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

Sentence: But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the <t>courts</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
2. definition=a room in which a lawcourt sits | examples=television cameras were admitted in the courtroom
3. definition=the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state
4. definition=a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played | examples=players had to reserve a court in advance
5. definition=Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947)
6. definition=the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince
7. definition=a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area
8. definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws
9. definition=the residence of a sovereign or nobleman | examples=the king will visit the duke's court
10. definition=an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings | examples=the house was built around an inner court
11. definition=respectful deference | examples=pay court to the emperor

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

The sentence is: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."

The context is about appeals courts and legal arguments, which clearly indicates a judicial/legal context.

Let me look at the relevant senses:
1. "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" - This is about courts as judicial bodies
2. "a room in which a lawcourt sits" - This is about a physical courtroom space
3. "the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state" - Political/governmental
4. "a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played" - Sports
5. "Australian woman tennis player" - Person
6. "the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince" - Royal/noble retinue
7. "a hotel for motorists" - Hotel type
8. "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" - Judicial/legal
9. "the residence of a sovereign or nobleman" - Royal/noble residence
10. "an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings" - Architectural
11. "respectful deference" - Abstract concept

The sentence is talking about "appeals courts" in a legal context about legal arguments and judicial adaptation. This is clearly referring to courts as judicial institutions/bodies.

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

Both seem applicable, but sense 1 is more general (assembly to conduct judicial business), while sense 8 is more specific about tribunals and magistrates.

In the context of "appeals courts," both could apply, but sense 1 seems to be the most direct and common usage - courts as assemblies/bodies that conduct judicial business.
Sense 1 appears to be the primary definition for courts as judicial assemblies and institutions generally, making it the best fit here.

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

Sentence: Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that <t>claim</t>.

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

finish_reason: stop

role: assistant

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim."

The context is that lawyers are "pressing" a claim. "Pressing" a claim means to pursue or advocate for it. This suggests they are asserting or demanding something as rightful.

Let me review each sense:

1. "an assertion of a right (as to money or property)" - This fits. The claim could be for damages or money/property.
2. "an assertion that something is true or factual" - This could work, but it's about asserting truth rather than rights.
3. "demand for something as rightful or due" - This fits well. Lawyers pressing a claim would be demanding something as their right.
4. "an informal right to something" - This is too informal for a legal context with lawyers.
5. "an established or recognized right" - This could fit, but it's more about the right already being established.
6. "a demand especially in the phrase" - The example seems incomplete, but this relates to demanding.

The key word here is "pressing" - when lawyers press a claim, they are pursuing an assertion of a right. Both sense 1 and sense 3 could work, but:

- Sense 1: "assertion of a right (as to money or property)" - this emphasizes the assertion
- Sense 3: "demand for something as rightful or due" - this emphasizes the demanding action

Given that the lawyers are actively "pressing" the claim, sense 3 (demand for something as rightful or due) seems most appropriate, as "pressing" is an active pursuit of a demand.

However, sense 1 is also very plausible. Let me think about the difference - sense 1 is about asserting the right exists, while sense 3 is about demanding it. "Pressing" suggests active pursuit, which aligns with sense 3.
Reconsidering this, sense 1 actually represents the standard legal usage here. When lawyers press a claim, they're fundamentally asserting a right to money or property, making sense 1 the best fit.

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

Sentence: In their <t>filing</t>, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the entering of a legal document into the public record | examples=he filed a complaint
2. definition=a fragment rubbed off by the use of a file
3. definition=the act of using a file (as in shaping or smoothing an object)
4. definition=preservation and methodical arrangement as of documents and papers etc. | examples=I have some filing to do

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

The sentence is: "In their <t>filing</t>, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

Let me look at the context:
- "In their filing" - this is a legal context
- They are referring to a Supreme Court decision
- They are making a legal claim about media and trial rules
- This appears to be a formal legal document or submission

Now let me examine each sense:

1. "the entering of a legal document into the public record" - This is about the act of filing a legal document. The sentence talks about "their filing" referring to something they submitted to court. This fits the legal context.

2. "a fragment rubbed off by the use of a file" - This is about a physical fragment, not relevant here.

3. "the act of using a file (as in shaping or smoothing an object)" - This is about physically using a file tool, not relevant here.

4. "preservation and methodical arrangement as of documents and papers etc." - This is about organizing and preserving documents, not specifically about submitting a legal document.

Given the legal context (Supreme Court, conviction, trial), "filing" here refers to a legal document that was submitted to the court. This matches sense 1 best - "the entering of a legal document into the public record."

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the <t>Supreme Court</t>'s 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the highest federal court in the United States; has final appellate jurisdiction and has jurisdiction over all other courts in the nation
2. definition=the highest court in most states of the United States

reasoning_content:
The sentence is talking about a 1966 decision by the Supreme Court regarding Dr. Sheppard's conviction. This is referring to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case "Sheppard v. Maxwell" from 1966.

The Supreme Court being referred to here is the highest federal court in the United States, which would be sense 1: "the highest federal court in the United States; has final appellate jurisdiction and has jurisdiction over all other courts in the nation"

This is not referring to a state supreme court, so it's not sense 2.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 <t>decision</t> overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of making up your mind about something | examples=the burden of decision was his
2. definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition
3. definition=(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred | examples=had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent
4. definition=the outcome of a game or contest | examples=the team dropped three decisions in a row
5. definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness

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

The sentence reads: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

The word "decision" here refers to the Supreme Court's ruling or judgment that overturned Dr. Sheppard's conviction. This is referring to a position, opinion, or judgment reached after consideration - specifically, the court's judgment/ruling.

