The phrase "at the top of their group" refers to the team being in the highest/leading position in their group standings. This is a figurative use of "top" meaning the highest level or degree attainable—the pinnacle of achievement within their group. This matches sense 5, which defines it as "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" with synonyms like peak and pinnacle.

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

"they now at the top of their group"

The sentence is about a basketball team's position in their group standings. "At the top" here means they are in the leading/highest position in their group.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "the upper part of anything" - physical position, like top of a page
2. "the highest or uppermost side of anything" - physical position
3. "the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill)" - physical location at peak
4. "the first half of an inning; while the visiting team is at bat" - baseball term
5. "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" - this means the peak or acme of achievement/attainment
6. "the greatest possible intensity" - intensity
7. "platform surrounding the head of a lower mast" - nautical
8. "a conical child's plaything" - toy
9. "covering for a hole" - physical cover
10. "a garment" - clothing
11. "a canvas tent" - circus tent

In the context "they now at the top of their group," this means they are in the highest position in their group standings - they are the leader. This is a figurative use meaning "the highest level or degree attainable" or "the leading position."

Sense 5 seems most appropriate: "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" with synonyms "acme, height, elevation, peak, pinnacle, summit"

This is about being at the top position in their group, which means being at the highest level of attainment in the standings.

In this sports context, "group" refers to a division or set of competing teams in a tournament structure. The basketball team Caja Laboral is now at the top of their competition group/division, which aligns with sense 1: "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit." The chemistry and mathematical senses are inapplicable here.

finish_reason: stop

role: assistant

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

The context is: "they now at the top of their <t>group</t>"

This is about a sports competition (Baskonia basketball team). The article mentions that Caja Laboral "achieved a stunning 82-91 victory" and are "now at the top of their group."

In sports contexts, particularly in tournaments and competitions, teams are typically organized into groups or divisions. A "group" in this context refers to a set of competing teams that are grouped together as a unit for the purposes of a competition.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=group%1:03:00:: | definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit | synonyms=grouping
   - This is a general sense meaning a collection of things/entities treated as a single unit
   - This fits the sports context where multiple teams are grouped together 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 a chemistry term, completely irrelevant to the sports context

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 term, also irrelevant to the sports context

The best answer is clearly sense 1, which refers to a collection of entities (in this case, teams) considered as a unit in a sporting competition/tournament structure.

The context clearly refers to a basketball team - a group of players working together in a sports context. The passage discusses "Dusko Ivanovic's team," "his team," and "The Vitorian team" in the context of a basketball game. This matches sense 1, which defines a team as "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with the synonym "squad." Sense 2, referring to draft animals, is entirely inapplicable here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "team" to determine which sense is most appropriate.

The context is about a basketball game where:
- Baskonia (Caja Laboral) won a game against Maccabee Electra
- The passage discusses "Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses"
- "Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored"
- "The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences..."
- The passage talks about "teamwork"
- It's clearly in a sports context (basketball)

Now let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
   - This is clearly about a group of people working together in sports
   - The example directly mentions "especially in sports"
   - This fits perfectly with the basketball context

2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something
   - This is about animals (horses, oxen, etc.) pulling something
   - This has nothing to do with the basketball context
   - This is clearly not applicable here

The target word "team" in this context refers to the basketball team - a group of players working together in sports. This is clearly sense 1, which is described as "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with the synonym "squad".

The answer should be sense index 1.

The context describes a basketball team compensating for players who were not present at the game (Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov). The phrase "make up for the significant absences" directly refers to the failure of these specific players to be present for the match, making sense 2 ("failure to be present") the most appropriate choice.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "absences" is most appropriate.

The context is about a basketball team (Baskonia/Caja Laboral) that won a game despite the absence of some players (Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov). The sentence states: "The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant <t>absences</t> of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork"

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=absence%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being absent | examples=he was surprised by the absence of any explanation
   - This refers to the state of not being present (abstract notion)

2. sense_key=absence%1:04:00:: | definition=failure to be present
   - This directly refers to the failure/act of not being present (concrete)

3. sense_key=absence%1:28:00:: | definition=the time interval during which something or somebody is away | examples=he visited during my absence
   - This refers to the period of time when someone is absent

4. sense_key=absence%1:26:01:: | definition=the occurrence of an abrupt, transient loss or impairment of consciousness... common in petit mal epilepsy
   - This is a medical term about seizures, clearly not relevant

In the basketball context, the players (Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov) are not present in the game. The team had to "make up for" their absences. This is talking about the fact that these specific players were not there to play.

