Target lemma: report
Target surface form: reported
Context:
The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical challenge. Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users. There were relatively few cases <t>reported</t> of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common. Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare

The word "reported" in this context means "announced as the result of an investigation or experience or finding." The sentence discusses cases that were discovered and documented through the conference investigation regarding attempts to involve users in service planning. This matches sense 2, which captures the meaning of announcing findings from an investigation, similar to the example "Dozens of incidents of wife beatings are reported daily in this city."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"There were relatively few cases <t>reported</t> of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The phrase is "cases reported of attempts to involve users" - so this is talking about cases that were reported. The sense of "reported" here is about announcing or making known something that was found or discovered through investigation/observation.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "to give an account or representation of in words" - describe, account. This is too general.

2. "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" - This fits well. The context talks about cases that were reported/announced as findings from the conference/investigation. Examples include "Dozens of incidents of wife beatings are reported daily" which is similar to "cases reported of attempts to involve users."

3. "announce one's presence" - This doesn't fit. Not about someone announcing their presence.

4. "make known to the authorities" - This could fit slightly, but the context isn't about reporting to authorities specifically, but rather reporting findings from the conference.

5. "be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism" - This is more about journalism coverage, not about reporting findings.

6. "complain about; make a charge against" - This doesn't fit. Not complaining.

The best fit is sense 2: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" because the context is about reporting findings from a conference/investigation. The phrase "cases reported of attempts to involve users" means cases that were announced/found as a result of the investigation/conference.

The context describes efforts to involve service users in planning activities within an organizational/conference setting. "Attempts to involve users" clearly refers to endeavors or efforts intended to accomplish a goal—matching sense 1 (earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something), rather than sense 2 which involves attacking or harmful actions.

finish_reason: stop

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "attempts" is being used.

The context is: "There were relatively few cases reported of <t>attempts</t> to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

This is clearly referring to efforts or endeavors to involve users in service planning. The sentence is discussing organizational activities and participation in decision-making processes - specifically attempts (efforts) to include users/service users in planning activities.

Let me examine the two senses:

1. sense_key=attempt%1:04:00:: - "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" with synonyms: effort, endeavor, endeavour, try
   Examples: "made an effort to cover all the reading material; wished him luck in his endeavor"

2. sense_key=attempt%1:04:02:: - "the act of attacking" with synonyms: attack
   Examples: "attacks on women increased last year; they made an attempt on his life"

The context clearly indicates sense 1 is correct. The sentence is about organizational efforts to involve service users in planning - this is about an endeavor or effort to accomplish something (involving users), not about any kind of attack or violent action.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context describes "attempts to involve users in service planning," which clearly means to engage users as participants in the planning process. This matches sense 2 ("engage as a participant") most precisely. The sentence is about including service users in the decision-making and planning activities, not just about containing them as a part (sense 5) or implying necessity (sense 3).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The target word is "involve" and I need to determine which sense is being used.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "connect closely and often incriminatingly" - Not appropriate here. The context doesn't suggest any criminal or incriminating connection.

2. "engage as a participant" - This could work. The sentence is about involving users in service planning, which could mean engaging them as participants.

3. "have as a necessary feature" - This could work. Service planning requires user involvement (as a necessary feature).

4. "require as useful, just, or proper" - This is similar to sense 3, about requirement/necessity.

5. "contain as a part" - This could work too. Involving users in service planning means including them as a part.

6. "occupy or engage the interest of" - This doesn't fit. The context isn't about engaging their interest or attention, but about participation in planning.

7. "make complex or intricate or complicated" - No, this doesn't fit the context at all.

Now, let me think about the context more carefully. The sentence says "attempts to involve users in service planning." This is about getting users to participate in or take part in service planning.

Sense 2 "engage as a participant" seems most direct and appropriate. The phrase "involve users in service planning" clearly means to get users to be participants/engaged in the process of service planning.

Sense 5 "contain as a part" is also plausible - to involve users means to include them as part of the process.