Let me check each sense:

1. "the act of making up your mind about something" - This is about the process/act of deciding, not the result. The sentence is not talking about the act itself, but the result of that act.

2. "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" - This fits! The Supreme Court's decision is a judgment/ruling reached after consideration of the case.

3. "(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred" - This is specific to boxing, clearly not relevant here.

4. "the outcome of a game or contest" - While a court ruling could be an "outcome," this sense is specifically about games or contests, not legal matters.

5. "the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose" - This is about a personality trait, not relevant here.

The answer is sense 2, as it refers to the Supreme Court's judgment/ruling that was reached after considering the case.

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's <t>conviction</t> because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=an unshakable belief in something without need for proof or evidence
2. definition=(criminal law) a final judgment of guilty in a criminal case and the punishment that is imposed | examples=the conviction came as no surprise

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

The sentence is: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

The key context clues are:
- "Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning" - suggests a legal decision being reversed
- "because of the trial coverage" - refers to a trial
- This is clearly a legal/criminal context

Let me look at the definitions:
1. "an unshakable belief in something without need for proof or evidence" - This is the philosophical/personal belief sense
2. "(criminal law) a final judgment of guilty in a criminal case and the punishment that is imposed" - This is the legal sense, with the example "the conviction came as no surprise"

Given that the sentence is talking about:
- A Supreme Court decision
- Overturning a conviction
- A trial
- Dr. Sheppard (this is likely referring to the famous Dr. Sam Sheppard case)

This is clearly using sense #2 - the criminal law definition referring to a final judgment of guilty in a criminal case.

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the <t>trial</t> coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of testing something | examples=in the experimental trials the amount of carbon was measured separately
2. definition=trying something to find out about it | examples=a sample for ten days free trial
3. definition=the act of undergoing testing | examples=he survived the great test of battle
4. definition=(law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law | examples=he had a fair trial and the jury found him guilty
5. definition=(sports) a preliminary competition to determine qualifications | examples=the trials for the semifinals began yesterday
6. definition=an annoying or frustrating or catastrophic event | examples=his mother-in-law's visits were a great trial for him

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

The sentence reads: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the <t>trial</t> coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

The context here is:
- They're referring to a Supreme Court decision
- It's about overturning a conviction
- The trial coverage (media coverage of the trial) was the reason the conviction was overturned
- This is in a legal context about Dr. Sheppard (a famous case about media influence on trials)

The word "trial" here refers to the legal proceedings - the court case where Dr. Sheppard was convicted and where there was extensive media coverage that affected the proceedings.

Looking at the senses:
1. Testing something experimentally - No, not about testing
2. Trying something to find out about it - No, not about sampling
3. Undergoing testing - No, not about battle/testing
4. (law) The determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law - YES, this is clearly about the legal proceedings/court case
5. (sports) preliminary competition - No, this isn't about sports
6. An annoying/frustrating event - While a trial can be frustrating, that's not the primary meaning here

The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial <t>coverage</t> and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the total amount and type of insurance carried
2. definition=the extent to which something is covered | examples=the dictionary's coverage of standard English is excellent
3. definition=the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television | examples=they accused the paper of biased coverage of race relations

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

"In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial <t>coverage</t> and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."

The context mentions:
- A Supreme Court decision related to Dr. Sheppard's conviction
- The reason was "trial coverage"
- They're discussing how "new media required new rules"

This is referring to the media coverage of the trial - how the news was reported on the case. The Supreme Court case (Sheppard v. Maxwell, 1966) was actually about how extensive media coverage of a trial can prejudice the defendant's right to a fair trial.

So the sense being used is about "the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television" - specifically, the trial coverage in the news media.

This matches sense 3.

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

Sentence: In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new <t>rules</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast
2. definition=something regarded as a normative example | examples=the convention of not naming the main character
3. definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action
4. definition=(linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice
5. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works
6. definition=the duration of a monarch's or government's power | examples=during the rule of Elizabeth
7. definition=dominance or power through legal authority | examples=France held undisputed dominion over vast areas of Africa
8. definition=directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess
9. definition=any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order | examples=the rule of St. Dominic
10. definition=a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system | examples=the principle of the conservation of mass
11. definition=(mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems | examples=he determined the upper bound with Descartes' rule of signs
12. definition=measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths

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

"In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new <t>rules</t>."

The context is about legal proceedings and media coverage. They're saying that new media requires new "rules" - meaning new regulations or guidelines that should govern how the media operates in relation to court proceedings.

Let me look at each definition:

1. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" - This could fit, as rules do govern behavior
2. "something regarded as a normative example" - Doesn't fit
3. "prescribed guide for conduct or action" - This fits well - rules for media conduct
4. "(linguistics) a rule describing a linguistic practice" - Doesn't fit
5. "a basic generalization that is accepted as true" - Doesn't fit as well
6. "the duration of a monarch's or government's power" - Doesn't fit
7. "dominance or power through legal authority" - Doesn't fit
8. "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted" - While similar in structure, this is specific to games/sports
9. "any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order" - Doesn't fit
10. "a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system" - Doesn't fit
11. "(mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems" - Doesn't fit
12. "measuring stick" - Doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" - because the rules being discussed are guidelines for how the media should conduct itself in covering trials.

Sense 1 is also quite close, but sense 3 is more specific and accurate given the legal/regulatory context.

