Target lemma: argument
Target surface form: arguments
Context:
The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution. The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection. Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the victims, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11. The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their <t>arguments</t> about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate the word "arguments" in the given context. The context discusses legal proceedings, specifically about jurors' discussions or disputes regarding the effect of intense media coverage on the trial. The phrase: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." Here, "arguments" refers to the points, reasons, or contentions made by the jurors. It's not a heated dispute (sense 2) but rather the reasons they put forward. It's also not a summary (sense 4), computer science term (sense 5), mathematical variable (sense 6), or a methodical process (sense 7). The most fitting sense is "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition" (sense 3) or "a fact or assertion offered as evidence" (sense 1). The context says "their arguments about the effect...", meaning they presented reasons or contentions. Sense 1 defines it as a fact or assertion offered as evidence, while sense 3 is a discussion. The jurors are making arguments in a challenge to the verdict, so they are advancing reasons. The example for sense 3: "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on" suggests a prolonged discussion, which might fit, but the context doesn't necessarily imply a back-and-forth discussion; it's more about the contentions they made. Sense 1's example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true" is closer to presenting a reason. However, in legal contexts, "arguments" often refer to the reasons presented by lawyers or parties. The phrase "arguments about the effect" suggests they are putting forth claims or reasons. Sense 3 (argumentation, debate) could also apply, but the text doesn't indicate a debate among jurors; rather, they made arguments in a challenge. Sense 1 is more about a single assertion, while sense 3 is a discussion. In the sentence: "But their arguments about the effect... may draw the most interest," it implies they have multiple points or reasons. We need to see which sense fits best. The synonyms for sense 3: argumentation, debate; for sense 1: statement. The context: jurors "noted in a challenge to the verdict ... that the case dominated the news..." So they are making arguments as part of a legal challenge. This is more like presenting evidence or assertions. I lean toward sense 1. However, let's examine all: sense 2 is a contentious dispute, not the case here. Sense 4 summary, no. Sense 5 computer parameter, no. Sense 6 math variable, no. Sense 7 logical reasoning process, not exactly. The line: "But their arguments about the effect... may draw the most interest." It could be interpreted as the points they made. Given the legal context where "arguments" often refer to legal arguments, which are reasonings, sense 1 or 3. Sense 3 definition: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition". The jurors aren't necessarily having a discussion among themselves; they are putting forward arguments in a legal filing. So it's more about the contentions they raise. Sense 1 is "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true". This fits well: they are offering assertions as evidence that the coverage prejudiced the trial. So I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content: We are asked: "Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context." The target lemma is "effect", surface form "effect". Context: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." We need to choose from the candidate senses. Sense 1: phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon (consequence, outcome, etc.). Sense 2: outward appearance (impression). Sense 3: impression (especially artificial). Sense 4: central meaning/theme. Sense 5: legal validity. Sense 6: symptom caused by illness or drug. In the context, "effect of the intense coverage" refers to the consequence or impact of the coverage. That matches sense 1: a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon. They are talking about the effect (i.e., consequence) of intense media coverage on the trial. So sense 1 is correct. No other sense fits. Thus, the answer is sense index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "coverage" in the given context. The target word is in the phrase "the intense <t>coverage</t> of the trial". We have three candidate senses:

1. insurance coverage
2. extent to which something is covered (e.g., dictionary's coverage)
3. news as presented by reporters (reporting, reportage)

The context talks about a trial, jurors, photographs, and the effect of the intense coverage of the trial. It mentions that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign. Clearly, "coverage" here refers to media coverage, i.e., news reporting. So sense 3 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We need to identify the sense of "interest" in the given context: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most <t>interest</t>." The sentence is about how the defense lawyers' arguments regarding the intense media coverage may attract the most attention or curiosity. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=interest%1:09:00:: (definition=a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something; synonyms=involvement; examples=an interest in music). This fits: drawing the most interest means attracting the most curiosity or concern. The example "an interest in music" shows a general sense of curiosity. The context is about arguments that will draw the most attention/curiosity. However, "involvement" as a synonym might not perfectly match, but the definition is about curiosity and concern.

2. sense_key=interest%1:07:01:: (reason for wanting something done; synonyms=sake; examples=for your sake). This is about a reason or sake, doesn't fit "draw the most interest" which is about attracting attention.

