Student: Given the sentence "Two identically dressed girls climbing a fence." can we conclude that "The twins are late for supper as they try to take a short cut home over the fence."?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no.
Teacher: Let's think:
Identically dressed girls don't have to be twins. Being late for supper is not the only possible explanation for someone to climb a fence. Taking a short cut may not be the motivation for someone to climb a fence. People climbing a fence need not be headed home. So the final answer is it is not possible to tell.
