Target lemma: action
Target surface form: actions
Context:
Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those <t>actions</t> are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

The word "actions" in this context refers to the deliberate deeds performed by the players—specifically, their strategic decision to incur penalty cards. This matches sense 1 ("something done (usually as opposed to something said)"), as the text discusses these as concrete behaviors/deeds that constitute strategic decisions in sports. The context makes clear that these are specific, intentional acts by the players, not abstract qualities or natural processes.

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

The context is about sports/soccer, specifically about players deliberately getting red or yellow cards to reset their card accumulation before the next phase of the championship.

The key sentence is: "Those <t>actions</t> are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - This is the general sense of deliberate human behavior or deeds.

2. "the state of being active" - This refers to activity/being active, not really about specific deeds.

3. "a military engagement" - Not relevant here; this is about sports, not military.

4. "a process existing in or produced by nature" - Not about human actions.

5. "the series of events that form a plot" - Not about narrative/plot.

6. "the trait of being active and energetic and forceful" - This is an abstract trait, not specific actions.

7. "the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism" - Technical term, not relevant.

8. "a judicial proceeding brought by one party against another" - This is about legal action/lawsuit, not relevant here.

9. "an act by a government body or supranational organization" - About government acts, not relevant.

10. "the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field" - Not the right sense here.

In this context, "actions" refers to the deliberate deeds/behaviors of the players (getting themselves cards). This is clearly sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - it's about the actual deeds or behaviors that the players are engaging in.

The answer is sense 1.

Let me analyze the context and the target word "part" in the phrase:

"Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

The context is saying that the sporting spirit is part of (i.e., is a component or constituent of) the strategic decisions.

1. sense_key=part%1:24:00:: | definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | synonyms=portion, component part, component, constituent | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript

Looking at "the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions," the sporting spirit functions as an element within the larger whole of strategic decisions. Sense 1 captures this relationship—something being an integral component of a larger entity. The example "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" parallels the phrase's meaning. The answer is sense index 1.

The context describes "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules." This refers to judgments or positions reached after consideration about which strategic advantages to pursue. Sense 2 ("a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration") best fits this usage, where "decisions" represents the conclusions the team/players arrived at regarding strategy, rather than merely the act of deciding (sense 1) or character traits (sense 5). The sports senses (3, 4) are not applicable to this context of strategic planning.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "decisions" is best.

The context is: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic <t>decisions</t> that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the act of making up your mind about something" - This refers to the process of deciding.
2. "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" - This refers to the result/conclusion of considering something.
3. "(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred" - This is boxing-specific, not relevant here.
4. "the outcome of a game or contest" - This is sports-specific but refers to game outcomes, not strategic planning.
5. "the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose" - This is about a character trait, not relevant.

In the sentence, "strategic decisions" refers to choices or plans made as part of strategy. The context talks about "decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules" - these are choices about which advantages to pursue.

This could be either sense 1 or sense 2:
- Sense 1: "the act of making up your mind about something" - emphasizes the process of deciding
- Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" - emphasizes the result/conclusion

In the phrase "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages," the word "decisions" refers to the choices or determinations that were made. This is more about the result of consideration (a position or judgment reached) rather than just the act of deciding itself.

Sense 2 seems like the best fit: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration"

So the answer is sense 2.

The target word "rules" in this context refers to the official regulations governing the conduct of a sport. The passage discusses strategic decisions made within the framework of sports regulations in a championship context, specifically mentioning card sanctions and suspension mechanisms. This directly aligns with sense 8's definition of "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted."

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

The context is about a sporting/championship scenario. The passage discusses:
- Players getting cards/sanctions
- Suspension by card accumulation
- Actions against sporting spirit
- "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules"

The sentence specifically says: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the <t>rules</t>."

This is clearly talking about the rules of a sport (likely soccer/football based on the context about cards and suspensions).

