1. definition=act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression | examples=This book deals with incest
2. definition=take into consideration for exemplifying purposes | examples=Take the case of China
3. definition=take action with respect to (someone or something) | examples=How are we going to deal with this problem?
4. definition=come to terms with | examples=We got by on just a gallon of gas
5. definition=administer or bestow, as in small portions | examples=administer critical remarks to everyone present
6. definition=do business; offer for sale as for one's livelihood | examples=She deals in gold
7. definition=be in charge of, act on, or dispose of | examples=I can deal with this crew of workers

9. definition=distribute cards to the players in a game | examples=Who's dealing?
10. definition=direct the course of; manage or control | examples=You cannot conduct business like this
11. definition=give out as one's portion or share
12. definition=give (a specific card) to a player | examples=He dealt me the Queen of Spades
13. definition=sell | examples=deal hashish

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical challenge."

The word "dealt" here is used in the context of a conference that addressed or concerned itself with a critical challenge.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression" - example: "This book deals with incest" - This seems to match! A book that "deals with" a topic means it addresses/discusses that topic. A conference that "dealt with" a challenge would mean it addressed or discussed that challenge.

2. "take into consideration for exemplifying purposes" - This doesn't fit well.

3. "take action with respect to (someone or something)" - example: "How are we going to deal with this problem?" - This could work, but it's more about handling/managing a problem actively.

4. "come to terms with" - doesn't fit.

5. "administer or bestow" - doesn't fit.

6. "do business; offer for sale" - doesn't fit.

7. "be in charge of, act on, or dispose of" - This could work.

8. "behave in a certain way towards others" - doesn't fit.

9. "distribute cards" - doesn't fit.

10. "direct the course of; manage or control" - could fit.

11. "give out as one's portion or share" - doesn't fit.

12. "give (a specific card) to a player" - doesn't fit.

13. "sell" - doesn't fit.

Looking at sense 1 and the example "This book deals with incest" - this is the closest match. A conference "dealt with" a challenge means the conference addressed/discussed/concerned itself with that challenge, just like a book that "deals with" a topic means it addresses that topic.

The answer is 1.

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

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

Sentence: "The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical challenge."

Let me examine each sense:

1. "marked by a tendency to find and call attention to errors and flaws" - This would mean the challenge has a tendency to find errors and flaws. Not appropriate.

2. "at or of a point at which a property or phenomenon suffers an abrupt change" - This is a technical/scientific sense about temperature, chain reactions, etc. The challenge doesn't fit this meaning.

3. "characterized by careful evaluation and judgment" - This would mean the challenge is careful and judicious. Not the right fit.

4. "urgently needed; absolutely necessary" - This could work. A critical challenge would be a challenge that is urgently needed to be addressed or absolutely necessary to deal with.

5. "forming or having the nature of a turning point or crisis" - This suggests the challenge is a turning point or crisis situation. This could work too.

6. "being in or verging on a state of crisis or emergency" - This means the situation itself is in crisis or emergency. This could work.

The context is that a conference was organized to deal with "this critical challenge." The use of "critical" here suggests the challenge is severe, important, and urgent - something that requires immediate attention and is of crucial importance.

Sense 4 (urgently needed; absolutely necessary) and Sense 6 (being in or verging on a state of crisis or emergency) are the strongest candidates.

Actually, Sense 6 seems most appropriate - describing a challenge as being in or verging on a state of crisis or emergency captures the severity of a "critical challenge."

But Sense 4 could also work - a critical challenge is one that is absolutely necessary to address.

Looking at the example for Sense 6: "a critical shortage of food" - this is very similar structure and meaning to "a critical challenge." A critical shortage means it's in an emergency state.
Sense 6 best captures what's happening here—the challenge is presented as something in or approaching a crisis state, much like how "critical shortage" describes an emergency situation.

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

Sentence: The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical <t>challenge</t>.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical <t>challenge</t>."

In this context, "challenge" refers to a difficult or demanding situation/problem that the conference was organized to address or deal with. The challenge is described as "critical," which suggests it's an important, demanding issue.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "a demanding or stimulating situation" - This fits perfectly. The conference was organized to deal with a critical (demanding/important) challenge/situation.

2. "a call to engage in a contest or fight" - This doesn't fit. There's no mention of challenging someone to a contest or fight.

3. "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation" - This doesn't fit. It's not about questioning or demanding explanation for a statement.

4. "a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror" - This is clearly not applicable.

5. "a demand by a sentry for a password or identification" - This is clearly not applicable.

The correct sense is #1 - "a demanding or stimulating situation" - which is the most general and common use of "challenge" to refer to a difficult problem or issue that needs to be addressed.

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

Sentence: Over 100 <t>participants</t> from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who takes part in an activity
2. definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game

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

The sentence reads: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. definition=someone who takes part in an activity
2. definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game

In the sentence, "participants" refers to people who attended and debated issues at what appears to be some kind of meeting or forum about public authorities, social partners, and related topics. These people are taking part in an activity (attending and debating), but there's no indication that this is related to a game.

Sense 1 clearly fits: "someone who takes part in an activity" - they are participating in an activity of attending and debating.

Sense 2 is about participation in games, which is not relevant here.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the <t>main</t> interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=most important element | examples=the chief aim of living
2. definition=(of a clause) capable of standing syntactically alone as a complete sentence | examples=the main (or independent) clause in a complex sentence has at least a subject and a verb
3. definition=of force; of the greatest possible intensity | examples=by main strength

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Over 100 participants from the <t>main</t> interest groups attended and debated issues..."

The word "main" is being used to describe "interest groups". We need to determine which sense of "main" is being used here.

