The sentence: "In every presidential <t>election</t> over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress." Here, "election" refers to the event or process of voting for a president. It is not about the act of choosing (sense 2), not about the status of being elected (sense 3), and not about religious predestination (sense 4). It is clearly sense 1: a vote to select the winner of a position or political office. The examples match: "the results of the election will be announced tonight." So answer is 1.

The sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The word "percentage" here refers to a proportion in relation to a whole (the major-party popular vote). It's not about assets or shares belonging to an individual. Sense 1 is "a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)". Sense 2 is about assets or shares. So sense 1 is correct.

Sentence: In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the <t>major</t> - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

We need to identify which sense of "major" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the <t>major</t> - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The phrase "major-party" is a compound adjective. Here "major" modifies "party" to indicate the two major political parties in the US (Democrats and Republicans). So "major-party" means the party that is one of the two main parties. The sense is about importance or rank: major parties are the parties of greater importance or stature. That aligns with sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank". The example "a major artist" shows similar usage. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular <t>vote</t> for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative | examples=there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion
2. definition=the opinion of a group as determined by voting | examples=they put the question to a vote

4. definition=a body of voters who have the same interests | examples=he failed to get the Black vote
5. definition=the total number of voters who participated | examples=they are expecting a large vote

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "vote" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular <t>vote</t> for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress." The phrase "major-party popular vote" refers to the total number of votes cast by the public for major-party candidates. It's about the aggregate of voters' choices. Sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated" fits because "popular vote" means the total number of votes cast. However, sense 1 is about a choice made by counting numbers, but here it's more about the collective total. Sense 2 is the opinion of a group, but again "popular vote" is the aggregate. Sense 3 is right to vote, not applicable. Sense 4 is a body of voters with same interests, but "popular vote" is not that. So the best is sense 5. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for <t>president</t> than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | examples=the President likes to jog every morning
3. definition=the chief executive of a republic
4. definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson
5. definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university
6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "president" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for <t>president</t> than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress." The word "president" appears in the context of "popular vote for president". This is referring to the office of the US head of state, i.e., the position of President of the United States. Among the senses, sense 2 is "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government" but note it says "the person" and examples include "the President likes to jog". Sense 6 is "the office of the United States head of state" with example "a President is elected every four years". The phrase "popular vote for president" likely refers to the office, not the person. However, careful: "popular vote for president" means the vote for the position of president. The word "president" here is used as the title or office. So sense 6 seems appropriate. Sense 2 is for the person, but the sentence is about the office (the vote for the office). Also, sense 3 is "the chief executive of a republic" which is generic, but the context is specifically US. Sense 6 is specific to US. So answer should be 6.

7. definition=the legal right to sit as a member in a legislative or similar body | examples=he was elected to a seat in the Senate
8. definition=a part of a machine that supports or guides another part
9. definition=the cloth covering for the buttocks | examples=the seat of his pants was worn through

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "seat" is used in the given sentence. The sentence mentions "congressional seats" and "the popular vote for Congress". In this context, "seats" refers to positions in Congress, i.e., the legal right to sit as a member in a legislative body. Sense 7 matches: "the legal right to sit as a member in a legislative or similar body" with example "he was elected to a seat in the Senate". So answer is 7.

The sentence: "In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress." The word appears twice: "popular vote" in both cases. The phrase "popular vote" refers to the vote by the people (citizens) as opposed to electoral college or other methods. That aligns with sense 2: "carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large". So answer is 2.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "vote" is used in the sentence: "the popular <t>vote</t> for Congress". The context: "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress." Here "popular vote" refers to the total number of votes cast by the general public (as opposed to the electoral college or other mechanisms). So it's about the total number of voters who participated. Sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated" with example "they are expecting a large vote". That matches. Sense 1 is about a single choice (count of votes), but here it's aggregate. Sense 2 is opinion as determined by voting, but "popular vote" is a quantity. Sense 3 is right to vote. Sense 4 is a body of voters. So answer is 5.

