. Sent 11: "All governments are having problems with finances," Boone Mayor George Maybee said. Sent 12: "No one else stepped in. Sent 13: The county didn't. Sent 14: The state didn't."Sent 15: Donovan Olson, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the board quit funding the legal service in July because it felt the county didn't need it. Sent 16: Drake University ended its funding after the 2000 spring semester "for a variety of reasons," Suzanne Levitt, the law professor who oversaw the program, said via e-mail. Sent 17: Olson said Schroeder must prove Prairie Meadows is the primary money source for the board to grant the program any more money. Sent 18: Schroeder ran the program without the help of law students or Drake, which had provided as much as two-thirds of the money in some years. Question: Where does Alan Schroeder work? (A) Alan Schroeder works as the supervisor at Boone County Legal Aid and he has a private practice as a city attorney (B) Prairie Meadows (C) Boone County Legal Aid (D) Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino (E) Private practice (F) Drake University.

Sent 2: This group worked against the Nazis, and in it Camus assumed the nom de guerre Beauchard. Sent 3: Camus became the paper's editor in 1943. Sent 4: He first met Sartre at the dress rehearsal of Sartre's play, The Flies, in June 1943. Sent 5: When the Ailies liberated Paris in August 1944, Camus witnessed and reported the last of the fighting. Sent 6: Soon after the event on 6 August 1945, he was one of the few French editors to publicly express opposition and disgust to the United States' dropping the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Sent 7: He resigned from Combat in 1947 when it became a commercial paper. Sent 8: After the war, Camus began frequenting the Cafe de Flore on the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris with Sartre and others. Sent 9: He also toured the United States to lecture about French thought. Sent 10: Although he leaned left, politically, his strong criticisms of Communist doctrine did not win him any friends in the Communist parties and eventually alienated Sartre. Sent 11: In 1949, his tuberculosis returned, whereupon he lived in seclusion for two years. Sent 12: In 1951, he published The Rebel, a philosophical analysis of rebellion and revolution which expressed his rejection of communism. Sent 13: Upsetting many of his colleagues and contemporaries in France, the book brought about the final split with Sartre. Sent 14: The dour reception depressed Camus; he began to translate plays. Sent 15: Camus's first significant contribution to philosophy was his idea of the absurd. Sent 16: He saw it as the result of our desire for clarity and meaning within a world and condition that offers neither, which he expressed in The Myth of Sisyphus and incorporated into many of his other works, such as The Stranger and The Plague. Sent 17: Despite his split from his "study partner", Sartre, Camus was still categorized as an Existentialist. Sent 18: He specifically rejected that label in his essay "Enigma" and elsewhere. Question: What label assigned to him did Camus reject? (A) Study partner (B) Existentialist (C) Enigma (D) Liberalist (E) Communist.

Sent 2: The Greeks regarded the gesture as the province of deities and believed that Alexander meant to deify himself by requiring it. Sent 3: This cost him the sympathies of many of his countrymen, and he eventually abandoned it. Sent 4: A plot against his life was revealed, and one of his officers, Philotas, was executed for failing to alert Alexander. Sent 5: The death of the son necessitated the death of the father, and thus Parmenion, who had been charged with guarding the treasury at Ecbatana, was assassinated at Alexander's command, to prevent attempts at vengeance. Sent 6: Most infamously, Alexander personally killed the man who had saved his life at Granicus, Cleitus the Black, during a violent drunken altercation at Maracanda (modern day Samarkand in Uzbekistan), in which Cleitus accused Alexander of several judgemental mistakes and most especially, of having forgotten the Macedonian ways in favour of a corrupt oriental lifestyle. Sent 7: Later, in the Central Asian campaign, a second plot against his life was revealed, this one instigated by his own royal pages. Sent 8: His official historian, Callisthenes of Olynthus, was implicated in the plot; however, historians have yet to reach a consensus regarding this involvement. Sent 9: Callisthenes had fallen out of favor by leading the opposition to the attempt to introduce proskynesis. Question: Who lost their lives when a plot against Alexander's life was revealed? (A) One of his officers, Philotas, was executed for failing to alert him and Philotas's father, Parmenion, was assassinated at Alexander's command to prevent attempts at revenge (B) Cleitus the Black (C) Philotas (D) All the conspirators (E) Alexander's official historian (F) One of his officers (G) Philotus's father (H) Permenion (I) Callisthenes of Olynthus.