But sense 2 specifically says "engage as a participant" which is the most precise match. The synonyms include "engage" which fits perfectly with the meaning here.
Sense 2 is the best fit—it directly captures how users are being engaged as active participants in the planning process.

The context clearly refers to "service users" – individuals who utilize public welfare services. The passage discusses their involvement in "service planning" and "service provision," indicating people who make use of these services. This corresponds to the general sense of "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something," not the exploitative sense (sense 2) or the drug-related sense (sense 3).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "users" is being used.

The sentence states: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The context is about:
- A conference dealing with critical challenges
- Participants from main interest groups
- Debate about public authorities, social partners, voluntary/community organisations, and "service users"
- Discussion about involving "users" in service planning and service provision
- Variety of roles played by public welfare

The term "users" here refers to "service users" - people who use or make use of public welfare services. This is clearly referring to people who use/consume a service.

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=user%1:18:00:: "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - This is the general sense of someone who uses something.

2. sense_key=user%1:18:01:: "a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically" - This refers to someone who exploits. This doesn't fit the context, which is about service users in a neutral/positive way about their involvement in service planning.

3. sense_key=user%1:18:02:: "a person who takes drugs" - This is clearly not the intended meaning in this context about social services.

The context is clearly about "service users" - people who use public welfare services. This matches sense 1: "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - this is the most general and appropriate sense for someone who uses services.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context discusses "service planning" and "service provision" in the context of welfare and public services. The relevant sense is "work done by one person or group that benefits another," which encompasses the social services being discussed in the passage. This is a standard use of "service" to refer to the work or provision of social/welfare services to users.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "service" in this sentence:

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The context is about a conference discussing the involvement of "service users" in planning and provision. This is clearly in the context of public welfare/social services.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=service%1:04:08:: | definition=work done by one person or group that benefits another | examples=budget separately for goods and services
   - This could fit - it's about services provided

2. sense_key=service%1:04:00:: | definition=an act of help or assistance | examples=he did them a service
   - This is about individual acts of help

3. sense_key=service%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of public worship following prescribed rules
   - Not relevant (religious)

4. sense_key=service%1:14:05:: | definition=a company or agency that performs a public service; subject to government regulation
   - This is about organizations/agencies providing services

5. sense_key=service%1:04:07:: | definition=employment in or work for another
   - This is about employment

6. sense_key=service%1:14:00:: | definition=a force that is a branch of the armed forces
   - Not relevant (military)

7. sense_key=service%1:18:00:: | definition=Canadian writer
   - Not relevant

8. sense_key=service%1:07:00:: | definition=a means of serving
   - Too vague

9. sense_key=service%1:06:00:: | definition=tableware consisting of a complete set of articles
   - Not relevant

The remaining senses—mating by animals, feudal tenant duties, sports strokes, legal writs, vehicle maintenance, and waiter duties—don't apply here. The most appropriate match is sense_key=service%1:04:08::, which captures work performed by one group that benefits another, fitting the discussion of service provision in a social welfare context.

The context discusses organizational efforts to involve users in "service planning" within a formal institutional framework. This refers to the structured process of drawing up plans and designs for service projects/enterprises, which aligns best with sense 2. The passage contrasts "service planning" (the formulation/design phase) with "service provision" (the implementation phase), making sense 2 most appropriate. Sense 3, focused on individual cognitive preparation for contingencies, is too personal/subjective for this organizational context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "planning" in this passage.

The sentence is: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The context is about a conference dealing with organizing and involving users in services. The passage discusses:
- Organizing a conference
- Debating issues about involving different stakeholders
- User involvement in "service planning" vs "service provision"

Now let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=planning%1:04:00:: | definition=an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action | examples=the planning was more fun than the trip itself
   - This is about formulating a program for a course of action
   - This seems to fit the context where "service planning" would mean formulating programs/plans for services

2. sense_key=planning%1:04:02:: | definition=the act or process of drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise
   - This is about drawing up plans or layouts for a project or enterprise
   - This also fits the context where service planning would involve drawing up plans for service projects

