Sentence: "Professor Donohue said some appeals <t>judges</t> might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."

Senses:
1. definition=a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice
2. definition=an authority who is able to estimate worth or quality

We need to identify the sense of "judges" as used in the sentence. The word is "appeals judges". Appeals judges are judges who serve on an appeals court. They are public officials authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice. So sense 1 fits perfectly. Sense 2 is about someone who estimates worth or quality, like an art judge or a competition judge. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the <t>idea</t> that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer.

Senses:
1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which sense of "idea" is used in the given sentence. We must return only the number. Let's examine the sentence:

"Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make trials fairer."

The word "idea" here refers to a thought, concept, or notion ("the idea that..."). It is a content of cognition, a thought. Let's check the senses:

1. definition=the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about | examples=it was not a good idea
2. definition=your intention; what you intend to do | examples=he had in mind to see his old teacher
3. definition=a personal view | examples=he has an idea that we don't like him
4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

Sense 1 fits best: "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about." The sentence uses "the idea that...", introducing a thought or concept. Sense 3 is "a personal view", but here it's presented as a notion that might intrigue judges, not necessarily a personal view. Sense 1 is the most general and appropriate. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant <t>communication</t> from courtrooms might make trials fairer.

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information | examples=they could not act without official communication from Moscow
2. definition=something that is communicated by or to or between people or groups
3. definition=a connection allowing access between persons or places | examples=how many lines of communication can there be among four people?

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of the word "communication" is used in the given sentence. Let's analyze the sentence:

"Sentence: Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant <t>communication</t> from courtrooms might make trials fairer."

Here, "communication" refers to the act of conveying information instantly from courtrooms (like tweeting, texting, live broadcasting, etc.). It is the activity of communicating. The word "instant" modifies it, describing the speed of the communication activity.

Let's check the provided senses:
1. the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information | examples=they could not act without official communication from Moscow
2. something that is communicated by or to or between people or groups
3. a connection allowing access between persons or places | examples=how many lines of communication can there be among four people?

In the sentence, "limiting instant communication from courtrooms" refers to limiting the *activity* of communicating instantly from courtrooms. It is not referring to a specific message (something that is communicated), nor is it referring to a connection or channel (lines of communication). The example for sense 1 ("official communication from Moscow") uses a similar structure: "communication from [place]" meaning the activity of sending messages from that place. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.

I will return the number 1.

Sentence: "Professor Donohue said some appeals judges might be intrigued by the idea that limiting instant communication from courtrooms might make <t>trials</t> fairer."

Senses:
1. the act of testing something
2. trying something to find out about it
3. the act of undergoing testing
4. (law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law
5. (sports) a preliminary competition to determine qualifications
6. an annoying or frustrating or catastrophic event

The context is about appeals judges, limiting communication from courtrooms, making trials fairer. Clearly it's about legal trials. So sense 4: (law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law.

The answer is 4.

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

Sentence: The Twitter <t>issue</t> is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution.

9. definition=the becoming visible | examples=not a day's difference between the emergence of the andrenas and the opening of the willow catkins

Sentence: "The Twitter <t>issue</t> is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution."

Senses provided:
1. an important question that is in dispute and must be settled

4. the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity)

7. a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon
8. the immediate descendants of a person
9. the becoming visible
10. an opening that permits escape or release
11. the act of issuing printed materials

Check: "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution." So it's a matter of dispute. No other sense fits. It's not a magazine (2), not just a thought (3), not a distribution (4), etc. So answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for <t>years</t>, delaying an execution.

Senses:
1. definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | examples=she is 4 years old
2. definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
3. definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
4. definition=a body of students who graduate together | examples=the class of '97

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for <t>years</t>, delaying an execution."

We need to select which sense of "year" is used here, from the provided options. The word is marked with <t> and </t> tags. The sentence uses the plural "years", indicating a duration of time. The phrase "argued for years" means argued over a long period of time, likely multiple years. This refers to a general period of time measured in years (365/366 days). The sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days", with example "she is 4 years old". That's the basic unit of time. Sense 2 is a specific part of a calendar year for an activity (like school year). Sense 3 is planetary revolution. Sense 4 is a graduating class. Clearly, "years" here means a long duration, so sense 1.

Sentence: The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an <t>execution</t>.

We need to pick the number of the sense that fits the sentence. The context: "The Twitter issue is just one of many outlined by Mr. Hayes's lawyers that are likely to be argued for years, delaying an execution." This likely refers to a legal case. Mr. Hayes is probably a death row inmate? The name Hayes might refer to a convicted murderer. But let's think: "The Twitter issue" suggests something about social media. Perhaps the case involves a delay in execution of a death sentence. Given the legal context, execution often means carrying out a death penalty. The other legal senses (4,5) are about signing documents or enforcing judgments, but "delaying an execution" most commonly refers to a death sentence. Sense 1: putting a condemned person to death. That fits the phrase "delaying an execution" in a legal battle context. Sense 7 is unlawful killing, not likely. So the answer is 1.