3. sense_key=interest%1:07:02:: (the power of attracting or holding one's attention; synonyms=interestingness; examples=they said nothing of great interest; primary colors can add interest to a room). This is about the quality of being interesting. "May draw the most interest" could mean "attract the most attention" or "be of the greatest interest". This seems very close. Example: "nothing of great interest" means nothing that captures attention. So this sense is about the property of being interesting. The phrase "draw the most interest" is like "draw the most attention", which is exactly this sense.

4. financial charge, not applicable.

5. legal right or financial involvement, not applicable.

6. social group (interest group), not applicable.

7. a diversion or pastime, not applicable.

Between senses 1 and 3: Sense 1 is about a person's feeling of concern/curiosity. Sense 3 is about the property of something that captures attention. The phrase "draw the most interest" is more about the thing (arguments) having the power to attract attention, so it might be sense 3 (interestingness). But let's consider: "an interest in music" is more like a personal interest, a sense of curiosity. If someone says "that may draw the most interest," they mean it will attract the most attention/curiosity from people. It could be interpreted as the arguments will attract people's interest (sense 1) or that the arguments themselves have the quality of being interesting (sense 3). Often, "draw interest" means attract attention or curiosity. WordNet example for sense 3: "they said nothing of great interest" – that is about something not being interesting. In the context, "arguments ... may draw the most interest" means they will be the most interesting or attract the most attention. Sense 3 directly fits: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention". Sense 1 is more about a person's internal state of curiosity. The phrase "draw interest" is like "generate interest" which is about creating a state of curiosity, but also about the quality of being interesting. Actually, both could work, but we need to pick the best indexed sense. WordNet glosses are schematic. Let's see examples: Sense 1: an interest in music. That's a personal interest. If someone says "I have an interest in music", it's sense 1. Here, it's not that people have an interest; it's that the arguments may draw the most interest, comparable to "they said nothing of great interest" where "interest" is used in sense 3. The context is about the arguments being of great interest to the public. The synonym for sense 3 is "interestingness", which is exactly the quality. So sense 3 is more directly about the power of attracting attention. Also, the phrase "draw the most interest" is similar to "add interest to a room" in the example, where it means to make something more attention-grabbing. So I'll go with sense 3.

Let's confirm: The sentence: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." This means their arguments might attract the most attention from the court or public. That is the interestingness or the power of attracting attention, not a personal sense of curiosity (though that is related). Given the examples, sense 3 is more appropriate for "draw interest" in the sense of "be of interest". For instance, "The topic drew a lot of interest" means it was interesting, so sense 3.

Thus, the answer is sense_index 3.

reasoning_content: We are given: Target lemma "month", target surface form "month". Context: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last <t>month</t> that the case dominated the news..." Candidates: sense 1: "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year", synonyms: "calendar month", example: "he paid the bill last month". Sense 2: "a time unit of approximately 30 days", example: "he was given a month to pay the bill". The phrase "last month" indicates a specific calendar month, like March, April, etc. Sense 1's example matches exactly "last month". Sense 2 is about a duration of approximately 30 days. In context, "filed last month" refers to a point in time (a specific month), not a duration. So sense 1 is best. Return {"sense_index": 1}.

Context:
The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' reactions by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for "case" in the given context. The context is about a trial, defense lawyers, jurors, crime-scene photographs, verdict, death penalty, etc. The target sentence: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate." Here, "case" refers to the legal trial or court proceeding. Looking at candidate senses:

1. instance, example - not fitting.
2. special set of circumstances - could be, but legal context points more specifically.
3. lawsuit, suit, cause - a proceeding in a court of law. This matches perfectly: "the case dominated the news" meaning the trial/lawsuit.
4. actual state of things - not here.
5. portable container - no.
6. person requiring professional services - no.
7. person under investigation - no, it's not a person.
8. a problem requiring investigation - could be, but more often in detective contexts. Here, it's a trial, so lawsuit fits better.
9. statement of facts used to support an argument - "he stated his case" but here it's "the case dominated the news," so not this.
10. quantity contained in a case - no.
11. grammatical case - no.
12. specific state of mind - no.
13. person of a specified kind - no.
14. font - no.
15. enveloping structure - no.
16. housing or outer covering - no.
17. enclosing frame - no.
18. printing receptacle - no.
19. pillowcase - no.
20. display case - no.

So sense 3 (index 3) is the most appropriate: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy". In the context, "the case" refers to the trial of Mr. Hayes.

Thus, return {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given: target lemma "news", surface form "news", context: "... they noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign... They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case."

We need to choose the best indexed sense from the five options.

Let's analyze the context: The sentence says "the case dominated the news in Connecticut". Here "news" refers to the coverage, the reporting, the media attention. The phrase "the news" typically means the media coverage, news reports, etc. The next sentence says "the news media continually fanned the flames", clarifying that "news" here is about media coverage.