Sense 2 "failure to be present" seems most appropriate as it captures the specific players' non-presence in the game.
Sense 2 is more concrete and directly addresses the players' non-appearance, whereas sense 1 treats absence as an abstract state. Given that the passage describes a tangible situation where specific individuals didn't show up to play, sense 2 is the clearest fit.

The context describes a basketball team compensating for missing players "with a big dose of involvement and teamwork." This clearly refers to active participation and engagement in the game's activities. The synonyms "engagement" and "participation" directly match the intended meaning—the team members' active involvement in playing together despite absences.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context around "involvement" in this sentence:

"The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory."

The context is about a basketball team compensating for missing players by showing "involvement and teamwork." This is clearly referring to the team members' active participation and engagement in the game/activities.

Let me examine each sense:

1. **sense_key=involvement%1:04:00:: - "the act of sharing in the activities of a group"** with synonyms "engagement, participation, involution" and example "the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities"
   - This matches the context well. The team is showing active participation and engagement in their game.

2. **sense_key=involvement%1:24:00:: - "a connection of inclusion or containment"** with examples "he escaped involvement in the accident; there was additional involvement of the liver and spleen"
   - This doesn't fit - it's about being implicated or affected by something.

3. **sense_key=involvement%1:09:00:: - "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something"** with synonym "interest"
   - While related, this sense emphasizes curiosity/concern rather than active participation.

4. **sense_key=involvement%1:26:00:: - "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship"**
   - This clearly doesn't fit the context.

5. **sense_key=involvement%1:26:01:: - "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)"** with synonym "participation"
   - This is similar to sense 1, but emphasizes the condition of sharing rather than the act of participation.

The best fit is **sense 1** (involvement%1:04:00::) - "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" because the team is actively participating and engaging to compensate for their absent players. The synonyms "engagement" and "participation" directly align with what the team is doing on the court.

The target word "end" in "had to hold out until the end to take the victory" refers to the concluding parts of the basketball game event. The team needed to maintain their performance through the final moments of the game to secure their victory. This matches sense 3's definition of "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" with its synonym "final stage," which is most appropriate for the temporal phase of a sporting event.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "end" appears:

"even though it had to hold out until the <t>end</t> to take the victory"

In this context, the basketball team had to maintain their performance until the final moments/conclusion of the game to secure their victory. The "end" here refers to the final part or conclusion of the basketball game.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. Either extremity of something that has length - Not applicable here
2. The point in time at which something ends - This could work, referring to when the game ends
3. The concluding parts of an event or occurrence - This seems very applicable! The "end of the game" refers to the concluding parts of the game event
4. A goal or objective - Not applicable
5. A final part or section - Could work
6. A final state/destruction - Not applicable
7. Surface at extremity of 3D object - Not applicable
8. Football position - Not applicable
9. A boundary - Not applicable
10. One of two places for communication - Not applicable
11. Part you play - Not applicable
12. Last section of communication - Could work but less likely
13. Piece of cloth leftover - Not applicable
14. American football position - Not applicable

The most fitting sense is **3**: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" with the example "the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie". This perfectly matches the context where the team "had to hold out until the end" of the basketball game (the concluding part/final moments of the event).

Sense 2 "the point in time at which something ends" is also possible, but sense 3 better captures the idea of the concluding portion rather than just a point in time.

The context describes a basketball game where the team achieved "success from the sidelines with 16 three pointers scored." This refers to successful shots taken from the area near the sideline boundary of the basketball court, making sense 1 (the line marking the side boundary of a playing field) the correct choice.

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

The context is about a basketball game: "Baskonia gives away a victory in Israel Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory..."

The sentence containing "sidelines" is: "Additionally, their huge success from the <t>sidelines</t>, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph."

This is talking about basketball performance. The phrase "success from the sidelines with 16 three pointers scored" is referring to shots taken from the sideline area of the basketball court. In basketball, the "sideline" is the boundary line on the sides of the court.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=sideline%1:15:00:: | definition=a line that marks the side boundary of a playing field | synonyms=out of bounds
   - This refers to the physical line that marks the boundary of a playing field

2. sense_key=sideline%1:06:00:: | definition=an auxiliary line of merchandise
   - This is about commercial merchandise, not relevant to basketball

3. sense_key=sideline%1:04:00:: | definition=an auxiliary activity | synonyms=avocation, by-line, hobby, pursuit, spare-time activity
   - This is about secondary activities, not relevant to basketball

In the basketball context, "success from the sidelines with 16 three pointers" refers to successful three-point shots taken from the area near or from the sideline of the court. This aligns with sense 1, which defines sideline as "a line that marks the side boundary of a playing field."