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

"Judge Blue" is a person presiding in a court. Therefore, sense 1 matches. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "The defense lawyers also claim, for example, that Mr. Hayes may have been prejudiced when Judge Blue declined to allow them to test potential jurors' <t>reactions</t> by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs during jury selection."

We need to pick from the senses 1-7.

Let's examine the context: "test potential jurors' reactions" by showing them grisly crime-scene photographs. They want to see how the potential jurors respond, what feelings or attitudes they display when they see the photos. This is to gauge their suitability. It's about a response revealing feelings or attitude.

Check the senses:
1. chemistry process -> no.
2. an idea evoked by some experience -> "reaction" could be an idea, but here it's more about emotional response.
3. a bodily process -> not really, though might involve bodily reaction, but primarily it's about their attitude/feelings.
4. mechanics -> no.
5. a response that reveals a person's feelings or attitude -> This fits perfectly: they want to see the jurors' reactions to the photographs to infer their feelings or attitudes.
6. extreme conservatism -> no.
7. doing something in opposition -> no.

Sense 5 is the best match.

Sentence: "Some of the jurors have said they were horrified by the photographs of the <t>victims</t>, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11."

Senses provided:
1. definition=an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance
2. definition=a person who is tricked or swindled

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage in the sentence. The sentence talks about photographs of the victims, referring to murder victims (Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters). They were killed in a home invasion, a triple homicide. So they are victims of a crime, not tricked or swindled. The closest sense is 1: "an unfortunate person who suffers from some adverse circumstance." Sense 2 is about being tricked or swindled, which is not the case. So answer is 1.

Senses:
1. a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice
2. an authority who is able to estimate worth or quality

From the context, the judge is removing a juror and directing the jury. This clearly refers to a judge in a court of law, a public official. So sense 1 is correct. The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added <t>pressure</t> for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend.

Senses:
1. definition=the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit) | examples=the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure
2. definition=a force that compels | examples=the public brought pressure to bear on the government
3. definition=the act of pressing; the exertion of pressure | examples=he gave the button a press
4. definition=the state of demanding notice or attention | examples=the insistence of their hunger
5. definition=the somatic sensation that results from applying force to an area of skin | examples=the sensitivity of his skin to pressure and temperature was normal
6. definition=an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress
7. definition=the pressure exerted by the atmosphere

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a list of senses for the word "pressure". We need to identify which numbered sense matches the usage in the sentence.

The sentence: "The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."

The word "pressure" appears in the phrase: "added pressure for a verdict". This means the judge increased the force or compulsion on the jury to reach a verdict.

Now, let's examine the senses:

1. Physical pressure (force per unit area) - not applicable.
2. a force that compels - "the public brought pressure to bear on the government" - this is a metaphorical force that compels someone to act. Adding pressure for a verdict fits this: compelling the jury to decide.
3. the act of pressing - not applicable.
4. the state of demanding notice or attention (insistence) - might be close, but "pressure" here is more about compulsion.
5. somatic sensation - not applicable.
6. an oppressive condition of distress - could be related, but the phrase "added pressure" is actively applying a compelling force, not necessarily a state of distress.
7. atmospheric pressure? No, "the pressure exerted by the atmosphere" is the full definition for #7 (which is cut off in the prompt: "the pressure exerted by the atmosphere" standard? But it's not listed, I see only 7 definitions, they are:
1. definition=the force applied to a unit area of surface...
2. definition=a force that compels...
3. definition=the act of pressing...
4. definition=the state of demanding notice or attention...
5. definition=the somatic sensation...
6. definition=an oppressive condition of physical or mental or social or economic distress
7. definition=the pressure exerted by the atmosphere

Wait, the prompt cut off at "the pressure exerted by the atmosphere" for sense 7, but it's clearly atmospheric pressure. Not applicable.

Sense 2: "a force that compels" with example "the public brought pressure to bear on the government". This exactly matches "added pressure for a verdict" – the judge added a compelling force to get a verdict.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

Sentence: The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual <t>decision</t> to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of making up your mind about something | examples=the burden of decision was his
2. definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition
3. definition=(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred | examples=had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent

5. definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness

We are given a sentence: "The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual <t>decision</t> to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "decision" is used here, focusing on the word inside the <t> tags.

The senses:
1. the act of making up your mind about something
2. a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration
3. (boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred
4. the outcome of a game or contest
5. the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose

In the sentence, "his unusual decision to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend" – here "decision" refers to the specific choice or judgment the judge made: an act of deciding to do something. It's the act of making up his mind to direct the jury. The phrase "his unusual decision to direct..." indicates the act of deciding. The object of decision is an action: "to direct the jury to deliberate over a weekend." That fits sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something. Sense 2 is about the conclusion reached (a position or opinion). While "decision" can sometimes be used interchangeably, the context "decision to direct..." emphasizes the act of deciding, which aligns with sense 1. Moreover, the phrase "added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision" might be focusing on the act itself. Let's check examples: sense 1 example is "the burden of decision was his" – that is about the act of making a decision. Sense 2 example: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" – that's a judgment or ruling. Here, "decision to direct the jury..." is more like the act of deciding to do that. I'll go with sense 1.