Sent 2: Rice noted at the time that a more wide-ranging examination of policy toward Afghanistan was needed first. Sent 3: She wanted the review very soon. Sent 4: Rice and others recalled the President saying, "I'm tired of swatting at flies."Sent 5: The President reportedly also said,"I'm tired of playing defense. Sent 6: I want to play offense. Sent 7: I want to take the fight to the terrorists."Sent 8: President Bush explained to us that he had become impatient. Sent 9: He apparently had heard proposals for rolling back al Qaeda but felt that catching terrorists one by one or even cell by cell was not an approach likely to succeed in the long run. Sent 10: At the same time, he said, he understood that policy had to be developed slowly so that diplomacy and financial and military measures could mesh with one another. Sent 11: Hadley convened an informal Deputies Committee meeting on March 7, when some of the deputies had not yet been confirmed. Sent 12: For the first time, Clarke's various proposals-for aid to the Northern Alliance and the Uzbeks and for Predator missions-went before the group that, in the Bush NSC, would do most of the policy work. Sent 13: Though they made no decisions on these specific proposals, Hadley apparently concluded that there should be a presidential national security policy directive (NSPD) on terrorism. Sent 14: Clarke would later express irritation about the deputies' insistence that a strategy for coping with al Qaeda be framed within the context of a regional policy. Sent 15: He doubted that the benefits would compensate for the time lost. Sent 16: The administration had in fact proceeded with Principals Committee meetings on topics including Iraq and Sudan without prior contextual review, and Clarke favored moving ahead similarly with a narrow counterterrorism agenda. Sent 17: But the President's senior advisers saw the al Qaeda problem as part of a puzzle that could not be assembled without filling in the pieces for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Sent 18: Rice deferred a Principals Committee meeting on al Qaeda until the deputies had developed a new policy for their consideration. Question: What was the name of the terrorist group President Bush and his administration concentrated on developing a strategy to defeat? (A) Al Jazeera (B) ISIS (C) The Northern Alliance (D) Al Queda (E) NSPD (F) The Uzbeks (G) Al Qaeda (H) Taliban (I) PLA.

Sent 2: Instead of lunches at Lut��ce, they caucus at the Palace Diner in Queens. Sent 3: Wooing clients means passing out fliers on street corners, not securing box seats at Madison Square Garden. Sent 4: To make ends meet, one partner stacks pipe and cleans the yard at a plumbing warehouse. Sent 5: Another handles urine samples in a hospital lab. Sent 6: A sign of failure, of a feeble economy, perhaps? Sent 7: Hardly. Sent 8: They are heeding the call of a growing pool of law schools, which are for the first time pointing graduates in a new direction and teaching them how to get there. Sent 9: Forget the lure of large firms, the security of a government post. Sent 10: Here is how to grapple "in the service of justice," as many of the schools put it, instead. Sent 11: Convinced that corporate largess and government programs barely dent the nation's legal needs, the law schools are urging graduates to buck tradition, pass up big salaries and ignore mushrooming student debt to join tiny neighborhood practices or simply start their own, all with an eye toward charging no more than their clients can afford. Sent 12: This is not pro bono legal work; it is "low bono," a term the schools coined to define the atypical kind of law career they are training students for. Sent 13: While its practitioners do charge for their services, they are also dead set on turning no one away - or at least as few as possible. Sent 14: "When you go into this kind of social justice law, it's really brutal and you're almost guaranteed to struggle for a couple of years before there's a light at the end of the tunnel," said Fred Rooney, director of the Community Legal Resource Network at City University of New York School of Law, from which the lawyers of the newly formed Cates, Katalinic & Lund graduated last May. Sent 15: "But if our graduates don't do it, the millions of people who cannot access justice in this country will continue to soar."Sent 16: The movement, primly called the consortium, started four years ago by CUNY, Northeastern University, the University of Maryland and St. Mary's Law School in Texas. Sent 17: (St. Mary's later dropped out.) Since then, it has drawn seven additional law schools to its ranks: the University of Michigan, Rutgers and Syracuse Law Schools, New York Law School, University of New Mexico School of Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School and Touro Law School. Sent 18: It has elicited at least initial interest from 19 more. Question: What food establishment do Cates, Katalinic & Lund frequent? (A) Community legal resource network (B) Queens (C) Palace Diner in Queens (D) Sele Diner (E) Madison Square Garden (F) McDonalds (G) Palace Diner.

