9. definition=a scheduled trip by plane between designated airports | examples=I took the noon flight to Chicago

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Flesh goes to total alert for <t>flight</t> or fight."

This sentence is about the body's response to danger - the "fight or flight" response. In this context, "flight" refers to the act of escaping physically from a dangerous situation.

Let me check each sense:
1. a formation of aircraft in flight - No, this is about military aircraft formations
2. an instance of traveling by air - No, this is about air travel
3. a stairway between floors - No, this is about stairs
4. the act of escaping physically - YES! This matches the "fight or flight" response where flight means escape
5. an air force unit - No, this is about military units
6. passing above and beyond ordinary bounds - No, this is about imagination/fantasy
7. the path followed by an object moving through space - No, this is about trajectories
8. a flock of flying birds - No, this is about birds
9. a scheduled trip by plane - No, this is about airplane travel

The correct answer is 4 - "the act of escaping physically" which matches the "fight or flight" survival response.

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

Sentence: Flesh goes to total alert for flight or <t>fight</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war | examples=Grant won a decisive victory in the battle of Chickamauga
2. definition=the act of fighting; any contest or struggle | examples=a fight broke out at the hockey game
3. definition=an aggressive willingness to compete | examples=the team was full of fight

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Flesh goes to total alert for flight or fight."

This is referring to the "fight or flight" response, which is a physiological reaction to perceived threat or danger. In this context, "fight" refers to the response of confronting or engaging with a threat, as opposed to fleeing from it.

Let me look at each definition:

1. "a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war" - This is too specific to military warfare. The sentence is about a general physiological response, not military combat.

2. "the act of fighting; any contest or struggle" - This is a general definition of fighting or engaging in conflict/struggle. This seems to fit the "fight or flight" context well.

3. "an aggressive willingness to compete" - This refers to a quality or attitude rather than the act itself. While "fight" in the physiological sense does require willingness/readiness, this seems more focused on the competitive spirit.

4. "an intense verbal dispute" - This is too specific to verbal arguments. The "fight or flight" response isn't necessarily about verbal disputes.

5. "a boxing or wrestling match" - This is too specific to sports. The sentence is about a general physiological response.

The best answer is 2, "the act of fighting; any contest or struggle" because it captures the general meaning of fighting or engaging with a threat, which is what the physiological "fight or flight" response refers to.

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

Sentence: <t>Nausea</t> seems a commonplace symptom.

Senses:
1. definition=the state that precedes vomiting
2. definition=disgust so strong it makes you feel sick

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Nausea seems a commonplace symptom."

The sentence is discussing nausea as a symptom that is commonplace. When we talk about nausea as a medical or physical symptom, we're referring to the feeling that precedes vomiting - the physical sensation of sickness.

Sense 1: "the state that precedes vomiting" - This is the medical/physical definition of nausea.

Sense 2: "disgust so strong it makes you feel sick" - This is a more figurative or metaphorical use of nausea, where it's used to describe an emotional disgust.

In the sentence, nausea is described as a "symptom," which is a medical/physical term. Symptoms are typically physical manifestations. This clearly points to sense 1 - the physical state that precedes vomiting.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Nausea <t>seems</t> a commonplace symptom.

Senses:
1. definition=give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect | examples=She seems to be sleeping
2. definition=seem to be true, probable, or apparent | examples=It seems that he is very gifted
3. definition=appear to exist | examples=There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now
4. definition=appear to one's own mind or opinion | examples=I seem to be misunderstood by everyone

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence "Nausea seems a commonplace symptom."

In this sentence, "seems" means that nausea appears to be or gives the impression of being a commonplace symptom. The speaker is saying that nausea appears to have the characteristic of being a commonplace symptom.

Let me check each sense:

1. "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" - This fits. Nausea gives the impression of being a commonplace symptom. Example: "She seems to be sleeping" - she gives the impression/outward aspect of sleeping.

2. "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" - This could also fit somewhat, but it's more about something being true or probable rather than giving an impression.

3. "appear to exist" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about nausea appearing to exist; it's about nausea appearing to be a commonplace symptom.

4. "appear to one's own mind or opinion" - This doesn't fit well. This would be more like "Nausea seems to me to be commonplace" where it's about personal perception.

The most appropriate sense is #1: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect". The sentence is saying that nausea gives the impression of being a commonplace symptom, or appears to be a commonplace symptom in terms of its character/nature.

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

Sentence: Nausea seems a <t>commonplace</t> symptom.

Senses:
1. definition=completely ordinary and unremarkable | examples=air travel has now become commonplace
2. definition=not challenging; dull and lacking excitement | examples=an unglamorous job greasing engines
3. definition=repeated too often; overfamiliar through overuse | examples=bromidic sermons

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Nausea seems a commonplace symptom."

In this context, "commonplace" means that nausea is an ordinary, common symptom that we frequently encounter. It's not rare or unusual.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "completely ordinary and unremarkable" - This fits well. Nausea is an ordinary, common symptom that is not remarkable or unusual. The example given is "air travel has now become commonplace" which means air travel is now ordinary and common.

2. "not challenging; dull and lacking excitement" - This doesn't fit well. The sentence isn't suggesting that nausea is dull or lacks excitement; it's saying it's common/ordinary.

3. "repeated too often; overfamiliar through overuse" - This is about something being overfamiliar due to being repeated, like a cliché. While nausea might be frequently encountered, the sentence isn't really emphasizing that it's become clichéd through overuse.

Sense 1 is the best match. The sentence is using "commonplace" to mean that nausea is a completely ordinary and unremarkable symptom.

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

Sentence: Nausea seems a commonplace <t>symptom</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=(medicine) any sensation or change in bodily function that is experienced by a patient and is associated with a particular disease
2. definition=anything that accompanies X and is regarded as an indication of X's existence

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Nausea seems a commonplace symptom."

In this sentence, "symptom" is being used to refer to nausea, which is a bodily sensation experienced by a patient that is associated with a disease or illness.

Let me compare this with the two definitions:

1. "(medicine) any sensation or change in bodily function that is experienced by a patient and is associated with a particular disease" - This matches perfectly. Nausea is a sensation experienced by a patient that is associated with various diseases.

2. "anything that accompanies X and is regarded as an indication of X's existence" - This is a more general definition that could apply to anything that serves as a sign or indication of something else.

The sentence is using "symptom" in the specific medical sense - referring to an actual bodily sensation (nausea) that is experienced by a patient. This clearly aligns with definition 1, which specifically mentions "(medicine)" and describes sensations or changes in bodily function experienced by patients associated with disease.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: I <t>walked</t> along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few minutes before eight this morning.