The answer should be sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "lot" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "Additionally, their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a <t>lot</t> to do with the final triumph."

The phrase "had a lot to do with" means "contributed significantly to" or "was a major factor in."

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "a large number or amount or extent" - This is the most common meaning. The phrase "had a lot to do with" uses "lot" to mean "a large amount/degree."

2. "a parcel of land" - Not applicable here.

3. "an unofficial association of people" - Not applicable.

4. "your overall circumstances in life" - Not applicable.

5. "anything taken at random" - Not applicable.

6. "any collection in its entirety" - Could potentially work as "a whole collection" but sense 1 is more direct.

7. "nephew of Abraham" - Not applicable (proper noun).

The phrase "a lot to do with" is using "lot" in the sense of "a large amount or extent" (sense 1). The sentence is saying that their success with three-pointers had a large amount/great deal to do with the final triumph.

Sense 1 is the best match: "a large number or amount or extent" with examples like "a batch of letters; a deal of trouble" and synonyms like "batch, deal, flock, good deal, great deal, hatful."

The answer is sense 1.

The context describes a basketball match where Caja Laboral won 82-91 against Maccabee Electra. The phrase "had a lot to do with the final triumph" refers to factors (successful three-pointer shooting) that contributed to the successful outcome of the contest. This aligns with sense 1, which defines triumph as "a successful ending of a struggle or contest," matching the synonym "victory" used throughout the passage.

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

The context is about a sports match (basketball) where Caja Laboral won 82-91 against Maccabee Electra. The passage discusses:
- "a stunning 82-91 victory"
- "they now at the top of their group"
- "to take the victory"
- "had a lot to do with the final triumph"

The word "triumph" appears in the phrase "had a lot to do with the final triumph." Given the context is about a sports victory/match outcome, I need to determine which sense applies.

Sense 1: "a successful ending of a struggle or contest" - This refers to the actual result or outcome of winning.
Sense 2: "the exultation of victory" - This refers to the feeling of joy and celebration that comes from winning.

Looking at how "triumph" is used in the sentence: "their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph."

This is talking about a factor that contributed to the final result/outcome of the game. It's referring to the successful ending of the contest, not the feeling of exultation. The passage is discussing what led to the victory/triumph as an outcome, not celebrating the emotional experience of winning.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1: "a successful ending of a struggle or contest"

The context describes a specific basketball match between two teams, with details about its progression from start to finish ("The game started out...", "the game lasted two hours" implicitly through the narrative). This refers to a single instance of a sporting contest, which matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with the example "the game lasted two hours."

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

The context is about a basketball match between Baskonia (Caja Laboral) and Maccabee Electra. The sentence says: "The <t>game</t> started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start."

This is clearly referring to a basketball match/contest. 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
4-11. (other senses related to hunting, tennis, sports scoring, food, plots, equipment, occupation, trifling behavior)

The key distinction between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner"
- Sense 2 is "a single play of a sport or other contest" with example "the game lasted two hours"

In the context "The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas" and the passage discusses a basketball match that lasted a specific duration with a final score, this refers to a single sports contest/match.

Sense 2 seems more appropriate because:
1. It's a single play/instance of basketball
2. The example "the game lasted two hours" matches our context where the game has a start and end
3. The context is about one specific basketball match

However, let me reconsider. Sense 1 is about "a contest with rules to determine a winner" which is also applicable to a basketball game.
Sense 2 captures the specific instance of a sport more precisely—a single basketball match from start to finish, which aligns with the passage's focus on this particular contest and its duration. The answer is sense 2.

The context "The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start" uses "favor" to mean an advantage or benefit. This matches sense 2 ("an advantage to the benefit of someone or something"), which is further supported by the provided example "the outcome was in his favor" - a nearly identical construction describing a situation advantageous to someone.

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

The sentence is: "The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start."

This is a sports context where they're talking about a basketball game. The phrase "in favor of" means that something was to the advantage or benefit of someone.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=favor%1:04:00:: - "an act of gracious kindness" - This doesn't fit. The game didn't "start out as an act of gracious kindness."

2. sense_key=favor%1:07:00:: - "an advantage to the benefit of someone or something" with example "the outcome was in his favor" - This fits perfectly! The sentence is saying the game started out advantageous to the Azulgranas. This is almost the exact same structure as the example given.

