Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

The context clearly refers to a specific sporting event (the Real Madrid vs Ajax match in the Champions League). The phrase "in the game played on the 23rd of November" and "a few minutes before the end of the game" both describe a single instance of a sports contest that has duration. Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") with the example "the game lasted two hours" is the most precise match for this usage.

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

The context is about a Real Madrid vs Ajax match in the European Champions League. The word "game" appears in: "in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax" and "a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won)".

This is clearly referring to a sports match/contest. Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: - "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This could work, but it's very general
2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: - "a single play of a sport or other contest" - Examples: "the game lasted two hours" - This is specifically about a single sporting event/match
3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: - "an amusement or pastime" - Not the primary meaning here
4. sense_key=game%1:05:00:: - "animal hunted for food or sport" - Not relevant
5. sense_key=game%1:28:00:: - "(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves" - Too specific to tennis
6. sense_key=game%1:23:00:: - "(games) the score at a particular point" - Not the meaning here
7. sense_key=game%1:13:00:: - "the flesh of wild animals" - Not relevant
8. sense_key=game%1:09:00:: - "a secret scheme" - Not the meaning here
9. sense_key=game%1:06:00:: - "game equipment" - Not the meaning here
10. sense_key=game%1:04:02:: - "your occupation or line of work" - Not the meaning here
11. sense_key=game%1:04:04:: - "frivolous or trifling behavior" - Not the meaning here
12. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: - "a single play of a sport or other contest" - This matches perfectly, as it describes one specific match that had a defined duration and outcome.

The most precise fit is sense 2 (game%1:04:03::), which directly captures a single sporting event rather than the broader concept of a contest with rules.

The context clearly refers to Real Madrid as a sports team playing in a football/soccer match. The passage states "that their team had already won," indicating a cooperative unit of players competing together in a sport. This matches sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with the synonym "squad." Sense 2 (draft animals) is completely inapplicable.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context around the word "team" in the passage.

The context is: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their <t>team</t> had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The passage is discussing a football/soccer game between Real Madrid and Ajax. The word "team" is clearly referring to Real Madrid in this context - it's a group of football/soccer players playing together as a cooperative unit in a sport.

Looking at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
   - This clearly fits the context. A sports team, a cooperative unit of players.

2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something
   - This refers to animals like horses pulling a cart or wagon, which doesn't fit at all.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which is the sports/cooperative unit sense.

Since I should return the sense index (not the sense key), and sense 1 is the first in the list, the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

The context clearly refers to soccer/football players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid) participating in a game. Sense 1 ("a person who participates in or is skilled at some game") is the most appropriate match for this usage.

Let me analyze this context to determine the best sense for "players".

The context is about Real Madrid soccer/football players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) who were involved in a game against Ajax in the European Champions League. The sentence states that "both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The context describes players "deliberately wasted time" during a football match. In this usage, "time" refers to a period of time available as a resource that can be used or wasted. Sense 2 captures this meaning as "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something," which aligns with the example "take time to smell the roses." The players were intentionally consuming the available match time, treating it as a controllable resource.

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

"This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players deliberately wasted <t>time</t> which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The context is about players in a football/soccer match deliberately wasting time at the end of a game. "Wasted time" means they were intentionally delaying the game by slowing down play.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "an instance or single occasion for some event" - This refers to one specific occurrence, like "this time he succeeded". Not the right meaning here.

2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - This is about time as a resource you can use or waste. Examples like "take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish". This could work with "wasted time".

3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - This is a general period of time. Not the right fit.

4. "a suitable moment" - Not relevant here.

5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - This is the philosophical/physical concept of time. Not the right fit.

6. "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - Not relevant here.

7. "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - This is about clock time or specific moment. Not relevant.

8. "the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event" - Physical/scientific definition. Not relevant.

9. "rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration" - This is musical time/rhythm. Not relevant.

10. "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - This is specifically about prison sentence. Not relevant.
Sense 2 best captures what's happening here. In the soccer context, the players are treating time as a controllable resource that they deliberately consume—they're using up the available minutes to their advantage. This matches the definition of time as something under your control that can be spent or wasted, rather than just a general period marked by activities.

