Target lemma: claim
Target surface form: claims
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 <t>claims</t> 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."

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "claims" in the given sentence: "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 target word is "claims" (plural noun). The context: Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause, says that the breach belies the justices' claims that the court follows the same rules as other federal judges. So "claims" here are assertions made by the justices that the court abides by the same rules. The claims are about something being true.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. claim%1:10:00:: - an assertion of a right (as to money or property). Example: his claim asked for damages. This doesn't fit; the justices are not asserting a right to something, they are asserting a fact (that the court abides by the rules).
2. claim%1:10:02:: - an assertion that something is true or factual. Example: his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims. This perfectly matches: the justices' claims that the court abides by the same rules are assertions that something is true. The example "government's claims" is similar to the justices' claims.
3. claim%1:04:00:: - demand for something as rightful or due. Not a demand, but an assertion.
4. claim%1:07:02:: - an informal right to something, like a claim on her attentions. Not relevant.
5. claim%1:07:01:: - an established or recognized right, like a legal claim. Not relevant.
6. claim%1:10:01:: - a demand, especially in the phrase "call". Not relevant.

Thus, sense 2 is the best fit. Sense 2 is indexed as 2 in the given candidate list (1-indexed). So {"sense_index": 2}.

We are asked to choose the best sense for "justices" in the given context. The target word is "justice", but the surface form is "justices". The context talks about justices attending events, being exempt from ethics rules, and mentions specific justices like Scalia and Thomas. It refers to them as judges. Let's look at the senses:

1. justice%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being just or fair | synonyms=justness
2. justice%1:04:00:: | definition=judgment involved in the determination of rights and the assignment of rewards and punishments
3. justice%1:18:00:: | definition=a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=judge, jurist
4. justice%1:14:00:: | definition=the United States federal department responsible for enforcing federal laws (including the enforcement of all civil rights legislation); created in 1870 | synonyms=Department of Justice, Justice Department, DoJ

In context, "justices" clearly refers to judges, specifically Supreme Court justices. It mentions "two justices", "justices are exempt", "several justices", "The justices were wining and dining". So sense 3, "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice", is the correct one. Sense 1 is about the abstract quality. Sense 2 is about judgment as a concept. Sense 4 is the department. So index 3.

The output should be a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "court" and target surface form "court" in a context. We need to choose the best indexed sense from the list of candidate senses. The context is about Supreme Court justices attending events and ethics rules. The sentence with <t>court</t> is: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the <t>court</t> abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar... "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

The target word "court" here refers to the institution, the Supreme Court, which is a judicial body. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" (tribunal, judicature)
2. sense 2: "a room in which a lawcourt sits" (courtroom)
3. sense 3: "the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state" (royal court)
4. sense 4: "a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played"
5. sense 5: "Australian woman tennis player"
6. sense 6: "the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince" (royal court)
7. sense 7: "a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area" (tourist court)
8. sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" (lawcourt, court of law, court of justice)
9. sense 9: "the residence of a sovereign or nobleman"
10. sense 10: "an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings" (courtyard)
11. sense 11: "respectful deference" (homage)

The context clearly refers to the Supreme Court as a judicial institution. The word "court" appears twice: "the <t>court</t> abides by the same rules" and "pending cases before the court." In both instances, it refers to the Supreme Court, which is a court of law. Sense 8 (lawcourt, court of law) and sense 1 (tribunal) are both close. Sense 1 is more general "assembly to conduct judicial business," while sense 8 is "a tribunal presided over by a magistrate or judges." The Supreme Court is a specific court of law. However, note that in WordNet, sense 1 is a more abstract group of judges, while sense 8 is the institution. In the context, "the court" likely refers to the Supreme Court as an institution, the collective body. Both senses 1 and 8 could apply. But let's check the distinctions: Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" – that could be a specific sitting of the court. Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" – that is the court as an institution. The phrase "the court abides by the same rules" suggests the institution overall. Also, "have pending cases before the court" suggests the tribunal. Often, in such contexts, the Supreme Court is referred to as "the Court." Given that there is a specific sense for lawcourt (sense 8), I'd lean towards that because it directly corresponds to a court of law, and sense 1 is broader. But sense 1 and sense 8 are very similar. I'll check the examples: sense 2 is a room, sense 4 is sports, etc. So it's between 1 and 8. In many WSD tasks, the sense "court of law" is the correct one for legal contexts. The WordNet sense key for sense 8 is court%1:06:05::, while sense 1 is court%1:14:00::. Sense 1 is a hyponym of "assembly," while sense 8 is a hyponym of "tribunal" and further "court." I think sense 8 is more precise for a court like the Supreme Court. But let's see if there's any context: "justices" and "federal judges" indicate a court of law. The phrase "the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges" – "the court" here likely means the Supreme Court as an entity. It is the institution. So I'd go with sense 8.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 8}.