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

Sentence: "This <t>case</t>," they wrote, "represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century."

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
10. definition=the quantity contained in a case
11. definition=nouns or pronouns or adjectives (often marked by inflection) related in some way to other words in a sentence
12. definition=a specific state of mind that is temporary | examples=a case of the jitters
13. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) | examples=a real character
14. definition=a specific size and style of type within a type family
15. definition=an enveloping structure or covering enclosing an animal or plant organ or part
16. definition=the housing or outer covering of something | examples=the clock has a walnut case
17. definition=the enclosing frame around a door or window opening | examples=the casings had rotted away and had to be replaced
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: "This <t>case</t>," they wrote, "represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century."

The sentence is talking about a legal case, specifically referencing "Sheppard v. Maxwell" which is a famous legal case. The author is saying that "this case" represents a modern-day equivalent of that famous legal case.

Let me look at the relevant senses:

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

8. definition=a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir

The context mentions "Sheppard v. Maxwell" which is a court case, suggesting that "case" here refers to a legal proceeding. Sense 3 is specifically defined as "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy."

While sense 8 could work (a case can be a problem requiring investigation), sense 3 is more precise and directly refers to legal cases in court.

The answer should be 3.

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

Sentence: "This case," they wrote, "represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st <t>century</t>."

Senses:
1. definition=a period of 100 years
2. definition=ten 10s

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

The sentence is: "This case," they wrote, "represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st <t>century</t>."

They are referring to "the 21st century," which refers to a period of 100 years (specifically the years 2001-2100, though commonly understood as the 2000s).

Let me look at the two senses:
1. definition=a period of 100 years
2. definition=ten 10s

Sense 1 is clearly a period of 100 years, which is exactly what "21st century" means - it's a 100-year period.

Sense 2 is "ten 10s" which would be 10 × 10 = 100, but this is a mathematical way of describing the definition rather than the actual meaning used in context.

In this sentence, "century" is being used to refer to a period of 100 years (the 21st century = 2001-2100). This matches sense 1.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Sport and <t>fraud</t> law

Senses:
1. definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "Sport and fraud law"

This is referring to the legal field or discipline that deals with fraud in the context of sports. When we say "fraud law," we're referring to the body of law that deals with fraud.

In this context, "fraud" is being used as a noun referring to the concept/phenomenon of deception that the law addresses, not:
- A person who commits fraud (sense 2)
- An instance of deliberate trickery (sense 3)

Actually, let me reconsider. All three senses could potentially fit, but I need to think about what makes the most sense in legal terminology.

Sense 1: "intentional deception resulting in injury to another person" - This describes the concept of fraud as a legal matter
Sense 2: "a person who makes deceitful pretenses" - This would be a person, not applicable here
Sense 3: "something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" - This could describe instances of fraud

In "fraud law," we're talking about the legal field that deals with fraudulent acts. Sense 1 best captures the general concept of fraud as it would be addressed in law - it's the phenomenon of intentional deception that causes injury. This is what "fraud law" regulates.

Sense 3 is about "something intended to deceive" which is also about fraudulent acts, but sense 1 is more precise as it includes the element of resulting injury to another person, which is what fraud law is concerned with.

I think sense 1 is the most appropriate answer.

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

Sentence: Sport and fraud <t>law</t>

Senses:
1. definition=the collection of rules imposed by authority | examples=civilization presupposes respect for the law
2. definition=legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity | examples=there is a law against kidnapping
3. definition=a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society
4. definition=a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature | examples=the laws of thermodynamics
5. definition=the branch of philosophy concerned with the law and the principles that lead courts to make the decisions they do
6. definition=the learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system | examples=he studied law at Yale
7. definition=the force of policemen and officers | examples=the law came looking for him

reasoning_content:
The sentence is "Sport and fraud law"

Let me analyze each sense:

1. "the collection of rules imposed by authority" - This could fit, but it's more general
2. "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - This refers to specific laws/statutes about kidnapping, etc.
3. "a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature" - Doesn't fit
4. "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature" - Doesn't fit (this is about scientific laws)
5. "the branch of philosophy concerned with the law" - Doesn't fit
6. "the learned profession... responsible for the judicial system" - This could fit, referring to the field/profession of law
7. "the force of policemen and officers" - Doesn't fit

Looking at "Sport and fraud law" - this is referring to the body of legal rules and regulations that govern sport and fraud. It's talking about the set of laws/rules that apply to these areas, similar to how "tax law" or "contract law" would refer to the body of legal rules in those areas.

This best matches sense 2 - "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" - because we're referring to the collection of legal rules that govern sport and fraud activities.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider. "Sport and fraud law" could also be interpreted as referring to the field/practice area of law (sense 6). Like "he practices sport and fraud law" - it's a practice area.

But sense 2 is more specific - it talks about rules governing a particular kind of activity. "Sport law" and "fraud law" are bodies of rules governing those activities.

I think sense 2 is the best fit.

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

Sentence: <t>Tricks</t> such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction.

Senses:
1. definition=a cunning or deceitful action or device | examples=he played a trick on me
2. definition=a period of work or duty
3. definition=an attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent | examples=that offer was a dirty trick
4. definition=a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement
5. definition=an illusory feat; considered magical by naive observers
6. definition=a prostitute's customer
7. definition=(card games) in a single round, the sequence of cards played by all the players; the high card is the winner

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction."

The sentence is talking about tricks performed by Alonso and Ramos (appears to be referring to football/soccer players) that demonstrate wittiness but not a serious will to avoid a sanction.

