Target lemma: love
Target surface form: love
Context:
In races for the White House, a voter's incentive, at the margin, is to lean Republican. Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits. The individual voter's standing consequently will be enhanced through lower taxes. While this theory is exceedingly simple, it appears to explain several things. First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally <t>love</t> their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "love" in the context: "voters ... generally love their own congressional representatives". The context is about holding Congress in disdain but loving their own representatives. This is not about romantic love or sexual intercourse. It is about having a great affection or liking for (sense 1) or getting pleasure from (sense 2). The phrase "love their own congressional representatives" means they have a strong liking or fondness for them, not necessarily that they enjoy them as an activity. Sense 1: "have a great affection or liking for" fits well. Sense 2: "get pleasure from" is more about activities like cooking. Here, it's about people. So sense 1 is best.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "individual" in the context. The context is about voters, legislators, etc. The phrase "any <t>individual</t> legislator's constituents" refers to a single legislator, as opposed to all legislators collectively. The word "individual" here modifies "legislator" meaning each specific one. Looking at the senses:

1. "being or characteristic of a single thing or person" - synonyms: single. Example: individual drops of rain. This seems general, but in context it's about a single legislator.
2. "separate and distinct from others of the same kind" - synonyms: case-by-case, item-by-item. Examples: mark the individual pages; on a case-by-case basis. This emphasizes distinction from others. In context, it's about each legislator being separate, but the focus is on the specific legislator's constituency.
3. "characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing" - synonyms: single. Example: an individual serving; single occupancy. This is about being for one person. In context, "individual legislator" means one legislator, and the benefits are for that particular legislator's constituents. This fits well.
4. "concerning one person exclusively" - synonyms: private. Example: we all have individual cars; each room has a private bath. This emphasizes exclusivity. But in context, it's not about privacy but about being one specific person.

The best fit is sense 1 or 3? Sense 1 says "characteristic of a single thing or person" and sense 3 says "characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing". They are very similar. But sense 3 has example "an individual serving" which is like a serving for one person. In context, "individual legislator" means a single legislator, so sense 3 is more specific to being for one person. However, sense 1 also works. Let's see the distinctions: sense 1 is "being or characteristic of a single thing or person" which is more general. sense 3 is "characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing" which emphasizes that it's intended for one. In the sentence, "any individual legislator's constituents" - the word "individual" is used to emphasize that it's each specific legislator, not the whole group. So it's about being a single person, not necessarily about being intended for one. I think sense 1 is broader and fits. But also note the example "individual drops of rain" - that's like each drop. So sense 1 is appropriate.

Sense 2 is more about distinctness from others, which might also apply but the phrase "individual legislator" is often used to mean "each" or "particular" legislator. In the context, it says "Any individual legislator's constituents..." meaning each specific one. So it's about being a single entity, not necessarily separate from others in the sense of case-by-case. But "case-by-case" could apply? Actually, the example "mark the individual pages" means each page separately. That could be similar. However, sense 2 has "separate and distinct from others of the same kind" - that emphasizes that each legislator is separate, but the sentence is about "any individual" meaning "any single" legislator. I think sense 1 is more straightforward.

Let's look at the context more: "Any <t>individual</t> legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost..." This is about each legislator being considered individually. So the sense is "single" as in one. So sense 1 or 3? Sense 3 says "characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing" - that could be interpreted as "meant for a single person" but here it's about the legislator himself, not the benefit being meant for one. The benefits are for his constituents, but the legislator is a single person. So it's more about the legislator being a single entity. I lean towards sense 1.

But also note that sense 1 has synonym "single" and example "individual drops of rain" - that's exactly like each drop. So I think sense 1 is best.

However, sense 5 (not listed) but we have only 4. I'll go with sense 1.

The instruction says "Do not hedge." So I must choose. Also, return only JSON with sense_index.

Let me double-check: The target word is "individual" as an adjective. All senses are adjective. In context, it's an adjective modifying "legislator". So sense 1 seems most appropriate.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are given the target lemma "constituent" with surface form "constituents" in context: "Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

The context clearly refers to people who are represented by a legislator, i.e., the voters in a district. This matches sense 2: "a member of a constituency; a citizen who is represented in a government by officials for whom he or she votes." The example given for sense 2 is "needs continued support by constituents to be re-elected," which aligns with the context.

The other senses refer to parts of a system (sense 1), mathematical part-whole (sense 3), grammar (sense 4), or abstract part (sense 5), none of which fit.

Thus, the best sense is sense 2.