reasoning_content: We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target lemma "rule", surface form "rules", in the given context. The target appears in the sentence: "... the court abides by the same <t>rules</t> that apply to all other federal judges." The context discusses ethics rules, a Code of Conduct, and a specific canon. So "rules" refers to prescribed guides for conduct or action, i.e., ethical guidelines or regulations. Looking at the candidate senses: sense 3 is "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript). This fits perfectly. Other senses like regulation (1), convention (2), linguistic rule (4), principle (5), game rules (8), etc., are not suitable. Sense 3 is the best.

So index 4 is correct.

We are asked to disambiguate "justices" in the given context. The target surface form is "justices", which is plural. We need to choose from four candidate senses. Let's examine the context carefully.

Context: "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... Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company... 'The <t>justices</t> were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court.'"

The context is clearly about Supreme Court justices. "Scalia and Thomas" are mentioned, who are Supreme Court justices. The target word is "justices" in the sentence "The justices were wining and dining..." This refers to individuals who are judges on the Supreme Court. So it refers to public officials authorized to decide questions in a court of justice. That matches sense 3: "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=judge, jurist". The plural "justices" fits because it's multiple judges.

Sense 1: quality of being just or fair. That is abstract, not a person. Not applicable.
Sense 2: judgment involved in determining rights. Also abstract.
Sense 4: the US federal department (Department of Justice). That would be capitalized, and it's an organization, not plural individuals. Not applicable.

Thus, sense 3 is the only one that makes sense. The output should be {"sense_index": 3}.

We need to determine whether "fundraiser" in this sentence refers to a person (sense 1) or an event (sense 2). The phrase "at a black-tie fundraiser" clearly indicates an event: "black-tie" suggests a formal dress code, and they are "wining and dining" at it. So it's a social function. Also, the context mentions "fund-raising events" from Canon 4C. Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

Return {"sense_index": 2}.

We are asked to do word sense disambiguation for the target word "cases" appearing in the context: "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending <t>cases</t> before the court." The target surface form is "cases" (plural of "case"). We need to pick the best indexed sense from the provided candidate list.

Let's analyze the context: The text is about Supreme Court justices attending a fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court. "Cases" here refers to legal matters, lawsuits, or court proceedings. The attorneys have pending cases before the court, meaning they have legal actions that the court will hear.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: an occurrence of something (instance, example) - not legal.
2. sense 2: a special set of circumstances (event) - not specific to legal proceedings.
3. sense 3: a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy (lawsuit, suit, cause, causa). Examples: "the family brought suit against the landlord." This fits perfectly: attorneys have lawsuits or legal proceedings pending before the court.
4. sense 4: the actual state of things - e.g., "that was not the case" - not applicable.
5. sense 5: portable container - no.
6. sense 6: person requiring professional services - not applicable; attorneys are not "cases" in that sense; the attorneys have cases (legal matters).
7. sense 7: person subjected to experimental observation - no.
8. sense 8: a problem requiring investigation (like a detective case) - could be related, but in a legal context, "cases before the court" typically refers to court cases, lawsuits, not just any problem.
9. sense 9: a statement of facts and reasons to support an argument - e.g., "stated his case" - not the sense here because it's "pending cases", not a statement.
10. sense 10: quantity contained in a case - no.
11. sense 11: grammatical case - no.
12. sense 12: specific state of mind - no.
13. sense 13: person of specified kind - no.
14. sense 14: font - no.
15. sense 15: enveloping structure in biology - no.
16. sense 16: housing or outer covering - no.
17. sense 17: enclosing frame around door/window - no.
18. sense 18: typesetter's case - no.
19. sense 19: pillowcase - no.
20. sense 20: display case - no.

