Which numbered sense of "urgency" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The talks took on new <t>urgency</t> as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal.

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being urgent; an earnest and insistent necessity
2. definition=pressing importance requiring speedy action | examples=the urgency of his need
3. definition=an urgent situation calling for prompt action | examples=I'll be there, barring any urgencies
4. definition=insistent solicitation and entreaty | examples=his importunity left me no alternative but to agree

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and each sense definition:

Sentence: "The talks took on new <t>urgency</t> as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the state of being urgent; an earnest and insistent necessity" - This is a general definition about the state or condition of being urgent.

2. "pressing importance requiring speedy action" with example "the urgency of his need" - This refers to something that has pressing importance and requires quick action.

3. "an urgent situation calling for prompt action" with example "I'll be there, barring any urgencies" - This refers to an urgent situation or circumstances, and "urgencies" in the example suggests events/situations that are urgent.

4. "insistent solicitation and entreaty" with example "his importunity left me no alternative but to agree" - This is about persistent requests or pleas, which is different from the context here.

In the sentence, "the talks took on new urgency" means the talks became more urgent, requiring faster action. The delegates realized they needed to resolve issues quickly because of the approaching arrival of heads of government.

This matches sense 2 best - "pressing importance requiring speedy action" - because the urgency here refers to the pressing importance and need for speedy action in resolving the issues.

Sense 1 is more about the general state/condition.
Sense 3 is about urgent situations or circumstances (the example "barring any urgencies" suggests unexpected situations).
Sense 4 is about persistent requests/demands, which doesn't fit.

The answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "fact" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the <t>fact</t> that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal.

Senses:
1. definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case
2. definition=a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened | examples=he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts
3. definition=an event known to have happened or something known to have existed | examples=your fears have no basis in fact
4. definition=a concept whose truth can be proved | examples=scientific hypotheses are not facts

Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "fact" is being used:

"The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

Here, "fact" is being used to refer to "that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal" - a statement about a situation that exists or a requirement that is the case.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred" - This is about information/data regarding circumstances or events.

2. "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened" - This is a statement/assertion of verified information.

3. "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" - This is about events or things that existed.

4. "a concept whose truth can be proved" - This is about provable concepts.

In the sentence, "the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues" is being presented as something that exists or is the case (a circumstance) that the delegates are focusing on. This is more aligned with sense 1 - it's information about circumstances that exist (the circumstance being that they need to resolve issues).

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2 - it says "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case" - this seems very fitting too, as we're stating that something is the case.

Let me reconsider: The phrase "the fact that they must resolve..." is presenting a statement about something that is the case. This seems more like sense 2 (a statement of verified information about something that is the case).

I think sense 1 is the best fit - it's a piece of information about circumstances that exist (the circumstance that they must resolve issues).

Actually, upon reflection, I think sense 1 is the most appropriate answer.

Which numbered sense of "issue" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding <t>issues</t> before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal.

Senses:
1. definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "issue" is being used:

"The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

In this context, "issues" refers to important questions or problems that need to be settled or resolved. The delegates need to resolve these outstanding issues before a deal can be made.

Let me check each sense:

1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - This fits perfectly. Outstanding issues are important questions/problems that need to be resolved.

2. "one of a series published periodically" - No, this is about magazines or publications.

3. "some situation or event that is thought about" - This is vague and doesn't fit as well as sense 1.

4. "the act of providing an item for general use for official purposes" - No, this doesn't fit.

5. "supplies (as food or clothing or ammunition) issued by the government" - No, this doesn't fit.

6. "the income or profit arising from such transactions" - No, this doesn't fit.

7. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - No, this doesn't fit.

8. "the immediate descendants of a person" - No, this doesn't fit.

9. "the becoming visible" - No, this doesn't fit.

10. "an opening that permits escape or release" - No, this doesn't fit.

11. "the act of issuing printed materials" - No, this doesn't fit.

The correct sense is clearly 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"

Which numbered sense of "deal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a <t>deal</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | examples=it was a package deal
2. definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | examples=he made a bargain with the devil
3. definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | examples=a batch of letters

8. definition=the act of distributing playing cards | examples=the deal was passed around the table clockwise
9. definition=the act of apportioning or distributing something | examples=the captain was entrusted with the deal of provisions

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "deal" is being used:

"The talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal."

In this context, the delegates are trying to "strike a deal" before the heads of government arrive. This means they need to reach an agreement. The phrase "strike a deal" is a common idiom meaning to make or reach an agreement.

Looking at the senses:
1. A particular instance of buying or selling - not quite right
2. An agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each - THIS MATCHES perfectly. The example is "he made a bargain with the devil" which is similar to "strike a deal"
3. A large number or amount - not relevant
4. A plank of softwood - not relevant
5. Wood that is easy to saw - not relevant
6. Cards held in a card game - not relevant
7. The type of treatment received - not quite right
8. The act of distributing playing cards - not relevant
9. The act of apportioning or distributing something - not relevant

The correct sense is 2 - an agreement between parties.

Which numbered sense of "official" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level <t>officials</t> such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a worker who holds or is invested with an office
2. definition=someone who administers the rules of a game or sport | examples=the golfer asked for an official who could give him a ruling

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and determine which sense of "officials" is being used.

The sentence mentions "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister..."

These are people who hold positions of authority in government - specifically a minister and a vice minister. They are government workers who hold offices.

Let me check both senses:

1. "a worker who holds or is invested with an office" - This fits perfectly. A minister and vice minister are indeed workers/people who hold official offices in government.

2. "someone who administers the rules of a game or sport" - This does not fit the context. There is no mention of sports or games, and ministers/vice ministers are not typically thought of as people who administer rules of games or sports.

The correct sense is clearly #1.

Which numbered sense of "minister" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice <t>minister</t> stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a person authorized to conduct religious worship | examples=clergymen are usually called ministers in Protestant churches
2. definition=a person appointed to a high office in the government | examples=Minister of Finance
3. definition=a diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador
4. definition=the job of a head of a government department

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

The sentence mentions "Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister" as "high-level officials."

Looking at the context:
- These are described as "high-level officials"
- They are associated with specific government portfolios (environment minister, vice minister)
- They represent government positions

Let me check each sense:

1. "a person authorized to conduct religious worship | clergymen are usually called ministers in Protestant churches" - This is clearly not about religious figures, so this is not the correct sense.