Now look at the senses:

1. sense_key=news%1:10:00:: | definition=information about recent and important events | synonyms=intelligence, tidings, word | examples=they awaited news of the outcome
   - This sense is about the information itself, like tidings. But "dominated the news" doesn't mean the information dominated; it means the coverage dominated. Also, "news" in "dominated the news" is more about the platform or the media.

2. sense_key=news%1:10:01:: | definition=information reported in a newspaper or news magazine | examples=the news of my death was greatly exaggerated
   - This is about a specific piece of information reported. "Dominated the news" could be interpreted as the coverage, but this sense seems more about a particular news item. The example "the news of my death" refers to the report of an event. It might fit: the case dominated the reports. But the phrase "the news" often refers to the media as a whole.

3. sense_key=news%1:10:02:: | definition=a program devoted to current events, often using interviews and commentary | synonyms=news program, news show | examples=we watch the 7 o'clock news every night
   - This is specifically a program, like a TV news broadcast. "Dominated the news" could mean it dominated news programs. But it says "dominated the news in Connecticut", which might refer to all news outlets, not just programs. Also, the phrase "the news" in general usage often refers to the media or the news cycle, not specifically a program.

4. sense_key=news%1:10:03:: | definition=informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone | examples=it was news to me
   - This is clearly not the right fit; it's about something being new information to a person.

5. sense_key=news%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins | synonyms=newsworthiness | examples=the judge conceded the newsworthiness of the trial; he is no longer news in the fashion world
   - This is about newsworthiness, an abstract quality. "Dominated the news" doesn't mean dominated the quality; it means dominated the news coverage. "He is no longer news" uses "news" as a predicate meaning newsworthy. But here it's "dominated the news", not "he was news".

We need to pick the best index. The phrase "dominated the news" is a common collocation meaning the topic was the main focus of news reporting. It refers to the media coverage collectively. WordNet might categorize that under sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" (which could be extended to any news medium) or sense 1: "information about recent and important events". But note that sense 2 is specifically "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine", which is more concrete: the news as the reports themselves. Sense 1 is the abstract information. However, "dominated the news" is often about the news media agenda. Let's check examples: sense 2 example: "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated" – that is a specific piece of news. Sense 1 example: "they awaited news of the outcome" – that is information, tidings. Here, "the case dominated the news" means the case was the most prominent topic in news reporting. It's not a piece of news; it's the collective output. In WordNet, there is often a sense for "news" as "the news media" but that's not listed here. Among the given senses, the closest is probably sense 2, as it relates to reports. Alternatively, sense 1 is the general information, but "dominated the news" sounds like it dominated the news media. Sense 5 is newsworthiness: "he is no longer news" – but here it's "dominated the news", not "he was news". So 5 doesn't fit.

Let's think about typical WSD choices. The phrase "the news" in "dominated the news" is often mapped to the sense meaning "news media" or "news reports". But we only have these five. Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine". That seems reasonable: the case dominated the information reported. Sense 3 is too specific to programs. So I'd go with sense 2. But we should double-check: The context also says "the intense coverage of the trial" and "the news media continually fanned the flames", so "the news" here is closely tied to the media. However, WordNet may not have a separate media sense. Possibly sense 2 is intended to cover that. Also, note that "news" in "dominated the news" is uncountable, abstract. Sense 1 is also uncountable abstract information. But sense 1 examples: "they awaited news of the outcome" – that's like waiting for some information. You wouldn't say "the outcome dominated the news" meaning the information dominated; you'd say "the outcome dominated the news" meaning it dominated the news reports. So sense 2 is more plausible. Also, many WSD systems would tag "news" in "dominated the news" as the "information reported" sense.

Sense 5: "the quality of being sufficiently interesting..." – "he is no longer news" is a different usage: a predicate adjective-like usage. Here it's a noun phrase "the news". So 5 is unlikely.

Thus, the best indexed sense appears to be 2.

So output {"sense_index": 2}.

We are asked to choose the best sense for "Connecticut" in the context. The sentence: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate."

They are talking about a trial and news coverage. "Connecticut" here clearly refers to the U.S. state, as it's talking about news coverage in the state, candidates for governor and Senate. The context is about a legal case, and they mention "candidates for governor and the United States Senate" - this implies the political entity, the state. Sense 1: a New England state; one of the original 13 colonies. Sense 3: one of the British colonies that formed the United States. That's historical, not the modern state. Sense 2 is a river. So sense 1 fits perfectly.