Let's look at each sense:

1. "most important element" - This would mean the "main interest groups" are the most important interest groups. This seems to fit - when we say "main interest groups," we're referring to the principal or most important interest groups.

2. "(of a clause) capable of standing syntactically alone as a complete sentence" - This is a grammatical definition about clauses. It doesn't apply here since "main" is being used as an adjective to modify "interest groups," not describing a grammatical clause.

3. "of force; of the greatest possible intensity" - This would mean "main interest groups" = "interest groups of force; of greatest possible intensity." This doesn't fit the usage here.

The correct answer is sense 1 - "main" here means "most important element" when describing the interest groups.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups <t>attended</t> and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=be present at (meetings, church services, university), etc. | examples=She attends class regularly
2. definition=take charge of or deal with | examples=Could you see about lunch?
3. definition=to accompany as a circumstance or follow as a result | examples=Menuhin's playing was attended by a 15-minute standing ovation
4. definition=work for or be a servant to | examples=May I serve you?
5. definition=give heed (to) | examples=The children in the audience attended the recital quietly

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

The sentence is: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups <t>attended</t> and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

The word "attended" is used here to mean that 100 participants were present at some event (likely a meeting or conference). They "attended and debated issues" - so they were present and participated in debating.

Let me check each sense:

1. "be present at (meetings, church services, university), etc." - Example: "She attends class regularly" - This fits perfectly. The participants attended (were present at) an event where they debated issues.

2. "take charge of or deal with" - This doesn't fit the context.

3. "to accompany as a circumstance or follow as a result" - This doesn't fit.

4. "work for or be a servant to" - This doesn't fit.

5. "give heed (to)" - While "attend to" can mean "give heed to," in this sentence "attended" is not used in that way - it's not "attended to" issues, it's "attended" (as a location/event).

The correct answer is sense 1 - the participants were present at (an event/meeting) and debated issues.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and <t>debated</t> issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=argue with one another | examples=We debated the question of abortion
2. definition=think about carefully; weigh | examples=They considered the possibility of a strike
3. definition=discuss the pros and cons of an issue
4. definition=have an argument about something

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

Sentence: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "argue with one another" - This suggests a contentious back-and-forth argument
2. "think about carefully; weigh" - This is more about careful consideration
3. "discuss the pros and cons of an issue" - This suggests examining different viewpoints of an issue
4. "have an argument about something" - This is similar to sense 1, implying disagreement

In the sentence, the participants "debated issues" - they discussed various issues related to roles of key actors. This seems to be describing a discussion where multiple perspectives and considerations are being examined.

Sense 3 ("discuss the pros and cons of an issue") seems most appropriate because:
- Multiple participants from different groups attended, suggesting different perspectives would be discussed
- They're discussing complex issues about roles of various actors
- The context suggests a forum where different viewpoints would be presented and discussed

Sense 1 could also work, but it emphasizes "arguing" which might be too strong.
Sense 2 is about individual thinking/weighing, not really about discussion
Sense 4 is about "having an argument" which again emphasizes conflict

I think sense 3 is the best fit.

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated <t>issues</t> such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled | examples=the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone
2. definition=one of a series published periodically | examples=she found an old issue of the magazine in her dentist's waiting room
3. definition=some situation or event that is thought about | examples=he kept drifting off the topic
4. definition=the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity) | examples=a new issue of stamps
5. definition=supplies (as food or clothing or ammunition) issued by the government
6. definition=the income or profit arising from such transactions as the sale of land or other property | examples=the average return was about 5%
7. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
8. definition=the immediate descendants of a person | examples=she was the mother of many offspring
9. definition=the becoming visible | examples=not a day's difference between the emergence of the andrenas and the opening of the willow catkins
10. definition=an opening that permits escape or release | examples=he blocked the way out
11. definition=the act of issuing printed materials

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and match it to the correct sense of "issue."

The sentence is: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated <t>issues</t> such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

In this context, "issues" refers to important questions or topics that are being debated. The participants are debating matters like the role of key actors - these are questions/topics that need discussion and resolution.

Let me check each sense:

1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - This matches! The participants are debating important questions about the role of key actors.

2. "one of a series published periodically" - No, we're not talking about magazines or publications.

3. "some situation or event that is thought about" - This is too vague and not the right fit.

4. "the act of providing an item for general use" - No, not about distribution.

5. "supplies issued by government" - No.

6. "income or profit arising from transactions" - No.

7. "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" - No.

8. "immediate descendants" - No.

9. "the becoming visible" - No.

10. "an opening that permits escape" - No.

11. "the act of issuing printed materials" - No.

The correct answer is sense 1, which defines "issue" as "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled."

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key <t>actors</t> including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=a theatrical performer
2. definition=a person who acts and gets things done | examples=he's a principal actor in this affair

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

The sentence reads: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key <t>actors</t> including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a theatrical performer" - This refers to someone who performs in plays, films, etc.

2. "a person who acts and gets things done" - This refers to someone who takes action or is involved/influential in something.

In this context, the sentence is discussing "key actors" which includes "public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users." These are not theatrical performers - they are entities that take action and are involved in issues being debated. This is clearly about people/groups who act and are involved in getting things done or being involved in matters.

