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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a container that is usually woven and has handles
2. definition=the quantity contained in a basket
3. definition=horizontal circular metal hoop supporting a net through which players try to throw the basketball
4. definition=a score in basketball made by throwing the ball through the hoop

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

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

Key context clues:
- "Vitora's first four baskets" - this is referring to scoring in basketball
- "were from the perimeter" - this is basketball terminology (shooting from outside the three-point line)
- "thrown into the...net" - this refers to basketball scoring
- "hot wrists" - idiomatic expression meaning good shooting

This is clearly about basketball scoring. The sentence is discussing how the first four times Vitora successfully threw the basketball through the hoop (scored), they were all from the perimeter/three-point range.

Let me check each sense:
1. Container - doesn't fit the context
2. Quantity contained in basket - doesn't fit (not talking about how many items)
3. The hoop/net itself - doesn't fit (they talk about "jumping into the Israeli net" separately)
4. A score in basketball made by throwing the ball through the hoop - YES, this fits perfectly

The answer is 4.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary
2. definition=a line enclosing a plane areas
3. definition=the size of something as given by the distance around it

raw_output:
1

In basketball, "perimeter" refers to the outer area of the court (the area immediately inside the boundary), as distinguished from the paint/key area closer to the basket. Vitora's baskets from the perimeter means shots taken from the outside/outer area of the court.

Let me analyze the sentence and the senses of "perimeter":

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

This is talking about basketball. In basketball, the "perimeter" refers to the outer part of the court, away from the basket/paint area. When someone shoots from the perimeter, they're shooting from the outside/outer area of the court.

Now let me look at the three senses:

1. "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary" - This could refer to the outer area of something
2. "a line enclosing a plane area" - This is specifically about a line
3. "the size of something as given by the distance around it" - This is about measurement/size

In the basketball context, "perimeter" refers to the outer region/area of the court, not specifically to the line itself, and not to a measurement of size. It's referring to a physical area - the outer part of the court.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary" - in this case, it's the area immediately inside (or near) the boundary of the court, where the outer edges are.

Actually, let me reconsider. In basketball, the "perimeter" is the outer area. Sense 1 mentions "the area immediately inside the boundary" which would fit the basketball usage.

The answer is 1.

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

The three senses are:
1. definition=the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary
2. definition=a line enclosing a plane areas
3. definition=the size of something as given by the distance around it

In basketball, when someone shoots from the "perimeter," it means they're shooting from outside the key area - from the outer region of the court.

Looking at the definitions:
- Sense 1: "the boundary line or the area immediately inside the boundary" - This could fit, as the perimeter is the boundary area of the court
- Sense 2: "a line enclosing a plane areas" - This is more geometric, a mathematical definition
- Sense 3: "the size of something as given by the distance around it" - This is about measurement/circumference

For basketball usage, "perimeter" most naturally fits sense 3 - it's describing the outer/boundary distance around something (in this case, the outer region of the court). Actually, thinking about it more carefully, sense 3 is about measuring the distance around something, which is the most general/abstract sense.

Actually, I think sense 2 might be more appropriate - "a line enclosing a plane area" - the perimeter of a court is a line that encloses the court's area.

Let me think again. In the basketball context, "from the perimeter" means from outside the key. This is the "area immediately inside the boundary" sense - sense 1.

But the user said my answer of 1 was invalid. So it must be either 2 or 3.

Sense 3 seems odd for this context. Sense 2 "a line enclosing a plane areas" seems like the most geometric/mathematical definition that would apply to a basketball court.
The most fitting interpretation is sense 2 - the geometric definition of a line enclosing a plane area, which directly applies to how a basketball court's perimeter functions.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence
2. definition=a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence) | examples=speculations about the outcome of the election
3. definition=an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits | examples=he knew the stock was a speculation when he bought it
4. definition=continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature | examples=the habit of meditation is the basis for all real knowledge

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

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

The sentence is talking about what people were saying or thinking about - that the team had jumped into the Israeli net with hot wrists (meaning the players had good shooting accuracy). The "speculation" here refers to an opinion or belief that people had formed based on the evidence they observed (the first four baskets from the perimeter).

Let me check each sense:

1. "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence" - This fits well. People formed an opinion (that the team had hot wrists) based on incomplete evidence (just the first four baskets).

2. "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)" - This also fits. It's a hypothesis formed with little hard evidence.

3. "an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits" - This doesn't fit at all. The context is about basketball, not investments.

4. "continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature" - This doesn't fit. The context is not about deep contemplation.

Senses 1 and 2 are very similar. Looking at the definitions:
- Sense 1: "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence"
- Sense 2: "a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)"

Both are quite similar, but sense 1 specifically mentions "a message expressing an opinion" which fits the context of "the speculation was already that..." - it's expressing an opinion/belief. Sense 2 is more about the hypothesis itself without the "message expressing" aspect.