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 1.

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "election" in the given context. The target surface form is "election" and appears in the phrase "election campaign". We have four candidate senses from WordNet:

1. sense_key=election%1:04:01:: | definition=a vote to select the winner of a position or political office | examples=the results of the election will be announced tonight
2. sense_key=election%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of selecting someone or something; the exercise of deliberate choice | examples=her election of medicine as a profession
3. sense_key=election%1:26:00:: | definition=the status or fact of being elected | examples=they celebrated his election
4. sense_key=election%1:09:00:: | definition=the predestination of some individuals as objects of divine mercy (especially as conceived by Calvinists)

The context: "discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate." This clearly refers to a political election campaign where candidates are running for office. The phrase "election campaign" is a compound noun meaning the campaign period before a vote to select a winner. Sense 1 is about a vote to select the winner of a political office, and it gives an example about election results. Sense 1 fits perfectly as the election campaign is the campaign leading up to the vote. Sense 2 is about selection more generally, not necessarily political. Sense 3 is about the status of being elected, which is a result, not the campaign. Sense 4 is theological. Thus, sense 1 is the best match.

1. a politician who is running for public office
2. someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)

We need to choose the single best sense. The context explicitly says "candidates for governor and the United States Senate" during an election campaign. That clearly refers to people running for public office, which is sense 1. Sense 2 is broader (anyone considered), but in this context, they are specifically politicians running for office. Thus, sense 1 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context from a legal trial, discussing the effect of media coverage. The target word is "case" in the phrase: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." The context mentions jurors, defense lawyers, constitutionality of the death penalty, trial, coverage, verdict, etc. So "case" refers to the legal proceeding, the lawsuit or trial. The most relevant sense is sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" (lawsuit, suit, cause, causa). That fits perfectly.

Thus, {"sense_index": 3}.

Target lemma: courthouse
Target surface form: courthouse
Context:
The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend. The jurors were not sequestered. But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the <t>courthouse</t>," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=courthouse%1:06:01:: | definition=a government building that houses the offices of a county government
2. sense_key=courthouse%1:06:00:: | definition=a building that houses judicial courts

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "courthouse" in the given context. The context is about a trial, media coverage, and lawyers mentioning the media presence outside the courthouse. The two candidate senses are:
1. a government building that houses the offices of a county government
2. a building that houses judicial courts

In the context, the phrase is "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse". This clearly refers to the building where the trial is taking place, which is a building housing judicial courts. The presence of reporters, cameras, and media coverage is typical outside a courthouse where a trial occurs. The second sense fits perfectly. The first sense refers to a government building for county offices, which might not be the primary association with a trial and media. So I'll choose sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "focus" in the given context. The target sentence is: "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial." Here, "focus" refers to what the lawyers concentrated on or paid attention to: the Twitter coverage. The context mentions that the lawyers argued about the intense media coverage, especially Twitter, and their focus on that aspect is controversial.

Let's check the candidate senses:

1. focus%1:09:00:: : concentration of attention or energy on something. Synonyms: focusing, focussing, focal point, direction, centering. Example: "the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology"

2. focus%1:07:01:: : maximum clarity of an image (optical). Not relevant.

3. focus%1:07:03:: : maximum clarity of an idea. Example: "the controversy brought clearly into focus an important difference of opinion". This is about making something clear, not about concentrating attention.

4. focus%1:26:00:: : central point of infection. Not relevant.

5. focus%1:26:01:: : special emphasis attached to something. Synonyms: stress. Example: "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed". This could be close, but sense 1 is more about the act of concentrating attention, while sense 5 is about emphasis. In the context, "their focus on the Twitter coverage" means their act of focusing on it, i.e., concentrating on it as a topic of argument.

6. focus%1:19:00:: : point of convergence of light. Not relevant.

7. focus%1:15:00:: : fixed reference point on a conic section. Not relevant.

The phrase "their focus on the Twitter coverage" indicates the direction of their attention or concentration. Sense 1 fits exactly: "the concentration of attention or energy on something". The lawyers concentrated on the Twitter coverage in their arguments. Sense 5 might be similar, but it's more about emphasis: "special emphasis attached to something". In the example, "the stress was more on accuracy than on speed" – it's about which aspect is emphasized. Here, they focused on the Twitter coverage (their attention was directed there), so it's more about concentration of attention (sense 1) rather than merely emphasizing it. Also, sense 1 has "focal point, direction, centering" as synonyms. "Their direction is on the Twitter coverage" could be paraphrased, though not perfectly idiomatic. "Their focus" is their concentration. Therefore, sense 1 is the best match.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

1. insurance coverage
2. the extent to which something is covered (like in a dictionary)
3. news media coverage

Looking at the context: The jurors were not sequestered. Their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest. It mentions news media, reporters, tweets, cameras, etc. The specific phrase "Focus on the Twitter coverage" and "claim that instant news was more incendiary" clearly indicates that the target refers to news reporting. The entire passage is about media coverage of a trial. So sense 3 is appropriate.