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" - general regulation
2. sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example" - convention, pattern
3. sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" - general prescript
4. sense 4: linguistic rule - not applicable
5. sense 5: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true" - principle
6. sense 6: "duration of a monarch's power" - not applicable
7. sense 7: "dominance or power through legal authority" - not applicable
8. sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted" - THIS IS IT!
9. sense 9: religious order rules - not applicable
10. sense 10: "a rule concerning natural phenomena" - not applicable
11. sense 11: mathematical formula - not applicable
12. sense 12: measuring stick - not applicable

The correct sense is clearly sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted" with the example "he knew the rules of chess"

This perfectly matches the context of sports rules in a championship/game context.

The passage uses "assumption" to refer to a hypothesis or supposition that is being taken for granted—specifically, the unexamined premise that the players would act to avoid the sanction. The text explicitly contrasts this assumption with what the players actually did ("the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"). This aligns with sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" (synonyms: supposition, supposal).

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

The context discusses:
- Players' strategic decisions regarding when to accept sanction games
- The action being discussed relates to "the assumption that he has been injured" or more broadly, about what is being assumed
- The passage states: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"

Looking at the sentence structure: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."

Here, "assumption" seems to refer to what is being taken for granted or supposed - that is, the hypothesis or premise that the players would avoid the sanction. The players' actions contradict this assumption.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "assumption%1:10:00::" - "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn" (synonyms: premise, premiss)

2. "assumption%1:09:00::" - "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" (synonyms: supposition, supposal)

3. "assumption%1:04:00::" - "the act of taking possession of or power over something" - Not relevant here

4. "assumption%1:28:00::" - Religious (Virgin Mary) - Not relevant

5. "assumption%1:11:00::" - Religious (Virgin Mary) - Not relevant

6. "assumption%1:07:00::" - "audacious (even arrogant) behavior" - Not relevant

7. "assumption%1:04:01::" - "the act of assuming or taking for granted"

The context is saying that there was an assumption (a supposition or hypothesis being taken for granted) that the players would avoid the sanction. But they didn't act to avoid it - they made a strategic decision instead.
Sense 1 frames this as a logical premise, while sense 2 emphasizes an unexamined supposition. Sense 7 captures the act itself. Between these options, sense 2 best captures the notion of an implicit hypothesis about player behavior that the passage is challenging.

The context clearly refers to sports athletes participating in a championship game. The passage discusses players' participation in matches, their suspension from games due to card accumulation, and strategic decisions related to their involvement in competition. This matches the first sense definition: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game."

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

The context is about a sports/football championship game. The text discusses:
- "the club will not be able to count on those players"
- "the players will begin the following phase of the Championship"
- "the team can be eliminated"
- "the players fulfil a sanction game"
- "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"
- "They made a strategic decision"

This is clearly about sports - specifically football/soccer based on the context about cards (yellow/red cards), championships, accumulation of cards causing suspension, etc.

Looking 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 sports/games participation

2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)
   - This is about music - not relevant

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

5. sense_key=player%1:18:03:: | definition=an important participant (as in a business deal)
   - This is about business - while it could apply to sports, sense 1 is more direct

The context is clearly about sports participants, specifically football/soccer players in a championship. The best fit is sense 1, which defines a player as "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" with the synonym "participant".
The answer is sense 1.

The context discusses whether players acted to avoid having a sanction enforced against them. "Application of the sanction" refers to putting the punishment into operation or effect. This matches sense 7 ("the action of putting something into operation"), as exemplified by similar phrases like "application of maximum thrust" where something is activated or implemented.

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

The sentence is: "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"

Let me break down what's happening:
- The context is about sports/football rules and sanctions/cards
- There's discussion of players getting cards and sanctions (punishment)
- The phrase "application of the sanction" refers to how the sanction/punishment is being imposed or enforced
- The players are trying to avoid having the sanction applied/enforced against them

Now let me consider each sense:

1. "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" - This could fit. The sanction is being "brought to bear" or applied/used.

