29 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from HYPERTENSION IN ADULTS_Final, published by icmr.gov.in. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 7 of the 29 pairs (24.1%) are explanatory questions and 22 restate a figure. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