Clearly, sense 3 is the most appropriate: a court proceeding, lawsuit. The phrase "pending cases before the court" is a standard legal term. Therefore, we select sense_index 3.

Target lemma: court
Target surface form: court
Context:
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 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 <t>court</t>." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "court" in the given context. The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court. The phrase is "before the <t>court</t>." In this context, "court" refers to the judicial body, the Supreme Court, which is a tribunal. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business (tribunal, judicature). This fits: the Supreme Court is an assembly of judges.
8. a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws (lawcourt, court of law, court of justice). This also fits well.

Both 1 and 8 are about judicial bodies. Which is more specific? Sense 1 is "an assembly... to conduct judicial business" (synonyms: tribunal, judicature). 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" (synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice). The Supreme Court is a specific court of law. However, the phrase "before the court" typically refers to the judicial body hearing the case. In WordNet, sense 1 and 8 are closely related. But note: sense 1 is the more general assembly, while sense 8 is the institution. Let's check the context: "who have pending cases before the court." This means the Supreme Court as a judicial entity. Both would work, but we need the best indexed sense. The examples in sense 8 are not given, but definition emphasizes administering justice. Sense 1 emphasizes assembly to conduct judicial business. Perhaps sense 8 is the more common meaning for the institution. Also, note that sense 1 is listed as sense_key court%1:14:00::, which is a noun.communication (?) Actually, WordNet sense keys: the numbers after % are lexicographer file numbers. 14 is noun.communication? Actually, in WordNet 3.0, 14 is noun.group? No, lexicographer file numbers: 00 is adj.all, 01 is adj.pert, 02 is adv.all, 03 is noun.Tops, 04 is noun.act, 05 is noun.animal, 06 is noun.artifact, 07 is noun.attribute, 08 is noun.body, 09 is noun.cognition, 10 is noun.communication, 11 is noun.event, 12 is noun.feeling, 13 is noun.food, 14 is noun.group, 15 is noun.location, 16 is noun.motive, 17 is noun.object, 18 is noun.person, 19 is noun.phenomenon, 20 is noun.plant, 21 is noun.possession, 22 is noun.process, 23 is noun.quantity, 24 is noun.relation, 25 is noun.shape, 26 is noun.state, 27 is noun.substance, 28 is noun.time, 29 is verb.body, 30 is verb.change, 31 is verb.cognition, 32 is verb.communication, 33 is verb.competition, 34 is verb.consumption, 35 is verb.contact, 36 is verb.creation, 37 is verb.emotion, 38 is verb.motion, 39 is verb.perception, 40 is verb.possession, 41 is verb.social, 42 is verb.stative, 43 is verb.weather, 44 is adj.ppl. So sense key court%1:14:00:: means noun.group (14), sense 1. sense_key=court%1:06:02:: means noun.artifact (06). So sense 1 is a group (assembly of judges), sense 8 is court%1:06:05:: which is noun.artifact? Wait, 06 is artifact, so 06:05 is also noun.artifact. But a tribunal as an institution is an artifact? Actually, WordNet classifies "court" as an artifact for sense 8 (lawcourt) and as a group for sense 1 (assembly). The context "before the court" likely refers to the institution, not the physical courtroom or the assembly. In legal phrasing, "pending cases before the court" means before the judicial body, the court of law. I think sense 8 matches that better, as it explicitly says "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws." Sense 1 is just an assembly to conduct judicial business, which could be temporary. The Supreme Court is a permanent institution. However, both are plausible. I'll check common usage: In WordNet, "court" in "Supreme Court" is likely sense 8, as it's a lawcourt. Sense 1 is more generic. Given the context about justices, the "court" is the Supreme Court, a specific court of law. So I'll go with sense 8.

