We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'run' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Potential candidates may be discouraged from <t>running</t> less by the congressional salary than by the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent.

Senses: [list of 41 senses]"

We need to identify which sense corresponds to "running" in this context. The sentence talks about "potential candidates" being discouraged from "running". Here, "running" means running for office, i.e., competing in an election. Look at the list: sense 9 says "run, stand, or compete for an office or a position | examples=Who's running for treasurer this year?" That matches exactly. So the correct sense number is 9.

Sentence: "Potential candidates may be discouraged from running less by the congressional salary than by the <t>prospect</t> of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent."

Senses:
1. the possibility of future success | examples: his prospects as a writer are excellent
2. belief about (or mental picture of) the future
3. someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)
4. the visual percept of a region | examples: the most desirable feature of the park are the beautiful views
5. a prediction of the course of a disease

In the sentence, "prospect of defeat" means the idea or anticipation of defeat in the future. It is a mental picture or expectation of something happening. So sense 2: "belief about (or mental picture of) the future" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about possibility of future success, which is positive, but the sentence is about defeat. Sense 3 is a person, sense 4 is a view, sense 5 is medical. So the correct sense is 2.

We need to determine which sense is used. The sentence talks about "the prospect of defeat at the hands of a Democratic opponent." This refers to losing the election, which is an unsuccessful ending to a contest (sense 1). It's not about the feeling of defeat; it's the event of losing. So the answer is 1.

Senses:
1. definition=characterized by or advocating or based upon the principles of democracy or social equality; ; ; - George du Maurier | examples=democratic government
2. definition=belong to or relating to the Democratic Party | examples=Democratic senator
3. definition=representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large | examples=democratic art forms

Note the capitalization: in the sentence, the word is capitalized: "Democratic". This strongly suggests it's referring to the Democratic Party in the US (or a similar party). The context: "congressional salary" and "Democratic opponent" (political opponent). So it's sense 2.

Check: Sense 2 says "belong to or relating to the Democratic Party" with example "Democratic senator". That fits perfectly.

Thus answer is 2

Senses:
1. definition=a contestant that you are matched against
2. definition=someone who offers opposition

We need to pick the sense that fits the usage of "opponent" in the sentence. The word "opponent" here refers to a Democratic opponent in a political race. A political opponent is someone you are matched against in an election, i.e., a contestant. Sense 1: "a contestant that you are matched against" fits perfectly. Sense 2: "someone who offers opposition" is broader and could include anyone opposing, but in the context of a candidate running for office, they are matched against an opponent in a contest. Sense 1 is more specific to contests, games, elections. Thus, the answer is 1.

Sentence: "To the <t>extent</t> that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

Senses:
1. the point or degree to which something extends | examples: the extent of the damage
2. the distance or area or volume over which something extends | examples: the vast extent of the desert

We need to decide which sense applies. The phrase is "To the extent that...". This is an idiomatic expression meaning "insofar as" or "to the degree that". It refers to a degree or point, not a physical distance or area. Sense 1 fits: "the point or degree to which something extends". The example "the extent of the damage" also refers to degree. Sense 2 is about physical extent (distance, area, volume). Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: To the extent that <t>potential</t> Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates.

Senses:
1. definition=existing in possibility | examples=a potential problem
2. definition=expected to become or be; in prospect | examples=potential clients

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "potential" is used in the given sentence. The word in question is "potential" modifying "Republican candidates". We have two senses:

1. existing in possibility | examples: a potential problem
2. expected to become or be; in prospect | examples: potential clients

We need to choose between sense 1 and sense 2 based on the sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

Here, "potential Republican candidates" means people who might become candidates, i.e., they are possible candidates, not yet actual candidates. This aligns with sense 2: "expected to become or be; in prospect | examples: potential clients". "Potential clients" are people who might become clients, similar to potential candidates who might become candidates. Sense 1 "existing in possibility" is similar but sense 2 specifically captures the idea of someone who is expected to become something. The example "a potential problem" is about something that could be a problem, but "potential Republican candidates" refers to people who could become candidates. The phrasing "in prospect" and "expected to become" fits better with candidates. In many dictionaries, "potential" as an adjective has a sense for "possible as opposed to actual" and another for "capable of being or becoming". But here the two definitions are very close. "Existing in possibility" is broader. "Potential clients" is given as example for sense 2, which is exactly analogous to "potential candidates". Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

I'll return only the number.

Sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican <t>candidates</t> and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

The word "candidates" is tagged. We have two senses:

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

The sentence talks about "potential Republican candidates" and "congressional candidates". Clearly, these are politicians running for public office (Congress). So sense 1 is more specific and accurate. Sense 2 is broader, but in this context, it's specifically a politician running for public office. Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'realize' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers <t>realize</t> that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

The senses provided:
1. definition=be fully aware or cognizant of
2. definition=perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | examples=Now I see!
3. definition=make real or concrete; give reality or substance to | examples=our ideas must be substantiated into actions
4. definition=earn on some commercial or business transaction; earn as salary or wages | examples=How much do you make a month in your new job?
5. definition=convert into cash; of goods and property
6. definition=expand or complete (a part in a piece of baroque music) by supplying the harmonies indicated in the figured bass

In the sentence, "realize" is used in the context of candidates and backers becoming aware or understanding that a situation works to their disadvantage. The meaning is "be fully aware or cognizant of" (sense 1) or "perceive mentally" (sense 2). Sense 1 says "be fully aware or cognizant of". Sense 2 says "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" with example "Now I see!" Both are close, but "realize that..." typically matches "be fully aware or cognizant of" or "perceive mentally". The word "realize" here means "to become aware of". Let's check subtle differences: Sense 1 is a state of being aware; sense 2 is the act of perceiving. In the sentence, it's about them coming to the realization (or if they already do). But which numbered sense fits best? The example in sense 2 is "Now I see!" which is the moment of understanding. The phrasing "realize that..." is often defined as "become fully aware of (something) as a fact; understand clearly." Often dictionaries list "be fully aware or cognizant of" as a synonym. I need to choose between 1 and 2. However, looking closely, sense 1 says "be fully aware or cognizant of" – that's the definition. Sense 2 says "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally". They are similar. But many dictionaries have a primary sense: "to become aware of" or "to understand clearly". Could sense 2 be more accurate because it's about perceiving mentally? Often "realize" in "realize that..." is defined as "to understand or become aware of a particular fact or situation". Sense 1 says "be fully aware or cognizant of". That's a state. The sentence says "To the extent that ... realize that ..." it could be interpreted as "are aware that" or "come to perceive that". Both are valid. But the example "Now I see!" matches "perceive mentally" which is the act of coming to understand. However, the phrase "realize that" can be simply "are aware that". I wonder if the test expects sense 1. Let's see typical WordNet senses:
- Sense 1: be fully aware or cognizant of
- Sense 2: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally; "Now I see!"; "I just realized how silly he is"
In WordNet, "realize" verbs:
1. (1) realize, realise, understand, see, comprehend, grasp, savvy, dig, get the picture, grok, apprehend, copp, comp (be fully aware or cognizant of)
2. (2) understand, realize, realise, see (perceive (an idea or situation) mentally) "Now I see!"; "I just realized how silly he is"
3. (3) realize, realise, actualize, actualise (make real or concrete; give reality or substance to) "our ideas must be substantiated into actions"
4. (4) gain, take in, clear, make, earn, realize, realise, pull in, bring in (earn on some commercial or business transaction; earn as salary or wages) "How much do you make a month in your new job?"
5. (5) realize, realise (convert into cash; of goods and property)
6. (6) realize, realise (expand or complete (a part in a piece of baroque music) by supplying the harmonies indicated in the figured bass)

In WordNet, sense 1: "be fully aware or cognizant of" is the first sense, and sense 2: "perceive mentally" is the second. The example "Now I see!" is given for sense 2. The sentence is "realize that...". Which sense? In WordNet, both senses can take a clause. Often, "realize that" meaning "become aware" is considered sense 1? Let's check typical usage: "I realized that I was wrong" – WordNet would probably tag it as sense 1? Actually, WordNet's sense 1 examples might include "I realize that..." whereas sense 2 "perceive mentally" is often "Now I see!" The distinction is fine: sense 1 is stative (know, be aware), sense 2 is inchoative (come to perceive). The phrase "to the extent that they realize that" could be either "are aware that" or "come to realize that". Since it's "realize that", without context of change, it's likely "be aware". The sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage..." This is stative: if they are aware of this fact. So sense 1 is "be fully aware or cognizant of". I'll go with 1. However, some might argue it's sense 2. But the example "Now I see!" is clearly the moment of realization. The sentence doesn't emphasize the moment of realization, but the state of awareness. So I pick 1.

We need to determine which numbered sense of "work" applies to the sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game <t>works</t> to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

We are to return only the number of the correct sense from the list. The word is "works" in the context "the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage". Let's examine the senses.

Sense 3: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected" with example "The voting process doesn't work as well as people thought". This fits: the game works to their disadvantage means it has an effect/outcome that is to their disadvantage.