We are given a sentence with a tagged word "jury". We need to determine which of the provided senses is used. The senses are:
1. a body of citizens sworn to give a true verdict according to the evidence presented in a court of law
2. a committee appointed to judge a competition

The sentence: "The defense lawyers say they will also challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty and argue that the judge wrongly removed a juror who had been critical of prosecutors and that he improperly added pressure for a verdict by his unusual decision to direct the <t>jury</t> to deliberate over a weekend."

Context: "juror", "verdict", "judge", "court" (implied), "death penalty", "prosecutors". This is clearly a legal context, a trial jury. So sense 1.

We need to determine which sense of "argument" is used in the sentence: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest."

Let's analyze the sentence. "Arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial" suggests people are discussing or debating the effect. They are putting forward reasons for or against certain views. This is not necessarily a factual assertion as evidence (sense 1), nor a heated dispute (sense 2), but could be a discussion where reasons are advanced (sense 3). It could also be a course of reasoning (sense 7). Let's check the definitions:

1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence. Example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true". This is more about a single claim as evidence. "Arguments" plural here suggests a back-and-forth discussion.

2. a contentious speech act; a dispute with strong disagreement. "Violent argument" is the example. The sentence doesn't specify strong disagreement, but "arguments about the effect" could be debates. However, the word "arguments" in plural often means disagreements, but it can also mean the points made in a discussion.

3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal. "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on". This fits "arguments about the effect" - they are discussing pros and cons.

4. summary of a plot - not relevant.

5. computer science - not relevant.

6. mathematical variable - not relevant.

7. a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning. "I can't follow your line of reasoning." This is more about a single chain of logic, not plural "arguments" as debates.

The sentence says "their arguments... may draw the most interest." This sounds like the different points of view or debates they are having. Sense 3 is "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition". Sense 2 is "a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement". The phrase "arguments about" often implies sense 2 or 3. But "draw the most interest" suggests the content of the discussion/debate is interesting. It might be sense 3 because it's about exchanging reasons. However, in common usage, "arguments" plural often means disagreements (sense 2). Let's see the nuances: "they were involved in a violent argument" is sense 2. "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on" is sense 3. The sentence doesn't mention violence or strong emotion, just "arguments about the effect". I'd lean towards sense 3 because it focuses on the discussion aspect. But it could also be sense 2 if it means disputes. Typically, "arguments" in the context of a trial and media coverage often refers to debates or disagreements among people (like pundits). I'll check the sentence again: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." It seems like they are having debates/discussions. Sense 3 is the best fit because it's a discussion where reasons are advanced. Sense 2 emphasizes strong disagreement and contentiousness. Without context indicating a "violent" or "strong" disagreement, it's more likely the broader sense of discussion. Also, "arguments" can be the points themselves (sense 1) but "arguments about" suggests a discussion. Sense 3 says "a discussion..." which matches "arguments about...". So I'll go with 3.

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

Sentence: But their arguments about the <t>effect</t> of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest.

Senses:
1. definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon | examples=the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise
2. definition=an outward appearance | examples=he made a good impression
3. definition=an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived) | examples=he just did it for effect
4. definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work
5. definition=(of a law) having legal validity | examples=the law is still in effect
6. definition=a symptom caused by an illness or a drug | examples=the effects of sleep loss

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "effect" is used in the sentence: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." The word "effect" is tagged with <t> and </t>. The senses are numbered 1 through 6. We need to return only the number.

Let's analyze the sentence: The phrase is "the effect of the intense coverage of the trial". Here, "effect" means a result or consequence of the coverage. So it's "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon". That matches sense 1: "definition=a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon". Examples: "the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise". So sense 1.

Double-check other senses:
2. an outward appearance (like "made a good impression") – not applicable.
3. an impression (especially one that is artificial or contrived) – "he just did it for effect" – that's an artificial impression, not a consequence.
4. the central meaning or theme – not applicable.
5. (of a law) having legal validity – "the law is still in effect" – not applicable.
6. a symptom caused by an illness or a drug – "the effects of sleep loss" – this is also a consequence, but more specific to symptoms. The sentence is about the effect of coverage, not a symptom. The general sense 1 is the broad one, and sense 6 is a subtype. The sentence is not about a medical symptom; it's about arguments about the effect (result) of coverage. So it's the general cause-effect. Thus sense 1.

Thus, answer: 1

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "trial" is used in the sentence: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest." The word is in <t> tags. The senses provided:

1. the act of testing something
2. trying something to find out about it
3. the act of undergoing testing
4. (law) the determination of a person's innocence or guilt by due process of law

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

Senses:
1. definition=a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something | examples=an interest in music
2. definition=a reason for wanting something done | examples=for your sake
3. definition=the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.) | examples=they said nothing of great interest

7. definition=a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts (usually pleasantly) | examples=sailing is her favorite pastime

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most <t>interest</t>." We need to choose which numbered sense of "interest" is used. The senses are:

1. a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something (e.g., an interest in music)
2. a reason for wanting something done (e.g., for your sake)
3. the power of attracting or holding one's attention (e.g., they said nothing of great interest)
4. a fixed charge for borrowing money; usually a percentage of the amount borrowed
5. (law) a right or legal share of something; a financial involvement with something
6. (usually plural) a social group whose members control some field of activity and who have common aims
7. a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts (usually pleasantly)

In the sentence, "draw the most interest" means to attract attention or curiosity. So "interest" here is about the power of attracting attention or the state of being of interest. That matches sense 3: "the power of attracting or holding one's attention (because it is unusual or exciting etc.)". Sense 1 is about a person's curiosity, sense 3 is about the thing that arouses curiosity. The phrase "draw the most interest" means it is the thing that gets the most attention. So sense 3 is correct.

