SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
was returned
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Given the context of money/silver being found again, 'was returned' is a more precise and common English rendering than 'was brought back'; both are valid but 'was returned' aligns with the action described. |
