10 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Microsoft Word - Document1, published by agritech.tnau.ac.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. 8 of the 10 pairs (80.0%) are explanatory questions and 2 restate a figure. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