Sent 2: It refers to a woman who is dangerously attractive, and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness. Sent 3: In both incarnations of Madame White snake, the authors depict her as bewitchingly beautiful. Sent 4: Toyoo, her human lover in "Lust of the White Serpant" cannot shake the image of her beauty from his mind and dreams of her, and finds himself "disturbed and agitated" by her "ethereal beauty". Sent 5: In "Eternal Prisoner," Madame White Snake's bewitching beauty follows her lover Hsü into his dreams, and the next morning "he was so distracted that he could not concentrate on doing business." Both of these stories align negative connotations with her beauty, suggesting that her sexuality is the cause of their distraction. Sent 6: In addition to distracting sexuality, the irregular characterization of Madame White Snake might be another trait her character has in common with the archetypical noir femme fatale. Sent 7: In her essay analyzing the noir film from a feminist perspective, Christine Gledhill writes "Not only is the hero frequently not sure whether the woman is honest or a deceiver, but the heroine's characterisation is itself fractured so that it is not evident to the audience whether she fills the [femme fatale] stereotype or not". Question: In this passage, "Femme" is referring to what kind of woman? (A) A sexually attractive woman (B) A beautiful woman (C) One that is dangerously attractive and lures men to their downfall with her sexual attractiveness (D) Bewitching beauty (E) A woman prisoner (F) A feminist woman (G) Cute lover.

Sent 2: Peking Man, a forebear of Homo sapiens, achieved a mastery of fire. Sent 3: We might call it the first Chinese invention. Sent 4: Not that he devised flint and steel, matches, or any other way of creating fire. Sent 5: Peking Man simply learned how to capture flame, perhaps from a forest fire, and keep it alight. Sent 6: He thus enjoyed two revolutionary luxuries: light and heat. Sent 7: Technologically and sociologically, it was a phenomenal breakthrough: with fire, communities could live year 'round in one cave, in which cooking and even smelting could be pursued. Sent 8: And so, by 600,000 b.c., about 50 km (31 miles) southwest of present-day Beijing, the ancestors of mankind were ready to settle down. Sent 9: Several hundred thousand years later, when Marco Polo reached the capital of China, he was astonished by a further development in fire technology. Sent 10: The Chinese, he announced, used black stones dug out of mountains as fuel. Sent 11: Europeans did not yet have a word for "coal," nor had they discovered a use for it. Sent 12: The First Dynasty The confluence of mythology and history in China took place around 4,000 years ago during what is referred to as the Xia (Hsia) Dynasty. Sent 13: This was still the Stone Age, but the people are thought to have made silk from thread produced by the worms they cultivated on the leaves of their mulberry trees. Sent 14: And written language (which evolved as early as 4,500 to 5,000 years ago) was already in use, originally by oracles and then by official scribes — China's first scholars. Sent 15: During the second of the quasi-legendary dynasties, the Shang (from about the 16th to 11th centuries b.c.), the Chinese developed an interest in art. Sent 16: Careful geometric designs as well as dragon and bird motifs adorned bowls and implements. Sent 17: And with the arrival of the Bronze Age, the Chinese created bronze vessels of such beauty and originality that, until modern times, archaeologists refused to believe they were cast 3,000 years ago. Sent 18: The Shang Dynasty gave rise to the concept of one Chinese nation under one government. Question: Who enjoyed the two revolutionary luxuries of light and heat? (A) Peking Man (B) Marco Polo (C) Christopher columbus.

Sent 4: He had to storm the pass of the Persian Gates (in the modern Zagros Mountains) which had been blocked by a Persian army under Ariobarzanes and then hurried to Persepolis before its garrison could loot the treasury. Sent 5: On entering Persepolis, Alexander allowed his troops to loot the city for several days. Sent 6: Alexander stayed in Persepolis for five months. Sent 7: During his stay a fire broke out in the eastern palace of Xerxes and spread to the rest of the city.

