Target lemma: guest
Target surface form: guests
Context:
Clement's law firm, Bancroft PLLC, was one of almost two dozen firms that helped sponsor the annual dinner of the Federalist Society, a longstanding group dedicated to advocating conservative legal principles. Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business. Another sponsor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured <t>guests</t> at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=guest%1:18:00:: | definition=a visitor to whom hospitality is extended | synonyms=invitee

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "guests" in the given context. The target word is "guests", surface form "guests". The context: "The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas." They are attending a dinner. The dinner is an annual dinner of the Federalist Society, held at a hotel. So the guests here are people who are invited to attend an event, specifically the featured guests at the dinner. The context makes clear they are attendees, not hotel customers per se (though the dinner is at a hotel, they are guests at the dinner, not necessarily hotel guests). Sense 1: "a visitor to whom hospitality is extended" with synonym "invitee" fits well: they are invited guests to the dinner. Sense 3: "a customer of a hotel or restaurant etc." might also be considered, but they are not customers; they are invited attendees at a private dinner, not paying customers at a restaurant. The context says "the dinner was held at a Washington hotel", but they are guests at the dinner, not necessarily hotel guests. Sense 2 is a person, not applicable. Sense 4 is computer science, not applicable. So sense 1 is best. But let's confirm: "featured guests at the dinner" clearly means they were invited and honored as guests. Synonyms: invitee. So it's sense 1.

Thus answer: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We are asked to choose the best indexed sense for "dinner" in the given context. The target lemma is "dinner" and the surface form is "dinner". The context describes a dinner event: "the annual dinner of the Federalist Society", "another firm that sponsored the dinner", "the dinner was held at a Washington hotel", "the featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas." So it's clearly a social gathering, a dinner event, not just the meal itself. The senses are: sense 1: the main meal of the day served in the evening or at midday; sense 2: a party of people assembled to have dinner together (synonym: dinner party). The context indicates it's a dinner event with guests, so sense 2 is more appropriate. The examples for sense 2: "guests should never be late to a dinner party" fits with "featured guests" and "in attendance was". So I'll select sense_index 2.

reasoning_content: We are asked to disambiguate "justices" in the context. The target surface form is "justices" (plural). The context is about a dinner event where the featured guests were Scalia and Thomas. The sentence: "The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years." So, "justices" refers to people—specifically, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who are Supreme Court justices. So the correct sense is the one referring to a public official, a judge. That is sense index 3: "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice | synonyms=judge, jurist". The other senses: 1 is quality of being just, 2 is judgment in determination of rights, 4 is the Department of Justice. Clearly, 3 fits. So the answer is 3.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "events" in the provided context. The target lemma is "event", surface form "events". We have four candidate senses.

Context: "... The two justices have been attending Federalist Society <t>events</t> for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules."

We need to determine which sense is intended.

Sense 1: "something that happens at a given place and time" - This is a very general sense of an event as an occurrence.

Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" (synonyms: case) with examples like "in that event" meaning "if that happens". This is more abstract, used in conditional phrases.

Sense 3: "a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time; the fundamental observational entity in relativity theory" - This is a physics-specific sense, unlikely in this context.

Sense 4: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon" (synonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, etc.) - This is about cause and effect, like an outcome.

In the context, "Federalist Society events" refers to gatherings, meetings, dinners, etc., organized by the Federalist Society. That aligns with sense 1: something that happens at a given place and time, like a planned social occasion. The text mentions a dinner sponsored by firms, held at a hotel, attended by justices. So "events" here are these organized occasions.

Sense 2 is not appropriate because it's about hypothetical situations ("in that event"). Sense 3 is about physics. Sense 4 is about consequences, not appropriate here.