The instruction says: "Return only the number of the correct sense." So the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

2. definition=a call to engage in a contest or fight
3. definition=questioning a statement and demanding an explanation | examples=his challenge of the assumption that Japan is still our enemy

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

Sentence: "They noted in a <t>challenge</t> to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate."

Senses:
1. definition=a demanding or stimulating situation | examples=they reacted irrationally to the challenge of Russian power
2. definition=a call to engage in a contest or fight
3. definition=questioning a statement and demanding an explanation | examples=his challenge of the assumption that Japan is still our enemy
4. definition=a formal objection to the selection of a particular person as a juror
5. definition=a demand by a sentry for a password

We need to pick the sense that matches "challenge" in the context "in a challenge to the verdict filed last month". A challenge to a verdict is a legal term meaning an objection or appeal against the verdict. It fits with sense 3: "questioning a statement and demanding an explanation". Sense 3's example: "his challenge of the assumption..." matches the pattern of challenging a decision or statement. Sense 4 is specifically about objecting to a juror, which is not the case here; the challenge is to the verdict, not a juror. So sense 3 is correct.

Thus the number is 3.

Sentence: They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last <t>month</t> that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

Senses:
1. definition=one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year | examples=he paid the bill last month
2. definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

We need to choose sense 1 or 2. The word "month" appears in the phrase "last month". This refers to a specific calendar month (the one before the current month). Sense 1: "one of the twelve divisions of the calendar year" with example "he paid the bill last month". That matches perfectly. Sense 2 is a time unit of approximately 30 days, not tied to the calendar. So the answer is 1.

10. definition=the quantity contained in a case

12. definition=a specific state of mind that is temporary | examples=a case of the jitters
13. definition=a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities) | examples=a real character
14. definition=a specific size and style of type within a type family
15. definition=an enveloping structure or covering enclosing an animal or plant organ or part
16. definition=the housing or outer covering of something | examples=the clock has a walnut case
17. definition=the enclosing frame around a door or window opening | examples=the casings had rotted away and had to be replaced
18. definition=(printing) the receptacle in which a compositor has his type, which is divided into compartments for the different letters, spaces, or numbers | examples=for English, a compositor will ordinarily have two such cases, the upper case containing the capitals and the lower case containing the small letters
19. definition=bed linen consisting of a cover for a pillow | examples=the burglar carried his loot in a pillowcase
20. definition=a glass container used to store and display items in a shop or museum or home

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

Sentence: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the <t>case</t> dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate."

The word "case" appears within <t> tags. The sense options are numbered 1 through 20.

We need to interpret the meaning of "case" in this sentence. The sentence is about a legal context: "a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news..." Here, "case" refers to a legal case, a court proceeding. So sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" fits perfectly. The example given: "the family brought suit against the landlord" aligns with legal proceedings.

Let's verify: "that the case dominated the news in Connecticut..." A trial or lawsuit dominating the news makes sense.

Therefore, the correct sense number is 3.

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

Sentence: They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the <t>news</t> in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate.

Senses:
1. information about recent and important events (they awaited news of the outcome)
2. information reported in a newspaper or news magazine (the news of my death was greatly exaggerated)
3. a program devoted to current events, often using interviews and commentary (we watch the 7 o'clock news every night)
4. informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone (it was news to me)
5. the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins (the judge conceded the newsworthiness of the story)

We need to choose the sense that fits "dominated the news in Connecticut". The phrase "dominated the news" usually refers to being the main topic of news coverage in media outlets (newspapers, TV, radio, online news). Here, "the news" means the media's reporting of current events, i.e., the news as a collective body of information reported. It doesn't refer to a specific program (sense 3), nor a piece of information (sense 1, 2). Sense 2 says "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine", which is close, but "dominated the news" is a broader idiom meaning the overall news coverage, encompassing all media, not just newspapers/magazines. Sense 1 is "information about recent and important events" which is also close. However, "the news" as a mass noun in "dominated the news" typically means the media's presentation of news. In many dictionaries, "the news" meaning media coverage is a sense. Let's see: sense 1 is "information about recent and important events", sense 2 is "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine". The phrase "dominated the news" often maps to the news media, the news reports collectively. Actually, "dominated the news" means it was the most prominent story in news reports. That aligns with sense 1: information about recent and important events? "They awaited news of the outcome" uses "news" as a specific piece of information. "Dominated the news" means it dominated the reporting of information about recent events, which is sense 1? Or sense 2: information reported. But sense 2 limits to newspaper or news magazine, whereas modern news includes TV, online, etc. Sense 1 is more general. However, many dictionaries separate the "information" sense from the "media presentation" sense. For example, Merriam-Webster: 1: a report of recent events 2: previously unknown information 3: something having a specified influence or effect 4: material reported in a newspaper or news periodical or on a newscast 5: newscast. Here, sense 1: information about recent and important events; sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine. "Dominated the news" refers to the coverage, the news reports. I'd lean towards sense 1 because "the news" as in "the news today is full of..." means the general information about recent events that is being reported. Sense 2 sounds like a specific piece of information in a newspaper. The example "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated" is a specific piece of news. "Dominated the news" means the whole body of news reporting. Usually, dictionaries have a sense like "the news" meaning "the presentation of reports on current events in media". That might be closest to sense 1? However, sense 1's example is "they awaited news of the outcome", which is uncountable and refers to information. "Dominated the news" is similar to "the news was full of...". I'll go with sense 1.

