question:Extract the answer to the following question from the movie plot. If the question isn't answerable, please output "Can't answer". Question: Who did Japanese soldiers want to rape? Title: The Flowers of War Movie plot: An American mortician, John Miller (Bale), arrives in Nanjing in order to bury the foreign head priest of a convent for Catholic girls, just after the city was bombed and invaded by the Japanese forces. A short time after his arrival at the convent, a group of flamboyant prostitutes from the local red-light district find their way to the compound looking for shelter, as foreigners and foreign institutions seem to be left alone by the marauding Japanese soldiers. While the prostitutes hide out in the cellar, Miller struggles with and finally gives in to his feelings of responsibility to protect the teenage schoolgirls, and poses as the convent's priest when the compound is repeatedly visited by Japanese soldiers looking for girls to rape. With the help of Chinese collaborator Mr. Meng (Kefan), who is the father of one of the girls, he starts to repair the convent's truck in case there should be an opportunity to bring the girls out of Nanjing.Japanese Colonel Hasegawa (Watabe) finally promises to protect the convent by placing guards in front of the gate, and requests that the girls sing a choral for him. After the performance, he hands Miller an official invitation for the girls to sing at the Japanese Army's victory celebration. Fearing for their safety (especially since the guards' main concern seems to be not letting any of the girls leave the compound), Miller declines. Hasegawa informs him that it is not a request, but an order and that the girls are going to be picked up the next day. Before they leave, the Japanese soldiers count the girls and erroneously include one of the prostitutes (who has strayed from the cellar looking for her cat), totalling 13.Induced by their de-facto leader Yu Mo (Ni), the prostitutes decide to protect the girls by meeting the Japanese on their behalf. As they are only twelve, the former convent priest's adopted son volunteers as well. Miller initially opposes their self-sacrificing decision, but ultimately assists in disguising them, using his skills as a mortician.The next... A:
answer:The Japanese soldiers wanted to rape the teenage schoolgirls at the convent in the movie "The Flowers of War."
question:I'll give you a question, please answer with step-by-step reasoning process. John bought a ferret at a pet shop. He couldn't take it on the bus, so he called something else. What might he have called? Options: - cousin's house - taxi cab - own home - friend - wood pile
answer:John might have called a taxi cab. Here's the step-by-step reasoning process: 1. John bought a ferret and needed transportation to take it home. 2. He couldn't take the ferret on the bus. 3. He needs an alternative mode of transportation. 4. The options provided are a cousin's house, a taxi cab, own home, a friend, and a wood pile. 5. We can eliminate the cousin's house as it's a location and not a form of transportation. 6. We can eliminate own home as it's a location he's trying to get to. 7. We can eliminate the wood pile as it's unrelated to transportation. 8. Friend is a possible option, but we don't have enough information to confirm whether the friend has a vehicle or is available to help. 9. A taxi cab is a viable alternative mode of transportation John might call to take the ferret home.
question:This is a correct answer to the following question about Pendulum. Yes or no? Answer: When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position , it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. Question: How did the pendulum improve upon earlier clocks? Answer:
answer:Yes, the statement about the pendulum is correct. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. Now, to answer the question about how the pendulum improved upon earlier clocks: The pendulum improved upon earlier clocks by offering greater accuracy and consistency in timekeeping. Prior to the invention of the pendulum clock, mechanical clocks relied on different methods to control their rate, such as water flow or verge escapements. These earlier clocks were often inaccurate and inconsistent in their timekeeping. The introduction of the pendulum allowed for a more reliable and stable source of periodic motion, as the swing of a pendulum is less affected by external factors like temperature, pressure, or friction, compared to other methods. This increased accuracy in timekeeping revolutionized the world of horology and led to advancements in various fields, including navigation, astronomy, and scientific experiments.
question:If "A child looking up into the sky and pointing.", does this mean that "The child is outside."? Select from the following. -- yes -- it is not possible to tell -- no
answer:To determine the answer, let's examine the provided information step-by-step: 1. The statement describes "A child looking up into the sky and pointing." This tells us that the child can see the sky, which is typically an outdoor setting. 2. However, it is possible for the child to be looking at the sky through a window or another transparent structure that allows the sky to be visible from indoors. Based on these considerations, the most appropriate answer is: -- it is not possible to tell
