If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

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

"Scalia and Thomas have shown little <t>regard</t> for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

The phrase "shown little regard for critics" means they have shown little consideration, respect, or attention to what the critics are saying. They're dismissing or ignoring the concerns raised by critics.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a detail or point" - doesn't fit. This is about respect/consideration, not a detail.

2. "paying particular notice" with synonyms attentiveness, heed, paying attention - This could fit. "Shown little regard" could mean "shown little attention/heed". The phrase matches "heed to the consequences" example structure.

3. "a polite expression of desire for someone's welfare" - doesn't fit. This is about polite wishes/compliments.

4. "a long fixed look" - doesn't fit. This is about visual attention, not respect/consideration.

5. "the condition of being honored" - doesn't fit. This is about the state of being respected, not the action.

6. "a feeling of friendship and esteem" - could fit. But this is more about a feeling/emotion.

7. "an attitude of admiration or esteem" - This fits well. "Shown little regard" = "shown little esteem/respect"

Between senses 2, 6, and 7:
- Sense 2 emphasizes "heed/attention"
- Sense 6 emphasizes "feeling of friendship and esteem"
- Sense 7 emphasizes "attitude of admiration or esteem"

The phrase "shown little regard for critics" is about showing little respect or consideration for the critics' concerns.

Sense 7 best captures this—the judges are displaying minimal esteem for the critics' position, essentially disregarding their objections to the court's alignment with ideological groups.

The phrase "mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups" refers to the proper function or purpose that the court should focus on. "Business" here means an immediate objective or principal purpose, which fits sense 5: "an immediate objective."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to understand what "business" means in this sentence:

"Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

The phrase "business of the court" refers to the work, function, or principal activity of the court. Let me look at each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=business%1:14:00:: - a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it - This doesn't fit. The court is not a commercial enterprise.

2. sense_key=business%1:04:01:: - the activity of providing goods and services involving financial and commercial and industrial aspects - This doesn't fit either, as the court is not primarily about commerce.

3. sense_key=business%1:04:00:: - the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money; occupation, job, line of work - This is closer. The "business of the court" could be interpreted as the principal activity or occupation of the court, but it's more about the function than earning money.

4. sense_key=business%1:09:01:: - a rightful concern or responsibility - This doesn't quite fit.

5. sense_key=business%1:09:00:: - an immediate objective - This could work! The "business of the court" as an immediate objective makes sense. The court's immediate objective is to administer justice.

6. sense_key=business%1:04:02:: - the volume of commercial activity - Doesn't fit.
7. sense_key=business%1:14:02:: - business concerns collectively - Doesn't fit.
8. sense_key=business%1:14:01:: - customers collectively - Doesn't fit.
9. sense_key=business%1:04:03:: - incidental activity performed by an actor for dramatic effect - Doesn't fit.

The most fitting interpretation is sense 5—the court's immediate objective is to administer justice impartially, and "business of the court" refers to this core function or purpose that should remain separate from external political agendas.

The context describes Supreme Court justices and references "the business of the court" in relation to pending judicial cases and judicial ethics. Sense 8 (lawcourt, court of law, court of justice) is the most appropriate match, as it refers to a tribunal where judges administer justice according to laws—directly aligned with the Supreme Court context and the discussion of judicial business and ethics.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to identify the correct sense of "court" in the sentence:

"Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

The context is about:
1. Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas)
2. Ethics violations related to attending fundraisers
3. Mingling with law firms that have cases before "the court"
4. The phrase "business of the court" referring to judicial business

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" - tribunal, judicature
2. "a room in which a lawcourt sits" - courtroom
3. "the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state" - royal court
4. "a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played" - sports court
5. "Australian woman tennis player" - Margaret Court (proper noun)
6. "the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince" - royal court
7. "a hotel for motorists" - motor lodge
8. "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges" - lawcourt
9. "the residence of a sovereign or nobleman" - royal court
10. "an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings" - courtyard
11. "respectful deference" - homage

The phrase "business of the court" clearly refers to judicial business. The context talks about the Supreme Court justices, their cases, and judicial ethics.

Senses 1 and 8 both refer to judicial bodies:
- Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
- Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"

Sense 8 is more specific as it mentions "tribunal" and explicitly states judges administering justice.

Both senses work well here since they're closely related. Sense 1 emphasizes the assembly conducting judicial business, while Sense 8 focuses on the tribunal structure with judges administering justice. Given that the passage specifically references the Supreme Court and its judicial operations, Sense 8 with its explicit reference to "lawcourt" and "court of law" appears to be the most fitting match for this context.