Senses:
1. definition=use one's feet to advance; advance by steps | examples=Walk, don't run!
2. definition=accompany or escort | examples=I'll walk you to your car
3. definition=obtain a base on balls
4. definition=traverse or cover by walking | examples=Walk the tightrope
5. definition=give a base on balls to
6. definition=live or behave in a specified manner | examples=walk in sadness
7. definition=be or act in association with | examples=We must walk with our dispossessed brothers and sisters
8. definition=walk at a pace | examples=The horses walked across the meadow
9. definition=make walk | examples=He walks the horse up the mountain
10. definition=take a walk; go for a walk; walk for pleasure | examples=The lovers held hands while walking

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "I <t>walked</t> along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few minutes before eight this morning."

The person is describing moving on foot along a street (Shattuck) between two locations (Delaware and Cedar) at a specific time (a few minutes before eight this morning).

Let me go through the senses:

1. "use one's feet to advance; advance by steps" - This could fit, as the person is moving on foot.

2. "accompany or escort" - No, there's no indication someone else is being escorted.

3. "obtain a base on balls" - No, this is about baseball.

4. "traverse or cover by walking" - This fits well - the person walked along/covered the distance along Shattuck street.

5. "give a base on balls to" - No, baseball context.

6. "live or behave in a specified manner" - No, this isn't about manner of living.

7. "be or act in association with" - No, not about association.

8. "walk at a pace" - This could fit, describing the manner/pace of walking.

9. "make walk" - No, the person walked themselves, not made someone else walk.

10. "take a walk; go for a walk; walk for pleasure" - This could fit, as the person went for a walk.

Between these options, sense 4 ("traverse or cover by walking") seems like the best fit because the sentence specifically emphasizes the path (along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar), which indicates the focus is on covering or traversing that specific route. The phrase "along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar" is specifying the distance/route covered.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 ("use one's feet to advance; advance by steps") is also very general and could apply. But sense 4 is more specific to emphasizing the traversing of a particular route.
The most fitting definition is sense 4, since the emphasis on the specific route—along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar—points to the act of covering that particular distance rather than just the general act of moving on foot.

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

Sentence: I walked along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few <t>minutes</t> before eight this morning.

Senses:
1. definition=a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour | examples=he ran a 4 minute mile
2. definition=an indefinitely short time | examples=wait just a moment
3. definition=a particular point in time | examples=the moment he arrived the party began
4. definition=a unit of angular distance equal to a 60th of a degree
5. definition=a short note | examples=the secretary keeps the minutes of the meeting
6. definition=distance measured by the time taken to cover it | examples=we live an hour from the airport

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "I walked along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few <t>minutes</t> before eight this morning."

The phrase "a few minutes before eight" is referring to time. Let me think about which sense applies:

1. "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour" - This is about the standard unit of time. "A few minutes before eight" would be like 7:58 or 7:57, etc. This makes sense.

2. "an indefinitely short time" - This would be like "wait just a moment" - it's vague. "A few minutes before eight" is more specific with "a few minutes."

3. "a particular point in time" - This is about a specific moment, like "the moment he arrived." This could fit with "before eight" being a particular point in time.

4. "a unit of angular distance equal to a 60th of a degree" - This is about angles, not relevant here.

5. "a short note" - This is about written notes, not relevant here.

6. "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - Like "an hour from the airport" means the distance you can travel in an hour. "A few minutes before eight" doesn't fit this usage.

The most natural interpretation is sense 1 - the unit of time equal to 60 seconds. "A few minutes before eight" means a few 60-second units before 8 o'clock, so at approximately 7:57 or 7:58.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: I walked along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few minutes before eight this <t>morning</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the time period between dawn and noon | examples=I spent the morning running errands
2. definition=a conventional expression of greeting or farewell
3. definition=the first light of day | examples=we got up before dawn
4. definition=the earliest period | examples=the dawn of civilization

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

The sentence is: "I walked along Shattuck between Delaware and Cedar at a few minutes before eight this <t>morning</t>."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the time period between dawn and noon" - This refers to the part of the day from dawn until noon. In the sentence, the speaker says they walked "at a few minutes before eight this morning" - 8 o'clock would be in the morning time period (between dawn and noon). This fits the definition of a time period in the morning hours.

2. "a conventional expression of greeting or farewell" - This would be something like saying "good morning" as a greeting. The word is not being used this way in the sentence.

3. "the first light of day" - This is a more poetic/literal sense referring to dawn/first light specifically. While the event happened in the morning, it's not referring to the first light of day specifically.

4. "the earliest period" - This is used metaphorically (like "the dawn of civilization"). Not applicable here.

The sentence is using "morning" to refer to the time of day when the speaker went for a walk - specifically around 8 AM, which falls within the morning period (between dawn and noon). This clearly matches sense 1.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: <t>Next</t> to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=immediately following in time or order | examples=the following day
2. definition=nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space | examples=had adjacent rooms
3. definition=(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving | examples=our next president

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "next" provided.

The sentence: "Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, 'Good morning' and then the woman smiled, said, 'Isn't it great just to be alive?'"

The phrase is "Next to Chez Panisse" - this is being used to indicate the location or position of the homeless couple in relation to Chez Panisse (which appears to be a restaurant).

Let me check each sense:

1. "immediately following in time or order" - This doesn't fit. The phrase isn't referring to something that follows in time or order.

2. "nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space" - This fits perfectly! "Next to Chez Panisse" means the homeless couple was located right beside/adjacent to Chez Panisse, in terms of spatial position.

3. "(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving" - This doesn't apply to this sentence at all.

The correct sense is 2.

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a <t>blue</t> sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=of the color intermediate between green and violet; having a color similar to that of a clear unclouded sky; - Helen Hunt Jackson | examples=October's bright blue weather
2. definition=used to signify the Union forces in the American Civil War (who wore blue uniforms) | examples=a ragged blue line
3. definition=filled with melancholy and despondency | examples=gloomy at the thought of what he had to face
4. definition=characterized by profanity or cursing | examples=foul-mouthed and blasphemous
5. definition=suggestive of sexual impropriety | examples=a blue movie
6. definition=belonging to or characteristic of the nobility or aristocracy | examples=an aristocratic family
7. definition=morally rigorous and strict | examples=the puritan work ethic
8. definition=causing dejection | examples=a blue day

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

"Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a <t>blue</t> sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? ""

In this sentence, "blue" is describing a sleeping bag. The context is about a homeless couple and a sleeping bag. The word "blue" is being used to describe the color of the sleeping bag.