2. "a person appointed to a high office in the government | Minister of Finance" - This fits perfectly. The environment minister and vice minister are high-level government officials appointed to government positions.

3. "a diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador" - While these could be seen as representatives of their governments, the context doesn't emphasize their diplomatic role per se. They're described as "high-level officials" with government portfolios, not specifically as diplomats.

4. "the job of a head of a government department" - This is about the job itself, not the person. The sentence is using "minister" as a noun referring to a person, not the job position.

The correct sense is 2 - these are persons appointed to high offices in the government (environment minister, vice minister).

Which numbered sense of "plane" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off <t>planes</t> and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets | examples=the flight was delayed due to trouble with the airplane
2. definition=(mathematics) an unbounded two-dimensional shape | examples=we will refer to the plane of the graph as the X-Y plane
3. definition=a level of existence or development | examples=he lived on a worldly plane
4. definition=a power tool for smoothing or shaping wood
5. definition=a carpenter's hand tool with an adjustable blade for smoothing or shaping wood | examples=the cabinetmaker used a plane for the finish work

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to determine which sense of "plane" (or "planes" in this case) is being used.

The sentence reads: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off <t>planes</t> and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences..."

The context tells us:
- High-level officials
- Stepped off planes
- Raced through a center's halls
- Attending meetings and news conferences

The word "planes" here clearly refers to aircraft that people board and step off from. The officials are arriving at a location (the Bella Center) for meetings, which suggests they traveled by air.

Let me check the senses:

1. "an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets" - This matches! Officials stepping off planes means they're getting off aircraft.

2. "(mathematics) an unbounded two-dimensional shape" - No, this is clearly not about geometry.

3. "a level of existence or development" - No, officials don't "step off" a level of existence.

4. "a power tool for smoothing or shaping wood" - No, this makes no sense in context.

5. "a carpenter's hand tool..." - No, same as above.

The correct answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "hall" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's <t>halls</t> to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open | examples=the elevators were at the end of the hall
2. definition=a large entrance or reception room or area
3. definition=a large room for gatherings or entertainment | examples=lecture hall
4. definition=a college or university building containing living quarters for students
5. definition=the large room of a manor or castle
6. definition=English writer whose novel about a lesbian relationship was banned in Britain for many years (1883-1943)
7. definition=United States child psychologist whose theories of child psychology strongly influenced educational psychology (1844-1924)
8. definition=United States chemist who developed an economical method of producing aluminum from bauxite (1863-1914)
9. definition=United States explorer who led three expeditions to the Arctic (1821-1871)
10. definition=United States astronomer who discovered Phobos and Deimos (the two satellites of Mars) (1829-1907)
11. definition=a large and imposing house
12. definition=a large building used by a college or university for teaching or research | examples=halls of learning
13. definition=a large building for meetings or entertainment

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the context in which "halls" is used:

"High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's <t>halls</t> to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."

The sentence is talking about officials moving through the Bella Center (which is a building/venue) through its halls to get to closed-door meetings and news conferences.

Let me examine each relevant sense:

1. "an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open" - This would be passages/corridors. The officials are moving through these spaces to get to their meetings.

2. "a large entrance or reception room or area" - Not quite fitting, as they're moving through multiple spaces.

3. "a large room for gatherings or entertainment" - This could fit, but it seems more about passages.

4. A college/university building - Not applicable, this is a conference center.

5. The large room of a manor or castle - Not applicable.

6-10. These are proper names, not applicable.

11. "a large and imposing house" - Not applicable.

12. "a large building used by a college or university for teaching or research" - Not applicable, this is the Bella Center.

13. "a large building for meetings or entertainment" - This could work, but it's more about the building itself.

The most fitting sense is #1 - "an interior passage or corridor onto which rooms open" - because the officials are moving through passages/hallways to reach the closed-door meeting rooms. The hallways are corridors connecting different spaces.

Which numbered sense of "meeting" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door <t>meetings</t> and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a formally arranged gathering | examples=next year the meeting will be in Chicago
2. definition=a small informal social gathering | examples=there was an informal meeting in my living room
3. definition=a casual or unexpected convergence | examples=he still remembers their meeting in Paris
4. definition=the social act of assembling for some common purpose | examples=his meeting with the salesmen was the high point of his day
5. definition=the act of joining together as one | examples=the merging of the two groups occurred quickly
6. definition=a place where things merge or flow together (especially rivers) | examples=Pittsburgh is located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers

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

The sentence says: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door <t>meetings</t> and news conferences..."

The context shows:
- High-level officials (formally important people)
- They raced to "closed-door meetings"
- These are at what appears to be a formal conference center (Bella Center - this is the COP15 climate conference in Copenhagen)
- The purpose is stated: "to stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week"

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a formally arranged gathering" - examples given: "next year the meeting will be in Chicago" - This fits. These are formally arranged official meetings.

2. "a small informal social gathering" - The meetings are described as "closed-door" and involve high-level officials, so this doesn't seem informal.

3. "a casual or unexpected convergence" - These are not casual or unexpected - they're formal and planned.

4. "the social act of assembling for some common purpose" - This could fit, but it's more general.

5. "the act of joining together as one" - This is about merging entities, not applicable here.

6. "a place where things merge or flow together" - This is about geographical locations, not applicable.

The best fit is sense 1: "a formally arranged gathering" - these are high-level, closed-door, formally arranged gatherings of officials at an official conference.

Which numbered sense of "claim" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out <t>claims</t> that will be arbitrated over the next week.

Senses:
1. definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
2. definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent
3. definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day
4. definition=an informal right to something | examples=his claim on her attentions
5. definition=an established or recognized right | examples=a strong legal claim to the property
6. definition=a demand especially in the phrase | examples=the call of duty

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "claim":

The sentence is: "High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."

The context here is about officials making claims at what appears to be an environmental conference. They are "staking out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week." This is about environmental or policy positions that will be debated and negotiated.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)" - This is about asserting a right to something concrete, like property or money.

2. "an assertion that something is true or factual" - This is about making a statement that something is true, an assertion or declaration.

3. "demand for something as rightful or due" - This is about demanding something that is rightfully theirs.

4. "an informal right to something" - This is about having an informal right or claim to something.