Looking at the context:
- It's about football/soccer players
- They're performing "tricks" that show wittiness
- These are tactical or skillful moves in the game
- The tricks demonstrate cleverness/ingenuity in play

Let me consider each sense:

1. "a cunning or deceitful action or device" - This could fit, but it's more about cunning/deceit
2. "a period of work or duty" - Doesn't fit
3. "an attempt to get you to do something foolish" - This could potentially fit as a tactical move
4. "a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement" - This seems to fit better - it's about a playful, amusing action
5. "an illusory feat; considered magical" - Doesn't fit
6. "a prostitute's customer" - Doesn't fit
7. "card games sequence" - Doesn't fit

In the context of sports/football, "tricks" typically refers to skillful, clever maneuvers or feats that are done for effect - which aligns with sense 4 "a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement" or sense 1 "a cunning or deceitful action."

Actually, looking more carefully, in football/soccer context, "tricks" refers to skillful moves/feats. Sense 4 mentions "done for fun and amusement" which captures the playful, clever nature of football tricks. Sense 1 about "cunning or deceitful action" also works in the context of fooling defenders.
Since the sentence emphasizes that these tricks "demonstrate wittiness," sense 4 best captures this playful cleverness and amusement aspect. The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the <t>will</t> to get remove of a sanction.

Senses:
1. definition=the capability of conscious choice and decision and intention; - George Meredith | examples=the exercise of their volition we construe as revolt
2. definition=a fixed and persistent intent or purpose | examples=where there's a will there's a way
3. definition=a legal document declaring a person's wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die

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

The sentence is: "Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the <t>will</t> to get remove of a sanction."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "the capability of conscious choice and decision and intention" - This is about the ability to make choices and decide things consciously. The example given is "the exercise of their volition we construe as revolt"

2. "a fixed and persistent intent or purpose" - This is about a determined intention or purpose. The example given is "where there's a will there's a way"

3. "a legal document declaring a person's wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die" - This is the legal/testamentary sense.

In the sentence, "will" is being used to mean the determination or intention to do something - "the will to get remove of a sanction" means the determination/intent to get rid of a sanction.

This corresponds to sense 2: "a fixed and persistent intent or purpose" - because it's talking about a persistent intent or determination to accomplish something (getting rid of a sanction).

Sense 1 is also about intention and choice, but it's more about the general capability rather than a specific fixed purpose.

Sense 2 fits better because it specifically mentions "a fixed and persistent intent or purpose," which matches the idea of having the determination to do something specific (remove a sanction).

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: The <t>expulsion</t> presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police
2. definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube
3. definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

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

The sentence is talking about an expulsion in a soccer/football game, specifically referring to red cards issued to two Real Madrid players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in a Champions League match against Ajax.

In sports context, an expulsion refers to a player being forced to leave the game/field, which is the act of forcing someone out.

Let me examine the three senses:

1. "the act of forcing out someone or something" with examples like "the ejection of troublemakers by the police" - This fits the sports context of removing a player from the game.

2. "squeezing out by applying pressure" with examples like "an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube" - This is about physical compression and extraction, not applicable here.

3. "the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting" - This is more general/abstract and could apply, but it's essentially saying the same as sense 1.

The most specific and appropriate sense for a player being sent off from a soccer game is sense 1: "the act of forcing out someone or something" - which describes the ejection of a player from the game.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The expulsion presumably forged by two <t>players</t> of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

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:
Looking at the sentence, it mentions "players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League."

The context clearly indicates that these are football/soccer players who are participating in a Champions League match. The sentence is discussing their behavior during a game.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This matches perfectly. Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos are participants in a soccer/football game.

2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - No, this doesn't fit.

3. "a theatrical performer" - No, this doesn't fit.

4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - No, this doesn't fit.

5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - While they could be considered important participants in the context of a business/organizational sense, the most direct and obvious meaning here is sense 1.

The answer is clearly sense 1.

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

Sentence: The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the <t>game</t> played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

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

9. definition=the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game | examples=the child received several games for his birthday
10. definition=your occupation or line of work | examples=he's in the plumbing game
11. definition=frivolous or trifling behavior | examples=for actors, memorizing lines is no game

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

The sentence is about a specific sporting event: "the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League"

Let me look at each sense:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - This could fit, but it's quite general
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - This seems to fit well. It's talking about one specific match/game that was played on a specific date
3. An amusement or pastime - No, this is not a casual amusement
4. Animal hunted for food or sport - No, not relevant here
5. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves - No, this is about soccer/football, not tennis
6. (Games) the score at a particular point - No, not about the score
7. The flesh of wild animals used for food - No, not relevant
8. A secret scheme - No, not about a scheme
9. The game equipment needed - No, not about equipment
10. Your occupation or line of work - No, not about occupation
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior - No, not about frivolous behavior

The sentence is referring to a specific match/game of soccer that was played on November 23rd. This is clearly sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" - it's referring to one specific match/game that occurred.

Actually, sense 1 could also work (a contest with rules to determine a winner), but sense 2 is more specific to a single instance of a sport/contest, which is what the sentence is describing.

I think sense 2 is the best answer here.

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

Sentence: The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of <t>ink</t> to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

Senses:
1. definition=a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing
2. definition=dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish and other cephalopods

reasoning_content:
The sentence uses the phrase "rivers of ink to be written about." This is a figurative expression referring to the large amount of written commentary and articles that have been produced about the incident.