Let me review the senses:
1. of the color intermediate between green and violet; having a color similar to that of a clear unclouded sky
2. used to signify the Union forces in the American Civil War (who wore blue uniforms)
3. filled with melancholy and despondency
4. characterized by profanity or cursing
5. suggestive of sexual impropriety
6. belonging to or characteristic of the nobility or aristocracy
7. morally rigorous and strict
8. causing dejection

The sentence is clearly using "blue" to describe the physical color of the sleeping bag - it's a sleeping bag that is colored blue. This matches sense 1, which is about the color blue that is similar to a clear sky.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, <t>sat up</t>, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=not go to bed | examples=Don't stay up so late--you have to go to work tomorrow
2. definition=change to an upright sitting position | examples=He sat up in bed

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

The sentence says: "a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, <t>sat up</t>, said, 'Good morning' and then the woman smiled..."

The context shows that the couple was initially lying down (bundled into a sleeping bag), and then they "sat up" and started speaking. This clearly indicates they changed their position from lying down to an upright sitting position.

Let me compare with the senses:

1. "not go to bed" - This means to stay awake. This doesn't fit because the sentence is describing a change in physical position, not about staying awake.

2. "change to an upright sitting position" - This is exactly what's happening. They went from being bundled in a sleeping bag (lying down) to sitting up.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, <t>said</t>, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=express in words | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her
2. definition=report or maintain | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime
3. definition=express a supposition | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth
4. definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | examples=The passage reads as follows
5. definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | examples=I said to him to go home
6. definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way | examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way
7. definition=communicate or express nonverbally | examples=What does this painting say?
8. definition=utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office
9. definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business
10. definition=recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace
11. definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon

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

"Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning" and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive?"

The verb "said" is used here in two instances:
1. "sat up, said, 'Good morning'"
2. "smiled, said, 'Isn't it great just to be alive?'"

In both cases, the person is expressing words verbally. They are uttering spoken words aloud.

Let me check each sense:
1. "express in words" - This is general, about saying something
2. "report or maintain" - This is about claiming or alleging something
3. "express a supposition" - This is about hypothetical situations
4. "have or contain a certain wording" - This is about text/passages
5. "give instructions" - This doesn't fit
6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - This is about how something is said
7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - This is nonverbal, so not right
8. "utter aloud" - This is about speaking words aloud
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement" - This is about opinions
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - This is about repeating memorized text
11. "indicate" - This is about showing or pointing

The sentence shows someone speaking greetings and questions aloud. The most appropriate sense is either 1 (express in words) or 8 (utter aloud).

Sense 8 "utter aloud" with the example "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office" is the closest match, as both involve speaking words aloud verbally.

The answer is 8.

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

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the <t>woman</t> smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=an adult female person (as opposed to a man) | examples=the woman kept house while the man hunted
2. definition=a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man | examples=he was faithful to his woman
3. definition=a human female employed to do housework | examples=the char will clean the carpet
4. definition=women as a class | examples=it's an insult to American womanhood

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

The sentence is: "Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive?"

Context clues:
- "a homeless couple" - establishes we're talking about two people in a relationship
- "the woman" - refers to one of the two people in this couple
- She smiled and spoke about being alive
- The article "the" is used, suggesting a specific individual being referred to

Now let me look at the senses:

1. "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)" - This is the basic definition distinguishing a female human from a male human
2. "a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man" - This emphasizes a woman defined by her relationship to a man
3. "a human female employed to do housework" - This is about domestic work, not relevant here
4. "women as a class" - This refers to women collectively, not an individual

In this sentence, "the woman" is simply referring to the female member of the homeless couple. It's using the basic definition of an adult female person. The sentence doesn't emphasize her role as a girlfriend/wife, doesn't mention housework, and isn't talking about women as a class. It's just identifying one individual person as a woman (an adult female).

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman <t>smiled</t>, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? "

Senses:
1. definition=change one's facial expression by spreading the lips, often to signal pleasure
2. definition=express with a smile | examples=She smiled her thanks

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

The sentence reads: "Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman <t>smiled</t>, said, "Isn't it great just to be alive? ""

Looking at the context:
- The woman "smiled" and then "said, 'Isn't it great just to be alive?'"
- She is expressing pleasure and happiness about being alive
- The action is simply changing her facial expression to show pleasure

Now let me compare with the senses:

Sense 1: "change one's facial expression by spreading the lips, often to signal pleasure"
- This is the basic physical action of smiling
- In the sentence, the woman is simply smiling (physically changing her facial expression) to express pleasure

Sense 2: "express with a smile | examples=She smiled her thanks"
- This is using a smile to communicate something specific
- The example "She smiled her thanks" means expressing thanks through a smile
- In the sentence, the woman is just smiling; she's not using the smile to express something specific in place of words

The sentence is using "smile" in the most basic sense - the physical action of changing one's facial expression by spreading the lips to signal pleasure/happiness. It's not expressing something through the smile in the way sense 2 describes (like "smile her thanks").

The answer is 1.

8. utter aloud - speak out loud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare - expressing opinion
10. recite or repeat a fixed text - repeating something memorized
11. indicate - point out/show

In the sentence, the woman is expressing her opinion/judgement about life ("Isn't it great just to be alive?"). This is clearly her personal view and declaration about what she thinks about being alive.

This seems to fit sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" with the example "I say let's forget this whole business" - which is also expressing an opinion or declaration.

The answer is 9.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Isn't it great just to be alive?"

The woman is expressing her appreciation and joy at simply being alive. She's saying that it's wonderful, excellent, or very good to be alive.

Let me check each sense:

1. "relatively large in size or number" - No, "great" isn't being used to describe size here
2. "of major significance or importance" - This could potentially fit, but the context suggests more of an emotional appreciation
3. "remarkable or out of the ordinary in degree or magnitude or effect" - This could work, but seems more technical
4. "very good" - Yes! The woman is expressing that it's very good/wonderful to be alive. This matches perfectly with her emotional tone of gratitude and joy.
5. "uppercase" - No, doesn't apply
6. "in an advanced stage of pregnancy" - No, doesn't apply

The answer is 4 - "very good"

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

Sentence: Next to Chez Panisse a homeless couple, bundled into a blue sleeping bag, sat up, said, "Good morning "and then the woman smiled, said, "Isn't it great just to be <t>alive</t>? "

Senses:
1. definition=possessing life | examples=the happiest person alive
2. definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples=she was wonderfully alive for her age
3. definition=having life or vigor or spirit | examples=an animated and expressive face
4. definition=(followed by `to' or `of') aware of | examples=is alive to the moods of others
5. definition=in operation | examples=keep hope alive
6. definition=mentally perceptive and responsive | examples=an alert mind
7. definition=capable of erupting | examples=a live volcano

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the context of how "alive" is being used.