The constituents recognize the benefits and are grateful for them. That matches sense 1: "recognize with gratitude; be grateful for". Sense 2 is about being fully aware of something (realize fully), but here it's more about gratitude. Sense 3 is "hold dear" like prize, value - that could also fit but the examples show "prize these old photographs", whereas here it's about specific benefits, likely gratitude. Sense 4 and 5 are about value increase. So sense 1 is best.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output: We are asked to choose the best sense for "specific" in the given context. The context talks about "specific benefits" that a legislator wins for their constituents. The benefits are particular to that legislator's district, not general. So it's about something that is particular or special, as opposed to general. Sense 1: "applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique" with examples like "rules with specific application; demands specific to the job" fits well. Sense 2 is "stated explicitly or in detail" which is more about being precise, not necessarily about being particular. Sense 3 is about taxonomic species, not applicable. Sense 4 is about disease or stains. So sense 1 is best. The context: "the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them" means benefits that are particular to that legislator's constituents. So sense 1. Return JSON with sense_index 1.{"sense_index": 1}

Sense 2 is "something that aids or promotes well-being" with synonym "welfare" and example "for the benefit of all". This sense is broader and fits well: local benefits that aid the district. Sense 3 is "a performance to raise money for a charitable cause" - not relevant. So sense 2 is best.

The target word is "overall" modifying "cost". The two candidate senses are:
1. overall (involving only main features)
2. overall (including everything)

In context, "overall cost" refers to the total cost resulting from all legislators bringing benefits to their own constituencies. This is the sum total, not just the main features. The example for sense 2 is "the overall cost", which matches directly. Sense 1 is more about a general pattern without details, like "the overall pattern of his life." Here, the cost is comprehensive. So sense 2 is correct.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

The individual voter's standing consequently will be enhanced through lower taxes. While this theory is exceedingly simple, it appears to explain several things. First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall <t>cost</t> associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "cost" in a context about voters and government benefits. The sentence: "Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency." Here, "cost" refers to the negative consequences or burdens that come from all legislators bringing benefits to their own districts, such as increased taxes or reduced national efficiency. It is not a monetary price but a metaphorical cost involving trade-offs.

Looking at the senses:
1. sense 1: "the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor" - This is too literal and monetary.
2. sense 2: "the property of having material worth (often indicated by the amount of money something would bring if sold)" - This is about monetary value, not appropriate.
3. sense 3: "value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something" - This fits the context of a cost as a sacrifice or negative consequence, e.g., "the cost in human life was enormous" or "the price of success is hard work". It aligns with the idea of overall cost associated with every legislator's actions.

Thus, sense 3 is the best choice.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "other" in the context: "the overall cost associated with every <t>other</t> legislator doing likewise for his own constituency." The word "other" here means "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" - it refers to legislators other than the one being discussed. Sense 1 matches this usage: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied". The example includes "the construction of highways and other public works" which shows a similar usage. Sense 2 is "recently past" (the other evening) not applicable. Sense 3 is "belonging to the distant past" not applicable. Sense 4 is "very unusual; different in character or quality" not applicable. So sense 1 is correct. The JSON should have sense_index as 1.

We need to choose the best sense for "doing" in the sentence: "Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

Here, "doing likewise" means performing the same action: winning specific benefits for their own constituency. The phrase "doing likewise" implies carrying out the same activity. Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. "engage in" – too general, but "engage in" winning benefits? Possibly.
2. "carry out or perform an action" – synonyms perform, execute. This fits well: performing the action of winning benefits.
3. "get (something) done" – synonyms perform. Could fit, but more about completing a task.
4. "proceed or get along" – not relevant.
5. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" – could fit if the legislator causes benefits, but "doing likewise" is more about performing the same action.
6. "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions" – practice law, but here it's not a profession per se.
7. "be sufficient" – no.
8. "create or design" – not relevant.
9. "behave in a certain manner" – act, behave. "Doing likewise" can mean behaving similarly, but more about actions.
10. "spend time in prison" – no.
11. "carry on or function" – we could do with help, not here.
12. "arrange attractively" – no.
13. "travel or traverse" – no.

The best fit is sense 2: "carry out or perform an action". The example sentences given for sense 2 include "John did the painting, the weeding..." which is similar in structure. Also sense 1 "engage in" is close, but sense 2 explicitly mentions perform an action, and "doing likewise" is performing the same action.

Sense 3 "get (something) done" might also work, but sense 2 seems more precise for "do likewise" where the action is not necessarily a single task but a class of actions. The context: "every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency" means each legislator performs the same type of action (winning benefits). I lean towards sense 2.

Let's check the WordNet sense key: do%2:36:01:: for sense 2. The definition: "carry out or perform an action". Yes.