Thus, the best sense is sense_index 3.

The target word is "interviews" in: "In interviews, some journalists said..."

Clearly, this refers to journalists being questioned or conversing with someone (likely the lawyers or other journalists) in the context of news reporting. The first sense specifically says "the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by journalists" and the example is "my interviews with teenagers..." which fits the journalism context. The second sense is about a conference with someone important, like an audience with a king or a consultation with a judge. In the context, journalists are giving interviews, likely being interviewed or interviewing others, but the phrase "In interviews, some journalists said" suggests the journalists are the ones being interviewed, or perhaps they are the ones conducting interviews. Either way, it aligns with the first sense: questioning/conversation to elicit information, often by journalists. The second sense of a formal conference with an important person doesn't fit. So the best sense is index 1.

The instruction says: return only a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}. So we output {"sense_index": 1}.

We are given the target lemma "claim" with the surface form "claim". We need to choose the best sense from 6 options.

Context: The text is about a legal case, media coverage, and a specific claim made by lawyers that Twitter coverage (instant news) was more incendiary than slower reports. Journalists called this claim a Luddite view. The sentence: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view..." So here "claim" refers to an assertion that something is true or factual. The lawyers asserted that instant news was more incendiary. That's an assertion of fact.

Let's check candidate senses:

1. an assertion of a right (as to money or property) – example: his claim asked for damages. This doesn't fit because the claim here is about the effect of coverage, not a demand for rights or property.

2. an assertion that something is true or factual – example: his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims. This fits perfectly. The claim is that "instant news was more incendiary..." – an assertion of fact.

3. demand for something as rightful or due – example: they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day. Not a demand; it's a statement.

4. an informal right to something – example: his claim on her attentions. Not about a right.

5. an established or recognized right – example: a strong legal claim to the property. Not about a right.

6. a demand especially in the phrase – example: the call of duty. Not about a demand.

Thus, sense 2 is the best. Return JSON: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "news" in the given context. The target surface form is "news", and it appears in the phrase "instant news". The sentence is: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."

We need to choose the best indexed sense among the five provided. Let's analyze each sense in context:

Sense 1: "information about recent and important events" (synonyms: intelligence, tidings, word; examples: they awaited news of the outcome). This is a broad sense of news as information about events.

Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" (example: the news of my death was greatly exaggerated). This is more specific to reports in print media.

Sense 3: "a program devoted to current events, often using interviews and commentary" (synonyms: news program, news show; example: we watch the 7 o'clock news every night). This is a broadcast program.

Sense 4: "informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone" (example: it was news to me). This is a more informal sense, meaning something newly learned.

Sense 5: "the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins" (synonyms: newsworthiness; example: the judge conceded the newsworthiness of the trial; he is no longer news in the fashion world). This is about the quality of being newsworthy.

In the context, "instant news" refers to news delivered instantly, likely through Twitter and other media, as opposed to slower reports. The journalists are discussing the claim that instant coverage (like tweets) is more incendiary than slower reports. The phrase "instant news" is about the information being reported and disseminated quickly. It is not specifically about a news program (sense 3) because it's not a show; it's about the information itself. It could be sense 1 or sense 2. Sense 1 is broad: information about recent and important events. Sense 2 is information reported in a newspaper or news magazine, but here it's about media tweets and coverage, not necessarily newspapers. Sense 1 seems most fitting because "news" in "instant news" refers to the information about events being rapidly spread. The synonym "intelligence, tidings, word" fits the idea of reports or updates. Sense 2 is more tied to traditional print media, but the context mentions "media tweets, cameras and reporters", so it's not limited to newspapers. Sense 5 is about newsworthiness, but here "news" is the information itself, not the quality. Sense 4 is too informal and doesn't fit the journalistic context. Therefore, sense 1 is the best.

Let's double-check: The sentence: "the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly". Here, "news" is the information delivered. It is about the content of the news, not the program or newsworthiness. So sense 1 is appropriate.

Answer: {"sense_index": 1}