So the correct sense is 2.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public <t>authorities</t>, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=the power or right to give orders or make decisions | examples=he has the authority to issue warrants
2. definition=(usually plural) persons who exercise (administrative) control over others | examples=the authorities have issued a curfew
3. definition=an expert whose views are taken as definitive | examples=he is an authority on corporate law
4. definition=freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities | examples=his assurance in his superiority did not make him popular
5. definition=an administrative unit of government | examples=the Central Intelligence Agency
6. definition=official permission or approval | examples=authority for the program was renewed several times
7. definition=an authoritative written work | examples=this book is the final authority on the life of Milton

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

The sentence is: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public <t>authorities</t>, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

The word "authorities" here is plural and refers to "public authorities" as one of the key actors in the debate. Looking at the context:
- It's talking about "key actors"
- It mentions "public authorities" alongside "social partners, voluntary and community organisations" and "service users"
- These are all entities/organizations involved in some process or system

Let me check each sense:

1. "the power or right to give orders or make decisions" - This refers to power/right, not to entities/persons
2. "(usually plural) persons who exercise (administrative) control over others" - This fits! Public authorities are persons/entities that exercise administrative control. The example "the authorities have issued a curfew" also shows plural usage.
3. "an expert whose views are taken as definitive" - This doesn't fit; these aren't experts in the traditional sense
4. "freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities" - This clearly doesn't fit
5. "an administrative unit of government" - This could potentially fit, but sense 2 seems more direct
6. "official permission or approval" - Doesn't fit
7. "an authoritative written work" - Doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 2 because:
- It's plural ("authorities")
- It refers to entities that exercise administrative/governmental control
- The context of "public authorities" alongside other organizations fits with the definition of "persons who exercise (administrative) control over others"
- The example given ("the authorities have issued a curfew") is very similar in structure and meaning

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, <t>social</t> partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to human society and its members | examples=social institutions
2. definition=living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups | examples=a human being is a social animal
3. definition=relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society | examples=made fun of her being so social and high-toned
4. definition=composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability | examples=a purely social club
5. definition=tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind | examples=ants are social insects
6. definition=marked by friendly companionship with others | examples=a social cup of coffee

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

"Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

In this context, "social partners" refers to organizations or groups that are involved in social dialogue and cooperation, typically including employer organizations, trade unions, and other civil society organizations. This is a term commonly used in policy discussions and governance contexts.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "relating to human society and its members" - This could fit, as social partners are part of society and its institutions
2. "living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups" - This could fit as well
3. "relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society" - This doesn't fit the context
4. "composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability" - This doesn't fit
5. "tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind" - This doesn't fit
6. "marked by friendly companionship with others" - This doesn't fit

The most appropriate sense is sense 1: "relating to human society and its members" because "social partners" refers to organizations and groups that are part of society and its institutions involved in social dialogue and governance. This is about the societal/institutional dimension rather than about individual sociability or companionship.

Actually, sense 2 could also work - "living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups" - as social partners are organized groups. But sense 1 seems more directly applicable as it's about "relating to human society and its members" in an institutional/organizational context.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, <t>voluntary</t> and community organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=of your own free will or design; done by choice; not forced or compelled | examples=man is a voluntary agent
2. definition=controlled by individual volition | examples=voluntary motions

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

The sentence reads: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

In this context, "voluntary" is used as an adjective modifying "organisations" (or "voluntary and community organisations"). It's referring to organizations that are voluntary in nature - meaning organizations that are based on voluntary participation, voluntary work, or voluntary association of people.

Now let's look at the two senses provided:

1. "of your own free will or design; done by choice; not forced or compelled" - This is talking about something being done by one's own choice, without being forced. The example "man is a voluntary agent" suggests an agent that acts by choice.

2. "controlled by individual volition" - This is about being controlled by individual will/choice.

In the sentence, "voluntary organisations" refers to organizations that are staffed by or based on volunteers - organizations that operate through voluntary participation. This is closer to sense 1 - the idea that participation is by choice, not forced or compelled.

Actually, looking more carefully, "voluntary organisations" is a standard term in British English referring to non-profit organizations that are typically staffed by volunteers or have voluntary components. The sense being used here aligns with sense 1 - "of your own free will or design; done by choice; not forced or compelled" because these are organizations where participation is by choice.

The answer should be 1.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and <t>community</t> organisations as well as service users.

Senses:
1. definition=a group of people living in a particular local area | examples=the team is drawn from all parts of the community
2. definition=common ownership | examples=they shared a community of possessions
3. definition=a group of nations having common interests | examples=they hoped to join the NATO community
4. definition=agreement as to goals | examples=the preachers and the bootleggers found they had a community of interests
5. definition=a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences
6. definition=(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms inhabiting the same region and interacting with each other

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

"Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

In this context, "community organisations" refers to organizations that serve a local area or community of people. Let me look at each definition:

1. "a group of people living in a particular local area" - This is the most likely sense. "Community organisations" are organizations that work with and for people in a particular local area.

2. "common ownership" - Doesn't fit

3. "a group of nations having common interests" - Doesn't fit

4. "agreement as to goals" - Doesn't fit, though there is a "community of interests" phrase

5. "a district where people live; occupied primarily by private residences" - This is similar to #1 but more specific about residential areas

6. "(ecology) a group of interdependent organisms" - Doesn't fit

The phrase "community organisations" most clearly refers to organizations that serve a local community of people (sense 1). These are organizations working at the grassroots level in a particular area.

The answer is 1.

7. definition=the act of forming or establishing something | examples=the constitution of a PTA group last year

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

Sentence: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community <t>organisations</t> as well as service users."

In this context, "organisations" refers to entities/groups that are mentioned alongside "public authorities," "social partners," and "service users." These are clearly institutional bodies or groups of people that work together for common purposes.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" - This fits! An organisation in this sense is a body of people administering something.

2. "a group of people who work together" - This also fits well! Voluntary and community organisations are groups of people working together.

3. "an organized structure for arranging or classifying" - This doesn't fit. It's about arranging topics, not about entities.

4. "an ordered manner; orderliness by virtue of being methodical and well organized" - This is about the quality of being organized, not about entities/groups.

5. "the act of organizing a business or an activity related to a business" - This is about the process/act, not about the entities themselves.