Thus, the best choice is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate "years" in the sentence: "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years." The context is about Justices Scalia and Thomas attending events for a long time. The candidate senses include:

1. years%1:28:00:: (old age, age, eld, geezerhood) -> meaning late in life, not fitting here.
2. years%1:28:01:: (long time, age) -> "a prolonged period of time", examples: "we've known each other for ages; I haven't been there for years and years"
3. years%1:28:02:: (days) -> "the time during which someone's life continues", examples: "the monarch's last days; in his final years"
4. year%1:28:01:: (year, twelvemonth, yr) -> "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days", e.g., "she is 4 years old"
5. year%1:28:02:: (year) -> "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year...", e.g., "a school year"
6. year%1:28:00:: (year) -> astronomical year
7. class%1:14:04:: (class, year) -> "a body of students who graduate together"

The phrase "for years" idiomatically means "for a long time". The best match is sense 2: a prolonged period of time, synonyms long time, age. That fits perfectly. Sense 4 is plural "years", but it would mean literally a number of calendar years, but "for years" is an idiom meaning many years, not just any number of years. The context: "It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years." This implies they have been attending for a long time. So sense 2 is the correct one.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index":

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target lemma "rule" with surface form "rules" in the given context. We have 12 candidate senses with definitions, synonyms, and examples. We need to choose the single best indexed sense.

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."

The target is "ethics rules". Here, "rules" likely refers to prescribed guidelines or regulations governing conduct. Specifically, "ethics rules" are rules that dictate ethical behavior. The context mentions "Code of Conduct" which is a set of rules. So sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript) fits well. Also sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" with synonyms regulation could work, but sense 1 is about customary behavior, while ethics rules are formal prescriptions. The examples for sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation" show it's more about personal habits or customary regulations, not necessarily a formal code. Sense 3 is specifically "prescribed guide for conduct or action" which matches a code of ethics. Sense 8 is about game rules, not applicable. Sense 9 religious rules, not applicable. Sense 10 natural phenomena, no. Sense 11 mathematics, no. Sense 12 measuring stick, no. So the best is sense 3.

Check if there's a sense for "regulation" or "prescript" that matches "ethics rules". Yes, sense 3: prescribed guide for conduct or action. Synonyms: prescript. So I'll choose index 3.

We are asked to disambiguate "justices" in the given context. The target word is "justices" (plural of justice). The context talks about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a dinner. It says: "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years." And later: "In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices." So clearly, "justices" refers to judges, specifically Supreme Court justices.

Let's check the candidate senses:

1. justice%1:07:00:: the quality of being just or fair (abstract concept)
2. justice%1:04:00:: judgment involved in determination of rights and assignment of rewards/punishments (also abstract)
3. justice%1:18:00:: a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice (judge, jurist) - this matches the context.
4. justice%1:14:00:: the United States federal department (Department of Justice) - this does not match.

Therefore, sense 3 is correct. The instruction says to return a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}. So the answer should be {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "action", which appears as "actions" in the context. The context is about Supreme Court justices attending a dinner event. The sentence: "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." So "actions" here refers to the behavior or conduct of lower federal justices, which is governed by a Code of Conduct. The best sense should be related to behavior, deeds, something done. Looking at the candidates:

1. action%1:04:02:: definition=something done (usually as opposed to something said). This seems very general: any deed. "There were stories of murders and other unnatural actions" — actions here are deeds, things done. In the context, the "actions" of judges are the things they do, their conduct. This fits.

2. action%1:26:00:: definition=the state of being active. Synonyms: activity, activeness. Examples: his sphere of activity; he is out of action. This is about being active vs. inactive. Not fitting.

3. military engagement. No.

4. natural process. No.

5. series of events that form a plot. No.

6. trait of being active and energetic. "a man of action" — not fitting.

7. operating part of a mechanism. No.

8. judicial proceeding. "legal action, action at law" — this refers to a lawsuit, not the general behavior of judges. The context is about conduct, not a lawsuit.

9. an act by a government body or supranational organization. "recent federal action" — this is about actions by an entity like the federal government. The judges are lower federal justices, so their actions could be considered actions by a government body? But the Code of Conduct governs their personal conduct, not official acts as a body. And the example talks about federal action as a policy. Not fitting.