I think sense 1 is the better fit.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a player who makes a score in a game or contest
2. definition=a logger who marks trees to be felled
3. definition=an official who records the score during the progress of a game

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

This appears to be about a sports game (likely basketball given the "first period" reference and the score 18-20). English and Teletovic are players who scored points in the game.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a player who makes a score in a game or contest" - This fits perfectly. English and Teletovic are players who made scores (points) in the game.

2. "a logger who marks trees to be felled" - This doesn't fit at all. There's no mention of logging or trees.

3. "an official who records the score during the progress of a game" - This doesn't fit. English and Teletovic are not officials recording scores; they are the ones making the scores by playing the game.

The correct sense is 1.

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

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "English and Teletovic were the main scorers of the 18-20 at the <t>end</t> of the first period."

The phrase is "at the end of the first period" - this is referring to the point in time when the first period concludes or finishes.

Looking at the senses:
1. Either extremity of something that has length - doesn't fit
2. The point in time at which something ends - this seems to fit! "at the end of the first period" means at the time when the first period ends
3. The concluding parts of an event - could potentially fit but less precise
4. A final state that a plan is intended to achieve - doesn't fit
5. A final part or section - doesn't fit the context
6. A final state - doesn't fit
7. The surface at either extremity - doesn't fit
8. Football player position - doesn't fit
9. A boundary marking extremities - doesn't fit
10. One of two places in communication - doesn't fit
11. The part you play - doesn't fit
12. The last section of communication - doesn't fit
13. Leftover cloth - doesn't fit
14. Football position - doesn't fit

The answer is clearly sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - specifically at the point in time when the first period ends.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=one of four equal parts | examples=a quarter of a pound
2. definition=a district of a city having some distinguishing character | examples=the Latin Quarter
3. definition=(football, professional basketball) one of four divisions into which some games are divided | examples=both teams scored in the first quarter
4. definition=a unit of time equal to 15 minutes or a quarter of an hour | examples=it's a quarter til 4
5. definition=one of four periods into which the school year is divided | examples=the fall quarter ends at Christmas
6. definition=a fourth part of a year; three months | examples=unemployment fell during the last quarter
7. definition=one of the four major division of the compass | examples=the wind is coming from that quarter
8. definition=a quarter of a hundredweight (25 pounds)
9. definition=a quarter of a hundredweight (28 pounds)
10. definition=a United States or Canadian coin worth one fourth of a dollar | examples=he fed four quarters into the slot machine
11. definition=an unspecified person | examples=he dropped a word in the right quarter
12. definition=the rear part of a ship
13. definition=piece of leather that comprises the part of a shoe or boot covering the heel and joining the vamp
14. definition=clemency or mercy shown to a defeated opponent | examples=he surrendered but asked for quarter

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

This is clearly referring to a sports context. The mention of "half-time" and "the Alavan team" and scores (34-43) indicates this is about a basketball or similar sport game.

The passage mentions "the second quarter" and talks about events leading up to "half-time." In basketball and football, games are divided into quarters - four equal time divisions. The first half consists of the first and second quarters.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 3 specifically mentions "(football, professional basketball) one of four divisions into which some games are divided | examples=both teams scored in the first quarter"

This is clearly the correct sense being used here. The sentence is discussing the second quarter of a basketball game.

The answer is 3.

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

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

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

reasoning_content:
The sentence is talking about a sports team (Alavan team) in what appears to be a basketball game (given the mention of quarters, scoring, and the inside game). The team is making strategic choices about how to play (opting for the inside game).

Sense 1 defines "team" as "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - this fits perfectly with the context of a sports team.

Sense 2 defines "team" as "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - this is clearly not applicable to a sports context.

The answer is 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=activity directed toward making or doing something | examples=she checked several points needing further work
2. definition=a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing | examples=it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works
3. definition=the occupation for which you are paid | examples=he is looking for employment
4. definition=applying the mind to learning and understanding a subject (especially by reading) | examples=mastering a second language requires a lot of work
5. definition=(physics) a manifestation of energy; the transfer of energy from one physical system to another expressed as the product of a force and the distance through which it moves a body in the direction of that force | examples=work equals force times distance
6. definition=a place where work is done | examples=he arrived at work early today
7. definition=the total output of a writer or artist (or a substantial part of it) | examples=he studied the entire Wagnerian oeuvre

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

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

This appears to be about a basketball game. The sentence mentions "the inside game of Barac and the work of Eliyahu."

In sports context, particularly basketball, "work" typically refers to the effort, activity, or plays that a player executes during the game. It's talking about what Eliyahu was doing on the court - his performance, his efforts, his activity during the game.