Sense 15: "have and exert influence or effect" with example "The artist's work influenced the young painter". But note the example uses "work" as a noun? "The artist's work..." Actually, the definition says "have and exert influence or effect". In the sentence, "works to their disadvantage" could mean operates or has an effect. Sense 3 seems more direct: "have an effect or outcome; often the one desired or expected". It fits perfectly: "the game works to their disadvantage" = the game has an effect that is to their disadvantage. Sense 15 might also fit, but sense 3 is about having an effect, particularly an outcome. Let's verify sense 15: "have and exert influence or effect". But the example is ambiguous: "The artist's work influenced..." is "work" a noun there? Yes, "The artist's work" is a noun. But the definition is for a verb? The word "work" is a verb in the sentence. In sense 15, "have and exert influence or effect" might be a verb sense (e.g., "The artist's work influenced..." is using "work" as noun? Actually the sentence says "The artist's work influenced..." so "work" is the subject, a noun. Wait, the sense definition says "have and exert influence or effect", but the example shows "The artist's work influenced..." - here "work" is a noun. That might be a mistake or the example uses "work" as a noun while the definition is for the verb "work"? I should check: The list is of senses for the word "work". Some senses might be nouns? But the sentence uses "works" as a verb. The definitions given mostly look like verbs. For sense 15, "have and exert influence or effect" - could be a verb: "His charisma works on people." The example given is "The artist's work influenced the young painter" where "work" is a noun. That's odd. Maybe the example is poorly chosen but the sense is verb? Let's see others. Sense 3 is clearly a verb: "have an effect or outcome". That matches "works to their disadvantage" perfectly. "Work to someone's disadvantage" is an idiomatic phrase meaning "has the effect of disadvantaging them". Therefore, sense 3 is the correct choice.

I'll output: 3

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

Sentence: To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be <t>hindered</t> in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates.

Senses:
1. definition=be a hindrance or obstacle to | examples=She is impeding the progress of our project
2. definition=hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of | examples=His brother blocked him at every turn
3. definition=put at a disadvantage | examples=The brace I have to wear is hindering my movements

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'hinder' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that potential Republican candidates and their financial backers realize that the congressional prisoner's dilemma game works to their disadvantage, the Republican Party will be <t>hindered</t> in its attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates."

Senses:
1. be a hindrance or obstacle to (example: She is impeding the progress of our project)
2. hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of (example: His brother blocked him at every turn)
3. put at a disadvantage (example: The brace I have to wear is hindering my movements)

We need to pick which sense fits the usage in the sentence. The sentence says: "the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive slate..." That means something will impede or obstruct its attempts. It's about making the progress or accomplishment of fielding candidates more difficult. Sense 1: "be a hindrance or obstacle to" and Sense 2: "hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of". They are very similar. The difference: Sense 2 explicitly mentions "hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of", which directly matches "hindered in its attempts to field..." The attempt is the progress/accomplishment. Sense 1 is "be a hindrance or obstacle to", example: "She is impeding the progress of our project." Both are close. Sense 3 is "put at a disadvantage", example: "The brace... is hindering my movements." The sentence says "hindered in its attempts", meaning its ability to field candidates is obstructed, not that it's put at a general disadvantage (though that could be an effect). The phrasing "hindered in its attempts" aligns with sense 2 because it's about preventing the progress or accomplishment of an attempt. The example for sense 2: "His brother blocked him at every turn" also implies obstructing attempts. I think sense 2 is the most precise. However, let's double-check. The definitions:
1. be a hindrance or obstacle to
2. hinder or prevent the progress or accomplishment of
The word "hinder" itself is used in the definition of 2, but that's just a synonym. The sentence is "will be hindered in its attempts", meaning the attempts to field candidates will face obstacles, i.e., the progress or accomplishment of fielding candidates is hindered. That is sense 2. Sense 1 is "be a hindrance or obstacle to", which is also a valid general meaning. But "hinder" in the passive voice "be hindered" might be covered by sense 2's "hinder the progress or accomplishment of". The example for 2 is "His brother blocked him at every turn", which is an active obstruction of someone's progress. The sentence: "the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts..." means its attempts are hindered. So the attempts are the object of hinder. The attempts are the progress or accomplishment. That fits sense 2 perfectly. Sense 3 implies putting at a disadvantage, like a handicap. The brace hindering movements is a physical constraint. Here, it's more about obstacles to an attempt. I'd go with 2.

Thus, the answer is 2.

We need to determine which sense of "attempt" is used. The phrase is "attempts to field a competitive slate of congressional candidates." This is clearly about trying to do something, making an effort to field candidates. It is not about attacking. So sense 1 is the correct one.

Answer: 1

We need to determine which sense of "slate" fits the sentence: "the Republican Party will be hindered in its attempts to field a competitive <t>slate</t> of congressional candidates."

The word "slate" here refers to a list of candidates. Looking at the senses:

1. a writing tablet made of slate
2. thin layers of rock used for roofing
3. a fine-grained metamorphic rock that can be split into thin layers
4. a list of candidates nominated by a political party to run for election to public offices

Sense 4 is exactly this: "a list of candidates nominated by a political party to run for election to public offices." The sentence says "slate of congressional candidates". So the correct sense is 4.

2. definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)

The word is "candidates" and it's in the context of "congressional candidates". It clearly refers to politicians running for Congress, which is a public office. Sense 1 specifies "a politician who is running for public office". Sense 2 is more general. The context is specifically about politics ("Republican candidates", "congressional", "field a competitive slate"). So sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Thus answer is 1.