3. sense_key=planning%1:09:00:: | definition=the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening | synonyms=preparation, provision | examples=his planning for retirement was hindered by several uncertainties
   - This is about cognitive process of thinking about future contingencies
   - This seems more personal/individual level thinking about what you will do if something happens
   - This seems less likely in this organizational context about service planning

The context is about organizational/institutional service planning. Senses 1 and 2 both relate to formal planning activities, while sense 3 is more about personal preparation and contingency thinking.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: "formulating a program for a definite course of action" - this is more about the program itself
- Sense 2: "drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise" - this is more about the process of creating plans

In an organizational context about involving users in service planning, sense 2 fits better because it emphasizes the process of developing plans for a service enterprise, whereas sense 1 focuses more on the final program. Sense 2 is the most appropriate choice.

The context describes users' **involvement in service provision** - their active participation and engagement in providing services. This matches sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group," with synonyms "engagement" and "participation." The passage contrasts attempts to involve users in planning (fewer cases) versus their actual involvement in provision (more common), indicating active participation in group activities.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "involvement" in this passage.

The sentence in question is: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The context shows that "involvement" refers to the users' participation or engagement in service provision activities. This is talking about how users were participating in or engaged with service provision.

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense 1 (1:04:00)**: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" - synonyms: engagement, participation. This refers to participation in activities of a group. The example is about students' engagement in class activities. This fits well with users being involved in service provision.

2. **sense 2 (1:24:00)**: "a connection of inclusion or containment" - examples about being involved in accidents or liver involvement. This is more about causal involvement or being caught up in something, not really about participation.

3. **sense 3 (1:09:00)**: "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" - This is about having interest/concern, not about active participation.

4. **sense 4 (1:26:00)**: "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship" - This is clearly not relevant.

5. **sense 5 (1:26:01)**: "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" - This is also about participation/sharing.

Both sense 1 and sense 5 seem relevant, but sense 1 is more direct. The context clearly refers to users actively participating in service provision, which matches "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" (sense 1) best. Sense 1 specifically mentions "engagement, participation" which directly align with the context about user involvement in service provision activities.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context discusses "service provision" in the context of public welfare and social services. Sense 1 ("work done by one person or group that benefits another") best captures this meaning, where service provision refers to the delivery of work/activities that benefit service users. This is the standard usage in social policy and welfare contexts when discussing the provision of public services.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The target word is "service" in the phrase "service provision."

Context: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

This is discussing the involvement of users/service users in "service provision" - meaning the actual delivery or delivery of services to the public.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=service%1:04:08:: - "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - examples "budget separately for goods and services" - This is about services as a type of work/product

2. sense_key=service%1:04:00:: - "an act of help or assistance" - This is too general/singular

3. sense_key=service%1:04:01:: - "the act of public worship following prescribed rules" - This is religious, not relevant

4. sense_key=service%1:14:05:: - "a company or agency that performs a public service" - This is about organizations, not the provision itself

5. sense_key=service%1:04:07:: - "employment in or work for another" - This is about employment/work, not provision

6. sense_key=service%1:14:00:: - "a force that is a branch of the armed forces" - Not relevant

7. sense_key=service%1:18:00:: - A person's name - Not relevant

8. sense_key=service%1:07:00:: - "a means of serving" - Too vague

9. sense_key=service%1:06:00:: - "tableware consisting of a complete set of articles" - About dishes, not relevant
10. sense_key=service%1:04:03:: - "the act of mating by male animals" - Not relevant

11. sense_key=service%1:04:09:: - Feudal law - Not relevant

12. sense_key=service%1:04:02:: - Sports stroke - Not relevant

13. sense_key=service%1:04:04:: - Legal delivery of documents - Not relevant

14. sense_key=service%1:04:05:: - "periodic maintenance on a car or machine" - Not relevant

15. sense_key=service%1:04:06:: - "the performance of duties by a waiter or servant" - This is about wait staff performance

Most of these remaining senses are clearly irrelevant to the context of user involvement in service delivery. The biological, legal, sports, and maintenance-related definitions don't apply here.