Let's double-check: If "news" means "information about recent events", then "the case dominated the news" means the case dominated the information about recent events. That makes sense. Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" is also plausible but restricts to print. In modern context, it dominates all news media. I think 1 is the most general and fits.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

The sentence mentions "the news in Connecticut" and "candidates for governor and the United States Senate." This clearly refers to the state of Connecticut, where there are elections for governor and US Senate. So sense 1 is the correct one. Sense 2 is a river. Sense 3 is a historical colony, but the context is modern news and elections. So answer: 1.

2. the act of selecting someone or something; the exercise of deliberate choice
3. the status or fact of being elected

The phrase is "election campaign". Here "election" refers to the political process where people vote for candidates. "Election campaign" is a campaign for a political election. That aligns with sense 1: "a vote to select the winner of a position or political office". The other senses don't fit. So the answer is 1.

4. definition=an overland journey by hunters (especially in Africa)

We need to choose the sense that matches "election campaign". The phrase "election campaign" refers to the organized effort to win an election, which is exactly sense 1: "a race between candidates for elective office", with example "I managed his campaign for governor". The candidates discussed the case during their election campaign. So sense 1 is the correct one.

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

Sentence: "They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by <t>candidates</t> for governor and the United States Senate."

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.)

We need to choose between sense 1 and sense 2. In the context, "candidates for governor and the United States Senate" clearly refers to politicians running for public office. Sense 1 is more specific: "a politician who is running for public office". Sense 2 is broader: "someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)". Since the sentence specifically mentions an election campaign and running for governor and Senate, sense 1 is the most accurate. However, sometimes these tasks might want the number that best matches. Both involve running for office, but sense 1 precisely matches "politician... running for public office". Sense 2 is more general (considered for an office). But note: "candidates for governor and the United States Senate" are indeed politicians running for public office. So sense 1 is the direct match.

Thus, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the <t>case</t>."

Senses provided: 1 through 20.

Let's analyze the sentence: "fanned the flames of emotion about the case." The word "case" here refers to some event or situation that the news media is reporting on, likely a legal case or an incident that is being investigated or discussed. In context, "case" often refers to a criminal investigation, a legal matter, or a story that the media covers. The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion" suggests the media is sensationalizing a particular case (e.g., a court case or a controversial incident).

Let's check the definitions. Which one fits a "case" as something the news media covers and stirs emotion about?
Definition 1: an occurrence of something (example: it was a case of bad judgment). Could be.
Definition 2: a special set of circumstances.
Definition 3: a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law... The example: "the family brought suit against the landlord." This is a legal case. News media often cover legal cases.
Definition 8: a problem requiring investigation... "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir." This fits a detective/crime case that media might cover.
But "case" in "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" is likely a legal case or an incident under investigation. The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion" is often used regarding media coverage of trials or controversial legal matters. I need to see which sense is the most precise.

Let's review all definitions:
1. an occurrence of something (too general, but possible)
2. a special set of circumstances
3. a proceeding in a court of law (legal case) - the example: "the family brought suit..."
4. the actual state of things
5. a portable container
6. a person requiring professional services
7. a person subjected to experimental procedures
8. a problem requiring investigation (detective case)
9. a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument
10. quantity contained in a case
11. grammatical case
12. a specific state of mind
13. a person of a specified kind
14. type size and style
15. enveloping structure
16. housing or outer covering
17. enclosing frame
18. printing receptacle
19. pillowcase
20. glass container

The sentence mentions "news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." This commonly refers to a legal case, like a court trial, or a criminal investigation. Many dictionary definitions distinguish between a legal case (sense 3) and an investigation (sense 8). Which one fits better? Media fanning flames of emotion typically refers to a legal proceeding (e.g., O.J. Simpson case, Casey Anthony case) or a crime story. The word "case" in sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" – the example is "the family brought suit against the landlord." That is a civil case. Media could also cover criminal cases. However, sometimes "case" just means a matter under investigation. But "fanned the flames of emotion" often appears in contexts of trials (court case). Let's think: what is the typical dictionary sense? Often, "case" meaning a legal action is a distinct sense. Alternatively, sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation" – "Perry Mason solved the case..." That's a detective's case. The media can fan flames about a missing person case, a murder case, etc. Which sense is more appropriate? The phrase "the news media ... fanned the flames of emotion about the case" doesn't explicitly mention a court of law. It could be any case that is in the public eye, often a criminal investigation or a scandal.