10. the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field. "the action is in municipal bonds" — not fitting.

The most straightforward fit is sense 1: something done. The Code of Conduct governs the things that lower federal justices do, their behavior. The example "there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions" shows actions as deeds. In context, "actions of lower federal justices" means their deeds, what they do.

Sense 9 could be considered if we interpret the actions of justices as actions by a government body. However, the justices are individuals, and the Code of Conduct likely governs personal conduct, like attending events. The dinner event context: justices attending a dinner. The Code of Conduct exemption is about ethical behavior. So it's about their personal actions, not official acts of a government body like a federal action. Also, the definition for sense 9 says "by a government body or supranational organization" and examples are about federal action and UN action. That seems more about policy actions, not individual conduct. Lower federal justices are part of the judiciary, but the "actions" here are things they do as individuals. So sense 1 is better.

Thus, sense_index = 1.

In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. 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 <t>justices</t>. 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."

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense index for "justices" in the given context. The target word is "justices" which is a plural noun. The context is about U.S. Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas) attending a Federalist Society event. The sentence specifically says: "In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal <t>justices</t>." So here "justices" refers to judges, specifically Supreme Court justices.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. justice%1:07:00:: - quality of being just (abstract noun)
2. justice%1:04:00:: - judgment involved in determination of rights (abstract concept)
3. justice%1:18:00:: - a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice (synonyms: judge, jurist) -> This is a person, a judge.
4. justice%1:14:00:: - the United States federal department (Department of Justice)

The context clearly refers to people: Scalia and Thomas are justices, and the discussion is about ethics rules for judges. So sense 3 is the correct one.

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

Context:
In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. 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 <t>code</t>'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.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "code" in the given context. The target surface form is "code", and it appears in the phrase "fell under <t>code</t>'s Canon 4C". The context mentions "the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices", and later "fell under code's Canon 4C", implying that "code" refers to a set of rules or principles. The candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=code%1:10:01:: definition=a set of rules or principles or laws (especially written ones) synonyms=codification
2. sense_key=code%1:10:00:: definition=a coding system used for transmitting messages requiring brevity or secrecy
3. sense_key=code%1:10:02:: definition=(computer science) the symbolic arrangement of data or instructions in a computer program or the set of such instructions synonyms=computer code

Clearly, in this legal context, "code" refers to a set of rules or a code of conduct. Sense 1 fits perfectly: "a set of rules or principles or laws (especially written ones)". The mention of "Code of Conduct" earlier directly supports this sense. Therefore, the best indexed sense is 1.

So, the JSON response should be {"sense_index": 1}.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "events" in the given context. The target form is "events" (plural). The lemma is "event". We have four candidate senses:

1. sense_key=event%1:03:00:: | definition=something that happens at a given place and time
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

Look at context: "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years." And later: "A judge may attend fund-raising <t>events</t> of law-related and other organizations ..." So the word refers to gatherings or functions organized by an organization (Federalist Society events, fund-raising events). These are occurrences that happen at a specific time and place, typically social or professional gatherings. Not a set of circumstances (sense 2), not a physics phenomenon (sense 3), not a causal consequence (sense 4). Sense 1, "something that happens at a given place and time", fits perfectly: an organized occasion such as a meeting, dinner, fundraiser. The examples in sense 2 are about hypothetical situations ("in that event"), not physical gatherings. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 1}

We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for "organizations" in the given context. The target lemma is "organization", surface form "organizations". We have 7 candidate senses with definitions, synonyms, and examples. We need to choose the best index.