The metaphor "rivers of ink" refers to the large quantity of written material (newspapers, articles, commentary, etc.) that has been produced, using "ink" as a symbol for written text.

Sense 1 defines ink as "a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing" - this is the correct sense being used here, as the sentence is referring to the ink used in printing and writing.

Sense 2 defines ink as "dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish and other cephalopods" - this is not the sense being used in the sentence.

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such <t>behavior</t> is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA.

Senses:
1. definition=manner of acting or controlling yourself
2. definition=the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances | examples=the behavior of small particles can be studied in experiments
3. definition=(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people
4. definition=(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation

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

The sentence is discussing players in a soccer game and whether their "behavior" (in context, their conduct during the game - specifically an expulsion/red card situation) is unsportsmanlike.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "manner of acting or controlling yourself" - This is about how someone acts or conducts themselves, their demeanor or actions in general.

2. "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances" - This is about how things react in specific situations, typically used for non-living things like machines or particles.

3. "(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people" - This is specifically about interpersonal behavior, how one acts toward others.

4. "(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation" - This is a broad psychological/scientific definition about organism responses and movements.

In the context of the sentence, "behavior" refers to the conduct of the players on the field - their actions during the game. The question is whether this conduct is unsportsmanlike. This is about "the manner of acting or controlling yourself" - how the players conducted themselves.

This fits best with sense 1: "manner of acting or controlling yourself"

While sense 3 could work (way a person behaves toward other people), sense 1 is more general and more appropriate here since we're discussing conduct that might be unsportsmanlike, which is about how they controlled/acted themselves.

The answer is 1.

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:
The sentence is talking about Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, who are football (soccer) players. The context mentions they are players of Real Madrid, playing in a game against Ajax in the European Champions League. The word "players" here clearly refers to people who participate in a game - specifically, football/soccer players.

Let me check each sense:
1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits perfectly. They are football players.
2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - No, this doesn't fit.
3. "a theatrical performer" - No, this doesn't fit.
4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - No, this doesn't fit.
5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - No, this doesn't fit.

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

Sentence: As we all know, a few <t>minutes</t> before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

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" (or "minutes" in this case) is being used.

The sentence reads: "As we all know, a few <t>minutes</t> before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The phrase is "a few minutes before the end of the game"

Let me check each definition:
1. A unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour - This is the basic time unit. "A few minutes" would literally mean a few 60-second periods.
2. An indefinitely short time - This is more abstract, just meaning "a moment"
3. A particular point in time - This would refer to a specific moment, like "at that minute"
4. A unit of angular distance - Not relevant here
5. A short note - Not relevant here
6. Distance measured by the time taken - "10 minutes away" - means distance

In the sentence, "a few minutes before the end of the game" is describing a period of time. This could be either sense 1 (literal unit of time) or sense 2 (indefinitely short time).

However, looking at the context "a few minutes before" - this is using minutes as a measurable unit of time. If it meant indefinitely short time, it would more likely be phrased differently. The phrase "a few minutes" suggests a literal measurement of time units.

I think this is sense 1 - a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour. The phrase "a few minutes" literally means a few periods of 60 seconds.

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

Sentence: As we all know, a few minutes before the <t>end</t> of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

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: "As we all know, a few minutes before the <t>end</t> of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

The context is about a sports game (specifically appears to be a soccer/football game based on "yellow card"). The phrase is "the end of the game" - this refers to the point in time at which the game ends.

Let me check each sense:
1. Either extremity of something that has length - No, the game doesn't have a physical length
2. The point in time at which something ends - YES, this fits! "the end of the game" refers to when the game concludes in time
3. The concluding parts of an event - This could work, but it's more specifically about the point in time
4. The state of affairs a plan achieves - No, not relevant here
5. A final part or section - This could work, but it's more about the point in time
6. A final state - No, not about a state
7. The surface at either extremity - No, not about surfaces
8. Football player position - No, not about a person
9. A boundary marking extremities - No, not relevant
10. One of two places for communication - No, not relevant
11. The part you play - No, not relevant
12. The last section of communication - No, not relevant
13. Leftover cloth - No, not relevant
14. American football position - No, not relevant

The best fit is sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends" because "the end of the game" refers to when the game concludes temporally.

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

"As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

Key context clues:
- "a few minutes before the end of the game"
- "their team had already won"
- "both players" (referring to individual players)
- "referee show the second yellow card" (this is a sports context, specifically one where yellow cards are used - soccer/football)
- "wasted time" (time-wasting is a tactic used during matches)

The context is clearly a sports match. The sentence is talking about "a few minutes before the end of the game" - this is referring to a single play/match/contest event, not a general contest or amusement.

Let me check the senses:
1. A contest with rules to determine a winner - this is too general
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - THIS FITS. It's talking about one specific match that took place, which had a start and an end ("a few minutes before the end of the game")
3. An amusement or pastime - not appropriate here
4. Animal hunted for food or sport - no
5. Tennis division - no (this is soccer/football based on yellow cards)
6. Tennis score - no
7. Flesh of wild animals - no
8. Secret scheme - no
9. Game equipment - no
10. Occupation - no
11. Frivolous behavior - no

The answer is 2 - "a single play of a sport or other contest"

Sentence: As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their <t>team</t> had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

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 mentions: "their <t>team</t> had already won" in the context of a game, with references to "both players," "the referee," and "the second yellow card."

Let me look at the two senses:

1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This would refer to a group of players working together in a sporting context.

2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This would refer to animals like horses that pull wagons or other equipment.

