7 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Low back pain, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include lower back pain, pelvic inflammatory disease, acetaminophen, nsaids, opioids, muscle relaxants, back strengthening exercises, physical activity. 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. Question types in the export: 6 list, 1 definition. 7 of the 7 pairs (100.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 0 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