Context: The sentence containing the target is: "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other <t>organizations</t> although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." This is part of a quote from ethics rules (Canon 4C). So "organizations" here refers to groups or entities that hold fund-raising events. In the broader context, these are likely groups like the Federalist Society, which is a society or association. Sense 1: "a group of people who work together" (synonyms: organisation). That fits well: organizations like the Federalist Society are groups of people working together. Sense 3: "the persons (or committees etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something" (synonyms: administration, governance, governing body, etc.) This sense is more about governing bodies or administrative entities, not general groups like a law-related society. Sense 2: arrangement, classification - fits a different context. Sense 4: the act of organizing a business - not appropriate. Sense 5: an ordered manner - not a group. Sense 6: distributing or disposing persons or things - not. Sense 7: the act of forming something - not a group. So clearly, sense 1 is the best: a group of people who work together, i.e., an organisation. Also note the quote distinguishes "law-related and other organizations", meaning groups, societies, associations. Sense index 1.

We are asked to disambiguate the word "judge" in the given context. The target is "judge" within a quote from a Code of Conduct: "A judge may attend fund-raising events...". The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a Federalist Society event. The quote explains an ethics rule: although lower federal judges are governed by a Code of Conduct, justices are exempt. But if they were covered, the rule says a judge may attend fundraising events but not be a speaker, guest of honor, or featured program. So here "judge" refers to a public official who decides legal cases, not an evaluator of worth or quality. The synonyms for sense 1: justice, jurist, which fit the judicial context. Sense 2 is about an evaluator, like a talent judge. Given the legal setting, sense 1 is correct.

Thus, sense_index is 1.

We are asked to choose the best sense for "program" in the context: "featured on the <t>program</t> of such an event." The text mentions Canon 4C: "A judge may attend fund-raising events ... although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." So "program" here refers to the list or schedule of activities at an event, where someone might be listed as a featured participant. Sense 5 is: "an announcement of the events that will occur as part of a theatrical or sporting event" with synonyms "programme" and example "you can't tell the players without a program". That fits perfectly: the program of an event is the printed or announced list of events, and being "featured on the program" means being prominently listed. Sense 8: "a performance (or series of performances) at a public presentation" doesn't fit because that refers to the event itself, not the listing. Sense 3 is about a broadcast show. Sense 1 and 2 are about plans. So sense 5 is correct.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 5}.

We are given a target lemma "event" with context. The target surface form is "event" and the context: "In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. 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 <t>event</t>.' 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."

We need disambiguate the word "event" at the position marked <t>event</t>. The sentence is: "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." So the word "event" here refers to a gathering, a happening, specifically a fund-raising event. It's a planned occasion or activity.

Now, look at 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 occurrence. Could fit, but might be too broad. Fund-raising events are indeed something that happens at a given place and time.
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 case, like "in the event that..." Not a physical gathering. Doesn't fit.
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 physics, spacetime event. Not relevant.
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. This is about cause and effect, not a planned gathering.

So clearly, sense 1 is the correct one. It refers to an occurrence, a happening, like a fund-raising event. Sense 2 is a metaphorical usage (case). Sense 3 is physics. Sense 4 is consequence. So sense 1 is the best.

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

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 <t>proximity</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "proximity" in the given context. The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a Federalist Society event, and the concern is about their "proximity" to law firms involved in a case and a company with a financial interest. The word "proximity" here is used to indicate how close they were to these entities, likely in a social or professional setting, implying a close association or nearness that might raise ethical concerns.

Now, examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=proximity%1:07:00:: | definition=the property of being close together | synonyms=propinquity
2. sense_key=proximity%1:15:00:: | definition=the region close around a person or thing
3. sense_key=proximity%1:09:00:: | definition=a Gestalt principle of organization holding that (other things being equal) objects or events that are near to one another (in space or time) are perceived as belonging together as a unit | synonyms=law of proximity

Sense 1 is the general property of being close together. That seems to fit: the sheer property of being close together (in a social context) was alarming. The context says "the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms..." So it's about the fact that they were close to the law firms, i.e., the property of being near them.

Sense 2 is "the region close around a person or thing." That is more about the area surrounding someone, like "in the proximity of the building." It's a noun referring to the area, not the property. The context uses "proximity of A to B", not "in the proximity of". It's a bit abstract: the proximity was enough to alarm activists. So it's not referring to a region, but to the nearness itself.