The context refers to "agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society," which are organizations or associations of people united by shared interests or purposes. This matches sense 1: "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit," which is the general organizational meaning. Senses 2 and 3 are chemistry and mathematics definitions that are clearly inapplicable.

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

The sentence states: "Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven <t>groups</t> such as the Federalist Society."

The context is talking about organizations or associations like the Federalist Society, which is a real conservative legal organization. The word "groups" here refers to a collection of people organized with shared purposes or interests.

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

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 entities considered as a unit. This fits the context of organizations/associations.

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 definition, clearly not applicable here.

3. sense_key=group%1:27:00:: | definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse | synonyms=mathematical group
   - This is a mathematics definition, not applicable here.

The context clearly refers to "agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society" - meaning organizations or associations. This best matches sense 1, which defines a group as "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit."

The answer should be sense_index: 1

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

The sentence is: "Moreover, conservatives argue that it's Justice Elena Kagan who has an ethical issue, not Scalia and Thomas."

The target word "Justice" here is used as a title. It's referring to Justice Elena Kagan, who is a Supreme Court justice - a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=justice%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being just or fair | synonyms=justness
   - This is about the abstract quality of fairness, not relevant here.

2. sense_key=justice%1:04:00:: | definition=judgment involved in the determination of rights and the assignment of rewards and punishments
   - This refers to the process/act of judging, not a person.

3. sense_key=justice%1:18:00:: | definition=a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=judge, jurist
   - This is clearly what "Justice" means when used as a title for Elena Kagan. She is a Supreme Court justice - a public official authorized to decide questions brought before the court.

4. sense_key=justice%1:14:00:: | definition=the United States federal department responsible for enforcing federal laws (including the enforcement of all civil rights legislation); created in 1870 | synonyms=Department of Justice, Justice Department, DoJ
   - This refers to the Department of Justice, not relevant here.

The answer is clearly sense 3, as "Justice Elena Kagan" refers to a person who holds the office of justice on the Supreme Court.

In the context "conservatives argue that it's Justice Elena Kagan who has an ethical issue," the word "issue" refers to an important matter of concern or dispute regarding ethics. This matches sense 1—"an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"—which captures the meaning of an ethical problem or controversial matter that needs to be addressed.

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

"Moreover, conservatives argue that it's Justice Elena Kagan who has an ethical issue, not Scalia and Thomas."

The context is discussing an ethical problem or concern with Justice Kagan. The word "issue" here refers to a problem, difficulty, or matter of concern.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - This fits well. An ethical issue is an important matter of dispute.

2. "one of a series published periodically" - This doesn't fit. Not talking about a magazine or publication.

3. "some situation or event that is thought about" - This could fit, referring to a topic or matter of concern.

4. "the act of providing an item for general use" - Doesn't fit. Not about distribution.

5. "supplies issued by the government" - Doesn't fit. Not about military/government supplies.

6. "income or profit arising from transactions" - Doesn't fit. Not about financial returns.

7. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - Doesn't fit. Not about consequences here.

8. "the immediate descendants of a person" - Doesn't fit. Not about children/offspring.

9. "the becoming visible" - Doesn't fit. Not about emergence.

10. "an opening that permits escape or release" - Doesn't fit. Not about physical openings.

11. "the act of issuing printed materials" - Doesn't fit. Not about publication.

Between senses 1 and 3:
- Sense 1 (issue%1:09:01::): "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"
- Sense 3 (issue%1:09:00::): "some situation or event that is thought about"

In the context "conservatives argue that it's Justice Elena Kagan who has an ethical issue," the meaning is about a problem or controversial matter.

Sense 1 better captures the contested nature of the ethical concern—it's not just any situation being thought about, but rather a disputed matter requiring resolution. The examples provided for sense 1 demonstrate this same pattern of something needing to be settled or addressed.

Sense 1 is the right fit.

The phrase "Obama administration" refers to the tenure or presidential term of Obama. This matches the fourth sense definition: "the tenure of a president," with the example "things were quiet during the Eisenhower administration" following the exact same usage pattern.

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

The sentence is: "Kagan served as solicitor general in the Obama administration when the first legal challenges to the law were brought at the trial court level."