In the sentence, "team" clearly refers to the sports team that the players belong to - they mention the game, players, referee, and yellow cards, which are all elements of sports. The players are part of a team that won the game.

This is clearly sense 1: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)"

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

The sentence reads: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

Key context clues:
- "a few minutes before the end of the game"
- "their team had already won"
- "the referee show the second yellow card"
- "deliberately wasted time"

This is clearly about a sports context (a game with a referee and yellow cards, which is typical of soccer/football).

Let me check each sense:

1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits! The players are participating in a game.

2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - No, this is about musicians.

3. "a theatrical performer" - No, this is about theater/acting.

4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - No, this doesn't fit the context.

5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - No, this is about business deals.

The correct sense is #1, as it refers to people who participate in a game (specifically a sports game in this context).

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

Sentence: As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted <t>time</t> which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

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

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted <t>time</t> which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them."

In this context, "wasted time" means they used up time that could have been used for something else. The players deliberately spent time (duration) in a wasteful manner to run down the clock in the game.

Let me look at each definition:

1. "an instance or single occasion for some event" - No, it's not about a single occasion
2. "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - This fits! They "wasted time" as if it's a resource they're using/consuming
3. "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - Could fit, but more about duration
4. "a suitable moment" - No, doesn't fit
5. "the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past" - No, too abstract
6. "a person's experience on a particular occasion" - No
7. "a reading of a point in time as given by a clock" - No, not about a specific clock reading
8. "the fourth coordinate that is required..." - No, too technical
9. "rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration" - No
10. "the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned" - No

The key phrase is "wasted time" - this means they consumed/used up time as a resource. Definition 2 describes time as "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" with the example "take time to smell the roses" - similarly showing time as a resource.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the <t>referee</t> show the second yellow card to both of them.

Senses:
1. definition=(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play
2. definition=someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication
3. definition=an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case

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

The sentence reads: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the <t>referee</t> show the second yellow card to both of them."

Key context clues:
- "a few minutes before the end of the game" - this is sports-related
- "both players" - referring to sports players
- "wasted time" - a sports behavior
- "show the second yellow card" - yellow cards are used in sports like soccer/football
- The referee is enforcing rules during a game

Looking at the definitions:
1. "(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play" - This matches perfectly. A referee shows yellow cards and maintains fair play in sports.
2. "someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication" - This is about publishing, not sports.
3. "an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case" - This is about legal proceedings, not sports.

The correct sense is clearly 1.

12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The phrase "This way" at the beginning of the sentence means "in this manner" or "like this" or "in this direction/fashion."

Looking at the senses:

1. "how something is done or how it happens" - This seems relevant. "This way" could mean "in this manner/way it happens"
2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" - This is about means
3. "a line leading to a place or point" - This is about direction/path
4. "the condition of things generally" - Like "that's the way it is"
5. "a course of conduct" - Like "path of virtue"
6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - About roads/paths
7. "a journey or passage" - About movement
8. "space for movement" - Room to pass
9. "the property of distance" - About distance
10. "doing as one pleases" - Like "if I had my way"
11. "a general category of things" - "in the way of"
12. "a portion of something divided into shares" - Split into parts

In the sentence, "This way" is used to mean "in this manner" or "in this fashion" - describing how something is done or happens. This matches sense 1: "definition=how something is done or how it happens"

The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its <t>group</t>, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

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

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

The sentence states: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its <t>group</t>, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre..."

The context is about sports (Real Madrid, league, games against Auxerre). This appears to be discussing a sports league structure where teams are divided into groups. In sports competitions like the Champions League or similar tournaments, teams are organized into groups, and each group has multiple teams competing against each other.

Now let's look at the three definitions:
1. "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" - This fits the context. In sports, a "group" is a set of teams (entities/members) that are considered as a unit within a tournament structure.

2. "(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule" - This is a chemistry term and doesn't apply here.

3. "a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse" - This is a mathematical definition (group theory) and doesn't apply here.

The correct sense is definition 1, which describes a collection of entities considered as a unit, which matches the sports context where Real Madrid is in a group (division) with other teams.

Sentence: This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both <t>players</t> will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

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 understand which sense of "player" is being used.

The sentence is: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both <t>players</t> will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

Context clues:
- Real Madrid (a soccer/football team)
- "finish as leader of its group"
- "next game of league"
- "against Auxerre" (another soccer team)
- "prescribed sanction" (likely a disciplinary action in sports)
- "get rid of the cards" (likely referring to yellow/red cards in soccer)

This is clearly about soccer/football players. The "players" here are athletes who participate in the sport of soccer/football.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits perfectly. Soccer is a game, and these are people who participate in it.
2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - No, this doesn't fit.
3. "a theatrical performer" - No, this doesn't fit.
4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - No, this doesn't fit.
5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - This could theoretically fit any participant, but sense 1 is more directly applicable to someone who plays a game.

The answer is 1.

Sentence: This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

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

10. definition=your occupation or line of work | examples=he's in the plumbing game
11. definition=frivolous or trifling behavior | examples=for actors, memorizing lines is no game

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

"This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The context is about:
- Real Madrid (a soccer/football team)
- Players being sanctioned
- "next game of league" - this refers to the next match/competition
- "against Auxerre" - identifying the opponent
- Cards (in sports context, typically yellow/red cards in soccer)

This is clearly referring to a single play/match/competition in soccer. Let me check the senses:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner (general definition of game as a competition)
2. A single play of a sport or other contest (specific instance of playing a sport)
3. An amusement or pastime
4. Animal hunted for food
5. Tennis division
6. Tennis scoring
7. Flesh of wild animals
8. Secret scheme
9. Game equipment
10. Occupation
11. Frivolous behavior

The phrase "next game of league" refers to the next match/competition in the league. This is a single instance of a sporting competition. This matches sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" with the example "the game lasted two hours" - referring to one specific instance of the sport being played.