2. "a verbal or written request for assistance or employment or admission to a school" - This doesn't fit at all. No request is being made.

3. "the work of applying something; coating, covering" - This is about topical applications, not about applying rules or sanctions.

4. "a program that gives a computer instructions" - Clearly doesn't fit; this is about software.

5. "liquid preparation having a soothing or antiseptic or medicinal action" - This is about lotions/medicinal applications, doesn't fit.

6. "a diligent effort; diligence" - Doesn't fit; this is about personal effort/application to work.

7. "the action of putting something into operation" - This fits very well. The "application of the sanction" means putting the sanction into operation, implementing it, enforcing it. The example "the application of maximum thrust" shows using/implementing something.

Between senses 1 and 7:
- Sense 1 is about "bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose"
- Sense 7 is about "putting something into operation"
- Sense 7 is more precise here since it specifically captures the idea of implementing or putting into effect the sanction, similar to how "application of maximum thrust" works structurally. Sense 7 is the best match.

The phrase "a clear case of legal fraud" uses "case" to mean "an occurrence" or "an instance" of something (legal fraud). This matches sense 1 exactly, which is defined as "an occurrence of something" with synonyms "instance, example" and includes the example "it was a case of bad judgment." The word is not referring to a legal proceeding (sense 3), a container (sense 6), or a special set of circumstances (sense 2), but rather to a particular instance or example of fraudulent behavior.

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

"But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear <t>case</t> of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

The phrase is "a clear case of legal fraud". Let me look at the relevant senses:

1. "an occurrence of something" (instance, example) - "it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday"
2. "a special set of circumstances" (event) - "in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled"
3. "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" - lawsuit/suit
4. "the actual state of things" - "that was not the case"
5-20. Other meanings related to containers, people, grammatical structures, etc.

In the context "a clear case of legal fraud", the word "case" refers to an example or occurrence of something (legal fraud). This is clearly sense 1: "an occurrence of something" with the synonyms "instance, example" and examples like "it was a case of bad judgment".
The phrase essentially means an instance or occurrence of legal fraud, making sense 1 the appropriate choice.

The context describes players making a deliberate strategic choice about when to accept a sanction. The phrase "They made a strategic decision" refers to the act of choosing or making up their mind about a course of action, which best matches sense 1 ("the act of making up your mind about something"). The examples for this sense, particularly "the burden of decision was his," align well with the deliberative nature of the choice described in the passage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "decision" in the sentence: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."

Looking at the context:
- The passage discusses a strategic choice made by players regarding when to receive a sanction
- The players "chosen when to obey it" - this is about a deliberate choice
- The word is preceded by "strategic" which suggests a deliberate choice or plan
- The decision is about whether/when to accept a punishment in a game

Now let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=decision%1:04:00:: - "the act of making up your mind about something" | synonyms: determination, conclusion | This is about the process of deciding, making up one's mind about something.

2. sense_key=decision%1:09:00:: - "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" | synonyms: determination, conclusion | This is about the conclusion or position reached after thinking about something.

3. sense_key=decision%1:11:02:: - "(boxing) a victory won on points" | This is specific to boxing and not relevant here.

4. sense_key=decision%1:11:01:: - "the outcome of a game or contest" | This is about the result/outcome of a game, not about making a choice.

5. sense_key=decision%1:07:00:: - "the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose" | synonyms: decisiveness | This is about a character trait, not about the act of deciding.

In the context "They made a strategic decision," the word refers to a deliberate choice or judgment that was made. The phrase "strategic decision" clearly indicates that they made a choice about strategy.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is about "the act of making up your mind about something"
- Sense 2 is about "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration"

Both could fit, but sense 1 seems more appropriate for "made a strategic decision" - it's about the act of deciding/choosing.

The phrasing "the burden of decision was his" reinforces this interpretation, suggesting the weight of the choosing process itself. Sense 1 best captures what's happening in the original sentence.