Sent 2: The land was infertile, just a swampy plain, the river small and sluggish. Sent 3: But it had a sheltered harbor, protected from the monsoons by neighboring Sumatra. Sent 4: Later, the strategic location and deep-water channel close to the coast brought in the bigger vessels of the trade-wind traffic crossing the Indian Ocean. Sent 5: The first to realize the larger commercial potential, as so often throughout the country's subsequent history, were the Chinese. Sent 6: In 1409, under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, a Chinese fleet of 50 ships headed by Admiral Cheng Ho called in at Melaka. Sent 7: They made Parameswara an offer he could not refuse: port facilities and an annual financial tribute in exchange for Chinese protection against the marauding Thais. Sent 8: In 1411, Parameswara took the money to Beijing himself, and the emperor gratefully made him a vassal king. Sent 9: Twenty years later, the Chinese withdrew again from the South Seas trade. Sent 10: The new ruler of Melaka, Sri Maharajah, switched his allegiance to the Muslim trading fraternity by marrying into the Muslim faith, wedding the daughter of a sultan in Sumatra. Sent 11: Islam won its place in Malaya not by conquest — as had been the case in North Africa and Europe — but by trade, dynastic alliances, and peaceful preaching. Sent 12: Bengali peddlers had already brought the faith to the east coast. Sent 13: In Melaka and throughout the peninsula, Islam thrived as a strong, male-dominated religion of individuality, offering dynamic leadership and preaching brotherhood and self-reliance — all qualities ideally suited to the coastal trade. Sent 14: At the same time, Sufi mystics synthesized Islamic teaching with local Malay traditions of animistic magic and charisma, though Islam did not become the state religion until Muzaffar Shah became sultan of Melaka (1446–1459). Sent 15: But the key figure in the sultanate was Tun Perak, bendahara (prime minister) and military commander. Sent 16: He expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands. Sent 17: He also had orang laut pirates patrolling the seas to extort tribute from passing ships. Sent 18: After Ailied district chiefs had repelled assaults from Thai-controlled armies from Pahang, Tun Perak personally led a famous victory over a Thai fleet off Batu Pahat in 1456. Question: What military commander ordered tribute from passing ships? (A) Admiral Cheng Ho (B) Sri Maharajah (C) Emperor Chu Ti (D) Tun Perak (E) Muzaffar Shah.

Sent 2: Independent from the departments of Defense, State, Justice, and other policy departments, the DCI heads the U.S.intelligence community and provides intelligence to federal entities. Sent 3: The sole element of the intelligence community independent from a cabinet agency is the CIA. Sent 4: As an independent agency, it collects, analyzes, and disseminates intelligence from all sources. Sent 5: The CIA's number one customer is the president of the United States, who also has the authority to direct it to conduct covert operations. Sent 6: Although covert actions represent a very small fraction of the Agency's entire budget, these operations have at times been controversial and over time have dominated the public's perception of the CIA. Sent 7: The DCI is confirmed by the Senate but is not technically a member of the president's cabinet. Sent 8: The director's power under federal law over the loose, confederated "intelligence community" is limited. Sent 9: He or she states the community's priorities and coordinates development of intelligence agency budget requests for submission to Congress. Sent 10: This responsibility gives many the false impression that the DCI has line authority over the heads of these agencies and has the power to shift resources within these budgets as the need arises. Sent 11: Neither is true. Sent 12: In fact, the DCI's real authority has been directly proportional to his personal closeness to the president, which has waxed and waned over the years, and to others in government, especially the secretary of defense. Sent 13: Intelligence agencies under the Department of Defense account for approximately 80 percent of all U.S. spending for intelligence, including some that supports a national customer base and some that supports specific Defense Department or military service needs. Sent 14: As they are housed in the Defense Department, these agencies are keenly attentive to the military's strategic and tactical requirements. Question: How can the military benefit from the existence of the CIA? (A) They can use them (B) These agencies are keenly attentive to the military's strategic and tactical requirements (C) The CIA knows what intelligence the military requires and has the resources to obtain that intelligence.