3. sense_key=favor%1:09:00:: - "an inclination to approve" - This doesn't fit in this context.

4. sense_key=favor%1:12:00:: - "a feeling of favorable regard" - This doesn't fit the context of a sports game.

5. sense_key=favor%1:06:00:: - "souvenir consisting of a small gift given to a guest at a party" - This definitely doesn't fit.

The best match is clearly sense 2, which defines "favor" as "an advantage to the benefit of someone or something" and even provides an example very similar to the usage in the context: "the outcome was in his favor" vs. "The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas."

The answer should be sense index 2.

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

The sentence is: "As Vitora's first four <t>baskets</t> were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."

This is clearly a basketball context. The passage discusses a basketball game with mentions of:
- Three-pointers scored
- Scoring/points
- A court
- Scoreboard
- The first period (quarter)

The phrase "baskets were from the perimeter" refers to successful shots made from three-point distance. In basketball terminology, a "basket" refers to a successful scoring play - when a player throws the ball through the hoop.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. A woven container with handles - doesn't fit
2. The quantity contained in a basket - doesn't fit
3. The horizontal circular metal hoop supporting a net (basketball hoop) - this is about the equipment itself, not the act of scoring
4. A score in basketball made by throwing the ball through the hoop (field goal) - this fits perfectly

In the context, "baskets" refers to the scores or successful shots made from the perimeter (three-pointers). This is sense 4.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 4}

The context is a basketball game where "Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter" refers to shots taken from the outer boundary area of the court (beyond the key/three-point line). This matches the first sense, which defines perimeter as "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary," with synonyms "margin, border." The other senses (a line enclosing a plane area, or a measurement) do not fit the basketball context where perimeter specifically denotes the outer shooting area.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a basketball game. The sentence mentions "As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter" - this is clearly referring to basketball terminology where the perimeter means the area around the three-point line or the outer area of the court beyond the key.

Let me look at the three senses:

1. sense_key=perimeter%1:25:00:: | definition=the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary | synonyms=margin, border
   - This refers to the boundary line or area inside it. In basketball, the perimeter would be the outer area of the court.

2. sense_key=perimeter%1:25:01:: | definition=a line enclosing a plane areas
   - This is a mathematical definition, a line that encloses a plane area.

3. sense_key=perimeter%1:07:00:: | definition=the size of something as given by the distance around it | synonyms=circumference
   - This refers to measurement, the distance around something.

In basketball, "shooting from the perimeter" means shooting from outside the key, from the three-point line area. This is the outer boundary area of the active playing region. This best matches sense 1, which defines perimeter as "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary" - in this case, the area around the boundary/outside of the key.

The most appropriate sense is 1, as it refers to the area at/near the boundary, which is exactly what the perimeter of a basketball court means - the outer area.

The context describes a conjecture about the team's performance based on their early three-pointer success: "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists." This is a hypothesis formed by reasoning from incomplete initial evidence (the first few baskets), matching sense 2's definition of "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "speculation" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter, the <t>speculation</t> was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists."

This is about a sports commentary where the author is expressing that after the first few baskets were made from the perimeter (3-pointers), the general assumption/opinion was that the team had come out playing well with hot shooting.

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=speculation%1:10:03:: - "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" - This could fit, as it's an opinion/assumption about the team's performance based on initial baskets.

2. sense_key=speculation%1:09:00:: - "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)" - This also fits well. It's essentially a conjecture about whether the team came out hot.

3. sense_key=speculation%1:21:00:: - "an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no financial context here.

4. sense_key=speculation%1:09:01:: - "continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature" - This doesn't fit well. It's not about profound contemplation.

Between senses 1 and 2, both seem plausible. Looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 is about "a message expressing an opinion"
- Sense 2 is about "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating"

In the context "the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists" - it seems to mean "the conjecture/hypothesis was" or "what people were assuming was". This is more about a hypothesis/conjecture rather than necessarily being a message.
Sense 2 fits better since it directly captures the idea of a hypothesis formed through conjecturing, which aligns with how the word functions in this sports context. The phrase describes what people were inferring based on limited evidence—the early three-pointers—rather than a formal message or opinion.

The context clearly indicates that "scorers" refers to basketball players who made points during the game. English and Teletovic are described as "the main scorers" in terms of points they contributed to the 18-20 score at the end of the first period. This matches sense 1: "a player who makes a score in a game or contest." Sense 2 (a logger) is completely unrelated, and sense 3 refers to an official who records scores, not a player who scores points.

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

The target word is "scorers" in the sentence: "English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the end of the first period."

