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 coherent / plausible by writing "1" or "2" in the output. If both sentences are plausible, pick the one that makes most 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: 1
Here is why: People generally don't feel happy about natural disasters like storms. Therefore, we choose 1 in this case.

OK. solve this:
Beginning: Maya was new in class. Middle 1: There was a girl in class that asked to be her friend and helped her with some class assignments. Maya did her assignments but got zeroes. Middle 2: There was a girl in class that asked to be her friend and helped her with some class assignments. Maya did her assignments perfectly. Ending: Then she thanked the kind girl for helping her.