Thus, sense index 2

We are given the target lemma 'national' in the context: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to <t>national</t> policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."

The candidate senses are listed. We need to choose the best indexed sense.

Let's examine the context: It talks about legislators paying too much attention to "national" policy making as opposed to local benefit-seeking. The contrast is between national and local. So 'national' here means pertaining to the entire nation/country, as opposed to local/regional.

Look at sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" with examples "the national government; national elections". This fits well because it's about policy making at the national level, i.e., for the whole country.

Sense 2: "limited to or in the interests of a particular nation" - that might work, but it emphasizes "limited to" which suggests isolationism; the context is about policy making that is nation-wide rather than local.

Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" is general, but sense 3 is more specific to "entire nation".

Sense 4: owned by national government - doesn't fit.

Sense 5: inside the country - not exactly the contrast.

Sense 6: characteristic of people - not.

Sense 7: relating to nationality - not.

Therefore, sense 3 is best.

We are given a target lemma "policy" in context. The context discusses national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking, and mentions legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making. The context is about government actions and plans, not about insurance contracts. The best sense is clearly sense 1 or 2. Sense 1 is "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" and sense 2 is "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". Both could apply, but the context specifically mentions "national policy making" which is about government actions. However, sense 2 seems more specific to government rationalization, while sense 1 is broader. The examples for sense 1 include "a politician keeps changing his policies" which fits. The context is about legislators and national policy, so sense 1 or 2 both fit. But note: sense 2 is defined as "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" which is more about the reasoning behind policy, whereas the context just says "national policy making" which likely refers to the plans themselves. Also, sense 1 includes "plan of action adopted by an individual or social group" and the "social group" could be a government. Given the examples, sense 1 seems more appropriate. However, we should consider the fine-grained distinction. In many WSD tasks, "policy" in political contexts is often sense 1. Sense 2 is more about the rationalization line of argument. The context does not emphasize rationalization but rather the act of making policy. So I think sense 1 is best. But let's double-check: The sentence says "legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking". "Policy making" refers to the process of creating policies, so the plan of action sense fits. I'll choose sense 1.

Thus output: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We are given a sentence: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office." The target word is "relative". The context compares national policy making to local benefit-seeking. The phrase "relative to" indicates a comparison or proportion. The candidate senses: sense 1: "estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete" with example "a relative stranger"; sense 2: "properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to'" with example "earnings relative to production". The context uses "relative to" directly, meaning "in comparison to" or "in relation to". This matches sense 2 more closely because it is used with "to" and indicates a proportional relationship: paying too much attention to national policy making compared to local benefit-seeking. Sense 1 is more about something being relative in an absolute sense (like a relative stranger). So the best sense is sense 2. Thus answer: {"sense_index": 2

We are given the target lemma "local" in context. The context discusses "local benefits", "local benefit-seeking", and "local benefits" in the context of a voter's district/state. The candidate senses are:

1. relating to administration of a city/town/district (local taxes, local authorities)
2. of or belonging to a particular locality or neighborhood (local customs, local schools)
3. affecting only a restricted part or area of the body (local anesthesia)

Clearly, the context is about political districts and benefits for a specific locality. The phrase "local benefits" means benefits that are specific to a particular district or state, not national. This aligns with sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood". Sense 1 is more about administration, but the context is not specifically about administration but about the geographic specificity. The word "local" here modifies "benefits" and "benefit-seeking", which are characteristic of a particular locality. So sense 2 is appropriate.

Thus, the best sense index is 2.

Target lemma: have
Target surface form: have
Context:
Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits. The individual voter's standing consequently will be enhanced through lower taxes. While this theory is exceedingly simple, it appears to explain several things. First, why ticket splitting has increased and taken the peculiar pattern that it has over the past half century: Prior to the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president and the advent of the New Deal, government occupied a much smaller role in society and the prisoner's dilemma problem confronting voters in races for Congress was considerably less severe. Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency. Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking <t>have</t> lower security in office. For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "have" in the context: "the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office." The phrase "have lower security in office" means they possess or experience lower security. Looking at the senses, sense 3: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" with synonyms experience, receive, get. The idea is that legislators experience lower security. Sense 1 is about possession, but here it's about experiencing a state. Sense 2 is about features. Sense 4 is about ownership. Sense 5 is about causing movement. Etc. The most fitting is sense 3, as it's about experiencing a state (lower security). The example for sense 3 is "experience vertigo" which is similar to experiencing lower security. So answer should be sense_index 3.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "office" in the given context. The context discusses legislators and their security in office, referring to holding a political position. Let's examine the candidate senses:

Sense 1: place of business (physical location) - not relevant; it's about holding office, not a physical office.

