An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager receives a question and selects candidate answers based upon a lexical answer type included in the question. The knowledge manager evaluates the candidate answers against conditions detected in the question and generates condition fulfillment scores accordingly. In turn, the knowledge manager ranks the candidate answers based upon the corresponding condition fulfillment scores.