The sentence is: "Isn't it great just to be alive?"

The woman is saying this about simply existing - just the fact of being alive. She's expressing appreciation for the state of being alive, for having life itself.

Let me look at each sense:

1. possessing life (the happiest person alive) - This fits. It's referring to the state of possessing life.

2. full of life and spirit (she was wonderfully alive for her age) - This would imply she has energy and vitality, not just existing.

3. having life or vigor or spirit (an animated and expressive face) - Similar to #2, this is about vigor and spirit.

4. aware of (is alive to the moods of others) - This means "aware" or "sensitive to" - doesn't fit here.

5. in operation (keep hope alive) - This is about keeping something active/functioning.

6. mentally perceptive and responsive (an alert mind) - This is about mental alertness.

7. capable of erupting (a live volcano) - Not relevant here.

The most appropriate sense is #1 - "possessing life" - because the woman is saying how great it is to simply exist, to be alive, to have life. This is the most basic meaning of alive.

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

Sentence: I <t>agreed</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=be in accord; be in agreement | examples=We agreed on the terms of the settlement
2. definition=consent or assent to a condition, or agree to do something | examples=She agreed to all my conditions
3. definition=be compatible, similar or consistent; coincide in their characteristics | examples=The two stories don't agree in many details
4. definition=go together | examples=The colors don't harmonize
5. definition=show grammatical agreement | examples=Subjects and verbs must always agree in English
6. definition=be agreeable or suitable | examples=White wine doesn't agree with me
7. definition=achieve harmony of opinion, feeling, or purpose | examples=No two of my colleagues would agree on whom to elect chairman

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "I agreed."

This is a very simple sentence where someone is saying they agreed. Let me think about which sense of "agree" this would be.

Looking at the senses:
1. Be in accord; be in agreement - "We agreed on the terms of the settlement" - This requires an object (on what)
2. Consent or assent to a condition, or agree to do something - "She agreed to all my conditions" - This requires an object (to what/something specific)
3. Be compatible, similar or consistent - "The two stories don't agree in many details" - This is about things being compatible
4. Go together - "The colors don't harmonize" - This is about compatibility
5. Show grammatical agreement - This is about grammar
6. Be agreeable or suitable - "White wine doesn't agree with me" - This requires an object (with what)
7. Achieve harmony of opinion, feeling, or purpose - "No two of my colleagues would agree on whom to elect chairman" - This is about coming to agreement on something

The sentence "I agreed" is just stating that the person agreed. It's the simplest form, where the speaker is assenting or concurring with what was previously said or implied. They're not agreeing "on" something specific or "to" do something specific - they're just saying they agreed.

This seems most aligned with sense 7 "achieve harmony of opinion, feeling, or purpose" - which is the general concept of coming to an agreement. Or it could be sense 2 where the agreement is implied but not stated.

Actually, "I agreed" without an object typically means the person is assenting or consenting to something that was proposed. This is most consistent with sense 2 "consent or assent to a condition, or agree to do something" - where the object is implied but not stated.

I think the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: U.N. <t>group</t> drafts plan to reduce emissions

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: "U.N. group drafts plan to reduce emissions"

The word "group" here refers to a collection of people/entities working together for the United Nations on a project related to emissions reduction.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" - This fits the sentence. A U.N. group would be multiple people/organizations considered as a single unit working together.

2. "(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule" - This is a chemistry/technical term, not applicable here since we're talking about a U.N. group working on emissions.

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 abstract algebra. Not applicable to the sentence about a U.N. group.

The correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: U.N. group drafts <t>plan</t> to reduce emissions

Senses:
1. definition=a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished | examples=they drew up a six-step plan
2. definition=an arrangement scheme | examples=the awkward design of the keyboard made operation difficult
3. definition=scale drawing of a structure | examples=the plans for City Hall were on file

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "U.N. group drafts plan to reduce emissions"

In this context, "plan" refers to a set of steps or goals to be accomplished. The U.N. group is creating a plan (a series of steps/goals) to reduce emissions.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished" - This matches perfectly. The plan is to reduce emissions, which is a goal to be accomplished.

2. "an arrangement scheme" - This could potentially fit but doesn't seem as precise. This seems more about the design or arrangement of something.

3. "scale drawing of a structure" - This is clearly about architectural/technical drawings, which doesn't fit the sentence at all.

The correct answer is sense 1.

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

Sentence: U.N. group drafts plan to reduce <t>emissions</t>

Senses:
1. definition=the act of emitting; causing to flow forth
2. definition=a substance that is emitted or released
3. definition=the release of electrons from parent atoms
4. definition=any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body | examples=the discharge of pus
5. definition=the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe)

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "U.N. group drafts plan to reduce emissions"

The UN is discussing plans to reduce emissions. In the context of environmental policy and climate change, "emissions" typically refers to gases or pollutants that are released into the atmosphere, particularly greenhouse gases like CO2.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the act of emitting; causing to flow forth" - This is the general act/process, not specifically what is being emitted.

2. "a substance that is emitted or released" - This fits! Emissions in the environmental context are substances (gases, pollutants) that are released into the environment.

3. "the release of electrons from parent atoms" - This is a physics term, not relevant here.

4. "any of several bodily processes by which substances go out of the body" - This is about bodily functions, not relevant.

5. "the occurrence of a flow of water (as from a pipe)" - This is about water flow, not relevant.

The correct sense is #2, as it describes substances that are emitted or released, which is exactly what environmental emissions are - substances (greenhouse gases, pollutants, etc.) released into the atmosphere.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored <t>climate</t> conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time | examples=the dank climate of southern Wales
2. definition=the prevailing psychological state | examples=the climate of opinion

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

The sentence reads: "The U.N.-sponsored <t>climate</t> conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term."

Let me look at the two senses:
1. The weather in some location averaged over some long period of time (example: the dank climate of southern Wales)
2. The prevailing psychological state (example: the climate of opinion)

In this sentence, "climate conference" is clearly referring to a conference about climate - meaning the weather and atmospheric conditions. The conference is discussing greenhouse-gas reductions, which is about environmental/weather-related matters. This is not about a psychological state or opinion.

Therefore, this is using sense 1 - the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time. The conference is about climate in the meteorological/environmental sense, not in the metaphorical psychological sense.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate <t>conference</t> -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)
2. definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members
3. definition=a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic

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

The sentence talks about: "The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document..."

This is describing a meeting about climate issues that is U.N.-sponsored. It involves discussions, releases of documents, and is characterized as having posturing and recriminations, which suggests there are deliberations happening.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)" - This fits the description. It's a meeting that's prearranged (U.N.-sponsored), it involves discussion and exchange of information (about climate and greenhouse-gas reductions), and it appears to have a formal agenda.