The context discusses "law fraud" in relation to sporting rules and regulations. The passage describes actions that violate "the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules." Here, "law" refers to the collection of rules imposed by the sports authority governing the game. This matches sense 1, which defines law as "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - in this case, the authoritative rules that govern the sport.

reasoning_content:
The context is about sports rules and regulations, specifically discussing "law fraud" versus "wittiness" in relation to sporting conduct and rules.

The phrase in question is "the border between the wittiness and the law fraud" - where "law" is used in the context of rules and regulations governing conduct in sports.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense 1 (law%1:14:00::): "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - This refers to laws/rules imposed by authority. In the context of sports, the "rules" governing the game could be considered rules imposed by authority.

2. sense 2 (law%1:10:00::): "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - This is about legal documents specifically, not general rules.

3. sense 3 (law%1:09:00::): "a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society" - This is about natural law, rules of human nature.

4. sense 4 (law%1:09:01::): "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature" - This is about laws of nature/science.

5. sense 5 (law%1:09:02::): "the branch of philosophy concerned with the law and the principles that lead courts to make the decisions they do" - This is about legal philosophy.

6. sense 6 (law%1:04:00::): "the learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school" - This is about the legal profession.

7. sense 7 (law%1:14:01::): "the force of policemen and officers" - This is about law enforcement/police.

In the context of sports rules and regulations, "law fraud" most closely aligns with sense 1 - "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - because the rules of the game are imposed by the governing body of the sport. The text is discussing breaking the spirit of the rules (law fraud) vs. being clever/witty within the rules.
Sense 1 fits perfectly since sports rules are established by the governing authority of each sport, making it the most appropriate interpretation.

The context discusses deceptive tactics in sports strategy—specifically the distinction between deliberately cheating to avoid punishment ("legal fraud") versus making strategic decisions within the rules to gain advantage. The word "fraud" is used here to denote "deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" rather than simply causing injury to another. Sense 3's definition and synonyms (fraudulence, dupery, hoax) align with the passage's discussion of the blurred line between sporting wit and deceptive maneuvering for competitive advantage.

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

The context is about sports/game rules and strategic decisions. The passage discusses:
- Actions that are "against the sporting spirit"
- Strategic decisions that take advantage of rules
- A distinction between "legal fraud" (which the players were trying to avoid)
- The border between "wittiness and the law fraud"

The three candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=fraud%1:04:00:: | definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. sense_key=fraud%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. sense_key=fraud%1:04:01:: | definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage

In the context, "fraud" is being used to describe deceptive or manipulative tactics in a sports setting. The passage mentions:
- "this would have been a clear case of legal fraud" - referring to deceiving/cheating to avoid punishment
- The border between "wittiness and the law fraud" - suggesting fraud as a form of deception or trickery

Sense 2 is clearly wrong - it refers to a person, and the context uses "fraud" as a noun referring to an action/concept, not a person.

Sense 1 talks about "intentional deception resulting in injury to another person"
Sense 3 talks about "something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage"

The context seems to be about deceptive actions meant to gain advantage in a game. The passage contrasts what would be "legal fraud" (intentional deception to avoid punishment) with what was actually done (strategic decision without avoiding punishment). The focus is on deceptive trickery to gain advantage, not necessarily on causing injury.

Sense 3 seems like the better fit because:
- It captures the notion of deliberate trickery designed to secure competitive advantage, which aligns with the sports context
- The related terms (fraudulence, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on) all reflect this kind of deceptive maneuvering
- Sense 1 emphasizes harm to another person, which isn't central to the passage's concern about gaining unfair advantage in gameplay

The answer should be sense 3.

The word "occasion" in this context refers to a particular event or circumstance ("in this occasion" = "in this case/situation"). The writer is using it to describe the specific instance being discussed regarding the players' strategic decision-making. This matches sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" - referring to this specific juncture or moment where the decision in question took place.

