For each pair of sentences,
assume that the first sentence (S1)
is true, describes a real scenario, or expresses an opinion.
Using your best judgment,
indicate how likely it is that
the second sentence (S2) is also true, describes the same
scenario, or expresses the same opinion. Several examples are given below
Example 1: In the below example, the pair is extremely likely (rating of 5) because we can be very confident that if a person is ‘‘on a
beach’’ than that person is ‘‘outside’’.
S1: A woman is on a beach with her feet in the water.
S2: The woman is outside.
Example 2: In the below example, the pair is not at all likely likely (rating of 1) because we can be very confident that if a person is ‘‘on a
beach’’ then that person is NOT ‘‘in her living room’’.
S1: A woman is on a beach with her feet in the water.
S2: The woman is in her living room.
Example 3: In the below example, the pair is in the middle (rating of 3) because knowing that woman is on the beach does not give us
any information about the color of her hair and so we cannot
reasonably make a judgment about whether or not her hair is
brown.
S1: A woman is on a beach with her feet in the water.
S2: The woman has brown hair.