The context clearly indicates a sports setting (a football/soccer match in the European Champions League). The referee is the official who shows yellow cards to players for unsportsmanlike conduct (deliberately wasting time). This matches sense 1, which defines referee as "the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play." The other senses (manuscript reviewer and legal official) are not applicable in this sports context.

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

The sentence is: "both players deliberately wasted time which made the <t>referee</t> show the second yellow card to both of them."

This is clearly a sports context - we're talking about a football/soccer game between Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. The referee is the official who is showing yellow cards during the game.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=referee%1:18:00:: | definition=(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play | synonyms=ref
   - This is about a sports official who ensures fair play and can give penalties like yellow cards

2. sense_key=referee%1:18:01:: | definition=someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication | synonyms=reviewer, reader
   - This is about reviewing manuscripts for publication - clearly not relevant

3. sense_key=referee%1:18:02:: | definition=an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case
   - This is about legal proceedings - not relevant

The context is clearly about a sports game (Champions League football), and the referee is showing yellow cards. This matches sense 1 perfectly - it's the sports official who ensures fair play.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

Let me analyze the context where "way" is used:

"This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre..."

The phrase is "This way, and since..."

Looking at the context, "way" here is being used in the sense of "manner" or "method" - it's saying "in this manner" or "as a result of this" or "this way of doing things."

The sentence is explaining how/in what manner the situation will proceed. The speaker is saying "As a consequence of this manner of acting" or "This being how things happened."

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "how something is done or how it happens" - manner, mode, style, fashion. This seems like a good fit.
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - means, agency. Could work.
3. "a line leading to a place or point" - direction. Not applicable here.
4. "the condition of things generally" - "that's the way it is". Could work contextually.
5. "a course of conduct" - path, way of life. Not really.
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - physical way. Not here.
7. "a journey or passage" - Not here.
8. "space for movement" - room. Not here.
9. "the property of distance in general" - Not here.
10. "doing as one pleases or chooses" - Not here.
11. "a general category of things" - Not here.
12. "a portion divided into shares" - Not here.

The most likely is sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode, style). This fits the use of "This way" meaning "in this manner/fashion/way of doing things."

This could also be sense 4, but sense 1 is more specific and better fits the usage pattern.
Sense 1 is the answer.

The context refers to the Champions League group stage, where teams are organized into groups for the competition. "Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group" describes a collection of teams considered together as an organizational unit for the tournament. This matches sense 1: "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit."

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

In the sentence: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its <t>group</t>, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre..."

The context is discussing a Champions League competition. In European Champions League, teams are divided into groups during the group stage. Each group consists of multiple teams that play against each other. Real Madrid is described as the "leader of its group," referring to the group stage of the competition where teams are organized into different groups.

So "group" here refers to a collection of teams/entities organized together for the purpose of the competition. This is about organizing multiple entities into a unit.

Let me check each sense:

1. sense_key=group%1:03:00:: | definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit | synonyms=grouping
   - This fits: a group of teams in the Champions League is indeed "entities considered as a unit"

2. sense_key=group%1:27:00:: | definition=(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule | synonyms=radical, chemical group
   - This is chemistry, clearly not relevant here

3. sense_key=group%1:09:00:: | definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse | synonyms=mathematical group
   - This is a mathematical concept, not relevant

The answer is clearly sense 1, which refers to "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" - which is exactly what a group in a Champions League competition is.

The context clearly describes Real Madrid football/soccer players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in a Champions League match, discussing their behavior during gameplay, yellow cards, and subsequent sanctions. This matches sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," as it directly refers to athletes participating in a sport.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "players" in this text.

The context is about Real Madrid football/soccer players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) who deliberately wasted time in a European Champions League game against Ajax. The text discusses their unsportsmanlike behavior, their expulsion/yellow cards, and subsequent sanctions.

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant
   - This is about people who play games, including sports like soccer/football.

2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist
   - This is about musicians, not relevant to the context.

3. sense_key=player%1:18:00:: | definition=a theatrical performer | synonyms=actor, histrion, thespian, role player
   - This is about actors/theatrical performers, not relevant.

4. sense_key=player%1:18:04:: | definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously
   - This is about dating/romantic behavior, not relevant.