This is referring to the "Obama administration" - which means the period/tenure during which Obama was president. The context is discussing when Kagan served as solicitor general during the Obama presidency.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=administration%1:04:00:: | definition=a method of tending to or managing the affairs of a some group of people (especially the group's business affairs) | synonyms=disposal
   - This is about managing affairs/business

2. sense_key=administration%1:14:00:: | definition=the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | synonyms=governance, governing body, establishment, brass, organization, organisation | examples=he claims that the present administration is corrupt; the governance of an association is responsible to its members
   - This refers to the people/body who administer
   - Example: "the present administration is corrupt"

3. sense_key=administration%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of administering medication | synonyms=giving medication
   - This is about medication, clearly not relevant

4. sense_key=administration%1:28:00:: | definition=the tenure of a president | synonyms=presidency, presidential term | examples=things were quiet during the Eisenhower administration
   - This is about the tenure/term of a president
   - Example: "Eisenhower administration"

5. sense_key=administration%1:04:04:: | definition=the act of governing; exercising authority | synonyms=government, governing, governance, government activity | examples=regulations for the governing of state prisons; he had considerable experience of government
   - This is about the act of governing

6. sense_key=administration%1:04:02:: | definition=the act of meting out justice according to the law | synonyms=judicature
   - This is about administering justice

"Obama administration" aligns with sense 4, which captures the presidential tenure meaning, similar to how "Eisenhower administration" is used in the examples.

The context refers to "the law" as a specific piece of legislation that has been subjected to "legal challenges to the law...at the trial court level" and that Kagan was "defending." This clearly indicates a particular legal statute or legislative enactment being challenged in court, which matches sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity."

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

The passage discusses:
1. Supreme Court justices attending a fundraiser
2. Claims about their impartiality
3. Justice Kagan's role as solicitor general in the Obama administration
4. Legal challenges to "the law" at the trial court level
5. Critics calling for Kagan to recuse herself from "hearing the case"
6. Kagan defending "the law"

The context is about a specific legal matter - there are "legal challenges to the law" and a "case" being heard. The passage is referring to a particular statute or legislative act that is being challenged in court.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - This is about law as a system/institution
2. "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - This refers to a specific rule or statute (like "there is a law against kidnapping")
3. "a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature" - Natural law, not applicable here
4. "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature" - Scientific law, not applicable
5. "the branch of philosophy concerned with the law" - Not applicable
6. "the learned profession... mastered by graduate study in a law school" - Not applicable
7. "the force of policemen and officers" - Not applicable

Looking at "the law" in the context - Kagan was "too invested in defending the law then to be impartial now" and there are "legal challenges to the law." This suggests a specific piece of legislation being challenged, which fits sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity."

The passage is referring to a specific law (likely the healthcare law based on context clues about Obama administration) that has been challenged in court.

Sense 2 is the best fit.

The word "level" in "trial court level" refers to a specific identifiable position in the legal process—the trial court stage within the larger judicial system. This matches sense 3, which defines level as "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process." The example "at what stage are the social sciences?" directly parallels this usage, where "level" indicates a distinct stage or position within a hierarchical process.

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

The relevant sentence is: "Kagan served as solicitor general in the Obama administration when the first legal challenges to the law were brought at the trial court <t>level</t>."

The word "level" here is being used to refer to a position or stage in a hierarchical or procedural system. Specifically, it's referring to the "trial court" as a particular stage or position in the legal process - as opposed to appeals courts or higher courts.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" - This could work, but it's more about degrees of quality/intensity.

2. "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" - This is about hierarchy within a group.

3. "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" - This seems very fitting. "Trial court level" is a specific identifiable position in the legal process/system. The examples "at what stage are the social sciences?" shows this is about stages in a process.

4. "height above ground" - Not relevant here.

5. "indicator that establishes the horizontal" - Not relevant (the tool).

6. "a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line" - Not relevant (physical surface).

7. "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" - This could work - referring to different layers/levels of meaning or abstraction.

8. "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale" - Not relevant here.

The best fit is sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" because "trial court level" refers to a specific position/stage in the legal process hierarchy. This is exactly what the example "at what stage are the social sciences?" illustrates.

The context clearly refers to a legal proceeding in court. The passage discusses Justice Kagan potentially needing to recuse herself from "hearing the case," which is explicitly about a court matter regarding constitutional challenges to a law. This corresponds to sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" with synonyms lawsuit and suit.

reasoning_content:
Looking at the context, I need to identify what "case" means in this sentence:

"Her critics have pushed for Kagan to recuse herself from hearing the case, saying that she was too invested in defending the law then to be impartial now."