5. "an established or recognized right" - This is about having a legal or established right.

6. "a demand especially in the phrase" - This seems incomplete.

In the context of the sentence, the officials are making assertions or positions about environmental policy that will be debated ("arbitrated"). They are "staking out claims" - meaning they are establishing positions or making assertions about what they believe should happen. This is most consistent with sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual" - they are making assertions about what positions they hold or what should be done.

Actually, this could also be sense 1 or 5 - they are asserting rights or positions. But given the context of international negotiation and the phrase "will be arbitrated," this seems like they are making assertions/positions that will be debated.
Sense 2 fits best—the officials are fundamentally asserting positions and declarations about environmental policy that will be negotiated and debated over the coming week.

Which numbered sense of "week" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: High-level officials such as Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the Chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the Bella Center's halls to closed-door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next <t>week</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=any period of seven consecutive days | examples=it rained for a week
2. definition=hours or days of work in a calendar week | examples=they worked a 40-hour week
3. definition=a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the usage of "week" in the sentence.

The sentence says: "they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week."

This is referring to a period of seven consecutive days in the future (starting from when the sentence was written) during which arbitrations will occur.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "any period of seven consecutive days" - This is a general definition that applies to any 7-day period without specifying which day it starts or ends on.

2. "hours or days of work in a calendar week" - This is specifically about work time within a calendar week, which is not what the sentence is talking about.

3. "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" - This is a specific definition referring to a calendar week that specifically starts on Sunday.

In the sentence, "the next week" refers to a general period of seven consecutive days in the future without specifying that it must start on Sunday or be related to work. This matches sense 1 - "any period of seven consecutive days."

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "gathering" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the <t>gathering</t> -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=a group of persons together in one place
2. definition=the social act of assembling | examples=they demanded the right of assembly
3. definition=the act of gathering something
4. definition=sewing consisting of small folds or puckers made by pulling tight a thread in a line of stitching

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "gathering" is being used.

The sentence: "The sheer sprawl of the <t>gathering</t> -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."

The sentence is talking about an event where:
- 13,000 people move in and out of a convention center each day
- Guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows
- This is clearly describing some kind of assembly or meeting of people

Looking at the senses:
1. "a group of persons together in one place" - This could fit
2. "the social act of assembling" - This is about the act itself
3. "the act of gathering something" - This is about collecting objects
4. "sewing consisting of small folds or puckers..." - This is clearly not it

The sentence is describing a specific event/gathering where people are assembled together. The word is used as a noun referring to the event itself.

Between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 emphasizes the group of persons together
- Sense 2 emphasizes the social act of assembling

Looking at the sentence again, it's talking about "the sheer sprawl of the gathering" - describing the gathering as an event/assembly where people gather. It seems to be using it as the noun for the group/event itself rather than the act of assembly.

I think sense 1 is the most accurate - "a group of persons together in one place" - because the sentence is describing the gathering as a concrete event/assembly where people are present together.

Which numbered sense of "people" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 <t>people</t> move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively | examples=old people
2. definition=the body of citizens of a state or country | examples=the Spanish people
3. definition=members of a family line | examples=his people have been farmers for generations
4. definition=the common people generally | examples=separate the warriors from the mass

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and determine which sense of "people" is being used.

The sentence is: "The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day..."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively" - examples: old people
   - This refers to people in general, any group of human beings

2. "the body of citizens of a state or country" - examples: the Spanish people
   - This refers to people as citizens of a nation

3. "members of a family line" - examples: his people have been farmers for generations
   - This refers to people as relatives/ancestors

4. "the common people generally" - examples: separate the warriors from the mass
   - This refers to ordinary/common people as opposed to nobility or other classes

In the sentence, "13,000 people" refers to 13,000 human individuals who are attending a gathering/convention. They are just described as a group of human beings moving in and out of a convention center. There's no indication they're being referred to as citizens of a state/country, as family members, or as common people versus a different class.

This matches sense 1: "any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively"

The answer is 1.

8. definition=the time for one complete rotation of the earth relative to a particular star, about 4 minutes shorter than a mean solar day
9. definition=a period of opportunity | examples=he deserves his day in court
10. definition=United States writer best known for his autobiographical works (1874-1935)

Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "day" is being used:

"The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each <t>day</t>, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."

In this context, "each day" refers to the recurring 24-hour period during which the convention is happening. The sentence is describing what happens "each day" - meaning on a daily basis, during each occurrence of a full day cycle.

Let me look at the definitions:
1. "time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis" - This is the basic astronomical definition
2. "some point or period in time" - Too vague
3. "a day assigned to a particular purpose or observance" - Not applicable here
4. "the time after sunrise and before sunset while it is light outside" - This refers to daylight hours, but the context includes "nightly shows" so it's not just about daylight
5. "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)" - This could fit, as it describes a working period
6. "an era of existence or influence" - Not applicable
7. "the period of time taken by a particular planet to make a complete rotation" - Not applicable
8. "the time for one complete rotation relative to a particular star" - Not applicable
9. "a period of opportunity" - Not applicable
10. A person's name - Not applicable

Looking more carefully at the context: "13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day" - this suggests a 24-hour period or a full day cycle. The most straightforward interpretation is sense 1 or 5.

Actually, sense 5 talks about "the recurring hours when you are not sleeping (especially those when you are working)" which fits well with "each day" in the context of people moving in and out of a convention center during their working/active hours.
The phrase "each day" most naturally points to sense 1—a complete 24-hour rotation—since the convention operates continuously across full day cycles with people flowing in and out throughout the period.

Which numbered sense of "show" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly <t>shows</t> mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining | examples=a remarkable show of skill
2. definition=something intended to communicate a particular impression | examples=made a display of strength
3. definition=a social event involving a public performance or entertainment | examples=they wanted to see some of the shows on Broadway
4. definition=pretending that something is the case in order to make a good impression | examples=they try to keep up appearances

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the context around "shows":

"guitar-playing activists put on nightly <t>shows</t> mocking the countries they think are selling out"

The sentence is describing that guitar-playing activists are putting on nightly shows that mock certain countries. This refers to public performances or entertainment events.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining" - This could fit, as shows are public exhibitions/entertainment
2. "something intended to communicate a particular impression" - This is more about appearance or display
3. "a social event involving a public performance or entertainment" - This fits well - the shows are performances/entertainment events
4. "pretending that something is the case in order to make a good impression" - This is about pretense, which doesn't fit here

The key phrase is "put on nightly shows" - this suggests regular public performances. Both sense 1 and 3 could work, but sense 3 is more specific and directly refers to "a social event involving a public performance or entertainment" which is what a nightly show at a gathering would be.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 emphasizes "the act of publicly exhibiting or entertaining"
- Sense 3 emphasizes "a social event involving a public performance or entertainment"

Given that these are "nightly shows" that are being "put on," sense 3 seems most appropriate as it refers to events/performances.