6. "the activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly or methodically" - This is about the process, not the entities.

7. "the act of forming or establishing something" - This is about the process of creating, not the entities themselves.

Between sense 1 and 2, both seem to fit. However, sense 2 "a group of people who work together" seems most straightforward and commonly used for referring to organisations as distinct entities. Sense 1 is more about the administrative body specifically.
When discussing "voluntary and community organisations" in this passage, sense 2 emerges as the clearest interpretation—these are fundamentally groups of people collaborating toward shared goals rather than abstract administrative structures.

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as <t>service</t> users.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as <t>service</t> users."

In this context, "service users" refers to people who use services. The word "service" here is describing a category of people - those who use services provided by public authorities, organizations, etc.

Looking at the definitions:
1. work done by one person or group that benefits another - "budget separately for goods and services" - This is about the actual services being provided
2. an act of help or assistance - not quite right
3. the act of public worship - not relevant
4. a company or agency that performs a public service - not quite
5. employment in or work for another - not this
6. a force that is a branch of the armed forces - no
7. Canadian writer - no
8. a means of serving - "of no avail" - odd example
9. tableware - no
10. mating by male animals - no
11. feudal law - no
12. sports stroke - no
13. legal act - no
14. maintenance on a car - no
15. performance of duties by a waiter or servant - no

The most appropriate sense is #1 - "work done by one person or group that benefits another". In "service users," the word "service" is being used as a noun to refer to the work/help/assistance that organizations provide, and "service users" are the people who benefit from or use those services.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 with the example "budget separately for goods and services" seems to fit best. In the sentence, "service users" are people who use services (the work done by one group that benefits another).

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

Sentence: Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service <t>users</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something
2. definition=a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically
3. definition=a person who takes drugs

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

The sentence: "Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users."

The phrase is "service users" - this refers to people who use or receive services. In this context, they are discussing various actors/stakeholders in what appears to be a policy or service provision discussion. "Service users" refers to people who make use of or receive services (like healthcare, social services, etc.).

Looking at the three senses:
1. "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - This fits perfectly. Service users are people who make use of/receive services.
2. "a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically" - This doesn't fit. There's no negative connotation implied.
3. "a person who takes drugs" - This doesn't fit at all in this context.

The correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few <t>cases</t> reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded
3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy | examples=the family brought suit against the landlord
4. definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case
5. definition=a portable container for carrying several objects | examples=the musicians left their instrument cases backstage
6. definition=a person requiring professional services | examples=a typical case was the suburban housewife described by a marriage counselor
7. definition=a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures; someone who is an object of investigation | examples=the subjects for this investigation were selected randomly
8. definition=a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir
9. definition=a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument | examples=he stated his case clearly

18. definition=(printing) the receptacle in which a compositor has his type, which is divided into compartments for the different letters, spaces, or numbers | examples=for English, a compositor will ordinarily have two such cases, the upper case containing the capitals and the lower case containing the small letters
19. definition=bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow | examples=the burglar carried his loot in a pillowcase
20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few <t>cases</t> reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

In this context, "cases" refers to occurrences or instances of something - specifically, instances of "attempts to involve users in service planning."

Let me check each sense:

1. "an occurrence of something" - "it was a case of bad judgment" - This seems to fit! "Few cases reported of attempts" = "few occurrences/instances of attempts"

2. "a special set of circumstances" - This could work but it's not the best fit

3. "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law" - No, this is clearly not about legal proceedings

4. "the actual state of things" - No, this doesn't fit

5. "a portable container" - No, clearly not about containers

6. "a person requiring professional services" - No, not about people

7. "a person who is subjected to experimental procedures" - No, not about people being studied

8. "a problem requiring investigation" - No, not about a problem to solve

9. "a statement of facts and reasons" - No, not about an argument

10. "the quantity contained in a case" - No

11. "nouns or pronouns or adjectives related in some way" - No, this is a grammatical term

12. "a specific state of mind that is temporary" - No

13. "a person of a specified kind" - No

14. "a specific size and style of type" - No, not about typography

15. "an enveloping structure" - No

16. "the housing or outer covering of something" - No

17. "the enclosing frame around a door or window" - No
18. "the receptacle in which a compositor has his type" - No

19. "bed linen for a pillow" - No

20. "a glass container used to store and display items" - No

The first definition clearly fits best—"cases" here means instances or occurrences of attempts to involve users in service planning. The remaining senses all relate to containers, legal proceedings, or grammatical concepts that don't apply to this context.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases <t>reported</t> of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=to give an account or representation of in words | examples=Discreet Italian police described it in a manner typically continental
2. definition=announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding | examples=Dozens of incidents of wife beatings are reported daily in this city
3. definition=announce one's presence | examples=I report to work every day at 9 o'clock
4. definition=make known to the authorities | examples=One student reported the other to the principal
5. definition=be responsible for reporting the details of, as in journalism | examples=Snow reported on China in the 1950's
6. definition=complain about; make a charge against | examples=I reported her to the supervisor

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few cases <t>reported</t> of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The word "reported" here is being used in a passive construction. Let me break down what it means:

- "cases reported" = cases that were reported
- The sentence is saying that there were few cases of attempts to involve users that were "reported"

Now let me look at each sense:

1. "give an account or representation of in words" - This is about describing something in words. The example shows describing something in a particular manner.

2. "announce as the result of investigation or experience or finding" - This is about announcing something that has been discovered or found. The example mentions "incidents of wife beatings are reported daily" - meaning these incidents are announced/made known.

3. "announce one's presence" - This is about showing up and announcing you're there (like reporting to work).

4. "make known to the authorities" - This is about informing authorities. The example shows reporting someone to the principal.

