A circus piece is supposed to be festive and entertaining, so the man's behavior is contradictory to the circus piece
Context: "I had played a lot of souza in band class, but I didn't expect the man to be so serious and dour."
Hypothesis: Sure, I'd played plenty of souza in band class, but I hadn't expected something llike a circus piece man.
Based on the context, is the hypothesis true, false, or unknown?