2. "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no mention of sports.

3. "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic" - This could partially fit since there is discussion among participants about a serious topic (climate), but it seems less specific than sense 1 which emphasizes the formal, prearranged meeting nature.

The most appropriate sense is 1, as it captures the formal, prearranged nature of the U.N.-sponsored climate meeting.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed <t>focus</t> Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=the concentration of attention or energy on something | examples=the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology
2. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system | examples=in focus
3. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea | examples=the controversy brought clearly into focus an important difference of opinion
4. definition=a central point or locus of an infection in an organism | examples=the focus of infection
5. definition=special emphasis attached to something | examples=the stress was more on accuracy than on speed
6. definition=a point of convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges
7. definition=a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section

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

"The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term."

The key phrase is "gained renewed focus Friday" - the conference gained renewed focus when the document was released. This means the conference attracted renewed attention and concentration on it with the release of the document.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the concentration of attention or energy on something" - with example "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology" - This fits perfectly. The conference "gained renewed focus" means attention and concentration on the conference was renewed/strengthened.

2. "maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system" - This is about optical clarity, doesn't fit.

3. "maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea" - This is about clarity of ideas, not about concentration of attention. Though related, this is more about clarity than about where attention is directed.

4. "a central point or locus of an infection" - Medical term, doesn't apply.

5. "special emphasis attached to something" - This could work, but the example "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed" suggests this is about emphasis/stress on priorities.

6. "a point of convergence of light or other radiation" - Physical/optical, doesn't apply.

7. "a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section" - Mathematical term, doesn't apply.

The best match is sense 1: "the concentration of attention or energy on something." The conference "gained renewed focus" means it gained renewed attention and concentration directed at it.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a <t>document</t> outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature)
2. definition=anything serving as a representation of a person's thinking by means of symbolic marks
3. definition=a written account of ownership or obligation
4. definition=(computer science) a computer file that contains text (and possibly formatting instructions) using seven-bit ASCII characters

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and each sense of "document":

Sentence context: "...gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years..."

The document here is something that:
- Was released at a U.N.-sponsored climate conference
- Outlines information (greenhouse-gas reductions)
- Provides official information about future plans

Let me check each sense:

1. "writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature)" - This fits perfectly. The document provides official information about greenhouse-gas reductions from an official U.N. conference.

2. "anything serving as a representation of a person's thinking by means of symbolic marks" - This is too vague and doesn't specifically capture the meaning here.

3. "a written account of ownership or obligation" - This is about legal documents related to ownership or obligations. The sentence is not about that.

4. "(computer science) a computer file that contains text (and possibly formatting instructions) using seven-bit ASCII characters" - While the document could be in a computer file, the sentence doesn't emphasize this technical aspect. It's just referring to a document of information.

Sense 1 is the best fit because it emphasizes that this is writing providing official information, which matches the context of a U.N.-sponsored climate conference releasing information about policy.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas <t>reductions</t> over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of decreasing or reducing something
2. definition=any process in which electrons are added to an atom or ion (as by removing oxygen or adding hydrogen); always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent
3. definition=the act of reducing complexity

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

The sentence is: "The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term."

In this context, "reductions" refers to decreasing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next 40 years. This is clearly about decreasing or reducing something (greenhouse gases).

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the act of decreasing or reducing something" - This fits perfectly. Greenhouse-gas reductions means making greenhouse gases smaller/less in amount.

2. "any process in which electrons are added to an atom or ion (as by removing oxygen or adding hydrogen); always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent" - This is a chemistry/oxidation-reduction reaction definition. This doesn't apply to the greenhouse gas context.

3. "the act of reducing complexity" - While reducing greenhouse gases could theoretically involve reducing complexity, this isn't the primary meaning here. The focus is on decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases, not simplifying something.

The correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 <t>years</t>, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

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

The sentence mentions "over the next 40 years" in the context of greenhouse-gas reductions.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" - This is the basic definition of a year as a unit of time.
2. "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" - This refers to specific periods like school year or fiscal year.
3. "the period of time that it takes for a planet to make a complete revolution around the sun" - This is an astronomical definition, essentially the same as sense 1 but from an astronomical perspective.
4. "a body of students who graduate together" - This refers to a class or group of students.

In the sentence "over the next 40 years," the word "years" refers to 40 consecutive periods of 365 (or 366) days each. This is the standard meaning of "year" as a unit of time.

Sense 1 is the correct answer because it refers to a year as a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days, which is what is meant when we say "the next 40 years."

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

Sentence: The U.N.-sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the <t>burden</t> in the near term.

Senses:
1. definition=an onerous or difficult concern | examples=the burden of responsibility
2. definition=weight to be borne or conveyed
3. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
4. definition=the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse

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

In the sentence, "burden" is used in the context of industrialized nations shouldering most of the "burden" in the near term when it comes to greenhouse-gas reductions.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "an onerous or difficult concern" | examples: "the burden of responsibility" - This means something that is hard or troublesome to deal with, a responsibility or obligation that is difficult to bear.

2. "weight to be borne or conveyed" - This is the literal/physical meaning of burden, as in something physical that needs to be carried.

3. "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work" - This refers to the main point or theme of written/spoken work.

4. "the central idea that is expanded in a document or discourse" - Similar to 3, this is about the main idea in writing/speech.

In the sentence, "industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term" refers to these nations having to take on most of the responsibility and the difficult/onerous task of reducing greenhouse gases. This is clearly sense 1 - "an onerous or difficult concern" - as it represents the difficult obligation that industrialized nations must bear.

The answer is 1.

Senses:
1. definition=a word or expression used for some particular thing | examples=he learned many medical terms
2. definition=a limited period of time | examples=a prison term
3. definition=(usually plural) a statement of what is required as part of an agreement | examples=the contract set out the conditions of the lease
4. definition=any distinct quantity contained in a polynomial | examples=the general term of an algebraic equation of the n-th degree
5. definition=one of the substantive phrases in a logical proposition | examples=the major term of a syllogism must occur twice
6. definition=the end of gestation or point at which birth is imminent | examples=a healthy baby born at full term
7. definition=(architecture) a statue or a human bust or an animal carved out of the top of a square pillar; originally used as a boundary marker in ancient Rome

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

The sentence: "...gained renewed focus Friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse-gas reductions over the next 40 years, with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term."

The phrase is "in the near term" which means "in the near future" or "over a limited period of time in the near future."