5. "be responsible for reporting details in journalism" - This is about journalistic reporting.

6. "complain about; make a charge against" - This is about making a complaint.

In the sentence, "cases reported" means cases that were announced or made known. The sentence is saying that few cases of attempts to involve users in service planning were announced/reported. This is closest to sense 2: "announce as the result of investigation or experience or finding" - because it's about cases being announced or made known, likely as a result of investigation or finding.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 could also work - "give an account or representation of in words" - the cases were reported/described.

But sense 2 seems more precise: "announce as the result of investigation or experience or finding" - the cases of attempts were reported/announced.

I think sense 2 is the best fit.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of <t>attempts</t> to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something | examples=made an effort to cover all the reading material
2. definition=the act of attacking | examples=attacks on women increased last year

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the two senses provided.

The sentence is: "There were relatively few cases reported of <t>attempts</t> to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

Let me break down what "attempts" means here:
- "attempts to involve users in service planning" = efforts/tries to involve users in service planning
- This is talking about trying to accomplish something (involving users in service planning)

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" | examples: "made an effort to cover all the reading material"
   - This fits! "attempts to involve users" is an earnest activity intended to accomplish the goal of involving users in service planning
   - This is synonymous with "effort" or "try"

2. "the act of attacking" | examples: "attacks on women increased last year"
   - This doesn't fit at all. The sentence has nothing to do with attacking or assault.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

2. definition=engage as a participant | examples=Don't involve me in your family affairs!
3. definition=have as a necessary feature | examples=This decision involves many changes
4. definition=require as useful, just, or proper | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did
5. definition=contain as a part | examples=Dinner at Joe's always involves at least six courses
6. definition=occupy or engage the interest of | examples=His story completely involved me during the entire afternoon
7. definition=make complex or intricate or complicated | examples=The situation was rather involved

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The key phrase is "attempts to involve users in service planning."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "connect closely and often incriminatingly" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about incriminating anyone.

2. "engage as a participant" - This fits well. The sentence is about involving (engaging) users as participants in service planning.

3. "have as a necessary feature" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't saying that service planning has users as a necessary feature.

4. "require as useful, just, or proper" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. "contain as a part" - This doesn't fit the main meaning here.

6. "occupy or engage the interest of" - This is about engaging someone's interest. While it could partially fit, this seems more about captivating someone's attention rather than including them as participants.

7. "make complex or intricate or complicated" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't saying the planning becomes complicated.

The best fit is sense 2: "engage as a participant" - The sentence is about attempts to engage users as participants in service planning.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve <t>users</t> in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something
2. definition=a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically
3. definition=a person who takes drugs

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

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve <t>users</t> in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

In this context, the sentence is discussing attempts to involve "users" in service planning and their involvement in service provision. This appears to be a formal/organizational context discussing participation in services.

The word "users" here refers to people who use or make use of a service (in this case, a service - possibly a healthcare, social service, or similar service). This matches sense 1: "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - specifically, people who use or employ the service being discussed.

Sense 2 (selfish or unethical use) doesn't fit the context.
Sense 3 (drug users) doesn't fit the context.

The answer is 1.

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

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The context is about "service planning" and "service provision" - this appears to be discussing public or organizational services provided to users. Looking at the sentence, the service being referred to is something that can be:
1. Planned
2. Provided

This suggests it's about services offered to users/clients by an organization, not about:
- Armed forces (6)
- A person (7)
- Religious worship (3)
- Tableware (9)
- Sports/strokes (12)
- Legal service (13)
- Car maintenance (14)
- Waiter service (15)

Between the remaining options:
1. "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - fits with "service planning" and "service provision"
4. "a company or agency that performs a public service" - could fit
5. "employment in or work for another" - less fitting
8. "a means of serving" - vague

The best fit is sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" with the example "budget separately for goods and services" - this clearly fits with the context of planning and provision of services to users.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service <t>planning</t> but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action | examples=the planning was more fun than the trip itself
2. definition=the act or process of drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise
3. definition=the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening | examples=his planning for retirement was hindered by several uncertainties

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the three senses of "planning":

Sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The sentence is talking about involving users in "service planning" - which refers to the development and formulation of plans or layouts for a service system/enterprise.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action" - This is about formulating a program, which could fit.

2. "the act or process of drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise" - This is about drawing up plans or layouts for a project or enterprise (in this case, a service). This seems to fit well with "service planning."

3. "the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening" - This is more about contingency planning or personal preparation. This doesn't fit as well.

In the context of "service planning," we're talking about the professional/organizational process of developing and creating plans for a service system. This is most clearly sense 2, which specifically mentions "drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise."

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their <t>involvement</t> in service provision was found to be more common.

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

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

Sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their <t>involvement</t> in service provision was found to be more common."

The sentence is contrasting:
- Attempts to involve users in service planning (fewer cases)
- Their involvement in service provision (more common)

Let me consider each sense:

1. "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" - This seems like it could fit. The users are sharing in the activities of service provision.

2. "a connection of inclusion or containment" - This could work, but it seems more about being implicated in something negative (as the example suggests with "escaped involvement in the accident").

3. "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" - This doesn't fit well. The sentence is about actual participation, not just concern or curiosity.

4. "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship" - This clearly doesn't fit the context of service planning and provision.

5. "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" - This could fit, describing the condition of users sharing in common with the service providers.

Looking at the sentence more carefully, it's about users participating in/sharing in service provision activities. Sense 1 seems most directly applicable - "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" fits with users being involved in service provision.

Sense 5 could also work, but sense 1 seems more precise to the context of this particular sentence about involvement in service activities.

I'll go with sense 1.