3. (followed by `of' or `to') having a strong preference or liking for | example: fond of chocolate

In the sentence, "a partial reason" means a reason that is not complete or total; it only explains part of the phenomenon. That matches sense 1. Sense 2 is about bias, sense 3 is about having a liking. So the answer is 1.

I'll output "1".

6. definition=a fact that logically justifies some premise or conclusion | examples=there is reason to believe he is lying

The sentence: "the theory may provide at least a partial reason for why ticket splitting has been particularly pronounced in the South." Here, "reason" means an explanation for a phenomenon. The theory provides an explanation of the cause of why ticket splitting is pronounced. This aligns with sense 2: "an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon". The example given for sense 2: "the reason a steady state was never reached was that the back pressure built up too slowly" matches the structure: reason for why something happened. Sense 1 is "rational motive for a belief or action" – more about motive. Sense 5 is "justification for something existing or happening", but "justification" often implies a normative reason, whereas here it's an explanatory reason. The sentence says "provide... a reason for why...", which is explaining the cause. So sense 2 is most appropriate. Thus answer is 2

Sentence: "To the <t>extent</t> that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

Senses:
1. definition=the point or degree to which something extends | examples=the extent of the damage
2. definition=the distance or area or volume over which something extends | examples=the vast extent of the desert

The phrase "To the extent that..." is a common idiomatic expression meaning "insofar as" or "to the degree that". This usage aligns with sense 1: "the point or degree to which something extends". Sense 2 refers to physical area/volume, which is not applicable here.

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

2. definition=belong to or relating to the Democratic Party | examples=Democratic senator
3. definition=representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large | examples=democratic art forms

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a list of numbered senses for the word "democratic", with the specific phrase in the sentence being "Democratic legislators". The sentence uses "Democratic" (capitalized). We need to determine which sense is being used.

Let's look at the sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South..."

The senses:

1. characterized by or advocating or based upon the principles of democracy or social equality (e.g., democratic government)
2. belong to or relating to the Democratic Party (e.g., Democratic senator)
3. representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large (e.g., democratic art forms)

The word is "Democratic" and it's capitalized. It refers to legislators, and in context it's about the Democratic Party (the political party in the US). The sentence talks about "Democratic legislators from the South" holding power in Congress. This clearly refers to members of the Democratic Party. Sense 2 fits perfectly.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'hold' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have <t>held</t> a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

We need to match the use of "held" in this context to one of the given senses.

First, look at the phrase: "have held a disproportionate share of power". "Held" here means "possessed" or "had" something abstract, like power. The object is "a disproportionate share of power". This is an abstract possession.

Check the senses:

1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., "keep clean" - No, not keeping state.
2. have or hold in one's hands or grip - No, not physical grip.
3. organize or be responsible for - Not exactly.
4. have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense - Examples: "She has $1,000 in the bank". This could fit: "have or possess ... power" (abstract sense). "Has a share of power".
5. keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view - No.
6. maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings) - No.
7. to close within bounds, limit or hold back from movement - No.
8. secure and keep for possible future use or application - Not really; it's about having power.
9. have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices - "She bears the title of Duchess" - Could be relevant: they hold a share of power, like holding an office? But "share of power" is not a title or office exactly; it's an abstract possession. Wait, "have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices" might fit if "power" is considered something you hold rightfully. But "have or possess" is broader.
10. be the physical support of - No.
11. contain or hold; have within - No.
12. have room for - No.
13. remain in a certain state - No.
14. support or hold in a certain manner - No.
15. be valid, applicable, or true - No.
16. assert or affirm - No.
17. have as a major characteristic - The novel holds many surprises - This could be similar: "the legislators hold a share of power"? It's like they possess it as a characteristic? But 4 is more direct: have or possess.
18. be capable of holding or containing - No.
19. arrange for and reserve - No.
20. protect against a challenge or attack - No.
21. bind by an obligation - No.
22. hold the attention of - No.
23. remain committed to - No.
24. resist or confront with resistance - No.
25. be pertinent or relevant - No.
26. stop dealing with - No.
27. lessen the intensity - No.
28. keep from departing - No.
29. take and maintain control over, often by violent means - "maintain control over" could be relevant: they held power means they had control. But "share of power" is not necessarily violent means, but "take and maintain control over" could be a sense. "The dissatisfied students held the President's office..." Here it's "held a disproportionate share of power". This is more about possessing power, not necessarily taking control by force. Sense 4 is "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". Sense 9 is "have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices". In political context, "hold power" often means "have power", "possess power". Sense 4 includes abstract sense. Let's compare.

30. cause to stop - No.
31. cover as for protection - No.
32. drink alcohol without showing ill effects - No.
33. aim, point, or direct - No.
34. declare to be - No.
35. be in accord - No.
36. keep from exhaling - No.