Looking at sense 1 (service%1:04:08::) - "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - this directly aligns with what the passage describes. Service provision refers to the actual delivery of beneficial work or activities to recipients, whether healthcare, social services, or other support systems. This sense captures the essence of services as activities that create value for those receiving them.

The answer is sense index 1.

The context discusses "their involvement in service **provision**" in contrast with "service planning." Here, "provision" refers to the actual activity of supplying or delivering services, not a stipulated condition, planning process, or stockpile of supplies. The synonyms "supply" and "supplying" directly align with this usage in the sentence.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "provision" in this sentence:

"Their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

Let me look at each sense:

1. **sense_key=provision%1:10:00::** | definition=a stipulated condition | synonyms=proviso
   - This means a condition or requirement. Example: "he accepted subject to one provision"
   - This doesn't fit the context. The sentence is not talking about a stipulated condition.

2. **sense_key=provision%1:04:01::** | definition=the activity of supplying or providing something | synonyms=supply, supplying
   - This means the act of supplying or providing services.
   - In the context "involvement in service provision", this makes sense - it's talking about providing services.
   - This fits well.

3. **sense_key=provision%1:09:00::** | definition=the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening | synonyms=planning, preparation
   - This is about planning ahead or preparation for something.
   - The context contrasts "service planning" with "service provision"
   - If provision meant planning, the sentence would be redundant (service planning vs service provision as planning)
   - This doesn't fit.

4. **sense_key=provision%1:21:00::** | definition=a store or supply of something (especially of food or clothing or arms)
   - This refers to supplies/stockpiles.
   - This doesn't fit the context of "involvement in service provision"

The best fit is **sense 2** - the activity of supplying or providing something. The sentence is contrasting involvement in service planning with involvement in service provision (the actual providing of services). This makes contextual sense.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 2}

The context involves determining through investigation and analysis of conference outcomes that user involvement in service provision was common. The passive construction "was found to be" indicates establishing a fact or conclusion based on examination and study of the reported cases and data, which aligns with sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "found" to determine which sense is best.

The sentence is: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The phrase "was found to be" is a passive construction. The meaning here is that through research/investigation/observation, it was determined or discovered that their involvement in service provision was more common.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. Sense 1: "come upon, as if by accident" - This doesn't fit because this isn't accidental discovery.

2. Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This could work. The example "We found traces of lead in the paint" shows discovering/determining facts.

3. Sense 3: "come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost" - This is about finding lost objects, not applicable here.

4. Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This fits well! The example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" and "find the product of two numbers" show discovering/determining something through systematic investigation.

5. Sense 5: "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions" - Not fitting here.

6. Sense 6: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - Could potentially fit, but less likely.

8. Sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" - Similar to sense 4 but more about the discovery itself.

9. Sense 9: "make a discovery" - Similar concept.

The context suggests that through examination/investigation of the conference data and reports, it was determined/discovered that involvement in service provision was common. This suggests either sense 2 (discover/determine the existence), sense 4 (establish after investigation), or sense 8/9 (make a discovery).
Sense 4 appears most fitting given the research context implies systematic investigation leading to the determination. The passive construction "was found to be more common" in a study setting aligns with establishing something through methodical examination rather than simple discovery. Sense 2 also works—with synonyms like "detect" and "observe"—but sense 4 more precisely captures the investigative process underlying the finding.

The target word "more" in "was found to be more common" is used to form the comparative of the adjective "common," directly matching sense 1. The pattern "more + adjective" (more common) parallels the examples given in sense 1 (more interesting, more beautiful).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "more" is being used.

The sentence in question is: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be <t>more</t> common."

Here, "more" is being used as a comparative form modifying the adjective "common". It's comparing the frequency/prevalence of user involvement in service provision versus service planning.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=more%4:02:00:: | definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | synonyms=to a greater extent | examples=more interesting; more beautiful

2. sense_key=more%4:02:01:: | definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now; they eat more than they should

In the given context, "more common" is a construction where "more" is used to form the comparative of the adjective "common". This matches the first sense perfectly. The examples given in sense 1 ("more interesting", "more beautiful") follow the exact same pattern - using "more" before an adjective to form a comparative.