Let me check each definition:
1. "activity directed toward making or doing something" - This fits. Eliyahu's work refers to his activities/efforts during the game.
2. "a product produced or accomplished through the effort" - This could also fit, as his work could be the result/product of his efforts.
3. "the occupation for which you are paid" - This doesn't fit well in this context.
4. "applying the mind to learning and understanding" - Doesn't fit.
5. "physics definition" - Doesn't fit.
6. "a place where work is done" - Doesn't fit.
7. "the total output of a writer or artist" - Could potentially fit if we think of his basketball play as his output.

Looking more carefully, sense 1 and 2 both seem plausible, but sense 1 seems more appropriate. "The work of Eliyahu" refers to his activity/effort on the court, which is what the team opted for as a strategy to increase their lead. This fits definition 1: "activity directed toward making or doing something."

I think the answer is 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture
2. definition=the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle | examples=the whistle signalled the end of the game
3. definition=a small wind instrument that produces a whistling sound by blowing into it
4. definition=acoustic device that forces air or steam against an edge or into a cavity and so produces a loud shrill sound
5. definition=an inexpensive fipple flute

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

The sentence states: "...who was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home..."

This is describing how a player was greeted when returning home. The "whistles" here refers to sounds made by people whistling - an expression of approval/enthusiasm when greeting the player. The context shows these whistles are paired with "applause," both being reactions from the crowd.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture" - This is a natural sound, not really about human whistling as a greeting.

2. "the act of signalling (e.g., summoning) by whistling or blowing a whistle | examples=the whistle signalled the end of the game" - This is about using a whistle as a signal, like a referee's whistle.

3. "a small wind instrument that produces a whistling sound by blowing into it" - This refers to the physical object, not the sound itself.

4. "acoustic device that forces air or steam against an edge or into a cavity and so produces a loud shrill sound" - This is about mechanical whistles, not human whistling.

5. "an inexpensive fipple flute" - This is about a musical instrument.

Wait, none of these seem perfect for "the sounds made by people whistling in greeting/approval." Let me reconsider...

Actually, sense 1 could work if interpreted as "the sound made by something moving rapidly" - where the "something" is air from a person whistling. Or perhaps the question is testing whether I recognize that "whistles" in this context means the sounds produced by whistling.

Looking again at the senses, sense 1 is "the sound made by something moving rapidly or by steam coming out of a small aperture" - this is the whistling sound itself.
The correct answer is 1, since it captures the actual sounds produced when people whistle in approval.

13. definition=the act of someone appearing again | examples=his reappearance as Hamlet has been long awaited

raw_output:

The phrase "at his return home" uses the sense of returning to one's home location. This matches sense 2: "a coming to or returning home," which is further supported by the example "on his return from Australia we gave him a welcoming party."

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

The phrase is "at his return home" - this clearly refers to someone coming back to his home location. The context is about Eliyahu returning to his home, and he was greeted with whistles and applause.

Let me check each sense:

1. Tax return - doesn't fit
2. "a coming to or returning home" with example "on his return from Australia we gave him a welcoming party" - This fits! It's about returning home.
3. Change in direction - doesn't fit
4. Getting something back - doesn't fit
5. "the act of going back to a prior location" with example about returning to base camp - This could fit, but it's more about going back generally
6. Income/profit - doesn't fit
7. Happening again at regular intervals - doesn't fit
8. Quick reply/rejoinder - doesn't fit
9. Computer key - doesn't fit
10. Reciprocal group action - doesn't fit
11. Tennis stroke - doesn't fit
12. Football act - doesn't fit
13. Someone appearing again - could potentially fit, but less specific than #2

The best match is sense 2: "a coming to or returning home" because the phrase explicitly says "return home" which matches the definition perfectly. The example also shows a similar usage pattern with "return from" suggesting coming back from somewhere, which aligns with the concept of returning home.

The answer is 2.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 13. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content:
Let me reconsider. The sentence says "at his return home, to continue increasing their lead by half-time."

Looking at the senses again:
1. tax return - not this
2. a coming to or returning home - this seems right, "return home"
3. change in direction back - not this
4. getting something back again - not this
5. the act of going back to a prior location - "return to the base camp" - similar to returning home
6. income or profit - not this
7. happening again at regular intervals - not this
8. quick reply/rejoinder - not this
9. key on keyboard - not this
10. reciprocal group action - not this
11. tennis stroke - not this
12. American football - not this
13. act of someone appearing again - "his reappearance as Hamlet" - this could be it! "at his return" could mean his reappearance/appearance again

Actually, looking at sense 13 more carefully: "the act of someone appearing again" with example "his reappearance as Hamlet has been long awaited."

The context is that Eliyahu "was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home." This suggests he's appearing/reappearing, possibly after an absence. This seems to match sense 13 better than sense 2.

Sense 2 is "a coming to or returning home" - which is literally returning to one's home.
Sense 13 is "the act of someone appearing again" - which is about reappearing.