So 4 seems the best fit: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense". Example: "She has $1,000 in the bank" shows possession. "Hold power" is a classic abstract possession. Sense 9 says "have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices", but "share of power" isn't exactly a title or office, it's just power. "Hold office" would be sense 9. But here it's "held a disproportionate share of power". That is just having power. I think sense 4 is intended.

Let me double-check. In many dictionaries, "hold power" is under the sense of "possess, own, have". Yes.

Thus, the answer is 4.

We need to pick the sense from the given list:

1. assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash
2. any of the equal portions into which the capital stock of a corporation is divided and ownership of which is evidenced by a stock certificate | examples=he bought 100 shares of IBM at the market price
3. the allotment of some amount by dividing something | examples=death gets more than its share of attention from theologians
4. the part played by a person in bringing about a result | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project
5. a sharp steel wedge that cuts loose the top layer of soil

The context: "held a disproportionate share of power". This means they held an amount of power that is disproportionate relative to their numbers. This is about an allotment or portion of something (power) that is divided among groups. "Share" here means the portion or allotment of power that they have. It's not about assets (sense 1), not about stock shares (sense 2), not about a part played in bringing about a result (sense 4), and not a plowshare (sense 5). Sense 3: "the allotment of some amount by dividing something". The example given: "death gets more than its share of attention from theologians". That matches perfectly: "a disproportionate share of power" is analogous to "more than its share of attention". So sense 3 is the correct one.

Thus the answer is 3.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'power' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of <t>power</t> in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

We need to pick the sense number from the given list.

Let's analyze the sentence. "Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress..." Here, "power" refers to political influence, control, or authority within Congress. It's about holding a share of controlling influence in a legislative body. "Clout" is used as a synonym, meaning influence or power.

Now, examine the senses:

1. possession of controlling influence | examples=the deterrent power of nuclear weapons. This fits well: "power in Congress" means possessing controlling influence in Congress.

2. (physics) the rate of doing work; measured in watts (= joules/second). Not relevant.

3. possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done | examples=danger heightened his powers of discrimination. This is about personal abilities, not political influence in an institution.

4. (of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power | examples=being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage. This sense is specifically about "being in power" as in holding office. The sentence says "held a disproportionate share of power in Congress". They are legislators, so they hold office, but the phrase "share of power" suggests the influence they wield, not merely the fact of holding office. Sense 4 is the definition of the phrase "in power". But here it's "power in Congress", which might be more about influence. However, sense 4 says: "holding an office means being in power". They are in office, and they hold power. But the sentence says "share of power", which could be interpreted as the influence that comes from holding office. Often "power" in political context is sense 1: controlling influence. Let's compare.

5. one possessing or exercising power or influence or authority | examples=the mysterious presence of an evil power. Here "power" would be an entity, a powerful being. Not relevant.

6. mathematical notation. No.

7. physical strength. No.

8. a state powerful enough to influence events throughout the world. No.

9. a very wealthy or powerful businessman. No.

So between 1 and 4. The sentence: "held a disproportionate share of power in Congress... and have been able to translate such clout..." This indicates "power" means influence, clout. Sense 1 is "possession of controlling influence". Sense 4 is specifically "being in power" meaning holding office. But they are not just "in power" generally; they hold a share of power within Congress, meaning influence over decisions. Also, "translate such clout" emphasizes influence. So sense 1 seems more accurate.

Let's check WordNet or typical dictionary senses. The sentence is from a political science context. "Power" as controlling influence.

Thus, the correct sense is

2. definition=have the skills and qualifications to do things well | examples=able teachers
3. definition=having inherent physical or mental ability or capacity | examples=able to learn
4. definition=having a strong healthy body | examples=an able seaman

Analysis: In the sentence, "able" is part of the phrase "have been able to translate...". This means "have had the necessary means or skill or authority to translate...". It is followed by "to". Sense 1 specifically says "usually followed by 'to'" and matches exactly. Sense 3 is about inherent physical or mental ability, but the example "able to learn" is similar. However, sense 1 is more about having means/skill/know-how/authority, which fits the political context (having the power/clout to do something). Also, sense 1 explicitly mentions "usually followed by 'to'". The sentence uses "able to translate". So sense 1 is the most precise. Sense 3 is more about innate capacity. But let's see: "having inherent physical or mental ability or capacity" could also be argued, but sense 1 matches the "to" and the idea of having the means/authority (political clout). I'll go with 1.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'translate' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to <t>translate</t> such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

The word is "translate" and it's used as "translate such clout into relatively more local benefits". This is a metaphorical use: convert political power into benefits. The sense that matches is "be equivalent in effect" with example "the growth in income translates into greater purchasing power". Note: the example uses "translates into", but here it's "translate ... into". The sense 6 definition: "be equivalent in effect", examples: "the growth in income translates into greater purchasing power". That is exactly the meaning: convert one thing into another in terms of effect. So the answer is 6.