5. sense_key=player%1:18:03:: | definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation
   - This is about important participants in business or major deals, not specifically about sports.

The text is clearly talking about football/soccer players. The context explicitly mentions:
- "players of Real Madrid"
- "in the game"
- "the referee show the second yellow card"
- "Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group"
- "the trainer of the team"
- The passage is specifically about athletes participating in a sport, making sense 1 the correct choice since it directly defines players as people who participate in games.

The word "game" in this context refers to a single football/soccer match ("the next game of league, against Auxerre"). This matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest," which is exemplified by "the game lasted two hours." The context clearly indicates a specific sporting event rather than a general concept of games or competition rules.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "game" in the provided text.

The sentence is: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre..."

The context is about:
- A Real Madrid football/soccer match
- The discussion is about European Champions League and league matches
- The sentence refers to "the next game of league" - meaning the next league match/game that Real Madrid will play
- It's specifically referring to a single football match against Auxerre

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - general definition
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - "the game lasted two hours"
3. An amusement or pastime
4. Animal hunted for food or sport
5. (tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
6. (games) the score at a particular point
7. Flesh of wild animals for food
8. A secret scheme
9. Game equipment
10. Occupation or line of work
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior

In this context, "game" refers to a single football/soccer match. This is clearly referring to:
- Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with example "the game lasted two hours"

This is the most accurate fit because:
- It's a single match/contest (not the general concept of the game)
- It's a sport (football/soccer)
- "the next game of league" clearly means the next match

Sense 1 could work but it's more about the general concept of a game as a contest type, while sense 2 specifically refers to a single instance/play of a sport.

The answer should be sense 2.

The target word "league" refers to a sports competition context where Real Madrid players will participate in "the next game of league" against Auxerre. This clearly indicates an association of sports teams that organizes matches—the most specific and contextually appropriate sense from the candidates provided.

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

The sentence is: "both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of <t>league</t>, against Auxerre"

Looking at the context:
- This is about European Champions League and UEFA
- It's about a football/soccer game between Real Madrid and Auxerre
- The text mentions "league" in the context of sports competition - specifically the league that Real Madrid participates in

The three candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=league%1:14:01:: - "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members"
2. sense_key=league%1:14:00:: - "an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action"
3. sense_key=league%1:23:00:: - "an obsolete unit of distance of variable length (usually 3 miles)"

Sense 3 (unit of distance) is clearly not relevant here.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is specifically about sports teams and organizing matches
- Sense 2 is more general about associations for common action

In the context "the next game of league, against Auxerre," this is clearly referring to the sports league - the association of sports teams that organizes matches. This is talking about a football/soccer league where Real Madrid plays regular matches.

Sense 1 is the most specific and appropriate: "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members"

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The target word "phase" in this context refers to a distinct time period in a sequence of events within a sports competition. The sentence indicates that the players will be able to return and compete in "the following phase" of the league, meaning the next stage or period of matches. This aligns with sense 1, which defines phase as "any distinct time period in a sequence of events" with the synonym "stage."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context around the word "phase" in this text about a sports/fraud case.

The relevant sentence is: "both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following <t>phase</t>."

This is talking about when the players will be able to get rid of their yellow cards - apparently in the following "phase". In the context of sports competitions, this seems to refer to a distinct time period or stage in a sequence of events.

Let me check each sense:

1. sense_key=phase%1:28:00:: - "any distinct time period in a sequence of events" | synonyms=stage. This matches perfectly - the "next phase" would be the next distinct period in the competition sequence.

2. sense_key=phase%1:26:00:: - "(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system" - This is about chemistry/physics states, not relevant here.

3. sense_key=phase%1:28:01:: - "a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle" - This is about angles and cycles in a technical sense, not relevant.

4. sense_key=phase%1:07:00:: - "(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination (especially one of the recurring shapes of the part of Earth's moon that is illuminated by the sun)" - This is about the moon's appearance, not relevant.

The context clearly refers to "phase" as a distinct time period in the sports competition sequence - specifically the next stage/period when the players will be eligible to play again. This is sense 1.
The answer is sense_index 1.