Let me check each definition:
1. A word or expression - No, that's not what's being used here
2. A limited period of time - Yes, this fits! "Near term" refers to a limited period of time in the near future
3. Conditions of an agreement - No, this isn't about contract conditions
4. A distinct quantity in a polynomial - No, this is mathematical
5. A substantive phrase in a logical proposition - No, this is logical/philosophical
6. The end of gestation - No, this is about pregnancy
7. An architectural structure - No, this is architectural

The answer is clearly sense 2: "a limited period of time"

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

Sentence: The <t>text</t>, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward.

Senses:
1. definition=the words of something written | examples=there were more than a thousand words of text
2. definition=a passage from the Bible that is used as the subject of a sermon | examples=the preacher chose a text from Psalms to introduce his sermon
3. definition=a book prepared for use in schools or colleges | examples=his economics textbook is in its tenth edition
4. definition=the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.) | examples=pictures made the text easier to understand

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

The sentence is: "The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward."

Let me look at the context:
- The text is something that could provide the basis for a political deal
- It highlights obstacles and illuminates a path forward
- This appears to be referring to a document that is being negotiated

Now let me examine each sense:

1. "the words of something written" - This is a general sense of text as written words/content
2. "a passage from the Bible that is used as the subject of a sermon" - This is specifically about biblical passages used in sermons. The sentence doesn't mention anything biblical or religious.
3. "a book prepared for use in schools or colleges" - This is about textbooks. The sentence doesn't mention a school or educational context.
4. "the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.)" - This refers to the main content of a document, excluding supporting materials.

The most likely answer is sense 1. The text here refers to the written words/content of a political document that is being negotiated. It's the content of something written (a political agreement or proposal).

Actually, looking more carefully, it could also be sense 4 - the main body of a written document. But sense 1 seems more general and fitting for this context - it's simply referring to the written content of a political document.

I'll go with sense 1.

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

Sentence: The text, which could provide the <t>basis</t> for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward.

Senses:
1. definition=a relation that provides the foundation for something | examples=they were on a friendly footing
2. definition=the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained | examples=the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture
3. definition=the most important or necessary part of something | examples=the basis of this drink is orange juice

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and each sense definition to determine which one is being used.

The sentence is: "The text, which could provide the <t>basis</t> for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases..."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a relation that provides the foundation for something" - This is about foundation/groundwork
2. "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained" - This is about fundamental assumptions or starting point
3. "the most important or necessary part of something" - This is about the essential component

In the sentence, "basis" means the foundational element or fundamental starting point from which a political deal could be developed. The text provides the foundational material/assumptions upon which a political deal could be built.

This most closely matches sense 2: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained" - because the text would provide the fundamental assumptions/foundation from which the political deal would be developed.

It could also somewhat fit sense 1 about "foundation" but sense 2 is more precise because it emphasizes the foundational starting point from which something develops, which is exactly how "basis" is being used here.

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 text, which could provide the basis for a final political <t>deal</t> to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward.

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
4. definition=a plank of softwood (fir or pine board)
5. definition=wood that is easy to saw (from conifers such as pine or fir)
6. definition=the cards held in a card game by a given player at any given time | examples=I didn't hold a good hand all evening
7. definition=the type of treatment received (especially as the result of an agreement) | examples=he got a good deal on his car
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 determine which sense of "deal" is being used:

"The text, which could provide the basis for a final political <t>deal</t> to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward."

In this context, "deal" refers to a political agreement or settlement regarding greenhouse gas regulation. This is clearly about an agreement between parties that has been or could be negotiated.

Let me check each definition:
1. "a particular instance of buying or selling" - No, this is not a commercial transaction
2. "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" - YES, this matches perfectly. It's a political agreement/settlement
3. "a large number or amount or extent" - No
4. "a plank of softwood" - No
5. "wood that is easy to saw" - No
6. "the cards held in a card game" - No
7. "the type of treatment received" - No, this is about a bargain/transaction, not treatment
8. "the act of distributing playing cards" - No
9. "the act of apportioning or distributing" - No

The correct answer is sense 2, which defines "deal" as "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each."

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

Sentence: The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining <t>obstacles</t> as much as it illuminated a path forward.

Senses:
1. definition=something immaterial that stands in the way and must be circumvented or surmounted | examples=lack of imagination is an obstacle to one's advancement
2. definition=an obstruction that stands in the way (and must be removed or surmounted or circumvented)

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

The sentence is: "The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining <t>obstacles</t> as much as it illuminated a path forward."

In this context, "obstacles" refers to things that stand in the way of reaching a political deal to regulate greenhouse gases.

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "something immaterial that stands in the way and must be circumvented or surmounted" - examples given include "lack of imagination is an obstacle to one's advancement" (this is immaterial/abstract)

2. "an obstruction that stands in the way (and must be removed or surmounted or circumvented)" - this seems more general and could refer to physical or abstract things

In the sentence, the "obstacles" are described as things that a text "highlighted" - these are immaterial/abstract things (like political disagreements, policy differences, etc.) that stand in the way of reaching a deal. The sentence contrasts these obstacles with "a path forward" - both are somewhat abstract concepts.

This matches sense 1 better, as it specifically refers to immaterial obstacles (like lack of understanding, disagreements, etc.) rather than physical obstructions.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a <t>path</t> forward.

Senses:
1. definition=a course of conduct | examples=the path of virtue
2. definition=a way especially designed for a particular use
3. definition=an established line of travel or access
4. definition=a line or route along which something travels or moves | examples=the hurricane demolished houses in its path

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

"The text, which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases, highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward."

In this context, "path" is being used metaphorically to refer to a course of action or direction toward a goal. The phrase "path forward" suggests a way of proceeding or a direction to move in the future.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a course of conduct" - examples: "the path of virtue" - This refers to a way of behaving or conducting oneself
2. "a way especially designed for a particular use" - This is a physical path designed for a specific purpose
3. "an established line of travel or access" - This is a physical route
4. "a line or route along which something travels or moves" - This is also physical, with the example of a hurricane

In the sentence, "path forward" is being used metaphorically to mean a direction or course of action for moving forward with political negotiations. This is most similar to sense 1, "a course of conduct," which also uses metaphorical/abstract language referring to a way of proceeding or behaving (as in "the path of virtue").

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: But it was seen as an important <t>advance</t> in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a movement forward | examples=he listened for the progress of the troops
2. definition=a change for the better; progress in development
3. definition=a tentative suggestion designed to elicit the reactions of others | examples=she rejected his advances
4. definition=the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)
5. definition=an amount paid before it is earned
6. definition=increase in price or value | examples=the news caused a general advance on the stock market

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But it was seen as an important <t>advance</t> in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week."