The answer should be 3.

Which numbered sense of "country" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the <t>countries</t> they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and determine which sense of "country" is being used.

The sentence is: "The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the <t>countries</t> they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."

The activists are mocking "countries they think are selling out."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This is referring to nations as political entities. This makes sense in the context of countries "selling out" - referring to nations that are compromising their values.

2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This could work, but it's less likely that activists would mock territory per se.

3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This could work - mocking the people of certain countries.

4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This doesn't make sense in this context at all.

5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This doesn't fit the context of "selling out."

The most appropriate sense is #1 - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" because the activists are mocking countries (as political entities/governments) for "selling out," which is a political action. This is clearly referring to nations as political entities.

Which numbered sense of "draft" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and <t>draft</t> proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=a document ordering the payment of money; drawn by one person or bank on another
2. definition=a current of air (usually coming into a chimney or room or vehicle)
3. definition=a preliminary sketch of a design or picture
4. definition=a serving of drink (usually alcoholic) drawn from a keg | examples=they served beer on draft
5. definition=any of the various versions in the development of a written work | examples=a preliminary draft
6. definition=the depth of a vessel's keel below the surface (especially when loaded)
7. definition=a regulator for controlling the flow of air in a fireplace
8. definition=a dose of liquid medicine | examples=he took a sleeping draft
9. definition=compulsory military service
10. definition=a large and hurried swallow | examples=he finished it at a single gulp
11. definition=the act of moving a load by drawing or pulling

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

The sentence reads: "...and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail..."

The context indicates that these are "draft proposals" - meaning preliminary or initial versions of proposals that are being shared before finalization. This clearly refers to preliminary versions of documents.

Looking at the senses provided:
1. A document ordering payment - No
2. A current of air - No
3. A preliminary sketch of a design or picture - Possibly, but more about visual works
4. A serving of drink from a keg - No
5. Any of the various versions in the development of a written work | examples=a preliminary draft - YES, this matches perfectly
6. The depth of a vessel's keel - No
7. A regulator for controlling air flow - No
8. A dose of liquid medicine - No
9. Compulsory military service - No
10. A large and hurried swallow - No
11. The act of moving a load by drawing or pulling - No

The answer is clearly 5, as it describes preliminary versions of documents, which is exactly what "draft proposals" are - preliminary versions of proposals before they are finalized.

Which numbered sense of "proposal" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft <t>proposals</t> are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)
2. definition=an offer of marriage
3. definition=the act of making a proposal | examples=they listened to her proposal

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

The sentence mentions "draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail."

In this context, the proposals are being drafted and shared among the 13,000 people at what appears to be a convention or conference. They are being passed around as papers, suggesting they are plans, ideas, or suggestions being discussed.

Let me check each sense:

1. "something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)" - This fits perfectly. The draft proposals are plans or ideas being shared.

2. "an offer of marriage" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no context about marriage proposals.

3. "the act of making a proposal" - This could technically work, but it's less likely. The sentence is talking about the proposals themselves (the things being passed around), not the act of proposing.

The most appropriate sense is #1: "something proposed (such as a plan or assumption)" - which refers to the draft plans/ideas being passed around at the convention.

Which numbered sense of "paper" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on <t>paper</t> rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge.

Senses:
1. definition=a material made of cellulose pulp derived mainly from wood or rags or certain grasses
2. definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | examples=he got an A on his composition
3. definition=a daily or weekly publication on folded sheets; contains news and articles and advertisements | examples=he read his newspaper at breakfast
4. definition=a medium for written communication | examples=the notion of an office running without paper is absurd
5. definition=a scholarly article describing the results of observations or stating hypotheses | examples=he has written many scientific papers
6. definition=a business firm that publishes newspapers | examples=Murdoch owns many newspapers
7. definition=the physical object that is the product of a newspaper publisher | examples=when it began to rain he covered his head with a newspaper

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand how "paper" is being used:

"draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail"

In this context, "paper" refers to the physical material that documents are written or printed on - specifically sheets of paper that are being passed between people containing draft proposals. The sentence contrasts passing documents physically on paper with sending them digitally via email.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a material made of cellulose pulp derived mainly from wood or rags or certain grasses" - This is the raw material definition.

2. "an essay (especially one written as an assignment)" - Not applicable here.

3. "a daily or weekly publication on folded sheets; contains news and articles and advertisements" - Not applicable here.

4. "a medium for written communication" - This could work. Paper is being used as a medium to communicate the draft proposals.

5. "a scholarly article describing the results of observations or stating hypotheses" - Not applicable here.

6. "a business firm that publishes newspapers" - Not applicable here.

7. "the physical object that is the product of a newspaper publisher" - Not applicable here.

Between 1 and 4:
- Sense 1 describes paper as the raw material itself
- Sense 4 describes paper as a medium for written communication

In the sentence, "draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper" - the paper is being used as a medium to write or convey these proposals. This fits sense 4 better - it's about paper as a medium for written communication, not just the material substance.

The answer is 4.

Which numbered sense of "challenge" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a <t>challenge</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a demanding or stimulating situation | examples=they reacted irrationally to the challenge of Russian power
2. definition=a call to engage in a contest or fight
3. definition=questioning a statement and demanding an explanation | examples=his challenge of the assumption that Japan is still our enemy
4. definition=a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror
5. definition=a demand by a sentry for a password or identification

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

The sentence reads: "The sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day, guitar-playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out, and draft proposals are passed hand-to-hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge."

The context describes the chaotic and complex nature of a gathering (appears to be an anti-globalization protest or similar convention). The sentence is saying that all these characteristics of the gathering create or pose a "challenge."