Sense 2: an administrative unit of government - like an agency or bureau. Not relevant; the phrase "security in office" refers to holding a position, not an agency.

Sense 3: the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group (function, part, role). This could be close, but "security in office" is more about the position itself.

Sense 4: (of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power. This seems highly relevant. The example says "being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage; during his first year in office." The context says "lower security in office" meaning less secure in their position/power.

Sense 5: professional or clerical workers in an office (office staff). Not relevant.

Sense 6: a religious rite. Not relevant.

Sense 7: a job in an organization (position, post). This is also relevant. "Security in office" could mean security in their job/position. But sense 4 specifically emphasizes being in power, which aligns with political context. However, sense 7 is more general "job in an organization." The context is about legislators, which is a political office, so sense 4 seems more specific to government officials. Also, note that sense 4 says "holding an office means being in power" and the example uses "in office". The phrase "security in office" matches that.

Between sense 4 and sense 7, sense 4 is more specific to the political/governmental context of being in power. The gloss for sense 4: "(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power". That directly fits.

Thus, the best sense is sense 4.

Return JSON with sense_index 4.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "members" in the context: "first-term members of the House". The House refers to the U.S. House of Representatives. So these are individuals who are part of a social group (the House). Sense 1: "one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization)" fits perfectly. Sense 2 is for anything that belongs to a set or class, but here it's specifically persons. Sense 3 is body part, sense 4 is organization as member, sense 5 is penis. Clearly sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "vulnerable" fits best in the context. The context: "first-term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat." This refers to incumbents who are susceptible to being defeated in elections. That is about being susceptible to attack or harm, specifically political defeat. Sense 1: susceptible to attack (physical attack, like a bridge). Sense 2: susceptible to criticism or persuasion or temptation. Sense 3: capable of being wounded or hurt. The context is about incumbents who are likely to lose elections, i.e., they are susceptible to defeat. That aligns best with sense 1? Or sense 3? "Vulnerable parts of the body" are those that can be wounded. Political vulnerability is more like being susceptible to attack (electoral attack). But sense 1's example is "a vulnerable bridge" meaning easy to attack or destroy. Sense 2 is about criticism or persuasion, which could also apply, but the context is about being defeated, not about being persuaded. Sense 3 is about being wounded or hurt, which could metaphorically apply. However, the most common sense in political contexts is "susceptible to attack" (e.g., a vulnerable incumbent). Also note that the definition for sense 1 is "susceptible to attack" which fits well. The example "a vulnerable bridge" is about military attack; political attack is analogous. So sense 1 seems best. Let's check the others: sense 2 "vulnerable to bribery" is about being easily influenced; not applicable. Sense 3 "vulnerable parts of the body" is physical wounding. The context is about electoral defeat, not physical harm. So sense 1 is best. Therefore, output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "become" in the context: "first-term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat." Here, "become" indicates a change of state: they went from vulnerable to immune. This matches sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "go, get". Sense 2: "undergo a change or development" with synonym "turn" also fits, but the example "Her former friend became her worst enemy" is similar. However, sense 1 explicitly includes "enter or assume a certain state" which directly applies to becoming immune. Sense 2 emphasizes a process of change or development. The context is a change from one state to another, so both could work. But sense 1 has "get" as synonym, and "become annoyed" example is a state. Sense 2 example "water turned into ice" is a physical transformation. The context here is a change in status, which is more like entering a state. Also, sense 3 "come into existence" doesn't fit because immunity already exists. Sense 4 "enhance the appearance" doesn't fit. So the best is sense 1.

reasoning_content: We need to select the best sense for 'immune' in the context: "first-term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat." The word is used metaphorically: they are not susceptible to defeat, i.e., they are very likely to win re-election. This fits sense 2: "secure against" (immune from criminal prosecution) or sense 3: relating to immunity to disease, but here it's not about disease. Sense 4: "not affected by a given influence" - immune to persuasion. The context says "immune to defeat" which is similar to "secure against defeat". Sense 2 specifically says "secure against" and example "immune from criminal prosecution". Sense 4 says "unaffected" and example "immune to persuasion". Both could fit, but sense 2 has "secure against" which matches "immune to defeat" as being secure against defeat. Sense 4 is usually followed by 'to' and describes not being affected by an influence, which is also applicable. However, sense 2's definition "secure against" is more direct for "immune to defeat". Also, sense 2 is an adjective sense under exempt. Sense 3 is about disease immunity, not appropriate. Sense 1 is about the immune system. So best is sense 2. But the index numbers: 1,2,3,4. So answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.