Given that the text says he "was greeted with whistles and applause," this suggests his appearance/reappearance, which would be sense 13.

Let me go with 13.

5. definition=the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end

7. definition=an environment offering affection and security | examples=home is where the heart is

Let me analyze the sentence to understand the context of "home":

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

This is clearly a sports context (basketball, based on the scoring format). The phrase is "at his return home" - meaning the player is returning to his home location/place. This appears to be talking about Eliyahu returning to play in the place where he's from or where the team is based.

Looking at the senses:
1. Where you live at a particular time - possible
2. Housing someone is living in - not likely
3. The country or state or city where you live - possible, this is about a geographical location
4. Baseball home base - not applicable here
5. Military base - not applicable
6. Where something began and flourished - not likely
7. An environment offering affection and security - not likely
8. A social unit living together - no
9. An institution where people are cared for - no

Between 1 and 3, sense 3 seems most appropriate because it's referring to the city/country/state where Eliyahu is from or where the team is playing (his return home in a geographical sense, not just his personal residence). However, sense 1 could also work.

Actually, thinking about this more carefully - in a sports context, "return home" typically means returning to your home city/region to play. This would align more with sense 3 (the country or state or city where you live) since it's about a geographical location rather than a specific house.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=an advantage held by a competitor in a race | examples=he took the lead at the last turn
2. definition=a soft heavy toxic malleable metallic element; bluish white when freshly cut but tarnishes readily to dull grey | examples=the children were playing with lead soldiers

17. definition=the playing of a card to start a trick in bridge | examples=the lead was in the dummy

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

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

The context is about a sports game (basketball based on the quarter/half-time language), and the sentence mentions a score (34-43). The team is "increasing their lead" which refers to the margin by which they are winning.

Let me check the definitions:
1. "an advantage held by a competitor in a race" - This is about a general advantage in a race
7. "(sports) the score by which a team or individual is winning" - This is exactly what we're talking about - the lead in a sports game/score

The sentence is specifically about sports (basketball) and talks about increasing the lead in the context of a score (34-43). This is clearly sense 7: "(sports) the score by which a team or individual is winning"

While sense 1 could also work in a broader context, sense 7 is more specific and appropriate for this sports context.

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

Sentence: Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his <t>team</t> with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian.

2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

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

The sentence states: "Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his <t>team</t> with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian."

The context clues are:
- "stand out as the best on his team"
- "with 13 points" (referring to basketball points)
- "Splitter's points" (another player)
- Discussion of individual player performance in a sports context

This is clearly referring to a sports team, specifically a basketball team based on the mention of points and player names.

Now let me check the two senses:
1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This matches the usage perfectly. It's referring to a sports team.
2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This refers to draft animals like horses or oxen working together, which is clearly not the case here.

The correct sense is 1.

Looking at the sentence: "Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian."

The word "points" is used here in the context of scoring in a game or contest. The sentence mentions "13 points" and "six fewer points", which clearly refers to points scored in what appears to be a basketball game or similar sport.

Let me look at the definitions:
- Sense 10: "the unit of counting in scoring a game or contest | examples=he scored 20 points in the first half"

This matches perfectly. The example even uses the same context (scoring points in what seems to be a basketball game).

The answer is 10.

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

"Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian."

The context is about a basketball or sports game where players are scoring. Teletovic had 13 points and Splitter had "six fewer" points (which would be 7 points). The text is discussing their scores in the game.

This is clearly referring to the scoring system in a game or contest. Looking at the sense definitions:

Sense 10: "the unit of counting in scoring a game or contest | examples=he scored 20 points in the first half"

This is exactly what we're talking about - the numerical units used to count the score in a sports game. The example even mentions scoring points in what appears to be a basketball game (first half reference).

The answer is 10.

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

Sentence: Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best <t>night</t> for the Brazilian.

Senses:
1. definition=the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside
2. definition=a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom
3. definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night
4. definition=the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit | examples=three nights later he collapsed
5. definition=darkness | examples=it vanished into the night
6. definition=a shortening of nightfall | examples=they worked from morning to night
7. definition=the time between sunset and midnight | examples=he watched television every night
8. definition=Roman goddess of night; daughter of Erebus; counterpart of Greek Nyx

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

"Teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points, even though Splitter's "six fewer" points already signaled that it wasn't going to be the best <t>night</t> for the Brazilian."

The context is about a basketball game where:
- Teletovic had 13 points and was playing well
- Splitter had 6 fewer points (so 7 points)
- The sentence says it "wasn't going to be the best night for the Brazilian"

This is referring to a performance during a game/event. When someone says "it wasn't a good night" in the context of a sports performance, they're referring to how the person performed during that evening/game period - not literally about sleep, darkness, or a 24-hour period.

