What these tests cover

These tasks ask the model to answer questions using only a supplied passage, without filling gaps from memory or guesswork. They exercise finding relevant details and deciding whether the text supports an answer. Responses must contain only the shortest supported answer, or exactly UNANSWERABLE when the passage does not provide one.