Sense 3 is a technical term from Gestalt psychology about perception. That doesn't fit at all; the context isn't about perception principles.

Thus, sense 1 is the most appropriate: the property of being close together. The synonyms "propinquity" can also mean nearness in relationship or kinship, which fits the social context. Sense 2 is close but more concrete, while here it's the abstract property.

Thus, answer: sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to disambiguate the word "case" in the given context. The context is about Supreme Court justices Scalia and Thomas attending a Federalist Society dinner, and the concern about their proximity to law firms in a particular "case". The sentence: "Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the <t>case</t>, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists."

We need to choose the best sense from the list. Let's analyze: The context talks about "law firms in the case" – this clearly refers to a legal case, i.e., a lawsuit or court proceeding. The justices might be involved in hearing that case. So it's about a legal proceeding. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. occurrence: doesn't fit legal context.
2. special set of circumstances: could be "in that event", but here it's "in the case", referring to a specific legal matter.
3. lawsuit, suit: this is exactly a proceeding in a court of law. Synonyms: lawsuit, suit, cause, causa. Examples: "the family brought suit". This fits perfectly.
4. actual state of things: "that was not the case" means that was not true. Not applicable here.
5. portable container: no.
6. person requiring professional services: could be a client, but here "law firms in the case" means the firms involved in the legal proceeding, not a person.
7. person subjected to experimental procedures: no.
8. problem requiring investigation: like a detective case. But here it's a legal case, which is more specifically a lawsuit. However, sense 8 might overlap, but sense 3 is explicitly for court proceedings.
9. statement of facts to support an argument: not a physical case.
10. quantity contained: no.
11. grammatical case: no.
12. state of mind: no.
13. person with eccentricities: no.
14. typeface: no.
15. enveloping structure: no.
16. housing: no.
17. frame around door/window: no.
18. printing receptacle: no.
19. pillowcase: no.
20. display case: no.

The context clearly indicates a legal proceeding. Sense 3 is specifically "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy". That is exactly what is meant by "the law firms in the case". So sense 3 is the best.

Thus, the answer is sense index 3.

The context: "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".

That matches sense_index 1. Let's check all: sense 1: institution for business, examples with "company". Sense 2: military unit. Sense 3: state of being with someone (companionship). Sense 4: troupe (performers). Sense 5: social/business visitor. Sense 6: social gathering. Sense 7: band of people temporarily associated (party). Sense 8: ship's crew. Sense 9: firefighter unit.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "interest" with target surface form "interest" in a specific context. The context is about Supreme Court justices attending a Federalist Society event with law firms and a company that has a massive financial interest. The phrase is "a company with a massive financial interest". So we need to disambiguate which sense of "interest" is used here.

We have 7 candidate senses. Let's analyze each:

1. sense_key=interest%1:09:00: a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something. Example: an interest in music. This is about curiosity or concern, not financial.

2. sense_key=interest%1:07:01: a reason for wanting something done; synonyms=sake. Example: for your sake. This is about benefit or advantage, like "in the interest of safety". This could be related, but the phrase "financial interest" suggests a stake.

3. sense_key=interest%1:07:02: the power of attracting or holding one's attention. Synonyms=interestingness. Example: they said nothing of great interest. This is about being interesting, not financial.

4. sense_key=interest%1:21:00: a fixed charge for borrowing money; usually a percentage. Example: how much interest do you pay on your mortgage? This is interest on a loan, not a financial interest in a company.

5. sense_key=interest%1:21:03: (law) a right or legal share of something; a financial involvement with something. Synonyms=stake. Examples: they have interests all over the world; a stake in the company's future. This is about financial stake or involvement. The context says "a company with a massive financial interest" – this likely means a company that has a significant financial stake in the outcome of the case, or a financial involvement. So this sense fits perfectly: a legal right or financial involvement with something.