The context is about a negotiation. The word "advance" is used to describe something that is "an important [advance] in a negotiation."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a movement forward" - This is a physical movement, doesn't fit well for a negotiation context.

2. "a change for the better; progress in development" - This fits! In a negotiation context, "an important advance" would mean an important change for the better or progress in the negotiation.

3. "a tentative suggestion designed to elicit the reactions of others" - This doesn't fit. It doesn't say "advances" in the plural, and the context isn't about suggestions.

4. "the act of moving forward (as toward a goal)" - This is similar to sense 1, more physical movement. Could potentially fit metaphorically.

5. "an amount paid before it is earned" - This is a financial sense, doesn't fit the negotiation context.

6. "increase in price or value" - This is also financial, doesn't fit.

The most appropriate sense is #2 - "a change for the better; progress in development" because in the context of a negotiation, "an important advance" clearly means significant progress or improvement toward a resolution.

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

Sentence: But it was seen as an important advance in a <t>negotiation</t> that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a discussion intended to produce an agreement | examples=the buyout negotiation lasted several days
2. definition=the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms

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

The sentence is: "But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week."

Let me examine each sense:

Sense 1: "a discussion intended to produce an agreement" - This refers to the actual discussion/process of negotiating toward an agreement, suggesting a specific event or meeting.

Sense 2: "the activity or business of negotiating an agreement; coming to terms" - This is more general and refers to the overall process or activity of negotiation.

In the sentence, "a negotiation that is running out of time" appears to be referring to a specific ongoing negotiation process. The phrase "a negotiation" (singular) with "that is running out of time" suggests a particular discussion or process happening in Copenhagen (implied by the context of world leaders arriving there).

This fits better with Sense 1 - "a discussion intended to produce an agreement" - because it's referring to a specific discussion/negotiation event that is happening.

Sense 2 would be more about the general activity or business of negotiating, which is less specific.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of <t>time</t>, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | examples=this time he succeeded
2. definition=a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something | examples=take time to smell the roses
3. definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities) | examples=he waited a long time
4. definition=a suitable moment | examples=it is time to go
5. definition=the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
6. definition=a person's experience on a particular occasion | examples=he had a time holding back the tears
7. definition=a reading of a point in time as given by a clock | examples=do you know what time it is?
8. definition=the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
9. definition=rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
10. definition=the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned | examples=he served a prison term of 15 months

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of <t>time</t>, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next week."

The phrase "running out of time" means that time is becoming scarce - there isn't much time left. Let me look at each definition:

1. "an instance or single occasion for some event" - No, this is about a specific occurrence, not about scarcity.

2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - This fits! "Running out of time" means you have limited time as a resource to complete something (the negotiation). You're running short on the resource of time needed to accomplish the negotiation.

3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - This could partially fit, but it's more about duration, not about it being a resource.

4. "a suitable moment" - No, this is about the right time to do something.

5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - This is too philosophical and doesn't fit the context.

6. "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - No, this is about personal experience.

7. "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - No, this is about clock time.

8. "the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event" - This is too technical/scientific.

9. "rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration" - No, this is about rhythm/music.

10. "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - No, this is specifically about prison terms.

The best fit is sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." The negotiation is "running out of" this resource.

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

Sentence: But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world <t>leaders</t> arriving in Copenhagen next week.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who rules or guides or inspires others
2. definition=a featured article of merchandise sold at a loss in order to draw customers

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

The sentence is: "But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world <t>leaders</t> arriving in Copenhagen next week."

Let me look at the two senses:
1. "a person who rules or guides or inspires others"
2. "a featured article of merchandise sold at a loss in order to draw customers"

In the context of the sentence, "world leaders" refers to important political figures or heads of state/government who are arriving in Copenhagen for negotiations. These are people who rule, guide, or inspire others in their respective countries.

This clearly matches sense 1: "a person who rules or guides or inspires others"

Sense 2 is about retail/business terminology (loss leaders), which has nothing to do with this context about political negotiations and world leaders arriving for a meeting.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen 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 sentence and the senses of "week" provided.

Sentence: "But it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time, with more than 100 world leaders arriving in Copenhagen next <t>week</t>."

In this context, "next week" is being used to refer to a specific upcoming period of time when world leaders will arrive in Copenhagen. It's referring to the seven days that will occur after the current week, starting from now and extending forward.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "any period of seven consecutive days" - This is a general definition that could apply to any seven consecutive days. The phrase "next week" in the sentence refers to the upcoming seven consecutive days, so this fits.

2. "hours or days of work in a calendar week" - This is specifically about work hours or work days within a week. The sentence is not talking about work hours, but about when world leaders will arrive.

3. "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" - This refers to a specific calendar week structure that begins on Sunday. "Next week" could refer to this if we're thinking of the next Sunday-to-Saturday period.

Looking at the sentence, it's using "week" in a general sense to refer to an upcoming seven-day period when events will happen. It's not specifically about work hours (sense 2), and it's not necessarily tied to a specific calendar structure starting on Sunday (sense 3).

Actually, sense 1 ("any period of seven consecutive days") is the most general and most applicable here. The sentence uses "next week" to mean the upcoming seven consecutive days when world leaders will arrive.

So the answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the <t>text</t> is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term.

Senses:
1. definition=the words of something written | examples=there were more than a thousand words of text
2. definition=a passage from the Bible that is used as the subject of a sermon | examples=the preacher chose a text from Psalms to introduce his sermon
3. definition=a book prepared for use in schools or colleges | examples=his economics textbook is in its tenth edition
4. definition=the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.) | examples=pictures made the text easier to understand

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

"Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term."

In this context, "text" refers to a written document (likely an agreement or resolution) that was created by a U.N. working group. The text is described as being "silent on" (meaning it doesn't address) a particular issue about money for global warming.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "the words of something written" - This could fit, as the text is indeed something written and consists of words.

2. "a passage from the Bible used as the subject of a sermon" - This doesn't fit. There's no reference to the Bible or sermons.

3. "a book prepared for use in schools or colleges" - This doesn't fit. The text is a U.N. working group document, not a textbook.

4. "the main body of a written work (as distinct from illustrations or footnotes etc.)" - This could fit as well, referring to the substantive content of the document.

The most natural interpretation here is sense 1 - "the words of something written." The text refers to the actual written words/content of the U.N. agreement/document. While sense 4 could technically apply, sense 1 is the broader and more straightforward meaning that fits best in this context.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much <t>money</t> rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term.

