Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same <t>rules</t> that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "rules" in the context. The context is about ethics rules governing justices. The phrase "ethics rules" and "abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges" indicates prescribed guides for conduct. Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" fits perfectly. Sense 1 also says "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" but sense 3 is more specific to prescribed guides. The context explicitly mentions "Code of Conduct" and "ethics rules", so sense 3 is best. Sense 2 is about normative example, not fitting. Sense 8 is for games, not relevant. So answer: 3.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "president" in context: "said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause." Common Cause is an organization (a non-profit advocacy group). The phrase "the president of Common Cause" indicates that Bob Edgar holds the position of president of that organization, meaning he is the chief executive or presiding officer of that organization. Among the candidate senses, sense 4 (sense_key=president%1:18:03::) is "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization" with synonyms chairperson, etc. Sense 1 is for an executive officer of a firm or corporation, but Common Cause is a non-profit organization, not a firm or corporation. Sense 2 and 6 refer specifically to the US head of state, which is not the case here. Sense 3 is "the chief executive of a republic" which is also not appropriate. Sense 5 is for a college or university. So the best fit is sense 4. The example given for sense 4 says "address your remarks to the chairperson," which aligns with a presiding officer. But note: "president" can also be the head of an organization. In WordNet, "president" in sense 4 is defined as "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization" which fits the role of president of Common Cause. There is also sense 1 for a firm or corporation, but Common Cause is not a firm. So sense 4 is correct. The sense index is 4.

The target surface form is "justices", plural. The context refers to justices of the Supreme Court (Scalia and Thomas are mentioned). So the sense is "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice", which is sense 3. Sense 1 is "the quality of being just", sense 2 is "judgment involved in determination of rights", sense 4 is "Department of Justice". So clearly sense 3.

Also, "their appearance and assistance in fundraising" refers to the event. So sense 2 is correct. Output JSON with sense_index 2.

We are given the target lemma "case" with surface form "cases" in the context: "attorneys who have pending cases before the court". The context is about legal proceedings, specifically lawsuits or legal matters before the court. Among the candidate senses, sense 3 is: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" with synonyms lawsuit, suit, cause, causa. This fits perfectly: the attorneys have pending lawsuits/cases before the court. The other senses do not fit as well: sense 1 (occurrence) is too general, sense 2 (special set of circumstances) might apply but not as specific, sense 4 (actual state of things) doesn't fit, etc. So the best sense is index 3.

Thus output: {"sense_index": 3}

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "court" in the given context. The context is about justices attending a fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court. The "court" here refers to the judicial body, specifically the Supreme Court or a similar tribunal. Among the options, sense 1 ("an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business") and sense 8 ("a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws") are similar. Sense 8 seems more specific to a law court. The context mentions "justices" and "pending cases before the court," so it's clearly a judicial court. Sense 1 is broader (assembly to conduct judicial business) but sense 8 is more precise. However, sense 1 includes synonyms tribunal, judicature, which fits. The example in sense 8 is not given. I think both are plausible, but we need to pick the single best indexed sense. Typically, the WordNet sense for a court as an institution is often sense 8. But let's check the gloss: sense 1 is "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" and sense 8 is "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws." The context says "pending cases before the court" - that is a court of law. Also, the earlier part mentions "the court abides by the same rules." I lean towards sense 8. However, sense 1 is more general and could also apply. But note that in WordNet, sense 1 (court%1:14:00) is labeled as "tribunal, judicature" and sense 8 (court%1:06:05) is "lawcourt, court of law, court of justice." The context is about the US Supreme Court, which is a court of law. Also, the phrase "before the court" is typical for a tribunal. I think sense 8 is better because it explicitly mentions a tribunal that administers justice. Sense 1 is more about the assembly itself. I'll go with sense 8. Therefore, the answer is {"sense_index": 8}.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "appearance" in the context. The sentence: "Their <t>appearance</t> and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality..." Here, "appearance" refers to their physical presence at the event. They attended the fundraiser. Sense 1: "outward or visible aspect" is about how someone looks, not about being present. Sense 2: "the event of coming into sight" - this could be about appearing, but more about the moment of coming into sight. Sense 3: "formal attendance (in court or at a hearing)" - this is specific to legal contexts, but here it's a fundraiser, not a court hearing. Sense 4: "a mental representation" - not relevant. Sense 5: "the act of appearing in public view" - this fits well: they appeared in public at the fundraiser. The example: "the rookie made a brief appearance in the first period" shows it's about being present. Sense 6: "pretending that something is the case" - not about their physical presence but about keeping up appearances; but the context says "appearance and assistance" meaning their actual presence and help. So sense 5 is best. However, note that sense 5 is "the act of appearing in public view" and includes examples like "made a brief appearance". That matches. Sense 3 is too specific to court appearances. So answer should be sense_index 5.