14. definition=periodic maintenance on a car or machine | examples=it was time for an overhaul on the tractor
15. definition=the performance of duties by a waiter or servant | examples=that restaurant has excellent service

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

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in <t>service</t> provision was found to be more common."

The context is about "service provision" - this is discussing the actual delivery or provision of services to users, as opposed to their involvement in planning those services.

Let me look at each definition:

1. "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - This fits the context of service provision, as provision would mean the actual work/services being delivered.

2. "an act of help or assistance" - Could fit, but it's more specific

3. "the act of public worship following prescribed rules" - Doesn't fit

4. "a company or agency that performs a public service" - Doesn't fit exactly

5. "employment in or work for another" - Could fit but not the best match

6. "a force that is a branch of the armed forces" - Doesn't fit

7. Canadian writer - Doesn't fit

8. "a means of serving" - Very vague, could fit

9. "tableware consisting of a complete set of articles" - Doesn't fit

10. "the act of mating by male animals" - Doesn't fit

11. "feudal tenant acts" - Doesn't fit

12. "sports stroke" - Doesn't fit

13. "delivery of a writ or summons" - Doesn't fit

14. "periodic maintenance on a car or machine" - Doesn't fit

15. "performance of duties by a waiter or servant" - This is about service provision in the context of waiting/serving

The most appropriate definition is #1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" because "service provision" refers to the delivery of such work/services.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service <t>provision</t> was found to be more common.

Senses:
1. definition=a stipulated condition | examples=he accepted subject to one provision
2. definition=the activity of supplying or providing something
3. definition=the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening | examples=his planning for retirement was hindered by several uncertainties
4. definition=a store or supply of something (especially of food or clothing or arms)

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the meaning of "provision" in context:

"There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The sentence contrasts "service planning" with "service provision." In this context, "provision" refers to the actual supplying or providing of services.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a stipulated condition" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't talking about a condition.

2. "the activity of supplying or providing something" - This fits perfectly. The sentence is talking about the activity of providing/supplying services.

3. "the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening" - This is about planning ahead, which doesn't fit this context.

4. "a store or supply of something (especially of food or clothing or arms)" - This could mean a supply, but it's more about a stored supply rather than the activity of providing.

The most appropriate sense is #2: "the activity of supplying or providing something" - this directly contrasts with planning and refers to the actual delivery or provision of services.

Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was <t>found</t> to be more common."

The sentence is saying that "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common" - meaning through research or investigation, it was discovered/determined that their involvement was more common.

Let me look at the senses:

1. Come upon by accident - doesn't fit
2. Discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of - this could fit
3. Come upon after searching - doesn't fit the context
4. Establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study - this fits well! The context suggests this is the result of research/study
5. Come to believe on basis of emotion - doesn't fit
6. Perceive or be contemporaneous with - could fit
7. Get something for a specific purpose - doesn't fit
8. Make a discovery - could fit
9. Make a discovery/discover that - "found that" - this could fit
10. Obtain through effort or management - doesn't fit
11. Decide and make a declaration - doesn't fit
12. Receive treatment - doesn't fit
13. Perceive oneself to be in condition - doesn't fit
14. Get or find back - doesn't fit
15. Succeed in reaching - doesn't fit
16. Accept and make use of one's personality - doesn't fit

The key context here is "were relatively few cases reported" and the comparison with what "was found to be more common." This suggests a research study or systematic examination. The use of "was found" indicates the result of an investigation or study.

Sense 4 says "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - this is the most appropriate fit.

Sense 9 is also a possibility ("She found that he had lied to her"), but sense 4 is more specific to the context of investigations and studies.
The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be <t>more</t> common.

Senses:
1. definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | examples=more interesting
2. definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be <t>more</t> common."

In this sentence, "more" is being used to modify the adjective "common" to form the comparative form of that adjective. The sentence is comparing two things: the frequency of attempts to involve users in service planning versus their involvement in service provision. It's saying that involvement in service provision was MORE common than attempts in planning.

Looking at the senses:
1. "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" with examples like "more interesting" - This is about forming the comparative form of an adjective or adverb.
2. "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" with examples like "he works more now" - This is about using "more" as a standalone comparative meaning "to a greater extent"

In our sentence, "more common" is forming the comparative of the adjective "common" (common → more common). This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 would be if we had something like "he works more now" where "more" is used as a standalone modifier meaning "to a greater degree or extent."

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more <t>common</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public | examples=for the common good
2. definition=having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual | examples=the common man
3. definition=common to or shared by two or more parties | examples=a common friend
4. definition=commonly encountered | examples=a common (or familiar) complaint
5. definition=being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language | examples=common parlance
6. definition=of or associated with the great masses of people | examples=the common people in those days suffered greatly
7. definition=of low or inferior quality or value; - Shakespeare | examples=of what coarse metal ye are molded
8. definition=lacking refinement or cultivation or taste | examples=he had coarse manners but a first-rate mind
9. definition=to be expected; standard | examples=common decency

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

The sentence is saying that user involvement in service provision was found to be more common - meaning it happens frequently or is frequently encountered.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't talking about something that belongs to a community as a whole.

2. "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - This could fit. It's saying the involvement was more commonly encountered or usual.

3. "common to or shared by two or more parties" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't talking about something shared between parties.

4. "commonly encountered" - This fits perfectly. It's saying user involvement in service provision was found to be more commonly encountered.

5. "being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language" - This doesn't fit.

6. "of or associated with the great masses of people" - This doesn't fit.

7. "of low or inferior quality or value" - This doesn't fit.

8. "lacking refinement or cultivation or taste" - This doesn't fit.

9. "to be expected; standard" - This could fit, but it's slightly different from being "commonly encountered."

