SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you will borrow
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Corrected from 'you will take a pledge' to 'you will borrow'; in this form, the verb applies to borrowing rather than taking a pledge, as is clear from the parallelism of lending and borrowing in this context. |
