An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"correct_answer": "coriolis effect",
"distractor1": "muon effect",
"distractor2": "centrifugal effect",
"distractor3": "tropical effect",
"question": "What phenomenon makes global winds blow northeast to southwest or the reverse in the northern hemisphere and northwest to southeast or the reverse in the southern hemisphere?",
"support": "\"Without Coriolis Effect the global winds would blow north to south or south to north. But Coriolis makes them blow northeast to..."