In this context, "case" refers to a legal proceeding - specifically, a court case where Kagan might need to recuse herself from hearing/judging. This is clearly referring to a court proceeding where someone seeks legal remedy.

Let me check the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=case%1:11:00:: - an occurrence of something (instance, example)
2. sense_key=case%1:26:00:: - a special set of circumstances (event)
3. sense_key=case%1:04:00:: - a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy (lawsuit, suit, cause, causa)
4. sense_key=case%1:09:00:: - the actual state of things
5. sense_key=case%1:06:00:: - a portable container
6. sense_key=case%1:18:03:: - a person requiring professional services
7. sense_key=case%1:18:02:: - a person subjected to experimental procedures
8. sense_key=case%1:10:02:: - a problem requiring investigation
9. sense_key=case%1:10:01:: - a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument
...and so on

The context is clearly about a legal case in a court setting. The definition in sense 3 matches perfectly: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" with synonyms "lawsuit, suit, cause, causa". The example "the family brought suit against the landlord" is also analogous.

The answer should be sense index 3.

The context discusses "the first legal challenges to the law" and refers to "defending the law" in a court case. This clearly refers to a specific piece of legislation or legal statute, not the general concept of law or the legal system. Sense 2 (law%1:10:00::) - "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - is the best fit, as it captures the meaning of a particular law/statute that was subject to legal challenges.

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

The context discusses:
"Kagan served as solicitor general in the Obama administration when the first legal challenges to the law were brought at the trial court level. Her critics have pushed for Kagan to recuse herself from hearing the case, saying that she was too invested in defending the law then to be impartial now."

This is clearly referring to a specific piece of legislation or legal document - specifically something related to a legal challenge. The passage mentions "the law" in a way that refers to a particular statute or legislative act that had legal challenges brought against it.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. law%1:14:00:: - "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - This refers to law in general/the legal system
2. law%1:10:00:: - "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - This fits! This refers to a specific law/statute
3. law%1:09:00:: - "a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature" - This is natural law, doesn't fit
4. law%1:09:01:: - "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature" - This is about laws of nature, doesn't fit
5. law%1:09:02:: - "the branch of philosophy concerned with the law" - This is about jurisprudence, doesn't fit
6. law%1:04:00:: - "the learned profession" - This is about the practice of law, doesn't fit
7. law%1:14:01:: - "the force of policemen and officers" - This is police/law enforcement, doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 2 (law%1:10:00::), which refers to "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" with the example "there is a law against kidnapping." In the context, "the law" refers to a specific piece of legislation that was being challenged in court.
The answer is sense 2.

In this context, "given no indication" means "given no sign or signal" that Kagan will recuse herself. The word refers to something that serves to indicate or suggest something else, which matches sense 1: "something that serves to indicate or suggest." The examples provided ("an indication of foul play; indications of strain") similarly demonstrate how "indication" means a sign that suggests something.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "indication" in this sentence:

"Kagan has given no indication she will do so."

The context is about Justice Kagan recusing herself from a case. The sentence is saying that Kagan has given no sign or signal that she will recuse herself.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=indication%1:10:00:: - "something that serves to indicate or suggest" with examples like "an indication of foul play; indications of strain". This fits - "indication" here means a sign or signal that suggests something.

2. sense_key=indication%1:10:01:: - "the act of indicating or pointing out by name" with synonym "denotation". This doesn't fit - it's about the act of pointing something out by name, not about a sign/signal.

3. sense_key=indication%1:10:02:: - "(medicine) a reason to prescribe a drug or perform a procedure". This is a medical term and doesn't fit the context.

4. sense_key=indication%1:10:03:: - "something (as a course of action) that is indicated as expedient or necessary" with example "there were indications that it was time to leave". This could fit - it's about something that indicates a course of action is needed.

5. sense_key=indication%1:09:00:: - "a datum about some physical state that is presented to a user by a meter or similar instrument". This is too specific to instruments and doesn't fit.

Between senses 1 and 4, sense 1 seems more appropriate. In the context "given no indication she will do so," it means "given no sign or signal that she will do so." Sense 1 with its definition "something that serves to indicate or suggest" and examples like "an indication of foul play" fits perfectly - it's about something that suggests or signals something else.

Sense 4 is more about something that shows something is expedient or necessary as a course of action.
Sense 1 is the correct match.