Between 2, 4, and 9:
- Sense 2 includes "commonly encountered" as part of its definition
- Sense 4 specifically defines it as "commonly encountered"
- Sense 9 defines it as "to be expected; standard"

The sentence emphasizes that the involvement "was found to be more common" - suggesting it occurs frequently. Sense 4 "commonly encountered" seems like the most precise match.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - this also fits well and includes "commonly encountered."
Sense 4 stands out as the most direct match since it explicitly captures what the sentence conveys—that user involvement in service provision occurs with notable frequency.

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

Sentence: Note was also taken of the <t>variety</t> of different roles played by public welfare

Senses:
1. definition=a collection containing a variety of sorts of things | examples=a great assortment of cars was on display
2. definition=noticeable heterogeneity | examples=a diversity of possibilities
3. definition=(biology) a taxonomic category consisting of members of a species that differ from others of the same species in minor but heritable characteristics | examples=varieties are frequently recognized in botany
4. definition=a show consisting of a series of short unrelated performances
5. definition=a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality | examples=sculpture is a form of art
6. definition=a difference that is usually pleasant | examples=he goes to France for variety

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

I need to determine which sense of "variety" is being used here.

Looking at the senses:
1. A collection containing a variety of sorts of things - This is about a collection of different items
2. Noticeable heterogeneity - This means diversity or the quality of being different/diverse
3. A taxonomic category in biology - This is specific to biology
4. A show with short unrelated performances - This is about entertainment
5. A category of things distinguished by some characteristic - This is about classification
6. A difference that is usually pleasant - This is about the pleasant quality of variation/change

In the sentence, "the variety of different roles" refers to the fact that there are different types of roles being played - the diversity or heterogeneity of these roles. The sentence is noting that public welfare plays many different kinds of roles.

This best matches sense 2: "noticeable heterogeneity" with the example "a diversity of possibilities". The sentence is noting the diversity or different nature of the roles.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 1: "a collection containing a variety of sorts of things" - This could work as "variety of different roles" could be seen as a collection of different types of roles.

But sense 2 "noticeable heterogeneity" with "diversity of possibilities" as an example seems to fit better because the focus is on the diverseness/heterogeneity of the roles, not on a collection per se.

I think the answer is 2.

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

Sentence: Note was also taken of the variety of <t>different</t> roles played by public welfare

Senses:
1. definition=unlike in nature or quality or form or degree | examples=took different approaches to the problem
2. definition=distinctly separate from the first | examples=that's another (or different) issue altogether
3. definition=differing from all others; not ordinary | examples=advertising that strives continually to be different
4. definition=marked by dissimilarity | examples=for twins they are very unlike
5. definition=distinct or separate | examples=each interviewed different members of the community

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Note was also taken of the variety of <t>different</t> roles played by public welfare"

The sentence is talking about "different roles" - meaning multiple roles that are not the same or are distinct from each other.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "unlike in nature or quality or form or degree" - This could fit, as the roles are unlike/different from each other
2. "distinctly separate from the first" - This refers to something being separate from a first thing, which doesn't fit well here
3. "differing from all others; not ordinary" - This means something is unique/unusual, which isn't what's meant here
4. "marked by dissimilarity" - This means showing dissimilarity, similar to sense 1
5. "distinct or separate" - This means each one is separate/distinct from the others

The key phrase is "variety of different roles" - it's talking about multiple roles that are distinct from one another. The use of "variety" suggests multiple distinct/separate things.

Sense 5 says "distinct or separate" with examples "each interviewed different members of the community" - this is very similar to our sentence structure where we have multiple distinct items.

Sense 1 is more general about things being unlike in nature.

I think sense 5 is the best fit because it emphasizes that each role is distinct/separate, and the example given has a similar structure to our sentence.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

I need to find which sense of "played" is being used here. The key phrase is "roles played."

This is clearly talking about playing a role or part - in the sense of taking on a role or performing a role. Let me look at sense 4:

4. definition=play a role or part | examples=Gielgud played Hamlet

Yes, this matches perfectly. "Played" in the context of "roles played" means taking on different roles, similar to how Gielgud played Hamlet.

The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by <t>public</t> welfare

Senses:
1. definition=not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole | examples=the public good
2. definition=affecting the people or community as a whole | examples=community leaders

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by <t>public</t> welfare"

I need to determine which sense of "public" is being used here.

Sense 1: "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole" | examples: the public good
Sense 2: "affecting the people or community as a whole" | examples: community leaders

In the phrase "public welfare," the word "public" is describing welfare. Public welfare refers to welfare that affects the people or community as a whole - it's welfare programs and services designed for the benefit of the community/people in general.

Looking at the two senses:
- Sense 1 is about something being "not private" or "concerning the people as a whole"
- Sense 2 is about something "affecting the people or community as a whole"

Both seem quite similar. However, "public welfare" is most naturally understood as welfare that affects/serves the people or community as a whole, which aligns with Sense 2. The phrase "public good" in Sense 1 is the example, and "public welfare" would be similar to "public good" - both refer to things concerning the people as a whole.

Actually, looking more carefully, Sense 1 and Sense 2 are very similar in meaning. "Concerning the people as a whole" (Sense 1) and "affecting the people or community as a whole" (Sense 2) are essentially the same concept.

Given that "the public good" is used as an example for Sense 1, and "public welfare" is very similar to "the public good," I would say Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

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

Sentence: Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public <t>welfare</t>

Senses:
1. definition=governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need | examples=she lives on welfare
2. definition=something that aids or promotes well-being | examples=for the benefit of all
3. definition=a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous | examples=the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent troubles

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

The sentence is talking about "public welfare" and the different roles it plays. This is referring to governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need, as "public welfare" typically refers to government welfare programs that provide assistance to people in need.