But let's see if any other senses might be misconstrued. No, only 1 and 8 are judicial. The other senses are about a room (2), royal court (3,6,9), sports court (4), person (5), motel (7), courtyard (10), homage (11). None fit. So the choice is between 1 and 8. The phrase "before the court" means "before the judge(s) or court of law." In legal terminology, "court" often denotes the institution. Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" is spot on. Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" might also be used, but sense 8 is the more specific "court of law". Since WordNet often has these closely related senses, the more specific one usually matches the context. I'll select sense 8.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 8}.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "appearance" in the given context. The target lemma is "appearance" and surface form is "appearance". We have 6 candidate senses with definitions, synonyms, and examples. We need to choose the single best sense based on the context.

Context: "Their <t>appearance</t> and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable." The context talks about justices attending a fundraiser, where they were "wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." So, "their appearance" refers to the fact that they showed up, were present, at this event. It's about them being there, participating. "Appearance and assistance in fundraising" suggests they attended and helped. So "appearance" here means the act of appearing in public, at an event. It might also relate to formal attendance, but it's not a court appearance. Sense 5: "the act of appearing in public view" with examples like "the rookie made a brief appearance in the first period" seems fitting. Sense 3 is "formal attendance (in court or at a hearing) of a party in an action" – not applicable here. Sense 1 is about visual aspect, not the act of appearing. Sense 2 is "the event of coming into sight" which could be similar but sense 5 specifically is about public view and fits better. Sense 4 is mental representation. Sense 6 is pretending. So sense 5 is the best.

Thus, the sense index is 5.

We are given the target lemma "event", surface form "event", in a specific context. We need to choose the best indexed sense from the four candidate senses provided.

Context: "Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this <t>event</t> undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable." The event refers to a fundraiser, specifically a black-tie fundraiser mentioned earlier: "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." So the event is a social gathering, a fundraising event.

Now, examine candidate senses:

1. sense_key=event%1:03:00:: | definition=something that happens at a given place and time
This is a very general sense: any happening. Could fit, but it's broad.

2. sense_key=event%1:26:00:: | definition=a special set of circumstances | synonyms=case | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled
This sense is about a hypothetical situation or contingency. Clearly not appropriate here; the event is an actual happening, not a set of circumstances.

3. sense_key=event%1:19:00:: | definition=a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time; the fundamental observational entity in relativity theory
This is a technical physics sense. Not appropriate.

4. sense_key=event%1:19:01:: | definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | synonyms=consequence, effect, outcome, result, issue, upshot | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise; his decision had depressing consequences for business
This sense is about results or consequences. Not appropriate; the event is not a consequence but an occasion.

Thus, the best fit is sense 1: something that happens at a given place and time. That matches a fundraiser event.

But wait: The context says "fundraising for this event" and it's a political fundraiser. The event is a specific occurrence. So sense 1 is correct.

Now, output JSON object with the selected sense index (1-indexed? The candidates are numbered 1., 2., 3., 4. So I'll return index 1.

The target form is "claims" (plural noun). Context: It's about justices' ethical breaches, and the statement contradicts "claims" by justices that they abide by rules, and then the event undercuts any "claims" of impartiality. That is, it's about assertions that something is true (that they abide by rules, that they are impartial). Sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual" with examples "his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims". That fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about asserting a right (to money/property) - not relevant. Sense 3: demand for something as rightful or due. Not that. Sense 4: informal right to something. Not that. Sense 5: established or recognized right. Not that. Sense 6: a demand (like call of duty). Not that. So correct index is 2. Output JSON: {"sense_index": 2}.

We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "regard" in the given context. The target surface form is "regard" and the target lemma is "regard". 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." We need to select the best sense from the 7 given options.

Let's analyze each sense:

1. sense_key=regard%1:09:00:: | definition=(usually preceded by `in') a detail or point | synonyms=respect | examples=it differs in that respect
   - This sense is about a detail or point, usually used with "in" (e.g., "in that regard"). In the context, "shown little regard for critics" doesn't fit this meaning. "Regard for critics" is about considering or paying attention to them, not a detail.

