[Example 1]
[Instruction and Question]
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.\n\nBeginning: NAME_1 needed to lose a lot of weight. Middle 1: she decided to hire a fitness trainer and dietician. Middle 2: she decided to hire a fitness trainer and dietician, but it didn't help. Ending: With their help, NAME_1 lost forty pounds!

[Answer]
2

[Rationale]
Middle 1 indicates that NAME_1 took action to achieve her goal of losing weight by hiring a fitness trainer and dietician, and with their help, she succeeded in losing forty pounds. Middle 2 also indicates that NAME_1 hired a fitness trainer and dietician, but despite their help, she didn't achieve her goal of losing weight. So Middle 2 makes less sense.