2. definition=a relation of direct opposition | examples=we thought Sue was older than Bill but just the reverse was true
3. definition=a contestant that you are matched against
4. definition=something inverted in sequence or character or effect | examples=when the direct approach failed he tried the inverse

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "opposite" is used in the sentence: "Prior to 1932, the pattern was nearly the opposite." The sentence refers to a pattern being opposite, meaning it is reversed or inverted in character or effect. Sense 4: "something inverted in sequence or character or effect" fits. Sense 2 is about direct opposition (like reverse), but sense 4 specifically mentions inverted in sequence or character. The example for sense 4: "when the direct approach failed he tried the inverse" aligns with pattern being opposite. So answer is 4.

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

Sentence: What accounts for the <t>results</t> of recent decades?

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem | examples=they were trying to find a peaceful solution
3. definition=something that results | examples=he listened for the results on the radio
4. definition=the semantic role of the noun phrase whose referent exists only by virtue of the activity denoted by the verb in the clause

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "result" is used in the sentence: "What accounts for the results of recent decades?" The word "results" here refers to outcomes or phenomena that have occurred over recent decades. Sense 1: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" fits well because the sentence asks what accounts for (causes) the results. Sense 2 is about a solution, not relevant. Sense 3: "something that results" is too vague, and the example "he listened for the results on the radio" might imply news or outcomes. But sense 1 specifically mentions "phenomenon that follows and is caused by" which matches the causal question. The phrase "accounts for" implies causation. Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

The senses given: 1: definition=new, examples=recent graduates. 2: definition=of the immediate past or just previous to the present time, examples=a late development.

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

Sentence: What accounts for the results of recent <t>decades</t>?

Senses:
1. definition=a period of 10 years
2. definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system

reasoning_content: We are given a sentence: "What accounts for the results of recent <t>decades</t>?" and we need to choose which numbered sense of "decade" is used. The senses are: 1. definition=a period of 10 years; 2. definition=the cardinal number that is the sum of nine and one; the base of the decimal system. The second sense is referring to the number 10 itself (like a decade is 10, but that's more of a mathematical sense). In context, "recent decades" likely refers to periods of ten years, not the number 10. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

The theory is described as "simple", likely meaning not complex, having few parts, or easy to understand. Sense 1: "having few parts; not complex or complicated or involved" fits. Sense 2: "easy and not involved or complicated" is similar but emphasizes ease. The theory is 'simple' in the sense of not being complicated, so sense 1 is appropriate. Sense 3: "apart from anything else; without additions" doesn't fit. Others don't fit. So answer is 1.

Sense 2 is about animals attracting attention, which does not fit. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The theory relies on three <t>assumptions</t>:

Senses:
1. definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn | examples=on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play
2. definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted | examples=any society is built upon certain assumptions
3. definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something | examples=his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba
4. definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's being taken up into heaven when her earthly life ended; corresponds to the Dormition in the Eastern Orthodox Church
5. definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary when her earthly life had ended
6. definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to | examples=he despised them for their presumptuousness
7. definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted | examples=your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted

reasoning_content: We need to match the sentence "The theory relies on three <t>assumptions</t>:" with one of the given senses. The word "assumptions" here refers to statements or premises that are taken as true for the theory. Sense 1 is "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn" – that fits. Sense 2 is "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" – also fits, but sense 1 is more precise for a theory. Sense 7 is "the act of assuming or taking for granted" – that is a different nuance, more about the act rather than the statement. The sentence refers to the assumptions themselves (plural), so likely sense 1 or 2. Among them, sense 1 explicitly mentions "from which a conclusion can be drawn" which aligns with a theory. Also, the example for sense 1: "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer..." is similar. So answer is 1.