The context describes "the committee of discipline of the UEFA," which is a formal group that has been delegated the specific responsibility of considering disciplinary matters in football. This matches sense 1 perfectly: "a special group delegated to consider some matter." The UEFA disciplinary committee is an officially constituted body with a defined mandate, not a self-constituted grassroots organization as described in sense 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "committee" in this sentence:

"Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

The context shows that:
1. This is the "committee of discipline of the UEFA" - a formal UEFA body
2. It has been delegated the specific task of considering disciplinary matters
3. It is making official decisions about sanctions in a football/soccer matter
4. It's a formal organizational structure, not a citizen-initiated organization

Now let me look at the two candidate senses:

Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - This fits perfectly. The committee of discipline is indeed a special group that has been delegated to consider disciplinary matters in football.

Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something" - This describes a more grassroots, citizen-initiated organization. The UEFA committee of discipline is not self-constituted but rather part of the formal UEFA structure.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, as it describes a formally designated group with a specific delegated responsibility, which matches the "committee of discipline of the UEFA" mentioned in the context.

The target word "games" in the phrase "sanctioned with two games" refers to individual matches in the UEFA Champions League context. The UEFA committee suspended Jose Mourinho for two matches (games). This corresponds to sense 2, which defines "game" as "a single play of a sport or other contest," which perfectly captures the meaning of individual competitive matches in sports.

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

The relevant sentence is: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two <t>games</t> the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho..."

In this context, "games" refers to matches or contests in a sports league. The UEFA committee sanctioned Jose Mourinho by suspending him for two games, meaning he cannot participate in the next two matches.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: | definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game
2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: | definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: | definition=an amusement or pastime
4. sense_key=game%1:05:00:: | definition=animal hunted for food or sport
5. sense_key=game%1:28:00:: | definition=(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
6. sense_key=game%1:23:00:: | definition=(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win
7. sense_key=game%1:13:00:: | definition=the flesh of wild animals that is used for food
8. sense_key=game%1:09:00:: | definition=a secret scheme to do something
9. sense_key=game%1:06:00:: | definition=the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game
10. sense_key=game%1:04:02:: | definition=your occupation or line of work
11. sense_key=game%1:04:04:: | definition=frivolous or trifling behavior

The context clearly indicates that "games" refers to individual matches in a sports competition. Sense 2 (sense_key=game%1:04:03::) with definition "a single play of a sport or other contest" and example "the game lasted two hours" best matches this usage.
The answer is sense index 2.

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

The target word "trainer" appears in this sentence:
"Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

The context is about a soccer/football match and the disciplinary actions taken by UEFA. The word "trainer" is being used to refer to Jose Mourinho, who is the coach/manager of Real Madrid.

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. "one who trains other persons or animals" - This is the general sense of a trainer, someone who instructs or trains others. This would include a sports coach/trainer.

2. "simulator consisting of a machine on the ground that simulates the conditions of flying a plane" - This is a flight simulator, which has nothing to do with the context here.

In football/soccer, a "trainer" is synonymous with "coach" - someone who trains the players. Jose Mourinho is the coach/trainer of Real Madrid. This fits perfectly with sense 1: "one who trains other persons or animals."

The second sense about a flight simulator is clearly not relevant to this sports context.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1.

The word "team" in this context refers to Real Madrid, a cooperative unit in sports. The surrounding context about Champions League football, players, trainers, and sports discipline makes it clear this is sense 1 (a cooperative unit especially in sports, synonym: squad), not sense 2 (draft animals).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "team" in this sentence:

"Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the <t>team</t>, Jose Mourinho..."

The context is about:
1. Real Madrid's football/soccer team
2. A discussion about sports (Champions League, European football)
3. Players, trainers, and disciplinary actions related to football

The target word "team" appears to refer to the Real Madrid football team - a group of players who cooperate together to play sports.

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
   - This is clearly for a sports team context
   - The definition explicitly mentions "especially in sports"
   - The synonym "squad" is very appropriate for a sports team

2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something
   - This is about animals (like horses or oxen) used for pulling
   - This has nothing to do with the context which is about football/sports

Given the context of football (Champions League, players, trainers, etc.), the first sense (team%1:14:00::) is clearly the correct one. It's about a cooperative unit in sports, and "team" refers to Real Madrid's football team.