2. sense_key=assistance%1:07:00:: | definition=a resource | synonyms=aid, help | examples=visual aids in teaching

The context says "Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event..." The word "assistance" here refers to them helping or contributing to the fundraising event. It is an activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need (the fundraising need). This matches sense 1, which is about 'the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need'. Sense 2 is about "a resource" like visual aids, which doesn't fit. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}. But note: the instruction says "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key" and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}". That is an example format, but we need to output the actual sense index. So we output {"sense_index": 1}.

Target lemma: event
Target surface form: event
Context:
In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this <t>event</t> undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable. Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content: We need to determine the correct sense of "event" in the given context. The sentence: "Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this <t>event</t> undercuts any claims of impartiality..." The event refers to a fundraising event, a special occasion like a black-tie fundraiser. This aligns with sense 1: "something that happens at a given place and time" - a generic happening. Sense 2 is "a special set of circumstances" (like a case), but that's more conditional. Sense 3 is physics-related, sense 4 is consequence. Clearly sense 1 fits best. So sense_index is 1.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "claims" in two places in the text. The context is about justices' impartiality and ethics. The phrase "undercuts any claims of impartiality" and "belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules..." The word "claims" here refers to assertions that something is true or factual. Specifically, the justices are asserting that the court follows the same rules. So it's an assertion that something is true. That matches sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual". The examples given include "his claim that he was innocent" and "evidence contradicted the government's claims". This fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about a right to money/property, sense 3 is about demand for something as rightful or due, sense 4 and 5 are about rights, sense 6 is a demand in phrase "call of duty". None of these fit. So the correct sense index is 2.

We need to choose the best sense for "regard" in the context: "Scalia and Thomas have shown little <t>regard</t> for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

Here, "little regard" means they show little respect or consideration for critics. The sense that fits is "an attitude of admiration or esteem" or "the condition of being honored" but note the phrase "shown little regard for critics" means they do not respect or pay attention to critics. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. detail/point - not fitting.
2. paying particular notice (heed) - close, but "heed" is more about attention, but here it's about respect/consideration.
3. polite expression - not.
4. long fixed look - not.
5. condition of being honored - "a man who has earned high regard" - but here it's about showing regard for others, not being regarded.
6. feeling of friendship and esteem - "she mistook his manly regard for love" - could work, but "regard" as esteem.
7. attitude of admiration or esteem - "she lost all respect for him" - this seems most appropriate. "Little regard" means little respect or esteem.

Sense 7 has synonyms respect, esteem. Sense 6 also has respect but includes friendship. Sense 5 is about being honored, not showing honor. So sense 7 is best: "an attitude of admiration or esteem". In the context, they show little regard (little admiration/esteem) for critics.

Thus sense index 7.

We need to choose the best sense for "business" in the context: "Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

Here, "business of the court" refers to the proper work or activities of the court. The phrase "mix the business of the court" suggests the principal activity or function of the court. Among senses:

1. commercial enterprise - not applicable.
2. commercial activity - not directly.
3. principal activity in your life to earn money - but here it's about the court's function, not earning money.
4. rightful concern or responsibility - this fits: "business of the court" means the court's proper concerns/responsibilities.
5. immediate objective - less fitting.
6. volume of commercial activity - no.
7. business concerns collectively - maybe but more commercial.
8. customers collectively - no.
9. incidental activity - no.

Sense 4 ("a rightful concern or responsibility") matches well. Example: "it's none of your business" uses similar sense. So sense_index 4.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 4}

We need to determine the correct sense of "court" in the given context. The context is about the Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas) and their involvement with law firms and fundraising. The sentence: "Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable. Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the <t>court</t> with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society."

Here, "the court" refers to the Supreme Court, which is a judicial body. Candidate sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" with synonyms tribunal, judicature. Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" with synonyms lawcourt, court of law, court of justice. Both are similar. However, sense 1 is more general, while sense 8 is more specific to a lawcourt. The context is about the Supreme Court as a whole, not just a courtroom. Also, senses 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 are clearly not appropriate. The best is sense 1 because it refers to the assembly of judges. Sense 8 is also plausible but sense 1 is broader and fits the institutional meaning. The examples in the context refer to "the court" as an entity. Typically, WordNet sense 1 is for the court as an institution. I'll choose sense 1.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

10. sense_key=issue%1:06:00:: | an opening that permits escape or release (exit)
11. sense_key=issue%1:04:00:: | the act of issuing printed materials (publication)

In the context, "ethical issue" clearly refers to a problem or matter of concern. Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" fits well because it is an ethical question in dispute. Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" is more general, but the context is about a dispute. The example for sense 1 includes "politicians never discuss the real issues" which aligns with ethical issues. Sense 3's examples: "he kept drifting off the topic" is more about a topic of conversation. Here, "ethical issue" is a problem that needs to be addressed, not just a topic. Therefore, sense 1 is more precise.