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two <t>brands</t> when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=a name given to a product or service
2. definition=a recognizable kind | examples=there's a new brand of hero in the movies now
3. definition=identification mark on skin, made by burning
4. definition=a piece of wood that has been burned or is burning
5. definition=a symbol of disgrace or infamy; --Genesis | examples=And the Lord set a mark upon Cain
6. definition=a cutting or thrusting weapon that has a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "brand" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about "a Republican brand" and "a Democratic brand" as something voters can "buy" when selecting political agents. This is metaphorical; it's referring to a kind or type of political ideology or party. Sense 2 is "a recognizable kind" with example "there's a new brand of hero in the movies now". That fits perfectly. Sense 1 is a name given to a product or service, but here it's not a product name, it's a type. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their <t>political</t> agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=involving or characteristic of politics or parties or politicians; - Daniel Goleman | examples=calling a meeting is a political act in itself
2. definition=of or relating to your views about social relationships involving authority or power | examples=political opinions
3. definition=of or relating to the profession of governing | examples=political career

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "political" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Voters can 'buy' one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state... and a Democratic brand..." The phrase "political agents" refers to representatives or politicians. Sense 1: "involving or characteristic of politics or parties or politicians" fits because it's about selecting agents (politicians) related to parties. Sense 2: "of or relating to your views about social relationships involving authority or power" — that might be about opinions, but here it's about agents. Sense 3: "of or relating to the profession of governing" — that might also fit, but "political agents" are people in the profession. However, sense 1 explicitly mentions "parties or politicians". The example in sense 1 is "calling a meeting is a political act in itself" which is broader. But here, "political agents" means agents involved in politics. So sense 1 seems most direct. Answer: 1

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political <t>agents</t> -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=an active and efficient cause; capable of producing a certain effect | examples=their research uncovered new disease agents
2. definition=a representative who acts on behalf of other persons or organizations
3. definition=a substance that exerts some force or effect
4. definition=a businessman who buys or sells for another in exchange for a commission
5. definition=any agent or representative of a federal agency or bureau
6. definition=the semantic role of the animate entity that instigates or causes the happening denoted by the verb in the clause

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "agent" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about political agents, specifically voters selecting political agents that are brands (Republican or Democratic). The context is about representatives who act on behalf of others (voters) in the political process. Sense 2: "a representative who acts on behalf of other persons or organizations" fits perfectly. Senses 1 and 3 are about causes or substances, not human representatives. Sense 4 is about a businessman buying/selling for commission, which is not political. Sense 5 is about a federal agency representative, but here it's political parties, not necessarily federal bureaus. Sense 6 is a linguistic role. So correct sense is 2.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a <t>Republican</t> brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

The sentence says: "Voters can 'buy' one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a <t>Republican</t> brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand..." So here "Republican" is used as a political party label, referring to the Republican Party. Sense 1 is "relating to or belonging to the Republican Party". Sense 2 is about a republican form of government (small r). Clearly, the context is about political parties, not form of government. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican <t>brand</t> that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

3. definition=identification mark on skin, made by burning

5. definition=a symbol of disgrace or infamy; --Genesis | examples=And the Lord set a mark upon Cain
6. definition=a cutting or thrusting weapon that has a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "brand" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about two brands: Republican and Democratic, as political agents. It's not a product or service name (sense 1), not a recognizable kind (sense 2) might fit because it's a type of political ideology. But sense 2 says "a recognizable kind" with example "there's a new brand of hero". That seems appropriate. Sense 3 is a burn mark, sense 4 a piece of wood, sense 5 a symbol of disgrace, sense 6 a weapon. So sense 2 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the <t>minimalist</t> state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to artistic minimalism
2. definition=advocating minimal reforms (as in government or politics)

reasoning_content: We need to read the sentence. It describes a "minimalist state" in contrast to "big government". This is about political philosophy, not art. So sense 2 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist <t>state</t> and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=the territory occupied by one of the constituent administrative districts of a nation | examples=his state is in the deep south
2. definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes | examples=the current state of knowledge
3. definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state | examples=the state has lowered its income tax
4. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
5. definition=(chemistry) the three traditional states of matter are solids (fixed shape and volume) and liquids (fixed volume and shaped by the container) and gases (filling the container) | examples=the solid state of water is called ice
6. definition=a state of depression or agitation | examples=he was in such a state you just couldn't reason with him
7. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
8. definition=the federal department in the United States that sets and maintains foreign policies | examples=the Department of State was created in 1789