Let me check each sense:

1. "a demanding or stimulating situation" - This fits perfectly. The chaotic nature of the gathering, with thousands of people, various activities, and unconventional processes, creates a demanding/difficult situation. The example given is "they reacted irrationally to the challenge of Russian power" which shows this sense means a difficult situation to deal with.

2. "a call to engage in a contest or fight" - This doesn't fit. There's no contest or fight being called for.

3. "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation" - This doesn't fit. There's no questioning or demanding explanation of a statement.

4. "a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror" - This is too specific and doesn't apply here.

5. "a demand by a sentry for a password or identification" - This doesn't apply at all.

The answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "intensity" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The <t>intensity</t> is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

Senses:
1. definition=the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation) | examples=he adjusted the intensity of the sound
2. definition=high level or degree; the property of being intense
3. definition=the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction) | examples=the kids played their music at full volume
4. definition=chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "intensity" is being used:

"The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen."

The sentence is talking about a situation that is escalating or increasing in seriousness/importance. The ministers and heads of government gathering suggests an important event is building up.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation)" - This refers to physical energy transmission. The sentence doesn't seem to be about acoustic or electromagnetic radiation.

2. "high level or degree; the property of being intense" - This is about the degree or level of something being intense. The sentence is saying "the intensity is only building," meaning the level of importance or seriousness of the situation is increasing. This fits.

3. "the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction)" - This is specifically about sound magnitude. The sentence has nothing to do with sound.

4. "chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue" - This is about color. The sentence has nothing to do with color.

The correct sense is #2 - the sentence is using "intensity" to mean a high level or degree of something (the gathering of ministers and heads of government is building up the intensity or seriousness of the situation).

Which numbered sense of "minister" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key <t>ministers</t> are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen.

Senses:
1. definition=a person authorized to conduct religious worship | examples=clergymen are usually called ministers in Protestant churches
2. definition=a person appointed to a high office in the government | examples=Minister of Finance
3. definition=a diplomat representing one government to another; ranks below ambassador
4. definition=the job of a head of a government department

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

The sentence says: "The intensity is only building: nearly all of the key ministers are now here, and as early as Wednesday 60 heads of government will be in Copenhagen."

The context mentions:
- "key ministers"
- "60 heads of government"
- This appears to be about a government/political event in Copenhagen

The phrase "heads of government" is a key indicator. This is talking about high-ranking government officials who are attending what seems to be a political conference or meeting in Copenhagen.

Looking at the senses:
1. Religious worship/clergymen - No, this doesn't fit the context
2. A person appointed to a high office in the government - Yes, this fits. Ministers as government officials
3. A diplomat representing one government to another - Possibly, but the emphasis on "heads of government" suggests they are government ministers, not diplomats
4. The job of a head of a government department - No, this is asking about the job itself, not the person

The most appropriate sense is #2: "a person appointed to a high office in the government" as exemplified by "Minister of Finance". The context clearly indicates these are high-ranking government officials attending a major political event.

Which numbered sense of "policy" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: We're getting into the big leagues, said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, vice president for global <t>policy</t> at Conservation International.

Senses:
1. definition=a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group | examples=it was a policy of retribution
2. definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation
3. definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy

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

The sentence is: "We're getting into the big leagues, said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, vice president for global policy at Conservation International."

Carlos Manuel Rodriguez holds the position of "vice president for global policy" at Conservation International, which is an environmental organization.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" - This could fit, as "global policy" could refer to a plan of action on global matters.

2. "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" - This is more specifically about government actions and rationalizations. While Conservation International could be considered an organization with influence, this definition seems more focused on government.

3. "written contract or certificate of insurance" - This is clearly not the right definition here, as this is about insurance policies, not what this person does at an organization.

The most fitting sense is #1. In the context of a conservation organization, "global policy" refers to the strategic plans and courses of action that the organization adopts regarding global conservation matters. This is a plan of action adopted by a social group (the organization and its stakeholders).

Sense 2 could partially apply, but it's more specifically about government, whereas sense 1 is more general and applies to organizations as well.

The answer is: 1

Which numbered sense of "heavyweight" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The <t>heavyweights</t> are coming.

Senses:
1. definition=an amateur boxer who weighs no more than 201 pounds
2. definition=a wrestler who weighs more than 214 pounds
3. definition=a professional boxer who weighs more than 190 pounds
4. definition=a very large person; impressive in size or qualities
5. definition=a person of exceptional importance and reputation

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "The heavyweights are coming."

This sentence doesn't specify any weight category for boxers or wrestlers. It's using "heavyweights" in a more general or metaphorical sense.

Let me go through each sense:

1. An amateur boxer who weighs no more than 201 pounds - This is specific to amateur boxing
2. A wrestler who weighs more than 214 pounds - This is specific to wrestling
3. A professional boxer who weighs more than 190 pounds - This is specific to professional boxing
4. A very large person; impressive in size or qualities - This is more general
5. A person of exceptional importance and reputation - This is also more general/metaphorical

Looking at the sentence "The heavyweights are coming" - without any sport context, it appears to be using "heavyweight" in a metaphorical sense to refer to important, impressive people.

The most likely meaning is sense 5: "a person of exceptional importance and reputation" - this fits with the dramatic tone of "The heavyweights are coming" as if referring to important figures arriving.

Alternatively, it could be sense 4, but sense 5 seems more appropriate for this context where we're talking about people of importance.

I'll go with sense 5.

Which numbered sense of "israel" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Baskonia gives away a victory in <t>Israel</t>

Senses:
1. definition=Jewish republic in southwestern Asia at eastern end of Mediterranean; formerly part of Palestine
2. definition=an ancient kingdom of the Hebrew tribes at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean Sea; founded by Saul around 1025 BC and destroyed by the Assyrians in 721 BC

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "Baskonia gives away a victory in <t>Israel</t>"

Baskonia is a professional basketball team from Spain. They are playing a basketball match in Israel.

The sentence is referring to Israel as a geographical location/country where the basketball game is taking place - it's referring to the modern country of Israel.

Sense 1 is: "Jewish republic in southwestern Asia at eastern end of Mediterranean; formerly part of Palestine" - This is referring to the modern state of Israel, the contemporary country.

Sense 2 is: "an ancient kingdom of the Hebrew tribes at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean Sea; founded by Saul around 1025 BC and destroyed by the Assyrians in 721 BC" - This is referring to an ancient historical kingdom.