Let me check each sense:

1. "governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need" - Yes, this fits. Public welfare programs are government programs that provide economic assistance. The sentence is discussing the roles of public welfare systems.

2. "something that aids or promotes well-being" - This is too general and could apply to many things.

3. "a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous" - This doesn't fit because we're not talking about a state of being happy/healthy/prosperous.

The correct sense is 1, as "public welfare" is a term specifically used to refer to governmental provision of economic assistance programs.

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

Sentence: The <t>Foundation</t> organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services.

Senses:
1. definition=the basis on which something is grounded | examples=there is little foundation for his objections
2. definition=an institution supported by an endowment
3. definition=lowest support of a structure | examples=it was built on a base of solid rock
4. definition=education or instruction in the fundamentals of a field of knowledge | examples=he lacks the foundation necessary for advanced study
5. 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
6. definition=a woman's undergarment worn to give shape to the contours of the body
7. definition=the act of starting something for the first time; introducing something new | examples=she looked forward to her initiation as an adult

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The <t>Foundation</t> organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services."

In this context, "Foundation" is capitalized and is the subject of the sentence. It's being used as a proper noun referring to a specific organization that organized a conference.

Looking at the senses:
1. "basis on which something is grounded" - This is a conceptual/abstract meaning, not used here
2. "an institution supported by an endowment" - This matches! The Foundation is an organization/institution
3. "lowest support of a structure" - This is about physical structures
4. "education or instruction in fundamentals" - This is about education
5. "fundamental assumptions" - This is abstract/conceptual
6. "woman's undergarment" - Clearly not used here
7. "the act of starting something for the first time" - This is about the action of founding/establishing

The correct answer is sense 2: "an institution supported by an endowment" because the Foundation is clearly being referred to as an organization/institution that has the capacity to organize conferences.

Sentence: The Foundation organised, together with the European <t>Commission</t>, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services.

Senses:
1. definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter;  - Milton Berle | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. definition=a fee for services rendered based on a percentage of an amount received or collected or agreed to be paid (as distinguished from a salary) | examples=he works on commission
3. definition=the act of granting authority to undertake certain functions

5. definition=a group of representatives or delegates
6. definition=a formal statement of a command or injunction to do something | examples=the judge's charge to the jury
7. definition=an official document issued by a government and conferring on the recipient the rank of an officer in the armed forces
8. definition=the act of committing a crime
9. definition=a special assignment that is given to a person or group | examples=a confidential mission to London

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

"The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion..."

In this sentence, "the European Commission" refers to a specific institution - the executive body of the European Union. It's being listed alongside other organizations/bodies (Ministry of Social Affairs, regional government) that organized an event together.

Looking at the senses:
1. A special group delegated to consider some matter - This could fit, as the Commission is a group
2. A fee for services (commission) - No, this is about payment
3. The act of granting authority - No
4. State of being in working order - No
5. A group of representatives or delegates - This fits! The European Commission is a group of representatives
6. A formal statement/command - No
7. An official document for military rank - No
8. The act of committing a crime - No
9. A special assignment - Could fit

The European Commission is primarily an official body consisting of representatives. Between options 1 and 5, option 5 "a group of representatives or delegates" is the most accurate description of what the European Commission is. It's an institution made up of representatives from member states.

Option 1 is more about a temporary group delegated to consider something, while option 5 is more about an established group of representatives, which better describes the European Commission.

The answer should be 5.

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

Sentence: The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish <t>Ministry</t> of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services.

Senses:
1. definition=religious ministers collectively (especially Presbyterian)
2. definition=building where the business of a government department is transacted
3. definition=a government department under the direction of a minister
4. definition=the work of a minister of religion | examples=he is studying for the ministry

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

The sentence reads: "The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion..."

In this context, "Ministry of Social Affairs" refers to a government department that handles social affairs. It's one of the administrative departments of the Spanish government, headed by a minister.

Let me check each sense:

1. "religious ministers collectively (especially Presbyterian)" - This is about religious ministers, not relevant here.

2. "building where the business of a government department is transacted" - This is about a physical building, which is not what's meant here.

3. "a government department under the direction of a minister" - This fits perfectly. The "Ministry of Social Affairs" is a government department that handles social affairs and is under the direction of a minister.

4. "the work of a minister of religion | examples=he is studying for the ministry" - This is about religious ministry work, not relevant here.

The correct answer is 3.

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

Sentence: The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of <t>Social</t> Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to human society and its members | examples=social institutions
2. definition=living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups | examples=a human being is a social animal
3. definition=relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society | examples=made fun of her being so social and high-toned
4. definition=composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability | examples=a purely social club
5. definition=tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind | examples=ants are social insects
6. definition=marked by friendly companionship with others | examples=a social cup of coffee

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence to understand which sense of "social" is being used in "the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs."

The phrase is "the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs" - this is a government department name.

Looking at the senses:

1. "relating to human society and its members" - This could fit, as Social Affairs would deal with matters affecting society and its members
2. "living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups" - This doesn't seem to fit the context of a ministry name
3. "relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society" - This doesn't fit
4. "composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability" - This doesn't fit a government ministry
5. "tending to move or live together in groups or colonies" - This doesn't fit
6. "marked by friendly companionship with others" - This doesn't fit

The context is a government ministry dealing with social affairs. In this context, "Social Affairs" refers to matters relating to human society, welfare, and public services (as mentioned in the sentence: "a major challenge for public welfare services").

Sense 1 is the best fit: "relating to human society and its members" - This is how government ministries with "Social Affairs" in their name use the term. It's referring to matters that affect society and its members, such as welfare, health, labor, family issues, etc.