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "state" is used in the sentence. The sentence discusses political parties: Republican brand believes in minimalist state, Democratic brand believes in big government. The context is about the role of government. Sense 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" fits because it's about minimalist state (small government) vs big government. Sense 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" is similar but broader. However, "minimalist state" is a political philosophy about the size and role of government, so sense 3 or 4. Sense 1 refers to a constituent administrative district (like US states), not relevant. Sense 2 is general condition. Sense 5 chemistry, sense 6 depression, sense 7 territory, sense 8 US State Department. So the correct sense is 3 or 4? Let's read definitions: 3: "the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state" - that is the government itself. 4: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - that is the entire state as a political entity. In the sentence, "minimalist state" refers to a philosophy about the extent of government power, so likely the government itself. But "big government" is also about the government. Typically, "state" in political theory means the governing apparatus. Sense 3 is more directly "the government". Sense 4 is the entire political body including people. I think sense 3 is more appropriate. However, in common usage, "state" can mean the government. The example for sense 3: "the state has lowered its income tax" - that's the government action. The sentence says "believes in the minimalist state" - meaning believes in a small government. So I'll go with 3.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the <t>virtues</t> of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

1. definition=the quality of doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong
2. definition=any admirable quality or attribute | examples=work of great merit
3. definition=morality with respect to sexual relations
4. definition=a particular moral excellence

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "virtue" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about "the virtues of private markets" as opposed to "vices of public action". Here, "virtues" means the good qualities or advantages of private markets. This matches sense 2: "any admirable quality or attribute". Sense 1 is about moral righteousness, but here it's about beneficial aspects. Sense 3 is sexual, not relevant. Sense 4 is a particular moral excellence, but the context is about market efficiency, not moral excellence per se. So answer is 2.

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of <t>private</t> markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

2. definition=concerning things deeply private and personal | examples=private correspondence
3. definition=concerning one person exclusively | examples=we all have individual cars

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "private" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Voters can 'buy' one of two brands... a Republican brand that believes... in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action...". Here "private markets" refers to markets that are not controlled by the government, i.e., free markets. The sense is about something that is not public, belonging to individuals or private sector. Compare with definitions: 1: confined to particular persons or groups or providing privacy (e.g., a private place). 2: concerning things deeply private and personal (private correspondence). 3: concerning one person exclusively (we all have individual cars). 4: not expressed (secret thoughts). "Private markets" fits sense 1: confined to particular persons or groups (private sector) as opposed to public. It's not about personal secrets or individual exclusivity. So answer is 1.

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private <t>markets</t> over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

4. definition=the securities markets in the aggregate | examples=the market always frustrates the small investor
5. definition=an area in a town where a public mercantile establishment is set up

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "market" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about "private markets" in contrast to public action. It refers to the concept of markets as economic arenas where goods and services are exchanged, not a specific marketplace or customers. The context is about political beliefs: Republican brand believes in minimalist state and virtues of private markets over public action. This aligns with sense 1: the world of commercial activity. Sense 2 is for customers, sense 3 is a grocery market, sense 4 is securities markets, sense 5 is an area in a town. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the <t>vices</t> of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=moral weakness
2. definition=a specific form of evildoing | examples=vice offends the moral standards of the community

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "vice" is used in the sentence. The sentence says "the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action". Here, "vices" are contrasted with "virtues", implying moral failings or bad qualities. Sense 1 is "moral weakness", sense 2 is "a specific form of evildoing". Both are similar, but the context suggests general moral weakness rather than a specific evil act. The phrase "vices of public action" likely means the moral defects or bad aspects of public action. Sense 1 seems more fitting as a general term. However, sense 2 also works, but typically "vice" as a moral weakness is broader. The example for sense 2: "vice offends the moral standards" suggests a specific act. Given the contrast with "virtues", it's about moral failings. I think sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of <t>public</t> action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

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

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "public" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action". Here "public action" refers to action by the government or the state, as opposed to private markets. Sense 1 says "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole" with example "the public good". Sense 2 says "affecting the people or community as a whole" with example "community leaders". The context contrasts private markets with public action, meaning government intervention. That aligns with "concerning the people as a whole" (sense 1) rather than simply "affecting" (sense 2). In fact, "public action" is often used to mean governmental action. So the correct sense is 1

The context: "public action" is contrasted with private markets. It refers to actions taken by the government or public sector. The sense that fits best is "an act by a government body or supranational organization" (sense 9). The example given for sense 9 is "recent federal action undermined the segregationist position." That matches the idea of public action as government intervention. So answer is 9.