Since Baskonia is a modern basketball team, and the context is about them playing a game "in Israel," this is clearly referring to the modern country of Israel, not the ancient kingdom. So the answer should be sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "team" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's <t>team</t>'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.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

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

The sentence is about basketball (mentioning "victory," "Caja Laboral," "Maccabee Electra court," "three-pointers scored," "points"). The context shows:
- "Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy losses" - referring to a sports team
- "best on his team with eight three-pointers scored" - again referring to a sports team
- "they now at the top of their group" - competitive sports context

The word "team" in the sentence refers to a cooperative unit of basketball players working together in a sport (specifically basketball).

Sense 1 says: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)"
Sense 2 says: "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" (like horses or oxen)

This clearly matches sense 1 - it's a cooperative unit specifically in the context of sports.

Which numbered sense of "loss" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy <t>losses</t>, 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.

Senses:
1. definition=something that is lost | examples=the car was a total loss
2. definition=gradual decline in amount or activity | examples=weight loss
3. definition=the act of losing someone or something | examples=everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock
4. definition=the disadvantage that results from losing something | examples=his loss of credibility led to his resignation
5. definition=the experience of losing a loved one | examples=he sympathized on the loss of their grandfather
6. definition=the amount by which the cost of a business exceeds its revenue | examples=the company operated at a loss last year
7. definition=military personnel lost by death or capture
8. definition=euphemistic expressions for death | examples=thousands mourned his passing

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

The sentence is: "Caja Laboral achieved a stunning 82-91 victory on their visit to the Maccabee Electra court despite Dusko Ivanovic's team's heavy <t>losses</t>, and after the great performance by Mizra Teltovic..."

The context is about a basketball game. The team achieved a victory "despite...heavy losses." In sports context, particularly basketball/soccer, "losses" refers to games that were lost.

Looking at the senses:
1. something that is lost - could apply, but not the best fit
2. gradual decline in amount or activity - not relevant here
3. the act of losing someone or something - this could fit - the act of losing games
4. the disadvantage that results from losing something - not quite right
5. the experience of losing a loved one - not relevant
6. the amount by which cost exceeds revenue - not relevant in sports context
7. military personnel lost by death or capture - not relevant
8. euphemistic expressions for death - not relevant

The most appropriate sense would be #3: "the act of losing someone or something" - in this case, the act of losing games/matches. The example given is "everyone expected him to win so his loss was a shock" - this refers to the act of losing a competition.

In sports, "losses" typically refers to games lost, which aligns with sense #3.

Which numbered sense of "performance" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: 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 <t>performance</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a dramatic or musical entertainment | examples=they listened to ten different performances
2. definition=the act of presenting a play or a piece of music or other entertainment | examples=we congratulated him on his performance at the rehearsal
3. definition=the act of performing; of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it | examples=they criticised his performance as mayor
4. definition=any recognized accomplishment | examples=they admired his performance under stress
5. definition=process or manner of functioning or operating | examples=the power of its engine determines its operation

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

The sentence reads: "...and after the great <t>performance</t> by Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points)..."

This is talking about how well Mizra Teltovic played in a basketball game. The "performance" refers to his accomplishment and how well he did in the game - he scored 29 points and had eight three-pointers, making him the best on his team.

Let me check each sense:

1. A dramatic or musical entertainment - No, this isn't about an entertainment presentation
2. The act of presenting a play or piece of music or other entertainment - No, this isn't about presenting entertainment
3. The act of performing; doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it - This could fit - it's about how well he performed/did in the game
4. Any recognized accomplishment - This fits very well - it's describing an accomplishment in sports
5. Process or manner of functioning or operating - Not applicable here

Between 3 and 4, sense 4 seems most appropriate because it emphasizes "recognized accomplishment" which matches the context of a great performance in a sports game where he had measurable success (29 points, 8 three-pointers, best on his team).

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 3 is about "the act of performing" which also fits well - it's about how well he performed in the game. But sense 4 "any recognized accomplishment" seems more directly applicable.

I think the answer is 4.

Sentence: 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 <t>team</t> with eight three-pointers scored (29 points), they now at the top of their group.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

reasoning_content:
Looking at the sentence, I need to identify how "team" is used in the phrase "best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points)".

The context is about Mizra Teltovic performing well in a basketball game. The sentence is saying he was the best player on his team (referring to the basketball team/cooperative unit of players working together in sports).

Let me check the senses:
1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This fits perfectly. Mizra Teltovic was the best on his basketball team.
2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This doesn't fit at all. There are no draft animals being discussed.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "point" is being used.

The sentence says: "Mizra Teltovic, who was the best on his team with eight three-pointers scored (29 points)"

In this context, "points" refers to the score in a basketball game. The player scored 8 three-pointers (which would be 24 points from three-pointers) and had 29 points total. This is clearly about scoring in a game.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 10 is: "the unit of counting in scoring a game or contest" with examples "he scored 20 points in the first half"

This matches perfectly. In basketball, points are the units used to measure the score in the game.

The answer is 10.

Which numbered sense of "top" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: 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 <t>top</t> of their group.

Senses:
1. definition=the upper part of anything | examples=the mower cuts off the tops of the grass
2. definition=the highest or uppermost side of anything | examples=put your books on top of the desk
3. definition=the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill) | examples=the view from the peak was magnificent
4. definition=the first half of an inning; while the visiting team is at bat | examples=a relief pitcher took over in the top of the fifth
5. definition=the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development | examples=his landscapes were deemed the acme of beauty
6. definition=the greatest possible intensity | examples=he screamed at the top of his lungs
7. definition=platform surrounding the head of a lower mast

9. definition=covering for a hole (especially a hole in the top of a container) | examples=he removed the top of the carton
10. definition=a garment (especially for women) that extends from the shoulders to the waist or hips | examples=he stared as she buttoned her top
11. definition=a canvas tent to house the audience at a circus performance | examples=he was afraid of a fire in the circus tent

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "they now at the <t>top</t> of their group."

The context is about a sports team's performance. They achieved a victory and now they are "at the top of their group," which refers to being in the highest position in the standings or ranking of their group.