The answer should be sense index 1.

The target word "amounts" in the phrase "different economic amounts" refers to sums of money—specifically the financial penalties imposed by UEFA on the players. This directly corresponds to sense 1, which defines amount as "a quantity of money" with synonyms "sum" and "sum of money." The modifier "economic" in the context makes this monetary meaning explicit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "amounts" in the context: "the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

Let me analyze each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=amount%1:21:00:: | definition=a quantity of money | synonyms=sum, sum of money, amount of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient

4. sense_key=amount%1:09:00:: | definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers | synonyms=sum, total

In the context, "different economic amounts" clearly refers to different sums of money - fines imposed on the players. The context explicitly says "economic amounts" which strongly suggests money/financial penalties.

Sense 1 is specifically defined as "a quantity of money" with synonyms "sum, sum of money, amount of money". This fits perfectly with "economic amounts" in the context of UEFA sanctions (which are typically financial penalties).

Sense 2 is about relative magnitude with a criterion.
Sense 3 is more general - how much there is of something you can quantify.
Sense 4 is specifically about the result of addition of numbers.

The best fit is sense 1 - "a quantity of money" because:
- The context mentions "economic amounts"
- This clearly refers to financial penalties/fines
- Sense 1's definition and synonyms directly align with this meaning

The context clearly refers to football/soccer players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid). This is unambiguously sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," as the entire passage discusses participants in a sports game. The other senses are inapplicable—there is no musical context (sense 2), theatrical context (sense 3), romantic/social context (sense 4), or business deal context (sense 5).

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

The context is about:
- Real Madrid football/soccer match against Ajax
- Two players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) of Real Madrid
- The UEFA disciplinary committee sanctioning "the implied players"
- Discussion about behavior in football/soccer

The text is clearly in a sports context, specifically football/soccer. The "players" being discussed are:
1. Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos (who are football players)
2. The general discussion of football players engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits perfectly. Football/soccer is a game, and these are people who participate in it.
2. "someone who plays a musical instrument" - This doesn't fit at all. No musical context.
3. "a theatrical performer" - This doesn't fit. Not about acting or theater.
4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - This doesn't fit the context at all.
5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - While Alonso and Ramos could be considered important participants, this sense is more about business deals, not sports.

The best fit is clearly sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - because the context is about football players, people who participate in the game of football.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The context describes how players deliberately wasted time to provoke the referee into issuing a yellow card. The phrase "provocation of a yellow card" refers to something that incites or triggers action (the referee's response), which directly matches sense 2's definition: "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action" with synonyms "incitement, incitation."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for "provocation."

From the context:
"The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

This sentence is discussing the deliberate action of players wasting time to provoke the referee into showing a yellow card. So "provocation of a yellow card" means deliberately inciting or stimulating the referee to issue a yellow card.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=provocation%1:04:00:: | definition=unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment | synonyms=aggravation, irritation
   - This refers to behavior that causes anger/resentment. While the players' behavior might be seen as unfriendly, this doesn't capture the meaning of deliberately trying to incite/provoke a yellow card.

2. sense_key=provocation%1:16:00:: | definition=something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action | synonyms=incitement, incitation
   - This refers to something that incites or provokes action. In the context, "provocation of a yellow card" means something that incites the referee to action (issuing a yellow card). This fits well.

3. sense_key=provocation%1:10:00:: | definition=needed encouragement | synonyms=incitement | examples=the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation
   - This is about "needed encouragement" which doesn't quite fit. The context isn't about encouragement being needed.

The phrase "provocation of a yellow card" means deliberately inciting or triggering the issuance of a yellow card. This best matches sense 2, which defines provocation as "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action."
Sense 2 is the correct answer because it directly captures the idea of deliberately triggering or inciting the referee's action through deliberate time-wasting behavior.

The word "circumstances" in this context refers to the set of facts and conditions surrounding similar football incidents (the overall context or setting of situations where players deliberately provoke yellow cards). The phrase "in similar circumstances as this one" indicates the author is discussing the broader context and setting of comparable events in football, which aligns with sense 2's definition of "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event."