So it's sense 2: "belong to or relating to the Democratic Party". The example given is "Democratic senator". Therefore answer is 2

5. definition=a symbol of disgrace or infamy; --Genesis | examples=And the Lord set a mark upon Cain
6. definition=a cutting or thrusting weapon that has a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard

raw_output: We need to identify which sense of "brand" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about two brands: Republican and Democratic, as "brands" that voters can "buy" when selecting political agents. It's a metaphorical use, comparing political parties to products or brands. The sense given: "a name given to a product or service" (sense 1) is the literal commercial sense. But here it's used metaphorically: "a recognizable kind" (sense 2) fits better because it's about a type or category of political agent, similar to "a new brand of hero". The sentence says "a Republican brand that believes... and a Democratic <t>brand</t> that believes..." So it's a kind or type of political agent. Sense 2 says "a recognizable kind" with examples like "there's a new brand of hero". This matches the usage. Sense 1 is about a name given to a product or service, which is close but more directly commercial. However, the context is political, so it's a metaphorical extension. The question asks for the numbered sense. I need to output just the number. I think it's sense 2. Let's double-check: The sentence uses "brand" as in "a brand of" meaning a type or category. So sense 2 is correct. Answer: 2.2

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in <t>public</t> intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

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

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "public" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "public intervention". The context is about government intervention. Sense 1: "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole" with example "the public good". Sense 2: "affecting the people or community as a whole" with example "community leaders". The phrase "public intervention" likely means intervention by the government or the state, which is concerning the people as a whole. Both senses are similar, but sense 1 emphasizes "not private" and "concerning the people as a whole". Sense 2 emphasizes "affecting the people or community as a whole". In the sentence, "public intervention" is contrasted with "private markets", so it's about government action vs private action. That aligns with sense 1: not private. Also, the example "the public good" is similar. So sense 1 is correct.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public <t>intervention</t> to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of intervening (as to mediate a dispute, etc.) | examples=it occurs without human intervention
2. definition=a policy of intervening in the affairs of other countries
3. definition=the act or fact of interposing one thing between or among others
4. definition=(law) a proceeding that permits a person to enter into a lawsuit already in progress; admission of person not an original party to the suit so that person can protect some right or interest that is allegedly affected by the proceedings | examples=the purpose of intervention is to prevent unnecessary duplication of lawsuits
5. definition=care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "intervention" is used in the given sentence. The sentence says: "a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest." This refers to government action to correct market excesses. It is not about mediating a dispute (sense 1), foreign policy (sense 2), interposing (sense 3), legal proceeding (sense 4), or medical care (sense 5). The context is public intervention in economic or social affairs, which aligns with sense 1? Actually sense 1 says "the act of intervening (as to mediate a dispute, etc.)" but the example "it occurs without human intervention" suggests broader meaning. However, the definition includes "mediate a dispute" but is not limited to that. But more precisely, public intervention here means government taking action in the economy. That is a common usage. Sense 2 is specifically about foreign affairs. Sense 3 is physical interposing. Sense 4 is legal. Sense 5 is medical. So the best fit is sense 1, which is the general act of intervening. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to <t>remedy</t> the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=set straight or right | examples=remedy these deficiencies
2. definition=provide relief for | examples=remedy his illness

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "remedy" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest." The word "remedy" here means to correct or set right the excesses. Sense 1: "set straight or right" with example "remedy these deficiencies". Sense 2: "provide relief for" with example "remedy his illness". The excesses are like deficiencies or problems to be corrected, not a medical relief. So sense 1 is appropriate. Answer: 1

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the <t>excesses</t> attendant to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=a quantity much larger than is needed
2. definition=immoderation as a consequence of going beyond sufficient or permitted limits
3. definition=the state of being more than full
4. definition=excessive indulgence | examples=the child was spoiled by overindulgence

reasoning_content: We need to interpret the sentence: "public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the pursuit of private interest." Here "excesses" likely refers to undesirable or excessive behaviors or outcomes resulting from private interest, such as greed, exploitation, etc. This aligns with sense 2: immoderation as a consequence of going beyond sufficient or permitted limits. Sense 1 is a quantity too large, but here it's about actions. Sense 3 is about being more than full. Sense 4 is excessive indulgence. The context suggests remedying negative consequences of going too far. So answer is 2.