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

"Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this <t>occasion</t> I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

The context is discussing a specific event/situation where players made strategic decisions regarding rule violations. The writer is saying that "on this occasion" or "in this case/situation" they believe it was a clear case of wittiness.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=occasion%1:11:00:: - "an event that occurs at a critical time" with examples about junctures and special occasions. This is about events at critical times.

2. sense_key=occasion%1:11:01:: - "a vaguely specified social event" like parties or functions. This is clearly about social events, which doesn't fit our context.

3. sense_key=occasion%1:16:00:: - "reason" with example "there was no occasion for complaint". This uses "occasion" to mean "reason" or "cause".

4. sense_key=occasion%1:28:00:: - "the time of a particular event" like "on the occasion of his 60th birthday". This is about timing/when something occurs.

5. sense_key=occasion%1:26:00:: - "an opportunity to do something". This is about opportunities.

In the context: "in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness" - the writer is referring to this particular situation/event/circumstance. It's saying "in this instance" or "in this particular case/situation."

Looking at sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" - This seems like it could be "a critical juncture" or "circumstance." The example "at such junctures" is similar to how "occasion" is used here.

Looking at sense 4: "the time of a particular event" - This would be more like "on the occasion of" which is also how it's used.
The phrasing "in this occasion" points to either sense 1 or 4. Sense 1 fits better as it captures the notion of a particular case or circumstance, while sense 4 emphasizes the temporal aspect. Given the usage here, sense 1 seems most natural—referring to this specific situation rather than just the timing of it.

Target lemma: case

Context:
But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

The target word "case" in the phrase "a clear case of wittiness" refers to an occurrence or instance of something. The speaker is describing this particular situation as an example of wittiness (clever behavior), making sense 1 ("an occurrence of something") the best match. This is supported by the synonyms "instance" and "example" provided for this sense.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "case" is used:

"Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear <t>case</t> of wittiness."

The speaker is describing a specific situation or instance - they're saying this particular scenario ("case") is one of wittiness (cleverness).

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "an occurrence of something" | instance, example - This fits well. "case of wittiness" means an instance of wittiness.

2. "a special set of circumstances" | event - This could also work, describing the set of circumstances.

3. "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law" - Not relevant here, though the text mentions legal concepts.

4. "the actual state of things" - This doesn't fit well.

5. "a portable container" - Not relevant.

6-8. Various other meanings not applicable.

9. "a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument" - Not really the focus here.

The best fit is sense 1: "an occurrence of something" with synonyms "instance, example". The phrase "a clear case of wittiness" clearly means "a clear instance/example of wittiness."

Sense 2 ("a special set of circumstances") is also quite close, but sense 1 is more directly applicable here. "Case of wittiness" is most naturally understood as an instance or example of wittiness.

I'll go with sense 1.

The word "factors" in this context refers to elements that causally contribute to the controversy. The sentence explicitly states "the controversy seems to arise from two factors," identifying them as causes that determine the outcome (the controversy). This matches sense 1: "anything that contributes causally to a result," which is demonstrated by the given example "a number of factors determined the outcome."

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

The sentence is: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

In this context, "factors" refers to elements or components that contribute to the controversy. The text explicitly states that two things cause/contribute to the controversy: (1) the fact that it was about two auto expulsions, and (2) the way the transmission of the directive was carried out.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "anything that contributes causally to a result" - This fits well. The factors contribute causally to the controversy.

2. "an abstract part of something" with synonyms component, constituent, element, ingredient - This also fits. The factors are parts/components of what caused the controversy.

3. "one of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer" - This is mathematical, not relevant.

4. "a businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission" - This is not relevant to the context.

5. "any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together" - This is mathematical, not relevant.

6. "an independent variable in statistics" - This is technical/statistical, could apply but seems less likely than 1 or 2.

7. "a segment of DNA" - This is genetics, not relevant.