2. sense_key=regard%1:09:01:: | definition=paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people) | synonyms=attentiveness, heed, paying attention | examples=his attentiveness to her wishes; he spends without heed to the consequences
   - This sense is about paying attention or heed, often with a connotation of care. "Shown little regard for critics" means they have little attention or care for critics, which aligns with "heed" or "paying attention". The example "he spends without heed to the consequences" shows a similar usage: lack of heed/regard for something. This seems plausible.

3. sense_key=regard%1:10:00:: | definition=(usually plural) a polite expression of desire for someone's welfare | synonyms=wish, compliments | examples=give him my kind regards; my best wishes
   - This is typically used in plural ("regards") as in "give my regards". Here it's singular "regard", and it's not about polite wishes. Not fitting.

4. sense_key=regard%1:04:00:: | definition=a long fixed look | synonyms=gaze | examples=he fixed his paternal gaze on me
   - This is a look or gaze. "Shown little regard for" does not mean a look. Not fitting.

5. sense_key=regard%1:26:00:: | definition=the condition of being honored (esteemed or respected or well regarded) | synonyms=esteem, respect | examples=it is held in esteem; a man who has earned high regard
   - This is about being respected or esteemed. "Shown little regard for critics" could be interpreted as having little respect for critics, meaning they don't hold them in high esteem. But note: the phrase is "shown little regard for", which means they demonstrate little consideration or respect for something. This sense focuses on the condition of being honored, which is a state. However, "regard" here is the object of "shown", and they are showing a low amount of regard (respect/esteem) toward critics. This sense might work if we see "regard" as the esteem they hold for critics. The example "a man who has earned high regard" shows it as something you have for someone. So "shown little regard for critics" means they don't feel or display much esteem for critics. This is a strong candidate.

6. sense_key=regard%1:12:02:: | definition=a feeling of friendship and esteem | synonyms=respect | examples=she mistook his manly regard for love; he inspires respect
   - This is similar but specifically a feeling of friendship and esteem. "Regard for critics" might not be about friendship; it's more about consideration or respect. The example shows a personal feeling: "manly regard" akin to admiration. Here, it's about critics generally, so it's less about a warm feeling and more about acknowledgment or respect. Still possible but less precise.

7. sense_key=regard%1:09:02:: | definition=an attitude of admiration or esteem | synonyms=respect, esteem | examples=she lost all respect for him
   - This sense is "an attitude of admiration or esteem." Again, "shown little regard for" means they have little respect/admiration for critics. This is very similar to sense 5, but sense 5 is "the condition of being honored" which is about the reputation, while sense 7 is the attitude of admiration. The phrase "shown little regard for" typically means they have little consideration or respect. Both 5 and 7 could work, but 5 defines it as "the condition of being honored (esteemed or respected or well regarded)" which is more about how the object is regarded (e.g., "it is held in esteem"), whereas the phrase is about the subject having regard for something. The example for 5: "it is held in esteem" – the subject is the thing being esteemed. In "shown little regard for critics," the critics are not being held in esteem; rather, Scalia and Thomas are showing (or not showing) regard toward critics. So 5 might be misaligned because it's the state of the object, not the attitude of the subject. Sense 7 is the subject's attitude: "an attitude of admiration or esteem" as in "she lost all respect for him." This fits perfectly: they have an attitude of little regard (respect) for critics. Sense 2 is about paying attention/heed, which also fits: they show little heed/paying attention to critics. But the phrase "regard for" often means respect/esteem rather than just attention. Let's check 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". They are ignoring or not caring about the critics' opinions. Both "heed" (paying attention) and "respect" (admiration) could work, but which is more typical? In WordNet, sense 2 specifies "paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people)" with synonyms "attentiveness, heed, paying attention". That might be more about careful attention. The example "he spends without heed to the consequences" shows a lack of attention to consequences, which is similar. However, "regard for critics" could be interpreted as respect. Often, "high/low regard" means esteem, but "show little regard for" can mean "little concern or consideration." For instance, "He shows little regard for the law" means he doesn't care about the law. That could be either attention or respect.