6. sense_key=interest%1:14:00: (usually plural) a social group whose members control some field of activity and who have common aims. Example: the iron interests stepped up production. This is about interest groups like "oil interests", but here it's "a company with a massive financial interest", not a social group. The company might have an interest (stake), not be an interest group.

7. sense_key=interest%1:04:01: a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts (usually pleasantly). Example: sailing is her favorite pastime. Not relevant.

Clearly, sense 5 is the most appropriate: a financial involvement or stake.

Therefore, the answer is sense index 5.

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."

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Choose the single best indexed sense." The target is "breach" in the context: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code..." The candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=breach%1:04:01:: | definition=a failure to perform some promised act or obligation
2. sense_key=breach%1:17:00:: | definition=an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification)
3. sense_key=breach%1:11:00:: | definition=a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions) | synonyms=rupture, break, severance, rift, falling out | examples=they hoped to avoid a break in relations

The phrase "breach of ethics" clearly means a violation or failure to uphold ethical standards. This matches sense 1: "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation" – here, it's a failure to abide by ethical rules. Sense 2 (opening) doesn't fit. Sense 3 (personal or social separation) doesn't fit either; it's about a separation between groups, not a breach of rules. So the best is sense 1.

We are given a target word: "indifference". The context is: "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.

We need to choose the best sense among four candidate senses. Let's analyze each:

Sense 1: sense_key=indifference%1:12:00:: | definition=unbiased impartial unconcern. Wait, "unbiased impartial unconcern" seems like a mix. Probably "unbiased impartial unconcern" but that doesn't sound right. Actually, WordNet gloss might be: "unbiased impartial unconcern" - I think it's "unbiased impartial unconcern"? That seems like a typo. Let me check: In WordNet, indifference can mean "unbiased impartial unconcern" but that is not a typical phrase. Possibly it's "unbiased impartial unconcern" meaning lack of bias, impartiality. But that doesn't fit well with "breach of ethics and indifference to the code". Here, indifference to the code means lack of concern for the code, not impartiality. So not sense 1.

Sense 2: definition=apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions. Synonyms: emotionlessness, impassivity, impassiveness, phlegm, stolidity, unemotionality. This is about lack of emotion. In the context, "indifference to the code" suggests a lack of concern, but it might be more about not caring, rather than absence of emotional reactions. The phrase "stunning breach of ethics and indifference" pairs breach (violation) with indifference (lack of care). It might be about a casual lack of concern.

Sense 3: definition=the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally. Synonyms: apathy, numbness, spiritlessness. This is a general trait of lacking interest. That could fit: showing indifference to the code means they lack interest in following it.

Sense 4: definition=the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern. Synonyms: nonchalance, unconcern. This emphasizes a casual lack of concern, seeming not to care. "Indifference to the code" implies they don't care about the code, a casual disregard. That seems to match the context: the justices are accused of being indifferent to the ethics code, meaning they show a lack of concern, an unconcern. It's not about emotional reactions (sense 2) or general lack of interest (sense 3) as a personality trait, but more a specific lack of concern in this situation. The phrase "breach of ethics and indifference to the code" suggests they violated the code and were indifferent to it, meaning they didn't care.

Sense 2 is about absence of emotional reactions, which is more about being unemotional. But here, indifference is about not caring about the rules, which is a lack of concern. Sense 4's synonym "unconcern" is exactly that. Sense 3 is about general apathy, but the context is specific to the code, not a general trait. Sense 4's "nonchalance" and "unconcern" fit better.

Thus, I choose sense 4.

Now, output as JSON: {"sense_index": 4}

2. code as a coding system for transmitting messages requiring brevity or secrecy.
3. code as (computer science) the symbolic arrangement of data or instructions in a computer program or the set of such instructions, synonyms: computer code.

In the context: "They arguably fell under code's Canon 4C" and "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the <t>code</t> belies claims..." Clearly, it's referring to a set of ethical rules or a code of conduct. So sense 1 is the correct one.