Let me review the senses:

1. The upper part of anything - doesn't fit
2. The highest or uppermost side of anything - this is spatial/physical, not about ranking
3. The top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill) - doesn't fit
4. The first half of an inning; while the visiting team is at bat - sports related but not this context
5. The highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development - this could fit! Being at the top of the group means being at the highest level/ranking
6. The greatest possible intensity - doesn't fit
7. Platform surrounding the head of a lower mast - doesn't fit
8. A conical child's plaything - doesn't fit
9. Covering for a hole - doesn't fit
10. A garment for women - doesn't fit
11. A canvas tent - doesn't fit

"At the top of their group" means they are at the highest position/ranking in their group. This best matches sense 5: "the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development" - being at the top of the group means being at the highest level/stage of development in that group's standings.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 2 as well - "the highest or uppermost side of anything." While this is typically used for physical objects, it could metaphorically apply to being highest in a ranking. However, sense 5 seems more fitting as it specifically talks about "highest level or degree" which aligns with being at the top position in a ranking/standing.

The answer is 5.

Which numbered sense of "group" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: 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 <t>group</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit
2. definition=(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule
3. definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse

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

The sentence is about a basketball game and mentions that a team is "at the top of their group."

In sports contexts, particularly in tournaments and competitions, a "group" refers to a division or section of teams/competitors that are grouped together for competitive purposes - like a group stage in a tournament where multiple teams compete against each other.

Let me check each definition:

1. "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" - This is a general definition that could fit. The teams in a group stage would be entities considered as a unit competing together.

2. "(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule" - This is clearly not about chemistry in this context.

3. "a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse" - This is a mathematical definition of a group in algebra, not relevant here.

The most appropriate sense is **1** - "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" - because the basketball teams are considered as a unit within their group (group stage of a competition).

Which numbered sense of "team" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The Vitorian <t>team</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

reasoning_content:
The sentence is talking about a sports team - "The Vitorian team" - that is making up for player absences with teamwork and involvement, ultimately taking victory. This is clearly referring to a group of athletes working together in a cooperative unit for sports, which matches sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)."

Sense 2 refers to draft animals like horses pulling together, which is not what's being discussed here.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "absence" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: 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, even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory.

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being absent | examples=he was surprised by the absence of any explanation
2. definition=failure to be present
3. definition=the time interval during which something or somebody is away | examples=he visited during my absence
4. definition=the occurrence of an abrupt, transient loss or impairment of consciousness (which is not subsequently remembered), sometimes with light twitching, fluttering eyelids, etc.; common in petit mal epilepsy

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "absence":

The sentence reads: "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..."

Here, "absences" refers to the fact that these specific players were not present/missing from the team during this game or games.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the state of being absent" - This is about the condition or state of not being present
2. "failure to be present" - This is about not showing up
3. "the time interval during which something or somebody is away" - This is about a period of time when someone is absent
4. "the occurrence of an abrupt, transient loss or impairment of consciousness" - This is medical/neurological, clearly not applicable here

In the context of sports, when we say a team had to "make up for the absences of [player names]," we're talking about those players not being present/available to play. This refers to the fact that those players were missing from the team.

This best fits sense 1 - "the state of being absent" - referring to the condition that these players were not present.

Alternatively, it could be sense 2 - "failure to be present" - but sense 1 seems more directly applicable as it encompasses the general state of not being there.

Actually, sense 3 "the time interval during which something or somebody is away" could also apply - referring to the period during which these players were away/unavailable.

Let me think more carefully. In sports context, when players are "absent," it typically refers to them not being available to play. This could be:
- Sense 1: the state of being absent (they were in a state of absence)
- Sense 3: the time interval during which they were away (the period of their absence from the team)

I think sense 1 is the most appropriate here - it's describing the state of absence of these players.

Which numbered sense of "involvement" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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

Senses:
1. definition=the act of sharing in the activities of a group | examples=the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities
2. definition=a connection of inclusion or containment | examples=he escaped involvement in the accident
3. definition=a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something | examples=an interest in music
4. definition=a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship
5. definition=the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the different senses of "involvement":

The sentence is: "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."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" - This talks about participating in group activities. In the sentence, the team is using "involvement" and "teamwork" to make up for player absences. This could be about engaging/participating.

2. "a connection of inclusion or containment" - This doesn't seem to fit well. It's about being implicated or caught up in something.

3. "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" - This is more about interest. Doesn't fit well.

4. "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship" - Clearly not relevant here.

5. "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" - This is about sharing with others in a common condition or partnership.

In the context of a sports team compensating for absences with "involvement and teamwork," the meaning seems to be about players being actively engaged and participating together.

Sense 1 emphasizes "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" which fits - the team is involving themselves in the game activities to compensate for the missing players.

Sense 5 emphasizes "the condition of sharing in common with others" which could also fit, but seems more about a state of partnership.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because it's about the active engagement and participation of the players in group activities (the game), which is what allows them to compensate for the absences.

Which numbered sense of "end" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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 <t>end</t> to take the victory.

Senses:
1. definition=either extremity of something that has length | examples=the end of the pier
2. definition=the point in time at which something ends | examples=the end of the year
3. definition=the concluding parts of an event or occurrence | examples=the end was exciting
4. definition=the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it | examples=the ends justify the means
5. definition=a final part or section | examples=we have given it at the end of the section since it involves the calculus
6. definition=a final state | examples=he came to a bad end
7. definition=the surface at either extremity of a three-dimensional object | examples=one end of the box was marked `This side up'
8. definition=(football) the person who plays at one end of the line of scrimmage | examples=the end managed to hold onto the pass
9. definition=a boundary marking the extremities of something | examples=the end of town
10. definition=one of two places from which people are communicating to each other | examples=the phone rang at the other end
11. definition=the part you are expected to play | examples=he held up his end
12. definition=the last section of a communication | examples=in conclusion I want to say...
13. definition=a piece of cloth that is left over after the rest has been used or sold
14. definition=(American football) a position on the line of scrimmage | examples=no one wanted to play end

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the 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 <t>end</t> to take the victory."

In this context, "until the end" refers to the concluding part of a game/match. They had to "hold out until the end" - meaning they had to persist until the conclusion/finish of the game to achieve victory.