Let's verify other senses: 1 is language translation. 2 is change form/medium (like art). 3 is understand language. 4 spiritual. 5 physics. 6 is "be equivalent in effect". 7 is about translatability. 8 physics movement. 9 express in simple language. 10 biology. So sense 6 is correct.

Return only the number: 6.

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

Sentence: To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more <t>local</t> benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office.

Sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more <t>local</t> benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

Senses:
1. relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area | examples=local taxes
2. of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood | examples=local customs
3. affecting only a restricted part or area of the body | examples=local anesthesia

We need to determine which sense best matches "local benefits for their respective constituencies". The phrase "local benefits" here means benefits that go to their specific local districts or constituencies, as opposed to national or broader benefits. "Local" here refers to a particular locality or area (their constituencies). Sense 2 is "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood". That fits well: local benefits = benefits for a particular locality. Sense 1 is about administration of a city/town/district, like local taxes. While "local benefits" could be from local administration, the context is about legislators bringing benefits to their constituencies. It's more about the locality itself, the character of being local to that area. Sense 2 is the most direct match: benefits belonging to a particular locality. Sense 1 is more about the governing body of a smaller area. The sentence doesn't specifically refer to municipal administration; it's about bringing federal benefits to their local districts. So sense 2 is correct. Sense 3 is about the body, not relevant.

Thus answer is 2.

2. definition=something that aids or promotes well-being | examples=for the benefit of all
3. definition=a performance to raise money for a charitable cause

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "benefit" is used in the provided sentence. The sentence fragment contains "...relatively more local <t>benefits</t> for their respective constituencies...".

We have three senses:
1. financial assistance in time of need
2. something that aids or promotes well-being (example: for the benefit of all)
3. a performance to raise money for a charitable cause

The word "benefits" in the sentence is plural and refers to local advantages or goods that legislators bring to their constituencies. This fits sense 2: "something that aids or promotes well-being". It's not specifically financial assistance in time of need, nor a performance. It's about general well-being or advantages.

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have <t>had</t> an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

The highlighted word is "had". We need to determine which numbered sense of "have" it corresponds to. The senses are listed with definitions and examples.

The phrase is "have had an especially strong incentive". The object is "an especially strong incentive". The verb "have" here is used with an abstract noun phrase "incentive". This is a possessive or experiential sense. The meaning is "voters in the South have possessed an especially strong incentive". Look at the senses:
1. have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense. Example: She has $1,000 in the bank. Abstract possession like "has an incentive" fits.
2. have as a feature. Example: This restaurant features the most famous chefs. Not exactly.
3. go through (mental or physical states or experiences). Example: get an idea. "Have an incentive" is not exactly an experience; it's a state of possessing a motivation.
4. have ownership or possession of. Example: He owns three houses. This is more concrete ownership. "Incentive" is abstract.
But sense 1 specifically says "either in a concrete or an abstract sense" and "have or possess". That fits "have an incentive" perfectly. Sense 4 is ownership, but 1 is broader. "She has $1,000" is a concrete thing, but the definition says "abstract sense" as well, which covers "has an incentive". So 1 is the best match.

Check other senses:
11. undergo. Example: The stocks had a fast run-up. That's more like "experience".
12. suffer from. No.
13. cause to do. No.
14. receive. No.
15. get. No.

So "have an incentive" means "possess an incentive" in an abstract sense. Therefore, sense 1.

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

Sentence: To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially <t>strong</t> incentive to keep such Democrats in office.

Senses:
1. definition=having strength or power greater than average or expected | examples=a strong radio signal
2. definition=not faint or feeble | examples=a strong odor of burning rubber
3. definition=having or wielding force or authority | examples=providing the ground soldier with increasingly potent weapons

9. definition=freshly made or left | examples=a warm trail
10. definition=strong and sure | examples=a firm grasp

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "strong" matches the usage in the sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially <t>strong</t> incentive to keep such Democrats in office."

We need to consider the phrase "strong incentive". "Strong" here modifies "incentive", meaning a powerful or compelling incentive. It does not refer to physical strength, odor, authority, chemical effect, immunity to attack, solid build, verb inflection, alcohol content, freshness, or a firm grasp. It means having great power or influence, intensity. Let's check the senses:

1. having strength or power greater than average or expected | example: a strong radio signal. This could fit: a strong incentive is a powerful incentive.
2. not faint or feeble | example: a strong odor. This is about sensory intensity, smell. Could fit intensity, but "strong incentive" is more about power/force than sensory faintness.
3. having or wielding force or authority | example: providing the ground soldier with increasingly potent weapons. This pertains to force or authority, like powerful weapons. "Strong incentive" means compelling, forceful.
4. having a strong physiological or chemical effect | example: a potent toxin. Not relevant.
5. immune to attack; incapable of being tampered with | irrelevant.
6. of good quality and condition; solidly built | irrelevant.
7. of verbs... | irrelevant.
8. being distilled... | irrelevant.
9. freshly made or left | irrelevant.
10. strong and sure | example: a firm grasp. Not relevant.