In this context, we're discussing a basketball game. English and Teletovic are players on the basketball team, and they are described as "the main scorers" - meaning they were the players who scored the most points.

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=scorer%1:18:00:: | definition=a player who makes a score in a game or contest
   - This fits perfectly. In sports context, a "scorer" is a player who scores points.

2. sense_key=scorer%1:18:01:: | definition=a logger who marks trees to be felled
   - This is completely unrelated to the context. We're talking about basketball players, not logging.

3. sense_key=scorer%1:18:02:: | definition=an official who records the score during the progress of a game | synonyms=scorekeeper
   - This is an official who records scores, not a player who scores. This doesn't fit the context because English and Teletovic are players, not officials recording the score.

The context clearly indicates that "scorers" refers to basketball players who make scores (points). The sentence is describing English and Teletovic as the main point-scorers of their team during the first quarter.

The answer is sense 1.

Target lemma: end
Target surface form: end
Context:
Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses, and after the great performance by Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points), they now at the top of their group. The Vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas and Micov with a big dose of involvement and teamwork, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory. Additionally, their huge success from the sidelines, with 16 three pointers scored, had a lot to do with the final triumph. The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start. As Vitora's first four baskets were from the perimeter, the speculation was already that they had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists. English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the <t>end</t> of the first period. The second quarter was more of the same, but the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac and the work of Eliyahu, who was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home, to continue increasing their lead by half-time (34-43).

The phrase "at the end of the first period" refers to the point in time when the first quarter of the basketball game concluded. This clearly matches sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends," as exemplified by similar phrases like "the end of the year."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "end" appears:

"English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the <t>end</t> of the first period."

The phrase "at the end of the first period" is referring to the point in time when the first period concluded in a basketball game. This is clearly about a temporal endpoint - when the first quarter/period finished.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=end%1:15:00:: - either extremity of something that has length (spatial)
2. sense_key=end%1:28:00:: - the point in time at which something ends (temporal)
3. sense_key=end%1:11:00:: - the concluding parts of an event or occurrence
4. sense_key=end%1:09:02:: - goal/aim
5. sense_key=end%1:09:00:: - a final part or section
6. sense_key=end%1:26:00:: - a final state (destruction, death)
7. sense_key=end%1:15:02:: - the surface at either extremity of a 3D object
8. sense_key=end%1:18:00:: - football player position
9. sense_key=end%1:15:01:: - a boundary marking extremities
10. sense_key=end%1:15:03:: - one of two places from which people communicate
11. sense_key=end%1:04:00:: - the part you are expected to play
12. sense_key=end%1:10:00:: - the last section of a communication
13. sense_key=end%1:06:02:: - leftover cloth
14. sense_key=end%1:04:02:: - American football position

The temporal sense perfectly captures what's happening here—it refers to a specific moment when the first period concluded, just like "the end of the year" or "the ending of warranty period." This is sense index 2.

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

The context is about a basketball game. The relevant sentence is: "The second <t>quarter</t> was more of the same, but the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac..."

The passage discusses:
- "The game started out in favor of the Azulgranas..."
- "English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the end of the first period."
- "The second quarter was more of the same..."
- References to scoring and basketball gameplay

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. One of four equal parts - doesn't fit, too general
2. A district of a city - doesn't fit
3. (football, professional basketball) one of four divisions into which some games are divided - THIS FITS! The example "both teams scored in the first quarter" is directly analogous to "the first period" and "the second quarter" mentioned in the text
4. A unit of time equal to 15 minutes - doesn't fit, the text is about game divisions
5. One of four periods into which the school year is divided - doesn't fit
6. A fourth part of a year; three months - doesn't fit
7. One of the four major division of the compass - doesn't fit
8-14. Various other meanings that don't fit

The text clearly refers to divisions of a basketball game. It mentions "the first period" and "the second quarter" - these are clearly referring to time divisions during a basketball game. In basketball, games are divided into four quarters (though the text also uses "period" interchangeably).

The best match is sense 3: "(football, professional basketball) one of four divisions into which some games are divided | examples=both teams scored in the first quarter"

This is the only sense that specifically mentions basketball/professional basketball and refers to game divisions.

The context clearly indicates a sports team (specifically a basketball team - the Alavan team playing in a basketball game). The passage discusses players, scoring, baskets, quarters, and competitive play. Sense 1 ("a cooperative unit (especially in sports)") is the appropriate meaning, as opposed to sense 2 which refers to draft animals.