The context discusses how the Spanish team has higher "familiarity" than the Ticos, supported by evidence that Spanish players have more experience with 50+ international games. This indicates the Spanish team is more well-known or experienced in the international context. Sense 2 ("usualness by virtue of being familiar or well known") best captures this meaning—the Spanish team's greater exposure and prevalence in international competition makes them more "familiar."

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

Context: "The familiarity of the Spanish is higher than that of the Ticos. Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games."

This seems to be about comparing sports teams (Spanish vs Ticos, which refers to Costa Rican football). The statement is comparing how much "familiarity" the Spanish team has versus the Ticos.

Looking at the follow-up information: "Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games." This suggests the context is about how many international games the players have played - which relates to experience and being well-known/experienced at the international level.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "personal knowledge or information about someone or something" - This could work if referring to knowledge of the sport or players
2. "usualness by virtue of being familiar or well known" - This could mean the Spanish team is more well-known or experienced
3. "close or warm friendship" - Doesn't fit the sports context
4. "a casual manner" - Doesn't fit the context
5. "an act of undue intimacy" - Doesn't fit

The most likely interpretation is that "familiarity" refers to how well-known or experienced the Spanish team is in international play. The evidence supporting this is that more Spanish players have played 50+ international games.

Sense 1 (personal knowledge/acquaintance with something) or Sense 2 (usualness by virtue of being well-known) seem most appropriate. Given the context of experience in international games, sense 2 "usualness by virtue of being familiar or well known" seems to better capture the idea that the Spanish team has more experience/exposure at the international level, making them "more familiar" (more known/more used to playing internationally).
Sense 2 best captures this meaning—the Spanish squad's greater prevalence and recognition in international competition.

The context clearly refers to national sports team members ("22 players called in Spain," "international games"). This is a straightforward reference to people who participate in sports, which matches sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game."

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

The context is: "The familiarity of the Spanish is higher than that of the Ticos Of the 22 <t>players</t> called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games. On the side of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games."

This is clearly discussing sports, specifically international football/soccer teams. The text is comparing Spanish national team players with Costa Rican (Ticos) national team players. It mentions:
- Players "called" (selected/chosen) for the national team
- International games/matches
- Number of international games played

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This is the general definition for someone who plays games, including sports. This fits the context perfectly.

2. "someone who plays a musical instrument" - This is clearly not about musicians in this context.

3. "a theatrical performer" - This is about actors/theater, not relevant here.

4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - This is a slang meaning, not relevant to the context.

5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - While this is about participants, the context is clearly about sports players, not business deals.

Sense 1 is the best fit. It's the definition for sports players - people who participate in games. The synonyms "participant" also fits - these are people participating in international football games.

The context refers to international football/soccer matches played by individual players. The phrase "passed 50 international games" describes the number of individual matches or contests each player has participated in. Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") best fits this usage, as it specifically denotes one discrete instance of a sporting competition, which aligns with counting international matches.

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

The sentence is about international players and how many international games they've played:
"Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games. On the side of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games."

This is clearly referring to international football/soccer matches. The context is about sports, and "games" here refers to individual matches or contests played in a sport.

Let me examine the relevant senses:

1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: - "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This is too general, could apply to any contest.

2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: - "a single play of a sport or other contest" - This seems very appropriate. The examples say "the game lasted two hours" which fits with a single match/contest.

3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: - "an amusement or pastime" - Not quite right, international matches aren't just amusement.

4-11: Various other senses that don't apply (animal hunted, tennis score, etc.)

The key here is that "games" refers to individual matches/contests played in international football. Sense 2 (game%1:04:03::) is described as "a single play of a sport or other contest" which perfectly captures what an individual international match is.

The answer should be sense 2.

The context describes Spain and Costa Rica as two contesting teams in a friendly football match. The phrase "on the side of Costa Rica" refers to Costa Rica as one of two competing groups/teams, which directly matches sense 2: "one of two or more contesting groups" (with the example "the Confederate side was prepared to attack" showing the same usage pattern).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "side" in the sentence:

"On the <t>side</t> of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games."