The answer is 2.

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

Sentence: This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of <t>league</t>, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

Senses:
1. definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members
2. definition=an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action
3. definition=an obsolete unit of distance of variable length (usually 3 miles)

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

"This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The context is about:
- Real Madrid (a soccer/football team)
- Players being sanctioned
- A game against Auxerre (another soccer team)
- Cards (likely yellow/red cards in soccer)

In this context, "league" refers to the organized competition/organization of sports teams that play matches against each other. This is clearly referring to a sports league - specifically a soccer/football league where Real Madrid and Auxerre play matches.

Looking at the three senses:
1. "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members" - This fits perfectly. A league is the organized competition between sports teams.
2. "an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action" - This is too general and not the right context.
3. "an obsolete unit of distance" - This is clearly not relevant.

The answer is sense 1.

Sentence: This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following <t>phase</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=any distinct time period in a sequence of events | examples=we are in a transitional stage in which many former ideas must be revised or rejected

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

The sentence is: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following <t>phase</t>."

The context is about sports (Real Madrid, soccer/football). The players will be able to get rid of their cards "the following phase." This is referring to the next phase of the competition - likely the next stage or round of the tournament.

Let me check each definition:

1. "any distinct time period in a sequence of events" - This fits. The "phase" here refers to the next phase/stage of the tournament, which is a distinct time period in a sequence of events.

2. "a distinct state of matter in a system" - This doesn't apply. This is a physical chemistry definition, not relevant to sports.

3. "a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle" - This is too technical/physical and doesn't fit the context.

4. "the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination (especially one of the recurring shapes of the part of Earth's moon that is illuminated by the sun)" - This is an astronomy definition, not relevant here.

The correct sense is 1, as "phase" refers to a distinct time period (the next stage of the tournament) in a sequence of events.

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

Sentence: Finally, the <t>committee</t> of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players.

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 self-constituted organization to promote something

reasoning_content:
The sentence is about a disciplinary committee of UEFA (the European football association) that has sanctioned a trainer and players.

Let me analyze what sense of "committee" is being used:

Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - This refers to a group that has been given a specific responsibility or task by an authority. The "committee of discipline of the UEFA" is indeed a special group that has been delegated to consider disciplinary matters in football.

Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something" - This refers to a group that organizes itself, not one that has been delegated authority. This doesn't fit because the discipline committee of UEFA is not self-constituted; it's an official part of UEFA's organizational structure.

The committee in the sentence is acting in an official capacity, sanctioning (punishing) people. This is clearly a "special group delegated to consider some matter" - they have been given the authority and responsibility to handle disciplinary cases.

The answer is 1.

reasoning_content:
Looking at the sentence: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two <t>games</t> the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

The context is about a disciplinary action. Jose Mourinho (a football/soccer coach) was sanctioned with "two games" - meaning he was banned/suspended from coaching for two matches/games.

This refers to a single play of a sport or other contest - specifically, he was banned for two matches/games in the sport.

Let me check the senses:
1. A contest with rules - not quite, this is more specific to one match
2. A single play of a sport or other contest - this fits! He was sanctioned for two games (matches)
3. An amusement or pastime - no
4. Animal hunted for food - no
5. Tennis division - no, not specific to tennis here
6. Score in tennis - no
7. Flesh of wild animals - no
8. Secret scheme - no
9. Game equipment - no
10. Occupation or line of work - no
11. Frivolous behavior - no

The answer is 2 - "a single play of a sport or other contest" - because the sentence is saying Mourinho was suspended for two matches/games.

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

The sentence: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the <t>trainer</t> of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

Context clues:
- This is about UEFA (Union of European Football Associations)
- Jose Mourinho is specifically named as the trainer of the team
- The committee of discipline is sanctioning (punishing) the trainer
- This is in a sports context

Jose Mourinho is a famous football (soccer) coach/manager. In this context, "trainer" refers to a person who trains/coaches the team - the football coach.

Sense 1: "one who trains other persons or animals" - This fits perfectly. A football coach/manager trains players.

Sense 2: "simulator consisting of a machine on the ground that simulates the conditions of flying a plane" - This is a flight simulator and doesn't make sense in this context at all.

The correct answer is 1.

Sentence: Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the <t>team</t>, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)

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

The sentence is: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the <t>team</t>, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

The context mentions:
- UEFA (Union of European Football Associations)
- A trainer/coach named Jose Mourinho
- Players
- A committee of discipline

This is clearly referring to a sports context, specifically football/soccer. The "team" here refers to a group of players working together in a sports context.

Let me check the two senses:
1. "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" - This fits perfectly as it's talking about a sports team (football/soccer)
2. "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something" - This refers to animals like horses pulling wagons, which doesn't apply here

The correct sense is 1.

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

Sentence: Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic <t>amounts</t> the implied players.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity of money | examples=he borrowed a large sum
2. definition=the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion | examples=an adequate amount of food for four people
3. definition=how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify
4. definition=a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers

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

The sentence states: "...and with different economic <t>amounts</t> the implied players."

In this context, "amounts" refers to economic/financial penalties or fines given to different players. The committee is sanctioning players with "different economic amounts."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a quantity of money" - This fits because the sentence specifically says "economic amounts" which clearly refers to monetary quantities/fines.