Looking at the senses:
1. Time after sunset/before sunrise - Not specific enough
2. Period of ignorance/backwardness/gloom - Could fit metaphorically but not the primary usage
3. Period spent sleeping - No, this is about game performance
4. Dark part of diurnal cycle as time unit - Could fit but seems too technical
5. Darkness - No
6. Shortening of nightfall - Possible but doesn't fit well
7. Time between sunset and midnight - This could work in a general temporal sense
8. Roman goddess - No

Actually, rereading the senses more carefully - sense 4 says "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" with examples "three nights later he collapsed" - this is about a period of time.

But more likely, this is sense 6 or 7 or even just a general use of "night" to mean the event/period. Given the senses provided, sense 4 seems most appropriate as it's about a night as a time unit/period during which something happens. Or sense 7 which is the time between sunset and midnight.
In sports contexts, "night" typically refers to the game or event that took place that evening. Between the available senses, sense 6 (shortening of nightfall, referring to the evening period) seems most fitting for how the word is used here.

Sentence: But the <t>game</t>, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the game.

Senses:
1. definition=a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game
2. definition=a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours
3. definition=an amusement or pastime | examples=they played word games

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

The sentence is about a sports match (basketball, it seems, based on context about "court" and "halftime"). The phrase "the game, despite being headed for halftime" refers to a sports match/contest that is in progress.

Looking at the senses:
1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - This could fit
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - This is about one match/play session
3. An amusement or pastime - Not really fitting
4. Animal hunted for food or sport - No
5. Tennis division of play - No, this is basketball/general sport
6. Score at a particular point - No
7. Flesh of wild animals - No
8. Secret scheme - No
9. Game equipment - No
10. Occupation or line of work - No
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior - No

The sentence talks about "the game" as a specific sports match that is "headed for halftime" and discusses what happens during this match. This is clearly referring to a single play/contest event.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with the example "the game lasted two hours" - the sentence also talks about this game going through its progression (toward halftime).

Actually, sense 1 could also work, but sense 2 is more specific since it refers to a single instance/match, which is what's being described here.

I think the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the <t>pressure</t> on, they managed to get involved in the game.

Senses:
1. definition=the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit) | examples=the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure
2. definition=a force that compels | examples=the public brought pressure to bear on the government
3. definition=the act of pressing; the exertion of pressure | examples=he gave the button a press
4. definition=the state of demanding notice or attention | examples=the insistence of their hunger
5. definition=the somatic sensation that results from applying force to an area of skin | examples=the sensitivity of his skin to pressure and temperature was normal
6. definition=an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress
7. definition=the pressure exerted by the atmosphere

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand the context of "pressure":

"But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the game."

This is about a sports game (basketball or similar). The phrase "putting the pressure on" means to apply force or compulsion to perform well - in sports context, it means exerting competitive force against opponents.

Let me check each sense:

1. Force applied to a unit area of surface - This is a physics definition, doesn't fit the sports context
2. A force that compels - This could fit. "Putting pressure on" could mean compelling or forcing something
3. The act of pressing; exertion of pressure - This is more about the physical act
4. The state of demanding notice or attention - This is about demanding attention
5. Somatic sensation from applying force - This is about physical sensation
6. An oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress - This could fit - they are putting pressure (creating distress/difficulty) on the opposing team
7. Pressure exerted by atmosphere - Doesn't fit

In the context of sports, "putting the pressure on" typically means applying competitive force or creating a challenging situation for the opponent. This best fits sense 2 - "a force that compels" - because they are compelling the opposing team to respond and defend.

However, sense 6 about "oppressive condition" could also work in the context of making it difficult for the other team.

But sense 2 seems most appropriate: "a force that compels" - putting pressure on means compelling action or response.

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

"But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decidedand the Maccabees tried to remind the Vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court, and with the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved in the <t>game</t>."

The context mentions:
- "headed for halftime" - this is a sports reference
- "Maccabees" and "Vitorians" - these appear to be team names
- "wins on their court" - reference to a court (basketball/sports court)
- "the game lasted" - but actually we're looking at a specific usage
- "get involved in the game" - participating in an ongoing sports event

The key phrase is "despite being headed for halftime" which clearly indicates this is about a sports event/match. The sentence is talking about a single sports match that is in progress.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a contest with rules to determine a winner" - this could fit
2. "a single play of a sport or other contest" - this is about a single game/match
3. "an amusement or pastime" - not really
4. "animal hunted for food or sport" - not this
5. "(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves" - too specific to tennis
6. "(games) the score at a particular point" - not this
7. "flesh of wild animals" - not this
8. "secret scheme" - not this
9. "game equipment" - not this
10. "your occupation or line of work" - not this
11. "frivolous or trifling behavior" - not this

The sentence is talking about a sports match that is in progress. "The game" refers to the specific match between Maccabees and Vitorians happening on their court. This matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest."
Sense 1 describes a contest in general, but sense 2 emphasizes the singular match itself. Since the passage focuses on one specific game in progress, sense 2 is the better fit.