Between 1 and 3, which is more appropriate? Sense 1: "having strength or power greater than average or expected" - "a strong radio signal". Sense 3: "having or wielding force or authority" - "potent weapons". "Strong incentive" means a very powerful or compelling incentive. I think sense 1 is more general: having strength or power. Sense 3 is more about force or authority, often associated with people or institutions wielding power. But an incentive is not wielding force or authority, it's a motivation. A "strong incentive" is a powerful one. The example for 1 is "a strong radio signal", which is signal strength/power. That aligns with a strong incentive. However, sometimes WordNet senses are specific. I'll check typical WordNet senses for "strong". WordNet often has:

Sense 1: having strength or power greater than average or expected ("a strong radio signal", "strong medicine", "a strong man")
Sense 2: not faint or feeble ("a strong odor")
Sense 3: having or wielding force or authority ("providing the ground soldier with increasingly potent weapons")
Sense 4: having a strong physiological or chemical effect ("a potent toxin", "potent liquor", "a potent cup of tea")

In WordNet, the word "strong" has many senses. The first sense usually encompasses physical power or intensity of effect. The example for sense 1 is "a strong radio signal". Is an incentive "strong" as in having strength or power? I think so. But let's check the gloss for sense 1: "having strength or power greater than average or expected". An incentive can be strong, meaning it has a lot of motivating power. Sense 3 says "having or wielding force or authority". "Force" could be metaphorical. But "authority" doesn't fit. I'd lean towards sense 1.

Let's double-check. The sentence uses "strong incentive" in the context of voters having a powerful reason. The senses provided seem to be derived from WordNet. WordNet 3.0 for "strong":

- S: (adj) strong (having strength or power greater than average or expected) "a strong radio signal"; "strong medicine"; "a strong man"
- S: (adj) strong (not faint or feeble) "a strong odor of burning rubber"
- S: (adj) potent, strong (having or wielding force or authority) "providing the ground soldier with increasingly potent weapons"
- S: (adj) potent, strong, stiff (having a strong physiological or chemical effect) "a potent toxin"; "potent liquor"; "a potent cup of tea"; "a stiff drink"
- etc.

Which sense fits "strong incentive"? "Strong incentive" means a powerful incentive. In WordNet mappings, "strong" in "strong incentive" might be tagged under sense 1. Let's think of collocations: "strong reason", "strong motivation". Usually it's sense 1: having power or intensity.

However, sometimes sense 3 (having or wielding force or authority) is used for abstractions? "Force" could be used. But "potent weapons" is the example; it implies something that exerts force. I think sense 1 is the most general and fits best.

Let's confirm with common usage. "A strong incentive" is similar to "a strong signal" in terms of intensity/power. Sense 2 is for sensory perception. Sense 1 is general strength. So I'll choose 1.

The question says: "Return only the number of the correct sense." So I will output "1".

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'keep' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to <t>keep</t> such Democrats in office."

We need to find the sense from the list that matches "keep" in "keep such Democrats in office".

Let's analyze: "keep such Democrats in office" means to retain them in their position, to continue having them in office. The phrase is "keep someone in office", i.e., to maintain them in that position.

Let's look at the senses:

1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., keep clean.
   Example: "keep clean". This is about keeping something in a state: "keep the house clean", "keep them in office" fits "keep in a certain state, position, or activity". The object is in a position (in office). So sense 1 seems plausible.

2. continue a certain state, condition, or activity. Example: Keep on working! This is intransitive? "Keep on working" – "keep" takes a gerund or particle? But here "keep such Democrats in office" has an object. So not quite sense 2.

3. retain possession of. Example: Can I keep my old stuffed animals? "Keep" meaning to not give away, retain. Does "keep Democrats in office" mean retain possession of Democrats? Not exactly; it's about keeping them in a certain position. Not literal possession.

4. stop (someone or something) from doing something... prevent. Not this.

5. conform one's action or practice to: keep appointments. Not this.

6. stick to correctly or closely: keep time. Not this.

7. look after; be the keeper of. Not this.

8. maintain by writing records: keep a diary.

9. supply with room and board.

10. allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature. Example: We cannot continue several servants any longer. This seems like "keep servants" meaning employ? "allow to remain in a place or position" – could fit: allow them to remain in office? But the example is odd: "We cannot continue several servants any longer" – "continue" is the gloss word? Wait, the definitions are from WordNet? Yes, typical WordNet senses. Sense 10: "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature". Example: "We cannot continue several servants any longer" (sense: keep servants?). "keep someone in office" might be "allow to remain in a position". But sense 1 is "keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., keep clean". "keep them in office" – office is a position. Sense 1 example: "keep clean" is an adjective. But "in office" is a prepositional phrase describing position. In WordNet, "keep" sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., keep clean". Actually, WordNet has for sense 1: "keep, maintain, hold" — "keep in a certain state, position, or activity". That seems perfect: "keep them in office" means maintain them in the position of office.