2. "the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion" - While this could technically apply to any quantity being measured, it's more abstract and less specific than sense 1.

3. "how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify" - This is a general definition of amount that could apply to many things.

4. "a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers" - This specifically refers to a sum, which doesn't seem to be what's meant here. The amounts are separate penalties, not a sum.

The most precise sense is #1 because:
- The sentence explicitly says "economic amounts"
- These are monetary penalties/fines
- "a quantity of money" directly matches this usage

The answer is 1.

Sentence: Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied <t>players</t>.

Senses:

2. definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)
3. definition=a theatrical performer

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 understand which sense of "player" is being used.

The sentence is: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."

This is about UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) disciplining people for violations. The context mentions:
- A trainer/coach (Jose Mourinho)
- Players who were involved in some incident that warranted discipline

The sentence is talking about soccer/football players who are part of a sports team and are receiving sanctions from UEFA.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" - This fits perfectly. The players are participants in the game of football/soccer.

2. "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" - This doesn't fit the context.

3. "a theatrical performer" - This doesn't fit the context.

4. "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously" - This doesn't fit the context.

5. "an important participant (as in a business deal)" - While players could be considered important participants, the primary meaning here is sports players, not business participants.

The correct sense is **1** - a person who participates in or is skilled at some game.

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

Sentence: The <t>provocation</t> of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football.

Senses:
1. definition=unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment
2. definition=something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action
3. definition=needed encouragement | examples=the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

Here, "provocation of a yellow card" seems to be talking about something that causes or brings about a yellow card. It's referring to an act or behavior that provokes or causes (results in) a yellow card.

Let me check each sense:

1. "unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment" - This is about behavior that causes emotional reactions. While a provocation of a yellow card might involve such behavior, the definition itself is focused on causing anger/resentment, not just being a cause of something in general.

2. "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action" - This is about something that incites or provokes action. In the context of the sentence, "provocation of a yellow card" means something that provokes/causes/brings about a yellow card, which fits this definition well.

3. "needed encouragement" with examples about "provocation of vigorous investigation" - This is about something that encourages or stimulates something else. The example given "provocation of vigorous investigation" is similar to "provocation of a yellow card" - something that brings about or causes something else.

Actually, looking more carefully at senses 2 and 3:
- Sense 2: "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action"
- Sense 3: "needed encouragement" with example "provocation of vigorous investigation"

In the sentence, "provocation of a yellow card" means something that causes/brings about a yellow card. This is similar to "provocation of vigorous investigation" - it's about something that causes or brings about a result.

Both 2 and 3 seem related. But sense 3 has the exact example pattern: "provocation of X" meaning something that causes X.

The third definition fits best because it directly parallels the structure in the sentence—both involve something that stimulates or brings about a particular outcome.

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

Sentence: The provocation of a yellow card in similar <t>circumstances</t> as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football.

Senses:
1. definition=a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity
2. definition=the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event | examples=the historical context
3. definition=information that should be kept in mind when making a decision | examples=another consideration is the time it would take
4. definition=formal ceremony about important occasions | examples=pomp and circumstance

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence and the word "circumstances" to determine which sense is being used.

Sentence: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar <t>circumstances</t> as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

In this context, "circumstances" refers to the conditions or situations (like the type of foul, the match situation, etc.) that are similar to the current one. The word is describing the conditions that accompany or influence the event of receiving a yellow card.

Let me check each sense:

1. "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity" - This fits well. The sentence is saying that in similar conditions/situations as this one, a yellow card is provoked frequently. The circumstances (conditions) accompany or influence the event of getting a yellow card.

2. "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event" - This is similar to sense 1 but emphasizes the "set of facts" aspect. This could also work, but sense 1 seems more direct.

3. "information that should be kept in mind when making a decision" - This doesn't fit as well. The sentence isn't about information needed for a decision.

4. "formal ceremony about important occasions" - This doesn't fit at all. The sentence is about football, not ceremony.

Between 1 and 2, sense 1 seems more accurate because it emphasizes "a condition that accompanies or influences some event" which is exactly how "circumstances" is used here - describing the conditions under which a yellow card is provoked.

The answer is: 1

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

Sentence: The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new <t>practice</t>, but rather frequent in the world of football.

Senses:
1. definition=a customary way of operation or behavior | examples=it is their practice to give annual raises
2. definition=systematic training by multiple repetitions | examples=practice makes perfect
3. definition=translating an idea into action | examples=a hard theory to put into practice
4. definition=the exercise of a profession | examples=the practice of the law
5. definition=knowledge of how something is usually done | examples=it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the sentence: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new <t>practice</t>, but rather frequent in the world of football."

The sentence is saying that provoking a yellow card is not a new customary way of doing things in football, but rather something that happens frequently.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "a customary way of operation or behavior" - This fits. The sentence is saying it's a customary or habitual way things are done in football.

2. "systematic training by multiple repetitions" - This doesn't fit. The sentence isn't about training or repetition in that sense.

3. "translating an idea into action" - This doesn't fit. It's not about putting theory into practice.

4. "the exercise of a profession" - This doesn't fit. It's not about the profession of football itself.

5. "knowledge of how something is usually done" - This could fit, but it's more about knowing what is usually done rather than the actual doing of it.

The best fit is sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior" because the sentence is describing that provoking yellow cards is a customary/habitual practice in football - it's a way that players and teams operate in certain circumstances.