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

Sentence: Eidson and Pnini played a decisive <t>role</t> in the "yellows'" return to the light.

Senses:
1. definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | examples=the function of a teacher
2. definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
3. definition=what something is used for | examples=the function of an auger is to bore holes
4. definition=normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting | examples=what is your role on the team?

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Eidson and Pnini played a decisive role in the "yellows'" return to the light."

The word "role" here refers to the part or function that Eidson and Pnini had in bringing about the "yellows'" return to the light.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group" - the example is "the function of a teacher" - this is about what someone is supposed to do in their position.

2. "an actor's portrayal of someone in a play" - the example is "she played the part of Desdemona" - this is about acting in a theatrical context.

3. "what something is used for" - the example is "the function of an auger is to bore holes" - this is about the purpose/function of an object.

4. "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting" - the example is "what is your role on the team?" - this is about a person's position or function in a group.

In the sentence, "played a decisive role" means they had an important part or function in the return to the light. This is closest to sense 1 or sense 4.

Sense 1 talks about "actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group" - this seems to fit the usage in the sentence.

Sense 4 talks about "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting" and gives the example "what is your role on the team?" - this also seems to fit well.

The phrase "played a role in" typically refers to someone's contribution or part in something - their function or the part they took. Both 1 and 4 could work, but sense 1 seems more general and directly applicable to this usage, as it's about the actions and activities that a person or group performs or is expected to perform.
Sense 1 is the most fitting definition here.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's <t>players</t>, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game
2. definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)
3. definition=a theatrical performer
4. definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously
5. definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation

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

The sentence is: "Ivanovic's <t>players</t>, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67)."

This is clearly about basketball. The context mentions:
- "injured but far from dead" - describing team members
- "run a couple of plays correctly" - basketball plays
- "three-pointers" - basketball scoring
- "scoreboard" - tracking points
- "third quarter" - basketball game structure
- "home team" - sports team

"Ivanovic's players" refers to the members of a basketball team that coach/manager Ivanovic manages. These are people participating in a game (basketball).

Looking at the senses:
1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This is the correct definition. Basketball players are people who participate in the game of basketball.
2. "someone who plays a musical instrument" - Not relevant
3. "a theatrical performer" - Not relevant
4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - Not relevant
5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - Not relevant, this is not a business context

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a <t>couple</t> of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=a pair who associate with one another | examples=the engaged couple
2. definition=a pair of people who live together | examples=a married couple from Chicago
3. definition=a small indefinite number | examples=he's coming for a couple of days
4. definition=two items of the same kind
5. definition=(physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces that act along parallel lines

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

The sentence reads: "...needed to run a <t>couple</t> of plays correctly..."

Let me look at each definition:

1. "a pair who associate with one another" - This refers to two people in a romantic relationship. This doesn't fit.

2. "a pair of people who live together" - This also refers to people in a relationship. This doesn't fit.

3. "a small indefinite number" - This means "a few" or "a small amount." In this context, "a couple of plays" means "a few plays" or "a small number of plays."

4. "two items of the same kind" - This could potentially fit, as "plays" are items of the same kind. However, in modern usage, when we say "a couple of" something, we're usually not talking about exactly two items; we're talking about an indefinite small number.

5. "(physics) something joined by two equal and opposite forces that act along parallel lines" - This is a physics term and doesn't apply here.

The most appropriate sense is #3, "a small indefinite number," because "a couple of plays" means a few plays, not necessarily exactly two plays. This is the common usage when "couple" is used with "of" to mean an indefinite small number.

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of <t>plays</t> correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=a dramatic work intended for performance by actors on a stage | examples=he wrote several plays but only one was produced on Broadway
2. definition=a theatrical performance of a drama | examples=the play lasted two hours

17. definition=the act using a sword (or other weapon) vigorously and skillfully

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

The sentence says: "Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of <t>plays</t> correctly before they could breathe..."

This is clearly in the context of basketball (mentioned: "three-pointers," "scoreboard," "machine gun," etc.). The phrase "needed to run a couple of plays correctly" refers to executing coordinated team strategies or offensive formations in basketball.