Let's examine the difference between sense 2 and 7. Sense 2 focuses on attentiveness/heed. Sense 7 focuses on an attitude of admiration/esteem. In common usage, "to have regard for" means to have respect or consideration. For example, "She has no regard for his feelings" means she doesn't respect or care about his feelings. The synonyms for sense 7 are "respect, esteem", while sense 2 has "attentiveness, heed". The choice often depends on whether it's about attention or about respect/consideration. The context involves critics who say something negative; Scalia and Thomas are not paying them much mind because they disregard their opinions. That suggests they lack consideration or respect for those critics' views. I think the more appropriate sense is the one meaning "respect" or "esteem" (sense 7) because "little regard for" idiomatic meaning often points to lack of respect. However, sense 5 is similar, but worded as a condition, not an attitude. Sense 7 is explicitly "an attitude of admiration or esteem" which aligns with "shown little regard" (their attitude). The example "she lost all respect for him" parallels "shown little regard for critics". So sense 7 is a strong match.

Also, note the phrase: "shown little regard for critics" - "regard" is a noun, object of "shown". They show a low amount of regard. That regard is the attitude they hold.

Sense 2: "paying particular notice" – if they show little regard, they are not paying particular notice. That could also be. But let's check the distinction: WordNet often separates these. For sense 2, the definition specifically mentions "as to children or helpless people", which implies a connotation of care/attention to someone's needs. That doesn't quite fit "critics". Critics are not helpless people needing attention; they are making complaints. So sense 2 might be more about nurturing attention, while the usage here is about respect or consideration for opinions.

Sense 7: "an attitude of admiration or esteem" – it's about holding someone in high opinion. That fits.

Therefore, I will select sense 7.

The final answer should be in JSON: {"sense_index": 7}

We are given the target lemma "business", surface form "business" in a specific sentence: "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." We need to choose the sense that best fits this context.

Let's analyze the context. The sentence mentions "the business of the court". This phrase refers to the official work or business that the court conducts. It's not about a company, commerce, occupation, etc. It's about the matters or affairs of the court. The phrase "mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups" suggests that they are combining the court's official functions or responsibilities with external partisan groups.

Now let's check each sense:

1. A commercial enterprise. Not relevant; the court is not a business enterprise.
2. The activity of providing goods and services involving financial/commercial/industrial aspects. Again, not relevant; court is not a commercial activity.
3. The principal activity that one does to earn money; job/occupation. This could be a candidate: the business of the court could metaphorically mean the job or occupation of the court. But "business" here is more about the official work or matters that the court deals with, not a personal job. Also, the justices are not earning money from the court's business? Actually, the court's business is its official proceedings, not the justices' occupation per se. This sense is more about individuals' jobs. Example: "he's not in my line of business" — that means line of work. But here "the business of the court" refers to the court as an institution's work. Not a perfect fit.
4. A rightful concern or responsibility. "it's none of your business" — meaning something that is not your concern. The phrase "the business of the court" could mean the proper concerns or responsibilities of the court. For example, "It is the business of the court to interpret laws." This sense fits well: the business of the court = the rightful concern/responsibility of the court. The sentence says they mix the court's proper business (its official responsibilities) with partisan groups' agendas. This seems plausible.
5. An immediate objective. "gossip was the main business of the evening" — the main activity or focus. "Business" as an objective. Not a great fit; the court's business is more ongoing than an immediate objective.
6. Volume of commercial activity. Not applicable.
7. Business concerns collectively (the business sector). Not applicable.
8. Customers collectively. Not applicable.
9. Incidental activity by an actor for dramatic effect. Not applicable.

Between sense 3 and sense 4, sense 4 is more about responsibility or concern. Sense 3 is about a job or line of work. Consider the phrase "the business of the court" is a common phrase meaning the affairs or matters that the court handles. It's akin to "the affairs of state" or "the business of the meeting." In this usage, "business" means matters or affairs that are the proper concern of something. This aligns with sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility". The examples given for sense 4 are "it's none of your business; mind your own business", which shows that sense is about matters that concern someone. In "the business of the court," it similarly refers to the matters that concern the court.

