Example of a question that requires an understanding of the quantifiers in both the question and the answers.

Complex Inference — Quantifiers
Question Which of the following is a factor that will cause different species to compete less? (GR:5) 
Focus Word(s) (NN_species, 0.50) (JJ_less, 0.17) (VB_compete, 0.13) (VB_cause, 0.10) (JJ_different, 0.07) (NN_factor, 0.03) 
Issue Requires connecting the idea that a large supply causes less competition. The focus word extractor does not currently detect quantifiers, and as such the focus words for the correct answer do not include large
 
Correct Answer A large supply of resources 
Focus Word(s) (NN_supply, 0.92) (NN_resource, 0.08) 
 
Chosen Answer Lack of space 
Focus Word(s) (NN_space, 0.92) (NN_lack, 0.08)
