the return to normal has been rapid
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage states that 'the return to normal has been rapid' and that Great Britain was 'again credited with the largest amounts exported from India' in the year following the war, supporting the claim that India returned to normal trade with Great Britain. The data shows Great Britain remained the top export destination in 1920, though the absolute values decreased from earlier years.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The quote does not support the specific claim about Great Britain. The passage states 'the return to normal has been rapid' as a general statement about India's trade returning to normal with its pre-war trading partners (the mother country, France, and Ceylon collectively). The quote does not specifically attribute the return to normal trade to Great Britain alone. Additionally, while the claim's time qualifier is reasonable given the passage discusses 'the year following the war,' the quote is too general and does not provide specific evidence for the object 'Great Britain' as stated in the claim.
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states 'the return to normal has been rapid' and identifies Great Britain, France, and Ceylon as the three main pre-war trade partners that resumed being 'the largest amounts exported from India.' The claim accurately paraphrases the passage's assertion, though it uses 'returned to normal trade with' which is a minor rewording of the original phrasing.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.80 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage qualifiers. The viewpoint, stance, and sentiment are correct - the author asserts this neutrally. The temporal qualifier is appropriate: 'year following the war' correctly maps to the 1920 fiscal year shown in the data (ending March 31, 1920), though the normalized dates of 1919-1920 are slightly imprecise since the fiscal year ending March 31, 1920 technically spans 1919-1920. The quote is accurate and supports the claim. One minor issue: the passage states 'these three customers were again credited with the largest amounts exported' but the data shows France actually exceeded Great Britain in 1920 (9,256,352 vs 8,138,144 pounds), so while the claim of 'return to normal trade' is supported, the claim should not necessarily group them as equals in importance in 1920. However, the core qualifier fidelity is maintained since the passage does identify all three as the primary trading partners to which India returned. Context is appropriately empty as the passage provides no restrictive context.