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

The target word "team" appears in the phrase: "the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac..."

Looking at the context:
- This is about a basketball game
- The passage discusses "the Vitorian team," "the Azulgranas," "the Alavan team"
- It mentions players like Herrmann, Oleson, Huertas, Micov, English, Teletovic, Barac, Eliyahu, Splitter
- It discusses sports-related activities: scoring baskets, leading on the scoreboard, inside game, etc.
- The passage also mentions "teamwork" earlier
- It talks about "Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team"

The two candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

This is clearly about a sports team (basketball specifically), not about draft animals pulling something. The context is all about basketball - players, scoring, games, periods, etc.

Therefore, the correct sense is sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" which is defined as "squad."

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The target word "work" in this basketball context refers to the activity and effort that Eliyahu contributes on the court. The passage indicates the team used "the work of Eliyahu" as a strategic element to continue building their lead. This aligns with sense 1 - "activity directed toward making or doing something" - which captures how a player's effort and performance (their "work") contributes to the team's success.

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

The sentence is: "the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac and the <t>work</t> of Eliyahu, who was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home, to continue increasing their lead by half-time (34-43)."

This is about basketball. The team is using "the work of Eliyahu" as a strategy to continue increasing their lead. In basketball context, "work" refers to the effort, activity, or performance of a player - what they do on the court through their actions.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "activity directed toward making or doing something" - This could fit. "Work" here refers to the activity/effort that Eliyahu is doing.

2. "a product produced or accomplished" - This doesn't fit as well. This is about a finished product.

3. "the occupation for which you are paid" - No, this is about employment in general.

4. "applying the mind to learning" - No, this is about study.

5. "(physics) a manifestation of energy" - No, this is physics terminology.

6. "a place where work is done" - No, this isn't about a workplace.

7. "the total output of a writer or artist" - No, this is about artistic output.

The best fit is sense 1: "activity directed toward making or doing something" - referring to the activity and effort that Eliyahu brings to the game through his performance and contribution.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "whistles" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "The second quarter was more of the same, but the Alavan team opted for the inside game of Barac and the work of Eliyahu, who was greeted with <t>whistles</t> and applause at his return home, to continue increasing their lead by half-time (34-43)."

This is a basketball game context. The player Eliyahu is returning home and being "greeted with whistles and applause."

Let me look at each sense:

1. sense_key=whistle%1:11:00:: - "the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture" - This is about the physical sound, not applicable here since we're talking about whistles from people/crowd.

2. sense_key=whistle%1:10:00:: - "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle" - This could be relevant. The example says "the whistle signalled the end of the game". This is about the act of signaling with whistles. In a sports context, whistles often signal actions or reactions.

3. sense_key=whistle%1:06:02:: - "a small wind instrument that produces a whistling sound by blowing into it" - This is a physical object instrument.

4. sense_key=whistle%1:06:01:: - "acoustic device that forces air or steam against an edge or into a cavity and so produces a loud shrill sound" - This is a physical device.

5. sense_key=whistle%1:06:00:: - "an inexpensive fipple flute" - This is a musical instrument.

In the context, "whistles and applause" refers to crowd reactions. When a crowd "whistles," they are expressing approval or disapproval through the sound they make. This is the act of whistling by people in a crowd as a form of signaling or expressing emotion.
Sense 2 best captures this—it's the crowd's act of whistling as a form of signaling their reaction to Eliyahu's return, rather than referring to physical instruments or just the sound itself.

Let me analyze the context and the word "return" in the sentence.

The sentence is: "the work of Eliyahu, who was greeted with whistles and applause at his <t>return</t> home"

So the context is about Eliyahu returning home, and he's being greeted with whistles and applause at this homecoming event.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. Tax return - not relevant here
2. "a coming to or returning home" | homecoming - This fits! The example is "on his return from Australia we gave him a welcoming party" which is very similar to the context.
3. Change in direction - not relevant
4. Getting something back again - not relevant
5. The act of going back to a prior location - This could work, but it's more general
6. Income or profit - not relevant
7. Happening again at regular intervals - not relevant
8. Quick reply/witty remark - not relevant
9. Return key on keyboard - not relevant
10. Reciprocal group action - not relevant
11. Tennis stroke - not relevant (this is about sports, but basketball not tennis)
12. American football - not relevant (it's basketball)
13. Reappearance - could potentially fit

The best fit is sense 2: "a coming to or returning home" with synonym "homecoming". The context explicitly mentions "return home" and the greeting suggests a homecoming event. This matches perfectly with the example given in sense 2.