The second sense seems more focused on the quantitative/degree aspect (like "more now", "more than they should") where "more" is functioning independently to indicate greater quantity or degree.

Since "more common" is clearly using "more" to form the comparative of the adjective "common", the best fit is sense 1 (sense_key=more%4:02:00::).

So the answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The context describes that user involvement in service provision was "found to be more common," meaning it was more frequently encountered or more widespread compared to involvement in service planning. Sense 4 ("commonly encountered") best captures this meaning of something occurring more often or being more frequently found in practice.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and find the best sense for "common" in this passage.

The context is: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

This is saying that user involvement in service provision was found to be more common - meaning it was more frequently occurring, more typical, or more widespread compared to their involvement in service planning.

Let me review the senses:

1. "belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public" - Not the right fit here.
2. "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - This could work, meaning it's widely encountered/ordinary.
3. "common to or shared by two or more parties" - Not the right fit.
4. "commonly encountered" - This could work, meaning frequently found or encountered.
5. "being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language" - Not relevant here.
6. "of or associated with the great masses of people" - Not relevant.
7. "of low or inferior quality or value" - Not relevant.
8. "lacking refinement or cultivation or taste" - Not relevant.
9. "to be expected; standard" - This could work, meaning it's standard or expected.

The key meaning here is that user involvement in service provision happens more frequently or is more widespread. This points to senses 2, 4, or 9.

Sense 2: "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - This is about being ordinary/usual/commonly encountered.
Sense 4: "commonly encountered" - This is similar and means it's frequently found.
Sense 9: "to be expected; standard" - This is about being standard.

The most direct fit is sense 2 or sense 4, which both emphasize the frequency of occurrence. Sense 4 "commonly encountered" is very close to "commonly found" which matches the context of something being "more common."
Sense 4 stands out as the strongest match since it directly captures the idea of something being frequently found or encountered, which aligns perfectly with the passage describing user involvement in service provision as "more common."

The target word "variety" in the context "the variety of different roles played by public welfare" refers to the noticeable heterogeneity or diversity among the roles. The sentence emphasizes that there are multiple different roles - highlighting the quality of being diverse and multifarious. This matches sense 2 (noticeable heterogeneity), which is synonymous with "diversity" and has the similar example "the range and variety of his work is amazing."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense of "variety" in this sentence:

"Note was also taken of the <t>variety</t> of different roles played by public welfare"

The sentence is referring to the fact that there are many different roles played by public welfare services - this is talking about the diversity or range of these roles.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=variety%1:14:01:: - "a collection containing a variety of sorts of things" - This refers to a collection of diverse things. The example is "a great assortment of cars was on display; he had a variety of disorders"

2. sense_key=variety%1:07:00:: - "noticeable heterogeneity" - This means diversity or the quality of being different/diverse. Synonyms: diverseness, diversity, multifariousness. Examples: "a diversity of possibilities; the range and variety of his work is amazing"

3. sense_key=variety%1:14:00:: - "(biology) a taxonomic category..." - This is about biological classification, clearly not relevant here.

4. sense_key=variety%1:10:00:: - "a show consisting of a series of short unrelated performances" - This is entertainment-related, not relevant.

5. sense_key=variety%1:09:01:: - "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality" - This is about types or kinds of things, not about diversity itself.

6. sense_key=variety%1:07:01:: - "a difference that is usually pleasant" - This is about change or novelty, not quite what we need.

The context says "the variety of different roles played by public welfare". This is talking about the fact that there are many different roles - it's about the diversity or heterogeneity of the roles. Both senses 1 and 2 could work:
- Sense 1 frames it as a collection of different roles
- Sense 2 emphasizes the quality of being diverse itself. The phrasing "the variety of different roles" aligns better with sense 2 (noticeable heterogeneity), which captures the range and multiplicity of roles rather than treating them as a mere collection. The example "the range and variety of his work is amazing" parallels the usage here.

Sense 2 is the better fit.