Senses:
1. definition=the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender | examples=we tried to collect the money he owed us
2. definition=wealth reckoned in terms of money | examples=all his money is in real estate
3. definition=the official currency issued by a government or national bank | examples=he changed his money into francs

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the three senses of "money" provided.

Sentence: "Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term."

In this context, the sentence is discussing a transfer of funds from rich countries to poor countries. The word "money" refers to a quantity that would be given - this is about a financial resource or medium of exchange that can be transferred.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender" - This refers to money as a medium of exchange. The example is "we tried to collect the money he owed us" - money that is owed and can be exchanged/transferred.

2. "wealth reckoned in terms of money" - This refers to money as a measure of wealth/assets. The example is "all his money is in real estate" - this is about total wealth.

3. "the official currency issued by a government or national bank" - This refers to specific official currencies. The example is "he changed his money into francs" - specific currency types.

In the sentence, the phrase "how much money rich countries would give poor ones" is referring to a quantity of financial resources/funds that would be transferred. This is clearly sense 1 - money as a medium of exchange that functions as legal tender and can be transferred between parties.

It's not sense 2 (wealth) or sense 3 (official currency type).

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich <t>countries</t> would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term.

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: "Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich <t>countries</t> would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term."

The sentence is talking about "rich countries" and "poor ones" in the context of giving money to cope with global warming.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This could work, as countries are political entities. The context is about governments/nations making financial commitments.

2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This doesn't fit well because the sentence is about countries giving money, which implies political/governmental entities, not just territory.

3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This doesn't fit because the context is about money being given, which is a political/governmental action, not something the people themselves would do.

4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This doesn't fit at all. The sentence is about nations/political entities, not rural areas.

5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography)" - This doesn't fit because the context is specifically about political entities/nations making decisions about money.

The best fit is sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" because the sentence is referring to countries as political entities that would give or receive money - this is a governmental/political action.

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

Sentence: Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor <t>ones</t> to cope with global warming over the short and long term.

Senses:
1. definition=the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number | examples=he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it
2. definition=a single person or thing | examples=he is the best one

reasoning_content:
In the sentence, "rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming," the word "ones" is referring to "countries."

Let me think about what "ones" means here:
- It's replacing the noun "countries" that was already mentioned in the sentence
- It's not referring to the number 1 or numerals
- It's referring to a group of entities (countries) that were previously mentioned

Looking at the senses:
1. "the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number" - This is about the number one, like in the example "he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it"
2. "a single person or thing" - This is about using "one" as a pronoun to refer to a person or thing previously mentioned

In the sentence, "ones" is a pronoun standing in for "countries" (poor countries). This is sense 2 - it's referring to things/entities that were previously mentioned, using "one" as a substitute pronoun.

So the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Forged by a U.N. ad-hoc working group, the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long <t>term</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a word or expression used for some particular thing | examples=he learned many medical terms
2. definition=a limited period of time | examples=a prison term
3. definition=(usually plural) a statement of what is required as part of an agreement | examples=the contract set out the conditions of the lease
4. definition=any distinct quantity contained in a polynomial | examples=the general term of an algebraic equation of the n-th degree
5. definition=one of the substantive phrases in a logical proposition | examples=the major term of a syllogism must occur twice
6. definition=the end of gestation or point at which birth is imminent | examples=a healthy baby born at full term
7. definition=(architecture) a statue or a human bust or an animal carved out of the top of a square pillar; originally used as a boundary marker in ancient Rome

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

"...to cope with global warming over the short and long <t>term</t>."

The sentence is talking about a time period - "short and long term" refers to short-term and long-term periods of time. This is clearly referring to a duration or period of time.

Looking at the senses:
1. A word or expression - No, not about that
2. A limited period of time - Yes! "short and long term" means short and long periods of time
3. Terms of an agreement - No, not about conditions
4. Quantity in a polynomial - No, this is math
5. Phrases in a logical proposition - No, not about logic
6. End of gestation/birth - No, not about pregnancy
7. Architectural statue - No, not about architecture

The correct answer is sense 2, which defines "term" as "a limited period of time" with examples like "a prison term." In the context of the sentence, "short and long term" clearly means short and long periods/durations of time.

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

Sentence: And it provides a <t>range</t> of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate.

Senses:
1. definition=an area in which something acts or operates or has power or control: | examples=the range of a supersonic jet
2. definition=the limits within which something can be effective | examples=range of motion
3. definition=a large tract of grassy open land on which livestock can graze | examples=they used to drive the cattle across the open range every spring
4. definition=a series of hills or mountains | examples=the valley was between two ranges of hills
5. definition=a place for shooting (firing or driving) projectiles of various kinds | examples=the army maintains a missile range in the desert
6. definition=a variety of different things or activities | examples=he answered a range of questions
7. definition=(mathematics) the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is defined | examples=the image of f(x) = x^2 is the set of all non-negative real numbers if the domain of the function is the set of all real numbers
8. definition=the limit of capability | examples=within the compass of education
9. definition=a kitchen appliance used for cooking food | examples=dinner was already on the stove

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

"And it provides a range of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate."

The sentence is talking about providing "a range of options" - this means there are multiple different options available, a variety of choices. The phrase "range of options" is listing different choices.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. "an area in which something acts or operates or has power or control" - not this one
2. "the limits within which something can be effective" - not this one
3. "a large tract of grassy open land on which livestock can graze" - not this one
4. "a series of hills or mountains" - not this one
5. "a place for shooting projectiles of various kinds" - not this one
6. "a variety of different things or activities" - THIS ONE. "he answered a range of questions" is exactly the same pattern as "provides a range of options"
7. "the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is defined" - not this one
8. "the limit of capability" - not this one
9. "a kitchen appliance used for cooking food" - not this one

The answer is 6.

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

Sentence: And it provides a range of <t>options</t> for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate.

Senses:
1. definition=the right to buy or sell property at an agreed price; the right is purchased and if it is not exercised by a stated date the money is forfeited
2. definition=one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen | examples=what option did I have?
3. definition=the act of choosing or selecting | examples=your choice of colors was unfortunate

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

The sentence is: "And it provides a range of options for the key questions, including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output, and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "the right to buy or sell property at an agreed price" - This is a financial/legal term related to contracts and derivatives. The sentence doesn't use "options" in this financial sense.

2. "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen" - This fits well. The sentence says "provides a range of options" for key questions. These are different choices or possibilities that can be selected from regarding how to address climate issues.

3. "the act of choosing or selecting" - This would be about the act of choosing itself, not the things being chosen. The sentence is about the things/choices available, not about the act of choosing.

The correct sense is #2 - "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen." The sentence is saying that there are multiple possible approaches or solutions (options) available for addressing the key questions about carbon output and temperature limits.