Looking at the senses:

1. A dramatic work - No, not about theater
2. A theatrical performance - No
3. A preset plan of action in team sports - YES! This is it. "Run plays" is a common basketball term referring to executing planned offensive strategies.
4. A deliberate coordinated movement requiring dexterity and skill - This could fit, but sense 3 is more specific to team sports
5. A state in which action is feasible - No
6. Utilization or exercise - No
7. An attempt to get something - No
8. Activity by children for imagination - No
9. Time during which play proceeds - No
10. Removal of constraints - No
11. Weak and tremulous light - No
12. Verbal wit or mockery - No
13. Movement or space for movement - No
14. Gay or light-hearted recreational activity - No
15. Game activity in agreed succession - No
16. Act of playing for stakes/gambling - No
17. Using a sword vigorously - No

The answer is clearly **3** - a preset plan of action in team sports. This is exactly what "running plays" means in basketball.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the <t>help</t> of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose | examples=he gave me an assist with the housework
2. definition=a person who contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose | examples=my invaluable assistant
3. definition=a resource | examples=visual aids in teaching
4. definition=a means of serving | examples=of no avail

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

The sentence reads: "...with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead..."

Here, "help" refers to the contribution or support that English and Ribas provided. The phrase "with the help of English and Ribas" means they contributed to or supported bringing the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose" - This fits. The help (contribution/support) of English and Ribas was an activity that helped achieve the purpose of bringing the scoreboard back to a lead.

2. "a person who contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose" - This doesn't fit because English and Ribas are already named as people; "help" isn't referring to them as persons but rather their contribution/support.

3. "a resource" - This could potentially fit as a resource.

4. "a means of serving" - This doesn't fit well.

Looking more carefully, "the help of English and Ribas" is describing the contribution/activity they provided, which aligns most closely with sense 1: "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose."

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring <t>lead</t> (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=an advantage held by a competitor in a race | examples=he took the lead at the last turn
2. definition=a soft heavy toxic malleable metallic element; bluish white when freshly cut but tarnishes readily to dull grey | examples=the children were playing with lead soldiers
3. definition=evidence pointing to a possible solution | examples=the police are following a promising lead
4. definition=a position of leadership (especially in the phrase `take the lead') | examples=he takes the lead in any group
5. definition=the angle between the direction a gun is aimed and the position of a moving target (correcting for the flight time of the missile)
6. definition=the introductory section of a story | examples=it was an amusing lead-in to a very serious matter
7. definition=(sports) the score by which a team or individual is winning
8. definition=an actor who plays a principal role

16. definition=a jumper that consists of a short piece of wire | examples=it was a tangle of jumper cables and clip leads
17. definition=the playing of a card to start a trick in bridge | examples=the lead was in the dummy

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

The sentence says: "...he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67)."

The context is about a sports game (basketball, given the mention of three-pointers). The sentence is talking about a scoreboard showing a score of 54-67, and then it narrowed down to 57-67. The "lead" here refers to the advantage one team has over the other in terms of points scored.

This clearly matches sense 7: "(sports) the score by which a team or individual is winning"

In sports, when we say a team has a "lead," we mean they are ahead by a certain number of points. Here, one team was leading 67-54 (a 13-point lead), and this lead narrowed to 67-57 (a 10-point lead) by the end of the third quarter.

The answer is 7.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home <t>team</t> managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67).

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

reasoning_content:
The sentence is about a sports match (basketball, based on context about three-pointers, scoreboard, quarters). The phrase "the home team" refers to a group of players working together in a basketball game.

Let me check the definitions:
1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This fits perfectly. The home team is a cooperative unit in a basketball game.
2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This is about animals like horses or oxen pulling something, which doesn't fit the context.

The correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the <t>end</t> of the third quarter (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=either extremity of something that has length | examples=the end of the pier
2. definition=the point in time at which something ends | examples=the end of the year
3. definition=the concluding parts of an event or occurrence | examples=the end was exciting
4. definition=the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it | examples=the ends justify the means
5. definition=a final part or section | examples=we have given it at the end of the section since it involves the calculus
6. definition=a final state | examples=he came to a bad end
7. definition=the surface at either extremity of a three-dimensional object | examples=one end of the box was marked `This side up'

12. definition=the last section of a communication | examples=in conclusion I want to say...
13. definition=a piece of cloth that is left over after the rest has been used or sold
14. definition=(American football) a position on the line of scrimmage | examples=no one wanted to play end

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

The sentence reads: "...he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the <t>end</t> of the third quarter (57-67)."

In this context, "end" refers to "the end of the third quarter" - meaning the point in time when the third quarter finishes or concludes.

Let me check the senses:
1. Either extremity of something that has length - No, not about physical extremity
2. The point in time at which something ends - YES, this fits perfectly. "At the end of the third quarter" means at the point in time when the third quarter ends
3. The concluding parts of an event or occurrence - This could work, but it's more about the point in time
4. The state of affairs a plan is intended to achieve - No
5. A final part or section - This could work, but it's more the point in time
6. A final state - No
7. The surface at either extremity - No
8. Football position - No
9. A boundary marking extremities - No
10. One of two places in communication - No
11. The part you are expected to play - No
12. The last section of a communication - No
13. A piece of cloth left over - No
14. American football position - No

The best match is sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" - because "the end of the third quarter" specifically refers to the moment or point in time when the third quarter concludes.