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

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses <t>attendant</t> to the pursuit of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=being present (at meeting or event etc.) | examples=attendant members of the congreation

The word "attendant" here means "accompanying" or "following as a consequence." So the excesses that accompany the pursuit of private interest. That matches sense 2: "following or accompanying as a consequence." Sense 1 is about being present at an event, which doesn't fit. So answer is 2.

Sentence: 1 -RRB- Voters can "buy "one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the <t>pursuit</t> of private interest.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of pursuing in an effort to overtake or capture | examples=the culprit started to run and the cop took off in pursuit
2. definition=a search for an alternative that meets cognitive criteria | examples=the pursuit of love
3. definition=an auxiliary activity
4. definition=a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts (usually pleasantly) | examples=sailing is her favorite pastime

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Voters can 'buy' one of two brands when they select their political agents -- a Republican brand that believes in the minimalist state and in the virtues of private markets over the vices of public action, and a Democratic brand that believes in big government and in public intervention to remedy the excesses attendant to the <t>pursuit</t> of private interest."

We need to determine which numbered sense of "pursuit" is used. The senses are:

1. definition=the act of pursuing in an effort to overtake or capture | examples=the culprit started to run and the cop took off in pursuit
2. definition=a search for an alternative that meets cognitive criteria | examples=the pursuit of love
3. definition=an auxiliary activity
4. definition=a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts (usually pleasantly) | examples=sailing is her favorite pastime

The phrase is "the pursuit of private interest." In context, it refers to the idea of individuals seeking their own private interests, often in economic or personal gain. This is a metaphorical pursuit, not a literal chase. It aligns with sense 2: "a search for an alternative that meets cognitive criteria" – though the example is "pursuit of love," which is a search for something. Private interest is something one seeks. Alternatively, sense 1 is a physical chase, which is not the case. Sense 3 is "an auxiliary activity" – not fitting. Sense 4 is a pleasant diversion, but "pursuit of private interest" is not necessarily a pleasant diversion; it's more of a goal. So sense 2 seems correct.

Thus answer is 2.

Sense 1 is about privacy or seclusion, sense 2 about personal/private matters, sense 4 about secret thoughts. The phrase "private interest" is commonly used to mean individual interest, exclusive to a person. So answer is 3.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "have" is used in the sentence: "Congressional representatives <t>have</t> two basic responsibilities while voting in office..." The sentence says they have two responsibilities. That means they possess or have these responsibilities. Look at the senses: 1. have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense. 2. have as a feature. 3. go through mental/physical states. 4. have ownership. 5. cause to move. 6. consume. 7. have a relationship. 8. organize. 9. have left. 10. be confronted with. 11. undergo. 12. suffer from. 13. cause to do. 14. receive willingly. 15. get something. 16. undergo injuries. 17. achieve a point. 18. cause to be born. 19. archaic sex.

"Have responsibilities" is an abstract possession. Sense 1 explicitly says "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" with example "She has $1,000 in the bank" (abstract? Actually money is concrete but the sense includes abstract). Sense 4 is about ownership of property. Responsibilities are not owned like property, but rather possessed. Sense 1 seems most appropriate. Also sense 2 "have as a feature" might fit but "feature" is more like characteristic, e.g., "the restaurant features chefs". Responsibilities are not a feature but something they have. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number: 1.

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

Sentence: 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic <t>responsibilities</t> while voting in office -- dealing with national issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-.

Senses:

3. definition=a form of trustworthiness; the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one's conduct | examples=he holds a position of great responsibility

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "responsibility" is used in the given sentence. The sentence says: "Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues ... and attending to local issues ...". Here, "responsibilities" refers to duties or tasks that they are expected to perform. Let's examine the senses:

1. "the social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force" - this is about a sense of duty, moral obligation. Example: "we must instill a sense of duty in our children". This is more about an internal feeling or moral force.