Between senses 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 emphasizes causal contribution ("contributes causally to a result")
- Sense 2 emphasizes being a component/part ("an abstract part of something")

In the context, "factors" refers to elements that cause or contribute to the controversy. Sense 1 ("anything that contributes causally to a result") is the most appropriate, as it captures the idea that these are causes of the controversy. The example "a number of factors determined the outcome" is very similar to how "factors" is used here.
The most fitting definition is sense 1, which directly captures how the two elements causally produce the controversy.

The context discusses a sports controversy involving players receiving "two auto expulsions" as a sanction/punishment. The passage refers to "the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them," indicating that expulsions are consequences imposed on players. This aligns with sense 1, which defines expulsion as "the act of forcing out someone or something," with examples like "the child's expulsion from school" and synonyms including "ejection." The sports context involves removing players from the game as a disciplinary measure, matching this sense precisely.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "expulsions" in this sports-related passage.

The context is discussing a sports controversy involving:
- "two auto expulsions"
- Strategic decisions in the game
- Players' actions and sanctions/punishments
- The transmission of directives that "cause them" (the expulsions)

In sports, "expulsion" typically refers to removing a player from the game due to a rule violation or misconduct. This is consistent with the context where the passage mentions "the sanction" and "punishment."

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | synonyms=ejection, exclusion, riddance | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police; the child's expulsion from school
   - This refers to removing someone from a place/group (like expulsion from school)
   - This matches the sports context where a player is removed from the game

2. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:02:: | definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | synonyms=extrusion | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube; the expulsion of pus from the pimple
   - This is clearly about physical squeezing/pressure, not applicable here

3. sense_key=expulsion%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting | synonyms=projection, ejection, forcing out
   - This is a more general definition about expelling/ejecting

The context clearly indicates "expulsions" refers to players being forced out of the game as a punishment/sanction. This aligns best with sense 1, which mentions "ejection" as a synonym and "expulsion from school" as an example - both are about removing someone from a place/group as a consequence.
Sense 1 is the correct answer.

The word "way" in "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out" refers to the **manner or method** in which something is done. The context clearly indicates how the directive transmission occurred is under scrutiny, matching the definition "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms like manner, mode, and style.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "way" in this passage.

The full phrase is: "the controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

In this context, "way" is referring to HOW the transmission of the directive was carried out. It's describing the manner or method in which something was done.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: - "how something is done or how it happens" | synonyms: manner, mode, style, fashion
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: - "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" | synonyms: means, agency
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: - "a line leading to a place or point" - Not relevant

11. sense_key=way%1:09:01:: - "a general category of things" - Not relevant
12. sense_key=way%1:21:00:: - "a portion of something divided into shares" - Not relevant

The most fitting sense is sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms like "manner, mode, style, fashion".

The phrase directly translates to "the manner in which the transmission of the directive was carried out." While sense 2 could apply to obtaining results, sense 1 more precisely captures the method itself rather than the outcome.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "transmission."

The sentence reads: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."

Here, "transmission of the directive" means the act of communicating or sending the directive (a formal instruction or order). The context is about how a directive/instruction was transmitted or conveyed.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=transmission%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted | synonyms=transmittal, transmitting
   - This fits! It's about the act of sending/transmitting a directive/message.

2. sense_key=transmission%1:10:00:: | definition=communication by means of transmitted signals
   - This could work but it's more specific to signals and communication systems.

3. sense_key=transmission%1:23:00:: | definition=the fraction of radiant energy that passes through a substance | synonyms=transmittance
   - This is about physics/light, not applicable here.

4. sense_key=transmission%1:11:00:: | definition=an incident in which an infectious disease is transmitted | synonyms=infection, contagion
   - This is about disease transmission, not applicable here.

5. sense_key=transmission%1:06:01:: | definition=the gears that transmit power from an automobile engine via the driveshaft to the live axle | synonyms=transmission system
   - This is about automotive transmission, not applicable here.

The best fit is sense 1: "the act of sending a message; causing a message to be transmitted." The directive is a message/instruction being transmitted from one party to another, and the controversy relates to how this transmission was carried out.