Therefore, sense 4 is the best fit.

Now, return a JSON object with the sense_index (1-based). The candidate senses are listed with indices starting from 1. So {"sense_index": 4}.

We are asked to disambiguate "court" in the given context. The target is "court" in the phrase "the business of the court". The context is about U.S. Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas, their ethical concerns, attending fundraisers with lawyers who have cases before them. The text says: "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, "court" clearly refers to the judicial body, the Supreme Court as an institution that conducts judicial business. So it's an assembly of judges conducting judicial business. That matches sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business". But also sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" (lawcourt, court of law, court of justice). These are very similar. The difference: sense 1 is broader, an assembly to conduct judicial business; sense 8 is specifically a tribunal, a court of law. The context uses "the court" as the institution they serve on, the Supreme Court. The phrase "the business of the court" means the official work of the judicial body. Which sense better fits? Sense 1 is a more general sense of "court" as a judicial assembly. Sense 8 is also applicable. Let's check the examples: for sense 1, no specific examples given in this snippet; for sense 8 also no examples. In WordNet, "court" as a judicial body is often sense 1 in the noun court file? Actually, WordNet has multiple noun synsets for court. The sense keys provided:
1. court%1:14:00:: - an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business.
8. court%1:06:05:: - a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws.
Which is more common? In the context of the US Supreme Court, it's both an assembly of judges and a tribunal. The phrase "the business of the court" could refer to the institution's work. Often in legal contexts, "the court" refers to the tribunal. But note that sense 1 says "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business". That directly includes the idea of "business". Sense 8 emphasizes administering justice. The context: "mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups" - here "business of the court" refers to the judicial work, the official duties. So sense 1 seems a perfect match because it explicitly mentions "conduct judicial business". Sense 8 is a tribunal, a court of law. Both are plausible. But in WordNet, the primary sense for court as a judicial body might be sense 1? Often sense 1 is the most frequent. But let's see the sense indices: 1 and 8. To decide, note that the synset for sense 1 includes synonyms "tribunal, judicature". The definition of sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business". Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws". In the sentence, it's "the court" as an entity. Given the context about ethics, they are referring to the Supreme Court as a whole, the institution that hears cases. The phrase "the court abides by the same rules" earlier refers to the justices collectively. So it's the institution. Sense 1 is more fitting because it directly says "to conduct judicial business", which aligns with "the business of the court". Also, in WordNet 3.0, the synset for court as a judicial assembly is sense 1 (lexicographer file 14: noun.group). Sense 8 is in file 06 (noun.artifact) as a type of courtroom/tribunal? Wait, sense 8 is noun.artifact? The sense key says court%1:06:05::, so it's an artifact sense, like a court of law is a place or institution? Actually, artifacts include buildings/rooms/institutions. Sense 8 is an artifact: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate...", so it's an institution as well, but categorized under artifact. Sense 1 is under noun.group: an assembly. In the context, "the business of the court" likely refers to the group of judges conducting business, rather than the physical tribunal. So sense 1 is the best.

Let's confirm: "mix the business of the court" - they are mixing the official judicial business (conducting cases) with partisan groups. That is sense of court as an assembly of judges doing business.

Also, note that sense 2 is "courtroom" which is a room. Sense 3 is royal court governing power. Sense 4 is sports court. Sense 5 is Margaret Court. Sense 6 royal court retinue. Sense 7 motel. Sense 9 residence of sovereign. Sense 10 courtyard. Sense 11 homage. None of those fit.

Thus, between 1 and 8, I choose 1 because it explicitly mentions conduct judicial business and is an assembly. So answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "groups" in the context. The target lemma is "group", surface form "groups". We have three candidate senses:

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 <t>groups</t> such as the Federalist Society."

The word "groups" refers to organizations like the Federalist Society, which is a conservative legal organization. So it's about an organization or a collection of people. That fits sense 1: any number of entities (members) considered as a unit. Sense 2 is chemistry, not applicable. Sense 3 is mathematical, not applicable. So the best index is 1.