I need to pick the one best definition. Let's read carefully: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." In isolation, "case" means a particular instance or matter that is being discussed. But among the given senses, 3 (court proceeding) and 8 (problem requiring investigation) are specific. Could it be sense 1? "An occurrence of something" – example: "it was a case of bad judgment". That's more like "instance". But "the case" with "fanned the flames" suggests a specific event like a court case or crime case.

Often, dictionaries have: "a case" (sense 8) as an incident under investigation, especially by police. Sense 3 is specifically a court proceeding. In many contexts, "the case" referring to a media frenzy is a legal case. For example, "the O.J. Simpson case" was a court case. "The Lindbergh kidnapping case" was both an investigation and a court case. I suspect sense 3 is "a proceeding in a court of law". But does "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" necessarily mean it's in court? It could be an investigation. Let's check definitions again:
3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy | examples=the family brought suit against the landlord
8. definition=a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir

Often, in language, when media "fans the flames" about a "case", it's a legal case (sense 3), but sometimes it's just a criminal investigation (sense 8). However, sense 8 says "a problem requiring investigation", which can be a detective case. I lean towards sense 3 because "case" in news media is typically a court case. But wait, sense 3 specifies "whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy" – that sounds like civil law. Criminal cases are also proceedings in a court of law, though typically the state seeks a remedy. "Any proceeding in a court of law" covers criminal too. The example is civil, but the definition is broad: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law". That fits "trial by media" scenarios. Sense 8 is more about solving a mystery. The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" sounds more like a legal case that stirs public emotion, like a sensational trial. However, it's ambiguous. Is there any other clue? The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion" might be a collocation. If I search my memory, "fan the flames of emotion" is used in contexts like "the media fanned the flames of emotion over the case" – it's often a court case. But perhaps it's just an "occurrence" (sense 1). Sense 1 is "an occurrence of something". But "the case" as a specific event is better defined by 3 or 8. "Case" as an instance (sense 1) is more like "a case of mistaken identity". Here "about the case" refers to a specific thing that is being discussed, likely a legal case.

I'll go with 3. But let's double-check sense 9: "a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument" – "he stated his case clearly". Could it be "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" meaning the argument? Probably not, because it's "about the case", not "stated his case".

Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation". The example is "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir." Media can fan flames about a missing heir case. That is also plausible.

But many dictionaries have "case" as a legal action as a primary sense. Given the options, which one is most standard for a news story? Let me think of typical dictionary entries from WordNet or similar, because these definitions look like WordNet senses. Let's map them:

WordNet senses for "case":
1. an occurrence of something (case of bad judgment)
2. a special set of circumstances (in that case)
3. a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law... (the family brought suit)
4. the actual state of things (that was not the case)
5. a portable container...
6. a person requiring professional services...
7. a person subjected to experimental...
8. a problem requiring investigation (Perry Mason solved the case...)
9. a statement of facts... (he stated his case)
10. the quantity contained in a case
11. grammatical case
12. a specific state of mind (case of the jitters)
13. a person of a specified kind (a real character)
14. type size/style
15. enveloping structure (biology)
16. housing or outer covering
17. enclosing frame
18. printing receptacle
19. pillowcase
20. glass container for display

This is exactly WordNet 3.0 or similar. In WordNet, the sense for a court proceeding is sense 3. The sense for a detective case is sense 8. Which one does the sentence "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case" correspond to?

I can search my memory for example sentences. "Media fanned the flames of emotion about the case" – this sounds like a typical sentence about a sensational trial. For example, "The media fanned the flames of emotion about the O.J. Simpson case." The O.J. Simpson case was a court case, but it was also a criminal investigation. However, "case" in "the O.J. Simpson case" generally refers to the whole event, which includes both investigation and trial. WordNet separates them: sense 3 is specifically a court proceeding; sense 8 is a problem requiring investigation. In O.J. Simpson, the trial was the main media spectacle. But the media also fanned flames during the investigation. Usually, "the case" in such contexts might be the legal case. Let's check typical collocations: "fan the flames of emotion about the case" – a quick mental search: I recall sentences like "The media fanned the flames of emotion over the case" where "case" refers to a criminal investigation or trial.

I can also consider that the definition of sense 3 says "any proceeding in a court of law", which might be too restrictive if the case hasn't reached court yet. But often "case" in news means the whole matter including legal proceedings.

Alternatively, maybe sense 1 is intended? "It was a case of bad judgment" – that's different. "About the case" implies a specific known case.

Is there any chance it's sense 8? "Perry Mason solved the case" – Perry Mason is a lawyer/detective, so it involves court too, but primarily investigation. WordNet's sense 8 is explicitly "a problem requiring investigation" with example about a missing heir. A missing heir case might not involve court initially. But "fanned the flames of emotion" could apply to a missing person case.