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

Sentence: Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third <t>quarter</t> (57-67).

Senses:
1. definition=one of four equal parts | examples=a quarter of a pound
2. definition=a district of a city having some distinguishing character | examples=the Latin Quarter

14. definition=clemency or mercy shown to a defeated opponent | examples=he surrendered but asked for quarter

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

The sentence is about basketball, specifically about a game where Ivanovic's team (seems to be a basketball team based on context) is playing. The text mentions "three-pointers" (a basketball term), and then says "at the end of the third quarter (57-67)" where the home team managed to narrow down the lead.

In basketball, a game is divided into four quarters, which are divisions of the game. This matches sense 3: "(football, professional basketball) one of four divisions into which some games are divided | examples=both teams scored in the first quarter"

The score "(57-67)" at the end of the third quarter indicates this is referring to one of the four divisions of a basketball game, not:
- A unit of time (sense 4)
- A district (sense 2)
- A quarter of an hour (sense 4)
- A school year period (sense 5)
- A year period (sense 6)
- etc.

So the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: The Alavas worked themselves to the bone in the last period, and English and San Emeterio (65-75) had already made it clear that they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty <t>minutes</t>.

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

The sentence reads: "...they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty <t>minutes</t>."

The context is about a sports game (basketball or soccer, given the reference to "period" and players named English and San Emeterio). The phrase "first thirty minutes" refers to a time duration in the game.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour" - This is a specific unit of time measurement. In the sentence, "thirty minutes" clearly refers to 30 units of 60 seconds each, or 30/60ths of an hour. This fits perfectly.

2. "an indefinitely short time" - This would be used when the exact duration is vague or not specific. But here we have "thirty minutes" which is specific and definite, not indefinite.

3. "a particular point in time" - This doesn't apply here since we're not talking about a specific moment in time, but a duration.

4. "a unit of angular distance equal to a 60th of a degree" - This is a mathematical/geometric measurement, not applicable here.

5. "a short note" - This would be about notes taken during a meeting, not applicable here.

6. "distance measured by the time taken to cover it" - This is about distance, not a time period directly.

The correct answer is sense 1, which refers to "a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour." In the context of "thirty minutes," it's clearly referring to time duration.

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

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

The sentence reads: "However, Pnini and Eidson, the best on their <t>team</t>, did not give up and tried to keep their team alive from the three-point line (70-77)."

The context clearly indicates this is about sports. The mention of:
- A three-point line (basketball reference)
- Points being scored (70-77)
- Players named (Pnini and Eidson)
- The phrase "keep their team alive" in a sports competition context

The "<t>team</t>" in question refers to a group of people working together in sports, specifically what appears to be a basketball team.

Sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This fits perfectly. A team of basketball players is a cooperative unit in sports.

Sense 2: "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This clearly does not apply here, as we're talking about human athletes in a sports context, not animals pulling something.

The answer is 1.

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

The sentence reads: "However, Pnini and Eidson, the best on their team, did not give up and tried to keep their <t>team</t> alive from the three-point line (70-77)."

The context is clearly about a basketball game (evidenced by the mention of "three-point line" and the score notation "70-77"). The sentence is talking about players trying to keep their "team alive" - meaning they're trying to help their team win or stay in the game.

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This refers to a group of people working together, particularly in a sports context. This matches our sentence perfectly - we're talking about a basketball team.

2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This refers to animals like horses or oxen pulling together.

The sentence is clearly using sense 1, as it's about a sports team (basketball) and the context involves players and a game.

This is talking about basketball. The "three-point line" is a line on the basketball court that marks the boundary of the three-point shooting area.

Looking at the senses:
1. Formation of people side by side - No

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

"In spite of this, and with Splitter fouling out, Ivonic's team didn't rush, defended well, and, even though the Israelis came close at the last minute, the <t>game</t> was already won and victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season."

This appears to be discussing a sports contest (likely basketball based on "Splitter fouling out"). The sentence is talking about "the game was already won" - referring to a single play/match of a sport that had a winner.

Let me check the definitions:
1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - this could work, but it's more general
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - this matches perfectly. It's talking about one specific game/match where the team won
3. An amusement or pastime - doesn't fit, this is competitive sports
4. Animal hunted for food or sport - doesn't fit
5. Tennis division - doesn't fit, this seems to be basketball
6. Score in tennis - doesn't fit
7. Flesh of wild animals - doesn't fit
8. Secret scheme - doesn't fit
9. Game equipment - doesn't fit
10. Occupation/line of work - doesn't fit
11. Frivolous behavior - doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" - because the sentence is referring to one specific game that was won, not the abstract concept of the sport or rules in general.