Thus, the best sense index is 1.

Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups such as the Federalist Society.

raw_output:
We are given: "Kagan served as solicitor general in the Obama <t>administration</t> when the first legal challenges to the law were brought at the trial court level." This is about the Obama administration, the period when Obama was president. The candidate senses:
1. administration%1:04:00:: - a method of tending to or managing the affairs of a some group of people (especially the group's business affairs) - synonyms: disposal. This is about management, not specific to a presidential term.
2. administration%1:14:00:: - the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something - synonyms: governance, governing body, establishment, brass, organization, organisation. This refers to the group of people in charge, like "the present administration is corrupt" - could mean the executive branch.
3. administration%1:04:01:: - the act of administering medication - not relevant.
4. administration%1:28:00:: - the tenure of a president - synonyms: presidency, presidential term - examples: things were quiet during the Eisenhower administration. This directly refers to the period of a president's term.
5. administration%1:04:04:: - the act of governing; exercising authority - synonyms: government, governing, governance, government activity - examples: regulations for the governing of state prisons; he had considerable experience of government. This is more about the act of governing.
6. administration%1:04:02:: - the act of meting out justice according to the law - synonyms: judicature - not relevant.

In context, "Obama administration" refers to the period when Obama was president, i.e., his tenure. Sense 4 (administration%1:28:00::) is specifically "the tenure of a president" with example "things were quiet during the Eisenhower administration". That matches. Sense 2 could also refer to the group of people, but the phrase "Obama administration" typically refers to the period or the executive branch under Obama. However, the example given for sense 2 is "he claims that the present administration is corrupt" - that might refer to the governing body. But in this context, it's about the time when Kagan served as solicitor general, which was during Obama's presidency. So sense 4 is best.

Thus, the best sense is index 4. But note: the instruction says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}". So we need to output the sense_index number. The candidate senses are numbered 1 to 6. So sense_index should be 4. However, check the list: the first sense is labeled "1", second "2", etc. So answer: {"sense_index": 4}.{"sense_index": 4"}

reasoning_content: We need to determine the correct sense of "law" in the context. The context: "when the first legal challenges to the <t>law</t> were brought at the trial court level." Here, "law" refers to a specific piece of legislation or legal rule that was challenged. That matches sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" with example "there is a law against kidnapping." Sense 1 is the abstract collection of rules, sense 3 is natural law, sense 4 is law of nature, sense 5 is legal philosophy, sense 6 is the profession, sense 7 is police. The context clearly points to a specific law being challenged, so sense 2 is correct. Thus response: {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "level" in the context: "when the first legal challenges to the law were brought at the trial court <t>level</t>." The phrase "trial court level" refers to a specific stage or tier within the judicial system. This aligns with sense 2: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" (grade, tier) or sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series" (degree, stage, point). Sense 2 emphasizes graded groups (like lumber grades), while sense 3 emphasizes positions in a series or process. The trial court is a specific stage in the legal process, so sense 3 seems more precise: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series." Sense 1 is about intensity/amount/quality, not fitting. Other senses like height, spirit level, etc., are not relevant. Thus, best sense is index 3.

The target word "case" refers to a legal proceeding, specifically the legal challenges to the law mentioned earlier.

This matches sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" with synonyms lawsuit, suit, cause, causa.

Here, "defending the law" refers to the legal challenges brought against the law (the Affordable Care Act or similar). The context is about a specific law (the health care law) that was challenged in court. So it's a specific legal document or statute. Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" with example "there is a law against kidnapping" fits. The sense 1 is general collection of rules, but here it's a specific law being defended. So sense_index 2 is correct.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "familiarity" in the context. The context: "The familiarity of the Spanish is higher than that of the Ticos Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international games." This seems to be about the Spanish national team (players) having more familiarity (experience, acquaintance) compared to Ticos (Costa Ricans). It's about personal knowledge or experience? Actually "familiarity" here likely means how well-known or experienced they are - but WordNet senses: 1 is personal knowledge or information, 2 is usualness by virtue of being familiar, 3 is close friendship, 4 casual manner, 5 undue intimacy. The context talks about international games count, so it's about experience and familiarity with playing for the national team. That aligns with sense 1: personal knowledge or information about someone or something. Sense 2 is about usualness but more general. Sense 1 has synonyms like acquaintance, conversance. So sense 1 seems best. The sentence says "familiarity of the Spanish" meaning the Spanish players' level of familiarity (with international play). So sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given: "The familiarity of the Spanish is higher than that of the Ticos Of the 22 players called in Spain, ten passed 50 international <t>games</t>. On the side of Costa Rica only one of 22 called players reached 50 games."

The target word is "games" (plural of game). Context is about international soccer matches. Players have played in international games. So "games" here refers to individual matches or contests. Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner" which is also possible but sense 2 is more specific to a single play. The examples: "the game lasted two hours" matches. So sense_index 2.