The phrase "the variety of different roles played by public welfare" uses "different" to indicate that the roles are distinct and separate from one another. The example in sense 5, "each interviewed different members of the community," parallels this usage well, where "different" emphasizes the distinct or separate nature of the roles being referenced.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "different" is being used.

The sentence is: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

In this context, "different roles" refers to the various distinct roles that are performed by public welfare. The speaker is noting that there are multiple, varied roles - they are separate from one another.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "unlike in nature or quality or form or degree" - This could fit, as the roles vary in their nature/quality.

2. "distinctly separate from the first" - This implies a comparison between two things in sequence, which doesn't quite fit the context.

3. "differing from all others; not ordinary" - This suggests the roles are unusual or not ordinary, which doesn't seem to be the intended meaning.

4. "marked by dissimilarity" - This suggests the roles are dissimilar to each other.

5. "distinct or separate" - This suggests the roles are separate from one another, treating them as individual units.

Looking at the context more carefully: "the variety of different roles" - the phrase "variety of" already suggests multiplicity and diversity. The word "different" here is being used to emphasize that these are multiple distinct/separate roles.

Sense 5 seems most appropriate: "distinct or separate" with the example "each interviewed different members of the community" - this is very similar in structure to "the variety of different roles".

Sense 1 could also work, but sense 5 seems more precise for this usage.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The variety of different roles" - the most natural reading is that there are multiple roles that are distinct from each other. Sense 5 "distinct or separate" fits best.

The phrase "roles played by public welfare" uses "played" in the sense of performing or assuming a role/part. This directly parallels the examples given for sense 4 ("play a role or part"), such as "Gielgud played Hamlet," where an actor performs a character role. Here, public welfare services perform or fulfill various roles in social provision.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "played" in the sentence:

"Note was also taken of the variety of different roles <t>played</t> by public welfare"

The sentence is discussing the various roles that are taken on or performed by public welfare services. The word "played" here means the roles that are assumed, performed, or acted in by public welfare.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. participate in games or sport - doesn't fit
2. act or have an effect in a specified way - this could work, as roles "have an effect"
3. play on an instrument - doesn't fit
4. play a role or part - THIS FITS PERFECTLY. The definition is "play a role or part" with synonyms "act, represent" and examples like "Gielgud played Hamlet"
5. be at play; be engaged in playful activity - doesn't fit
6-3. various music-related senses - don't fit
8. pretend to have certain qualities - doesn't fit exactly
...and so on

The key phrase is "variety of different roles played by public welfare". This is clearly using "played" in the sense of "to perform a role or part" - which is sense 4.

The examples for sense 4 are: "Gielgud played Hamlet; She wants to act Lady Macbeth"

This is a direct parallel to "roles played by public welfare" - the roles are being performed/acted.

The answer is sense 4.

Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "public" is being used.

The target word is "public" in the phrase "public welfare". Let me look at the context:

"The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services."

And also: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

The two candidate senses are:
1. "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole" - examples include "the public good; public libraries"
2. "affecting the people or community as a whole" - examples include "community leaders; community interests"

In the context, "public welfare" refers to welfare services and systems that are government-run or state-managed, as opposed to private welfare. It's describing welfare that is for/of the people as a whole, managed by public authorities.

Sense 1 fits better here because:
- It explicitly mentions "not private" and "concerning the people as a whole"
- The examples given include "public libraries" which is similar to "public welfare"
- "public good" aligns with the concept of public welfare

Sense 2 talks about "affecting the people or community as a whole" with examples like "community leaders; community interests" - this seems more focused on community impact rather than the public/private distinction.

In the context of "public welfare," the distinction being made is clearly between public (government-run) and private welfare services. This aligns more with sense 1.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context clearly refers to "public welfare services" in the discussion of governmental programs addressing social exclusion. This aligns with sense 1, which defines welfare as "governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need," with synonyms like "social welfare" and "public assistance." The passage is discussing state-level services and social affairs, not abstract well-being (sense 3) or generic benefit (sense 2).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "welfare" in this passage.