Let me check each sense:
1. Either extremity of something with length - No, not about physical extremity
2. The point in time at which something ends - This could work - "until the end" is a point in time
3. The concluding parts of an event or occurrence - Yes, this fits well - the concluding part of the game
4. A state of affairs a plan intends to achieve - No
5. A final part or section - Yes, this could also fit
6. A final state - Not really
7. Surface at extremity of 3D object - No
8. Football player position - No
9. A boundary - No
10. One of two places for communication - No
11. The part you're expected to play - No
12. Last section of communication - No
13. Leftover cloth - No
14. American football position - No

The best fit is sense 2 or 3. Let me think more carefully:
- Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - examples: "the end of the year"
- Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" - examples: "the end was exciting"

In "hold out until the end," we're talking about a point in time (when the game concludes), so sense 2 seems most appropriate.

Actually, both 2 and 3 could work, but sense 2 ("the point in time at which something ends") seems more precise for "until the end" in this context.

Which numbered sense of "sideline" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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

Senses:
1. definition=a line that marks the side boundary of a playing field
2. definition=an auxiliary line of merchandise
3. definition=an auxiliary activity

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

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

Let me think about what each sense means:
1. A line that marks the side boundary of a playing field - This is the literal physical line on a basketball court
2. An auxiliary line of merchandise - This would be a secondary product line in business
3. An auxiliary activity - This would be a secondary or supplementary activity

In basketball context, "three pointers" are being scored. The phrase "from the sidelines" refers to shooting from the sideline area of the court. This is referring to the line itself or the area near the boundary line of the playing field.

So the answer should be sense 1 - "a line that marks the side boundary of a playing field"

Which numbered sense of "lot" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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

Senses:
1. definition=(often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent | examples=a batch of letters
2. definition=a parcel of land having fixed boundaries | examples=he bought a lot on the lake
3. definition=an unofficial association of people or groups | examples=the smart set goes there
4. definition=your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you) | examples=whatever my fortune may be
5. definition=anything (straws or pebbles etc.) taken or chosen at random | examples=the luck of the draw
6. definition=any collection in its entirety | examples=she bought the whole caboodle
7. definition=(Old Testament) nephew of Abraham; God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah but chose to spare Lot and his family who were told to flee without looking back at the destruction

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

In this context, "a lot" means "a large amount" or "a significant amount/extent." The phrase "had a lot to do with" means "was significantly responsible for" or "contributed greatly to."

Looking at the senses:
1. "a large number or amount or extent" - This matches. The phrase "had a lot to do with" means there was a large amount/significant extent of contribution.
2. "a parcel of land having fixed boundaries" - This doesn't fit the context.
3. "an unofficial association of people or groups" - Doesn't fit.
4. "your overall circumstances or condition in life" - Doesn't fit.
5. "anything taken or chosen at random" - Doesn't fit.
6. "any collection in its entirety" - Could somewhat fit, but less likely than sense 1.
7. "nephew of Abraham" - This is a proper noun, doesn't fit.

The correct answer is sense 1, as "had a lot to do with" means "had a large amount/great extent to do with" - indicating that their success significantly contributed to the final triumph.

Which numbered sense of "triumph" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

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

Senses:
1. definition=a successful ending of a struggle or contest | examples=a narrow victory
2. definition=the exultation of victory

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

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

In this context, "triumph" refers to the final victory or successful ending of a game/contest. The sentence is talking about how their successful three-point shooting contributed to their final victory/win in a sporting event.

Let me check both senses:

1. "a successful ending of a struggle or contest" - This matches. The "triumph" here refers to winning the game/contest. The context shows it's about the final victory.

2. "the exultation of victory" - This refers more to the feeling or emotion of winning, the celebration of victory. While there might be some exultation implied, the primary meaning here is the actual victory itself, not the emotional celebration.

The sentence is using "triumph" to mean the final victory/successful ending of the contest, so the answer is sense 1.

Which numbered sense of "game" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The <t>game</t> started out in favor of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start.

Senses:
1. definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game
2. definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
3. definition=an amusement or pastime | examples=they played word games
4. definition=animal hunted for food or sport
5. definition=(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
6. definition=(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win | examples=the game is 6 all
7. definition=the flesh of wild animals that is used for food
8. definition=a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal) | examples=they concocted a plot to discredit the governor
9. definition=the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game | examples=the child received several games for his birthday
10. definition=your occupation or line of work | examples=he's in the plumbing game
11. definition=frivolous or trifling behavior | examples=for actors, memorizing lines is no game

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

The context suggests this is about a sports match/competition. The key clues are:
- "started out" - indicating the beginning
- "in favor of" - meaning they were winning
- "put themselves ahead on the scoreboard" - keeping score is typical of sports competitions
- The mention of scoreboard makes it clear this is a single sports event/match

Let me check which sense fits:

1. "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - This could work, but it's more general
2. "a single play of a sport or other contest" - This fits perfectly! The sentence is talking about one specific game/match that lasted a certain time period and had a scoreboard
3. "an amusement or pastime" - No, this doesn't fit the sports context
4. "animal hunted for food or sport" - No
5. "(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves" - No, this is about tennis specifically
6. "(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win" - No, the game itself is the subject, not the score
7. "the flesh of wild animals that is used for food" - No
8. "a secret scheme" - No
9. "the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game" - No
10. "your occupation or line of work" - No
11. "frivolous or trifling behavior" - No

The best fit is sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" - because it's talking about one specific game/match that has a duration and scoreboard.

Which numbered sense of "favor" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The game started out in <t>favor</t> of the Azulgranas, who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start.

Senses:
1. definition=an act of gracious kindness
2. definition=an advantage to the benefit of someone or something | examples=the outcome was in his favor
3. definition=an inclination to approve | examples=that style is in favor this season
4. definition=a feeling of favorable regard
5. definition=souvenir consisting of a small gift given to a guest at a party

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

The phrase is "in favor of the Azulgranas" and it means that the game started out with an advantage for the Azulgranas team. They were ahead on the scoreboard, which shows they had the advantage.

Let me review the senses:
1. an act of gracious kindness - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about kindness.
2. an advantage to the benefit of someone or something | examples=the outcome was in his favor - This fits perfectly! "In favor of" means the advantage was with the Azulgranas team.
3. an inclination to approve | examples=that style is in favor this season - This is about approval/being popular, not about advantage in a game.
4. a feeling of favorable regard - This is about feelings/opinions, not about advantage.
5. souvenir consisting of a small gift given to a guest at a party - This is clearly not about a game advantage.

The correct answer is sense 2.