The sentence is comparing Spain and Costa Rica in terms of international players. The phrase "on the side of Costa Rica" is referring to Costa Rica's team/group of players.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=side%1:15:02:: - "a place within a region identified relative to a center or reference location" - Not the best fit
2. sense_key=side%1:14:00:: - "one of two or more contesting groups" - This could fit, as it's referring to Costa Rica as a contesting group (compared to Spain)
3. sense_key=side%1:08:00:: - "either the left or right half of a body" - Not relevant
4. sense_key=side%1:15:00:: - "a surface forming part of the outside of an object" - Not relevant
5. sense_key=side%1:06:00:: - "an extended outer surface of an object" - Not relevant
6. sense_key=side%1:09:00:: - "an aspect of something (as contrasted with some other implied aspect)" - Not the best fit
7. sense_key=side%1:15:01:: - "a line segment forming part of the perimeter of a plane figure" - Not relevant
8. sense_key=side%1:14:01:: - "a family line of descent" - Not relevant

10. sense_key=side%1:10:00:: - "an opinion that is held in opposition to another in an argument or dispute" - Not the best fit
11. sense_key=side%1:17:01:: - "an elevated geological formation" - Not relevant
12. sense_key=side%1:11:00:: - "(sports) the spin given to a ball" - Not relevant

The phrase "on the side of Costa Rica" refers to Costa Rica as one of two opposing teams in a sports context. Sense 2 (side%1:14:00:: - "one of two or more contesting groups") fits best, similar to how "the Confederate side was prepared to attack" uses "side" to denote one of two opposing groups. The answer is sense index 2.

The context is about a friendly football/soccer game between Spain and Costa Rica. The passage mentions:
- "22 players called in Spain"
- "22 called players" (Costa Rica)
- "22 players called by both countries for the friendly game today"

   - This is a person who plays games (sports players)

2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist

The context refers to the number of international football/soccer matches played by individual players. "Ten passed 50 international games" and "only one of 22 called players reached 50 games" clearly indicate individual sporting contests or matches. This corresponds to sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest," which is the standard usage for counting matches in professional sports.

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

The context talks about Spanish and Costa Rican football/soccer players. It mentions "ten passed 50 international games" and "only one of 22 called players reached 50 games." This is clearly referring to international football/soccer matches.

The sentence structure indicates that "games" here refers to individual matches or contests in a sport.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This is about games in general, too broad
2. "a single play of a sport or other contest" - This is specifically about a single instance/match of a sport, which fits perfectly
3. "an amusement or pastime" - Not applicable, this is about casual games
4. "animal hunted for food or sport" - Not applicable
5. "a division of play during which one player serves" (tennis) - Too specific to tennis
6. "the score at a particular point" - Not applicable
7. "the flesh of wild animals" - Not applicable
8. "a secret scheme" - Not applicable
9. "game equipment" - Not applicable
10. "your occupation or line of work" - Not applicable
11. "frivolous or trifling behavior" - Not applicable

The context clearly refers to individual international football matches. Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") with the example "the game lasted two hours" fits perfectly. In soccer/football, we say "he played 50 games" meaning 50 matches.

The answer is sense 2.

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

The context is about international soccer/football matches. The passage discusses:
- 22 players called in Spain and Costa Rica for a football match
- International games and how many players have reached 50 international games
- A friendly game at a stadium in San Jose
- References to "Europe and world champions" and "the Tricolor" (referring to soccer teams)

The target word "players" appears in the phrase: "comparing the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly game today"

This is clearly referring to football/soccer players - people who participate in and are skilled at the sport of football.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant
   - This fits perfectly - these are people who participate in and are skilled at football/soccer

2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist
   - This doesn't fit - not about musicians

3. sense_key=player%1:18:00:: | definition=a theatrical performer | synonyms=actor, histrion, thespian, role player
   - This doesn't fit - not about theatrical performers

4. sense_key=player%1:18:04:: | definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously
   - This doesn't fit - not relevant to the context

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 could potentially fit, but it's more of a metaphorical use referring to important participants in business, not specifically sports

Sense 1 is the correct answer - it directly describes individuals who participate in and excel at games, which perfectly matches the football context where these athletes are being called up for an international match.

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

The context is about an international football (soccer) match between Spain and Costa Rica. The sentence reads: "A minor contrast to Costa Rica, comparing the 22 players called by both countries for the friendly <t>game</t> today, at 3:05 pm at the National Stadium in San Jose."

The text is discussing how many international games (matches) players from both countries have participated in. It mentions "ten passed 50 international games" for Spain and "only one of 22 called players reached 50 games" for Costa Rica.

So "game" here refers to a single match/play of a sport.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

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

The context clearly refers to a single match/contest in soccer/football. This matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with the example "the game lasted two hours."
Sense 2 is the correct answer.