Do not generate anything else apart from one or more of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D', etc. Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine. Sent 2: If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine. Sent 3: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea. Sent 4: Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine. Sent 5: No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order. Sent 6: In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty. Sent 7: In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved. Sent 8: Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal. Sent 9: "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said. Sent 10: "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders? Sent 11: That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?"Sent 12: Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Sent 13: Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order. Sent 14: Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases. Sent 15: She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed. Sent 16: West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state. Sent 17: "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said. Sent 18: "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred. Question: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, what was the max amount that they would have to pay? (A) Court costs, plus a $100 fine (B) $250 (C) $50 (D) $10 (E) $48.

Sent 3: Omphis(Indian name Ambhi Kumar), the ruler of Taxila, whose kingdom extended from the Indus to the Hydaspes (Jhelum), complied, but the chieftains of some hill clans, including the Aspasioi and Assakenoi sections of the Kambojas (known in Indian texts also as Ashvayanas and Ashvakayanas), refused to submit.

Sent 3: In Malaysia, Powell met with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has led the country since 1981.

Note that sometimes, more than one option can answer the question correctly and completely. In those cases, please generate all such options separated by a comma (e.g. "A, B" is a valid answer). Do not generate anything else apart from one or more of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D', etc. Input: Paragraph- Sent 1: The Domestic Violence Legal Assistance Program fills the gap of legal resources for domestic violence survivors who can't afford an attorney. Sent 2: Domestic violence survivors in Jackson, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Oxford and Pascagoula can all get help. Sent 3: Julia Crockett, deputy director of Central Southwest Mississippi Legal Services Corp., said the program expects to help nearly 1,000 domestic violence victims. Sent 4: Crockett said legal help gives domestic abuse survivors a way to rebuild their lives. Sent 5: "They have been made to feel by the abuser that no one is going to help them do anything, so when they come to us they are desperate," she said. Sent 6: "Those who need legal help and don't get it feel totally lost. Sent 7: Because then they feel like they are forced to stay in that situation."Sent 8: Crockett said the program, funded by a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Justice Department, has no economic restrictions on who can get help. Sent 9: Legal services typically helps the poor. Sent 10: Gladys Bunzy, who said she was in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend for eight years, said such a program is long overdue and could be a lifeline for those escaping violent relationships. Sent 11: "When I finally made up my mind to leave, I had a restraining order put against him and that was $50 but that was $50 well spent to me," said Bunzy, 40. Sent 12: "For people who can't afford it, this will be a godsend ... If a woman knows she is going to get some help that will be a burden off her mind, if the law will help her keep that person away from her."Sent 13: Gwen Bouie-Haynes, project director of the Domestic Violence Services Center for Catholic Charities Inc., said often domestic violence survivors do not have the money to seek legal representation. Sent 14: "Legal assistance is a major issue for women fleeing a domestic violence situation," she said. Sent 15: "Often times women are in need of immediate legal assistance services for the protection of the mother and the child. Sent 16: To get a protective order you need to be represented by an attorney."Sent 17: Crockett said the pilot program was launched in 1998 at the Haven House Family Shelter Inc., a domestic violence shelter for women and children in Vicksburg. Sent 18: The program has helped victims in 90 court cases, and 150 legal counseling sessions have been held there. Question: What were the two reasons women don't seek out help? (A) Finding legal assistance, and the belief that no one will help them anyway (B) There are always ways to resolve it weithour attorneys. They feel ashamed to ask for help due to social stigma associated with domestic abuse (C) They have been made to feel by the abuser that no one is going to help them do anything. They do not have the money to seek legal representation.

Sent 4: Their sturdy little forms--ever so much shorter and thicker than the mooncalf herds--were scattered up the slope in a way that was eloquent of indecision. Sent 5: I had the moral advantage of a mad bull in a street. Sent 6: But for all that, there seemed a tremendous crowd of them. Sent 7: Very probably there was. Sent 8: Those Selenites down the cleft had certainly some infernally long spears. Sent 9: It might be they had other surprises for us.... But, confound it! Sent 10: if we charged up the cave we should let them up behind us, and if we didn't those little brutes up the cave would probably get reinforced. Sent 11: Heaven alone knew what tremendous engines of warfare--guns, bombs, terrestrial torpedoes--this unknown world below our feet, this vaster world of which we had only pricked the outer cuticle, might not presently send up to our destruction. Sent 12: It became clear the only thing to do was to charge! Sent 13: It became clearer as the legs of a number of fresh Selenites appeared running down the cavern towards us.