The context mentions:
- "The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services."
- The passage discusses "public <t>welfare</t>" and refers to "public welfare services"

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. Sense 1 (welfare%1:04:00::): "governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need" - synonyms: social welfare, public assistance - examples: "she lives on welfare"

2. Sense 2 (welfare%1:07:00::): "something that aids or promotes well-being" - synonyms: benefit - examples: "for the benefit of all"

3. Sense 3 (welfare%1:26:00::): "a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous" - synonyms: wellbeing, upbeat, eudaemonia, eudaimonia - examples: "the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent troubles"

The key phrase is "public welfare services" in the context. This is clearly referring to governmental services that provide economic assistance to persons in need, which aligns with sense 1. The passage discusses social exclusion as a challenge for public welfare services, which makes sense in the context of governmental assistance programs.

Sense 3 is about a contented state of being, which doesn't fit as well. Sense 2 is more general about promoting well-being, but the specific mention of "public welfare services" in the context of social affairs and economic assistance points to sense 1 as the most appropriate.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The text clearly refers to "Foundation" as an organizational entity that organizes conferences, publishes research, and collaborates with government bodies and the European Commission. Sense 2 ("an institution supported by an endowment") is the appropriate match, as it describes an institutional organization of this type, which aligns with how the Foundation is portrayed throughout the passage as an active agent conducting organizational and research activities.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "Foundation."

From the context:
- "The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference..."
- "The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion"
- "The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project..."

The text is clearly referring to an organization that:
1. Organizes conferences
2. Works with government bodies and the European Commission
3. Publishes research studies
4. Has been involved in social welfare projects

This is describing an institution - a formal organizational entity that operates programs and publishes research.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "the basis on which something is grounded" - This is a metaphorical use, not applicable here
2. "an institution supported by an endowment" - This fits! The text is describing an organization/institution
3. "lowest support of a structure" - This is literal/physical, not about an organization
4. "education or instruction in the fundamentals" - This doesn't match the context
5. "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun" - This is abstract, not an entity
6. "a woman's undergarment" - Obviously not
7. "the act of starting something for the first time" - This could potentially fit if we're talking about the founding, but the context is about current activities

Sense 2 (an institution supported by an endowment) is the best match because:
- It refers to an organizational entity
- Foundations are typically institutions supported by endowments
- The context describes the Foundation as an active organization doing specific work (organizing conferences, publishing studies)
- This is the most natural interpretation in contemporary English for capitalized "Foundation" used as a proper noun referring to an organization

The "European Commission" is a governing body consisting of representatives or delegates from EU member states. This matches sense 5's definition of "a group of representatives or delegates" with synonyms including deputation, delegation, and mission. The context of organizing a conference alongside this institutional body indicates it is being referenced as a formal organization of representatives, not a temporary committee or a special assignment.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence reads:

"The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion..."

Here, "Commission" is capitalized and is part of the proper name "European Commission" - which is a specific institution of the European Union. The European Commission is a group of representatives that govern/lead the European Union.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=commission%1:14:00:: - a special group delegated to consider some matter (committee)
2. sense_key=commission%1:21:00:: - a fee for services rendered based on a percentage
3. sense_key=commission%1:04:02:: - the act of granting authority to undertake certain functions
4. sense_key=commission%1:26:00:: - the state of being in good working order
5. sense_key=commission%1:14:01:: - a group of representatives or delegates (deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission)
6. sense_key=commission%1:10:01:: - a formal statement of a command or injunction
7. sense_key=commission%1:10:00:: - an official document issued by a government conferring rank of officer
8. sense_key=commission%1:04:01:: - the act of committing a crime
9. sense_key=commission%1:04:00:: - a special assignment given to a person or group

The European Commission is indeed a group of representatives. The best fit would be either:
- Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
- Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"

Sense 5 seems more precise because it explicitly mentions "representatives or delegates," which better describes the European Commission which consists of representatives from member states (though technically the current European Commission consists of a President and Commissioners appointed from each member state).
Sense 5 is the most appropriate match here, as it directly captures the nature of the European Commission as a body composed of appointed representatives.