Let's double-check. WordNet entries for "keep" (verb):

1. keep, maintain, hold -- (keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., "keep clean")
2. continue, go on, proceed, go along, keep -- (continue a certain state, condition, or activity; e.g., "Keep on working!")
3. keep, hold on -- (retain possession of; e.g., "Can I keep my old stuffed animals?")
4. prevent, keep -- (stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state; e.g., "We must prevent the cancer from spreading")
5. observe, keep -- (conform one's action or practice to; e.g., "keep appointments")
6. observe, keep, maintain -- (stick to correctly or closely; e.g., "The pianist kept time with the metronome")
7. keep -- (look after; be the keeper of; have charge of; e.g., "He keeps the shop when I am gone")
8. keep, maintain -- (maintain by writing regular records; e.g., "keep a diary")
9. keep -- (supply with room and board; e.g., "He is keeping three women in the guest cottage")
10. retain, continue, keep, keep on -- (allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature; e.g., "We cannot continue several servants any longer")
11. sustain, keep, maintain -- (supply with necessities and support; e.g., "She alone sustained her family")
12. keep, stay fresh -- (fail to spoil or rot; e.g., "These potatoes keep for a long time")
13. observe, celebrate, keep -- (behave as expected during holidays or rites; e.g., "Keep the commandments")
14. restrain, keep, keep back, hold back -- (keep under control; keep in check; e.g., "suppress a smile")
15. keep, preserve -- (maintain in safety from injury, harm, or danger; e.g., "May God keep you")
16. keep -- (raise; e.g., "She keeps a few chickens in the yard")
17. keep, hold open, keep open, save -- (retain rights to; e.g., "keep my job for me while I give birth")
18. keep -- (store or keep customarily; e.g., "Where do you keep your gardening tools?")
19. keep -- (have as a supply; e.g., "I always keep batteries in the freezer")
20. keep, maintain -- (maintain for use and service; e.g., "I keep a car in the countryside")
21. keep -- (hold and prevent from leaving; e.g., "The student was kept after school")
22. preserve, keep -- (prevent (food) from rotting; e.g., "preserved meats")

Now, the sentence: "keep such Democrats in office". Here, "in office" is a prepositional phrase indicating position/state. This is exactly "keep in a certain state, position, or activity". The verb "keep" takes a direct object and a complement: "keep them in office". Sense 1 is the most direct match. Some might argue sense 10: "allow to remain in a place or position". But sense 10 usually implies something like "retain services of" (continue servants) or "keep on" (keep on doing). The example "We cannot continue several servants any longer" is synonymous with "keep servants". "Keep in office" is more about maintaining a state/position. However, WordNet sense 1 is "keep in a certain state, position, or activity". "In office" is a position/state. So 1 is correct.

Let's verify. In many linguistic resources, phrases like "keep someone in office" exemplify the sense of "cause to remain in a specified state or position". That corresponds to 1.

Thus, the correct answer is 1.

In the context, "Democratic legislators from the South" clearly refers to members of the Democratic Party. The phrase "such Democrats" refers back to these legislators. There is no mention of "democratic principles" as an ideology separate from the party; it's about political party affiliation. So sense 1 is correct.

We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "office" is used in the given sentence. The senses are provided with numbers and definitions. The sentence: "To the extent that Democratic legislators from the South have held a disproportionate share of power in Congress since 1932 and have been able to translate such clout into relatively more local benefits for their respective constituencies, voters in the South have had an especially strong incentive to keep such Democrats in <t>office</t>."

We need to match the usage of "office" in the sentence to one of the numbered senses. The phrase is "keep such Democrats in office". Here, "office" refers to a position of authority or an elected position. Looking at the definitions:

1. place of business where professional or clerical duties are performed – not this; it's about holding a political position.
2. an administrative unit of government – e.g., Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA is an agency, but "keep Democrats in office" does not mean keep them in an agency; it means keep them in their elected positions.
3. the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group – "function of a teacher". This is about duties, not holding a position.
4. (of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power – "being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage". This exactly matches: "keep such Democrats in office" means keeping them in power/in their governmental positions.
5. professional or clerical workers in an office – not this.
6. religious rite – no.
7. a job in an organization – "he occupied a post in the treasury". This could also fit, as "office" can mean a job. However, sense 4 is specifically about government officials being in power, and the sentence is about Democrats in Congress, which is a governmental position. "Keep Democrats in office" is a political phrase. Sense 4 directly addresses "holding an office means being in power" and gives the example "being in office". Sense 7 says "a job in an organization", which is more general and could apply, but the context is clearly political/governmental. The phrase "in office" is a set phrase for holding a political position, matching sense 4.

Therefore, sense 4 is the correct one.