Given the ambiguity, I should look for clues in the phrasing. "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." This implies the case is something that can be emotionally charged, often a trial. I lean towards 3, but I'm not 100% sure.

Let's see if there's any other sense that could fit. Sense 9: "a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument" – "he stated his case". "Fanned the flames of emotion about the case" could be about someone's argument? Possibly, but "about the case" usually refers to an event or legal matter, not an argument. If someone "stated their case" and the media fanned flames about it, it would be "about his case". But the sentence uses "the case", not "his case". So less likely.

What about sense 6: "a person requiring professional services" – "a typical case was the suburban housewife..." That is a social worker/psychologist's client. Media doesn't fan flames about a "case" in that sense usually.

Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" – "it was a case of bad judgment". If the media fanned flames about the case, meaning the occurrence? Possible but vague. Usually, when a specific "the case" is used, it's a known legal/investigative matter.

In many reading comprehension tests, "case" in news context refers to a legal case. I'll go with 3.

But wait: Could it be sense 8? The media might be fanning flames about a case that police are investigating. If no court proceeding has started, it's not sense 3. The word "case" in news often refers to a police case. The definitions are close. I need to see which one is a better fit for the sentence without additional context.

The phrase "fanned the flames of emotion about the case" appears in some books. Let me try to recall if I've seen a similar sentence in a dictionary as an example for a specific sense. I can't access the internet, but I can think about typical lexicography. For example, Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary might have an example like "The media fanned the flames of emotion about the case" for a legal case or a criminal case. Often, "case" as a criminal investigation or trial is one sense in some dictionaries, while WordNet splits them.

Given WordNet's definitions:
Sense 3: a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy | examples=the family brought suit against the landlord
Sense 8: a problem requiring investigation | examples=Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir

The sentence "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case" is likely from a specific corpus. I remember a sentence from the dictionary: "The news media fanned the flames of emotion about the case." I think it's used as an example for "case" meaning a legal case, or perhaps a matter under investigation. I'll try to search my memory for the exact sentence. It sounds like an example sentence from a dictionary or WordNet itself. In WordNet, example sentences are often from the Brown Corpus or similar. I recall "The news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case" might be a sentence from a linguistic dataset. Let's see: "fanned the flames of emotion" is a collocation. If I google mentally, I might find it. I think it's an example sentence for "case" in the sense of a legal proceeding.

Alternatively, could it be sense 1? "an occurrence of something" – "it was a case of bad judgment". But "about the case" suggests a specific known event, which is often a legal case.

I'll go with sense 3.

But let's not rule out sense 8. I'll try to find the original WordNet example sentences for each sense.
WordNet 3.0 example sentences:
Sense 3: "the family brought suit against the landlord"
Sense 8: "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir"
The sentence given is not one of these two, so it's an external sentence. It might be a test question from a vocabulary context. In such tests, "case" in "the media fanned the flames of emotion about the case" is typically defined as a court case. I'll stick with 3.

Actually, I'll analyze the phrasing "about the case". If it's a legal case, the media often fans flames. If it's a detective investigation, they also do. "Continually fanned the flames" implies a prolonged event, like a trial. Investigations can be prolonged too. But "case" in the context of news media is very often a court case.

Another thought: the word "case" in legal contexts is sense 3. In journalistic contexts, "case" often means a legal case. I'm fairly confident it's 3.

Let's consider if the sentence is: "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." If I had to choose one number, I'd pick 3.

But wait, could it be sense 8? In WordNet, sense 8 is specifically "a problem requiring investigation". Media can fan flames about a problem requiring investigation (like a missing person case before any arrest/trial). The example given for sense 8 is "Perry Mason solved the case of the missing heir" – Perry Mason is a lawyer, but the "case" there is the mystery. In many people's minds, a detective's "case" and a lawyer's "case" are somewhat overlapping. However, the definitions are distinct.

I need to pick the correct sense according to the given definitions. The given definitions are exactly WordNet's. The sentence "They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case." might be from the Brown Corpus or a similar source, and it's tagged with a specific WordNet sense. I can try to infer the sense by looking at how "case" is used with "news media". Usually, news media cover "cases" that are court cases (sense 3) or police cases (sense 8). But "fanned the flames of emotion" is a phrase often associated with trials (e.g., "media circus around the trial").

Let's search memory: There is a known example sentence for WordNet sense 3 or 8? I recall a sentence like "The press fanned the flames of emotion about the case." I think it's an example for "case" as a legal proceeding. I'm leaning heavily toward 3.

I'll answer 3.

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

Sentence: "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the <t>courthouse</t>," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide."

Senses:
1. definition=a government building that houses the offices of a county government
2. definition=a building that houses judicial courts

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the <t>courthouse</t>," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide."

We need to choose which numbered sense of "courthouse" is used. The senses are:
1. a government building that houses the offices of a county government
2. a building that houses judicial courts

The context: "outside the courthouse" with media, cameras, reporters. This is typically associated with a courthouse where judicial proceedings (trials, hearings) happen. No mention of county government offices. The phrase "here in New Haven and maybe statewide" suggests a building where a notable trial or legal event took place, likely a judicial court. So sense 2 is the appropriate one.