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

The context is about a football/soccer incident where players deliberately wasted time to get yellow cards. The sentence reads: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

Let me consider each sense:

1. sense_key=circumstance%1:26:01:: - "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity" - This refers to conditions surrounding an event.

2. sense_key=circumstance%1:26:02:: - "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event" with synonyms context, setting - This refers to the overall context or setting of a situation.

3. sense_key=circumstance%1:09:00:: - "information that should be kept in mind when making a decision" with synonyms condition, consideration - This refers to information that matters for decision-making.

4. sense_key=circumstance%1:11:00:: - "formal ceremony about important occasions" with examples "pomp and circumstance" - This is clearly about ceremony, which doesn't fit.

In the sentence "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice," the word "circumstances" refers to the specific conditions, context, or situation similar to the incident being described. This is referring to the set of conditions and facts surrounding the football incident.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate because it describes "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event" which matches how the word is used - referring to the context/setting of similar football situations.

However, sense 1 could also work - "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity" - as it refers to conditions that are present in similar situations.

The phrase "in similar circumstances" is asking about similar conditions/situations. Sense 2 with its synonyms "context, setting" seems to fit best, as it's talking about the overall context of similar situations.

Sense 1 is also quite close, but sense 2 is the stronger match since it explicitly captures "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event"—which directly mirrors what we're looking for here. The answer is index 2.

The target word "practice" refers to a customary way of operation or behavior in football—deliberately provoking yellow cards. The context explicitly states it "is part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport," which aligns perfectly with sense 1's definition of "a customary way of operation or behavior." This is parallel to the example "it is their practice to give annual raises," where practice describes an established, habitual behavior.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "practice" in this sentence:

"The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

The context is discussing whether deliberately provoking a yellow card in football is a common behavior or not. The author is saying that this behavior is not new, but rather is a frequent practice in football.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a customary way of operation or behavior" - This fits well. The context is saying that provoking yellow cards is a customary way of operation in football, a behavior that is frequent and part of the ethos.

2. "systematic training by multiple repetitions" - This doesn't fit. The context is not about training or repetitions of exercises.

3. "translating an idea into action" - This doesn't fit well. While there is some action happening, the focus is on a customary behavior, not the translation of theory to action.

4. "the exercise of a profession" - This doesn't fit. This is about practicing law or medicine, not about a common behavior in sports.

5. "knowledge of how something is usually done" - This could fit somewhat, but it's more about knowledge than about the behavior itself.

The best fit is sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior". The context explicitly talks about this being "part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport" - which aligns perfectly with a customary way of operation or behavior.

The example "it is their practice to give annual raises" is very similar to the usage here - both describe customary behaviors.

The phrase "world of football" refers to a distinct sphere or domain within which football operates. Sense 6 ("a part of the earth that can be considered separately") best captures this meaning, as it refers to a particular field or realm of activity. The provided example "the world of insects" is structurally parallel to "the world of football."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "world" in this passage.

The sentence is: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

The phrase "world of football" is key here. It's referring to the realm or domain of football - the sphere in which football is played and discussed.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "everything that exists anywhere" - No, this is too broad and doesn't fit the context.
2. "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" - This could work, as it mentions "domain"
3. "all of your experiences that determine how things appear to you" - No, not relevant.
4. "the 3rd planet from the sun" - No, not relevant.
5. "people in general considered as a whole" - No, not specific enough.
6. "a part of the earth that can be considered separately" - This could work, but "world of football" is more about a domain/field than a geographic part.
7. "the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven" - No, not relevant.
8. "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth" - No, too broad.

Looking more carefully at sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest" with synonym "domain" - this fits perfectly. The "world of football" refers to the domain or sphere of football, the community/people involved in football.

Sense 6 also has "world of insects" as an example, which is similar in structure to "world of football," but sense 2 with its synonym "domain" seems more accurate for this usage.

Actually, sense 6 says "a part of the earth that can be considered separately" with example "the outdoor world; the world of insects". This is actually quite similar to "world of football" - a distinct sphere or domain.
Comparing the two options, sense 6 appears to be the better fit since it explicitly describes distinct domains like "world of insects," which parallels "world of football" as a specialized field. The answer is sense 6.
