    This function takes in an input that contains the complete lod information,

    The output is the true branch and the false branch with the mask applied to
    the input at a certain level in the tensor.

                                lod information needed to construct the output.
        mask(list): A bool column vector which masks the input.
        level(int): The specific lod level to rank.

    Returns:
        Variable: The true branch of tensor as per the mask applied to input.
        Variable: The false branch of tensor as per the mask applied to input.