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

Sentence: Their <t>focus</t> on the Twitter coverage is controversial.

Senses:
1. definition=the concentration of attention or energy on something | examples=the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology
2. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system | examples=in focus
3. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea | examples=the controversy brought clearly into focus an important difference of opinion
4. definition=a central point or locus of an infection in an organism | examples=the focus of infection
5. definition=special emphasis attached to something | examples=the stress was more on accuracy than on speed
6. definition=a point of convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges
7. definition=a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Their <t>focus</t> on the Twitter coverage is controversial." We need to identify which numbered sense of "focus" (from a list of 7 definitions) matches the usage in the sentence.

Let's analyze the sentence. "Their focus on the Twitter coverage" means they are concentrating attention or emphasizing the Twitter coverage. "Focus" here refers to concentration of attention or emphasis.

Now examine the senses:
1. definition=the concentration of attention or energy on something | examples=the focus of activity shifted to molecular biology
2. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system | examples=in focus
3. definition=maximum clarity or distinctness of an idea | examples=the controversy brought clearly into focus an important difference of opinion
4. definition=a central point or locus of an infection in an organism | examples=the focus of infection
5. definition=special emphasis attached to something | examples=the stress was more on accuracy than on speed
6. definition=a point of convergence of light (or other radiation) or a point from which it diverges
7. definition=a fixed reference point on the concave side of a conic section

The sentence uses "focus" to mean directing attention or concentration. Senses 1 and 5 both seem relevant. Sense 1 is "the concentration of attention or energy on something". Sense 5 is "special emphasis attached to something". The sentence is "Their focus on the Twitter coverage..." This implies they are focusing on it, i.e., concentrating attention. "Focus" is often used synonymously with emphasis, but the core meaning here is concentration of attention. The word "on" following "focus" is a clue: "focus on" typically means to concentrate attention on. Sense 1 says "the concentration of attention or energy on something". The example uses "focus of activity", but the definition explicitly says "on something". Sense 5 says "emphasis attached to something", which might be more about stress or importance rather than the act of concentrating. However, "focus" in this context is definitely sense 1. Let's check if sense 5 could also fit. If someone has a "focus on" something, it means they are concentrating on it. Sense 1 is the primary definition that matches this. I will go with 1.

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

Sentence: Their focus on the Twitter <t>coverage</t> is controversial.

Senses:
1. definition=the total amount and type of insurance carried
2. definition=the extent to which something is covered | examples=the dictionary's coverage of standard English is excellent
3. definition=the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television | examples=they accused the paper of biased coverage of race relations

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Their focus on the Twitter <t>coverage</t> is controversial."

We need to determine which sense of "coverage" is used. The senses provided:

1. definition=the total amount and type of insurance carried
2. definition=the extent to which something is covered | examples=the dictionary's coverage of standard English is excellent
3. definition=the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television | examples=they accused the paper of biased coverage of race relations

The sentence talks about "Twitter coverage", which in context likely refers to news or media reporting about Twitter. "Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial" suggests that they are focusing on how Twitter is being reported in the news, or perhaps the coverage by media. Sense 3 is about news as presented by reporters. Sense 2 is about the extent to which something is covered (like a dictionary's coverage). Here, "Twitter coverage" most naturally means the reporting on Twitter by the media, so sense 3 fits.

Therefore, the answer is 3.

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

Sentence: In <t>interviews</t>, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials.

Senses:
1. definition=the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by journalists | examples=my interviews with teenagers revealed a weakening of religious bonds
2. definition=a conference (usually with someone important) | examples=he had a consultation with the judge

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a set of senses for the word "interviews" (marked with <t>). We need to determine which numbered sense is used in the sentence. We must return only the number.

The sentence: "In <t>interviews</t>, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."

Senses:
1. the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by journalists | examples: my interviews with teenagers revealed a weakening of religious bonds
2. a conference (usually with someone important) | examples: he had a consultation with the judge

We need to pick the sense that matches the usage. The sentence says "In interviews, some journalists said..." This means that during the process of interviews, journalists expressed an opinion. That aligns with sense 1: "the questioning of a person... often conducted by journalists". It's not a conference with someone important like a judge; it's the typical journalistic interview. So sense 1 is correct.

Thus, answer: 1.

We are given a sentence: "In interviews, some <t>journalists</t> said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."

We need to identify which sense of "journalist" is used, from the two provided:
1. a writer for newspapers and magazines
2. someone who keeps a diary or journal

The word is marked with <t> and we need to return the number of the correct sense.

Let's analyze the context. The sentence talks about journalists giving their opinions on a claim about instant news being more incendiary than slower reports, and that this view would make poor court policy regarding coverage of future trials. This clearly refers to people who are involved in news reporting, likely for newspapers, magazines, or other media outlets. They are not people who keep personal diaries. So sense 1 is the correct one.

Thus, the answer is 1.

The phrase is "the <t>claim</t> that instant news was more incendiary...". This is a claim that something is true: "instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly". That is an assertion that something is true or factual. So sense 2.

Thus answer: 2.