2. "the proper sphere or extent of your activities" - this is about the area or scope of one's activities. Example: "it was his province to take care of himself". This could fit as responsibilities as areas of activity.

3. "a form of trustworthiness; the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one's conduct" - this is about being accountable or reliable. Example: "he holds a position of great responsibility".

In the sentence, "responsibilities" are listed as two basic things: dealing with national issues and attending to local issues. These are duties or tasks that fall within their role. Sense 2 talks about "the proper sphere or extent of your activities", which matches well: the responsibilities are the spheres of activity (national and local). Sense 1 is more about a moral force, not specific tasks. Sense 3 is about trustworthiness or accountability, not the tasks themselves. So sense 2 is the best fit.

Thus answer: 2

The context: "voting" here refers to the act of casting votes on legislation, i.e., expressing their preference on measures. The sense is about casting a vote on a motion or resolution. Sense 1: "express one's preference for a candidate or for a measure or resolution; cast a vote" with example "He voted for the motion". This matches. Sense 2 is about voting a ticket (party line). Sense 3 is informal "I vote that..." Sense 4 is "vote one's conscience". Sense 5 is about voting to bring something into existence. So the correct sense is 1.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "office" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office". Here "in office" refers to holding a position of power, i.e., being in office as a representative. Sense 4 matches: "(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power" with example "being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage". So answer is 4.

11. definition=give out as one's portion or share
12. definition=give (a specific card) to a player | examples=He dealt me the Queen of Spades
13. definition=sell | examples=deal hashish

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "deal" is used in the sentence: "dealing with national issues". The context is about congressional representatives having responsibilities, one of which is "dealing with national issues". This means they handle or address national issues. Looking at the senses, sense 3: "take action with respect to (someone or something)" fits well. Also sense 7: "be in charge of, act on, or dispose of" could fit. But sense 3 is more directly "deal with" meaning to handle or address. The example for sense 3 is "How are we going to deal with this problem?" which matches the phrasing. Sense 7 also says "I can deal with this crew of workers" but that's more about managing people. The sentence says "dealing with national issues" which is like addressing or handling issues. So sense 3 is the best. Return only the number: 3.

Sentence: 2 -RRB- Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with <t>national</t> issues -LRB- programmatic actions such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large -RRB- and attending to local issues -LRB- constituency service and pork barrel -RRB-.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country | examples=national hero

6. definition=characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation | examples=a national trait
7. definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "national" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues ... and attending to local issues." The phrase "national issues" refers to issues that pertain to the entire nation, as opposed to local issues. Compare with senses: 1. of or relating to a nation or country (national hero) – too broad? 2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation – implies exclusivity, not fitting. 3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country – this seems apt: national issues are those applicable to the entire nation. 4. owned or maintained by national government – not applicable. 5. inside the country – not relevant. 6. characteristic of the people – no. 7. relating to nationality – no. So sense 3 is the best match. Answer: 3.

The word "issues" here refers to important questions or topics that need to be addressed, specifically national matters. That matches sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled." The other senses don't fit: not a periodical, not a supply, not descendants, etc. So answer is 1

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "action" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Congressional representatives have two basic responsibilities while voting in office -- dealing with national issues (programmatic <t>actions</t> such as casting roll call votes on legislation that imposes costs and/or confers benefits on the population at large) and attending to local issues (constituency service and pork barrel)."

The word "actions" here refers to specific deeds or things done, like casting roll call votes. It's not about activity, military engagement, natural process, plot, trait, mechanical part, legal proceeding, or most important work. It's about something done by government representatives. Sense 1 is "something done (usually as opposed to something said)". Sense 9 is "an act by a government body or supranational organization". The examples for sense 9: "recent federal action undermined the segregationist position". Here, "programmatic actions" are actions taken by congressional representatives, which are government officials. They are casting roll call votes, which is an act by a government body (Congress). So sense 9 seems appropriate. Sense 1 is more general. But the phrase "programmatic actions" in context of congressional responsibilities likely refers to actions taken as part of a program or policy, which aligns with government acts. Also, the sentence explicitly mentions "casting roll call votes on legislation" which is a formal government action. So sense 9 is the best fit.

Thus answer: 9.
