**Analyzing "Game" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the target word is "game," and it's definitely in a sports article – a basketball match between the Azulgranas/Vitorians and Maccabi. My initial thought process zeroes in on distinguishing between various senses of the word. I quickly consider options: animal hunted for food (definitely not), occupation (nope), game equipment (unlikely).

My focus narrows to options like "a contest with rules to determine a winner" and "a single play of a sport or other contest." The sentence "But the game, despite being headed for halftime..." immediately triggers the "single play" sense (sense 8). The phrase "the game lasted two hours" is a perfect fit.

I then went to check WordNet, confirming this distinction. game%1:04:03:: a single play of a sport or other contest. game%1:04:00:: a contest with rules to determine a winner. The text clearly refers to a *specific* match, an *event*. It's not a general basketball game; it's *this* game, *this* match.

I'm now even more confident. The sentence, "But the game, despite being headed for halftime, was not more decided..." refers directly to the ongoing match.

So, it's sense 8. The definition "a single play of a sport or other contest" fits perfectly. I'm satisfied; sense index 8.

**Analyzing "Putting the Pressure On" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, so the target is "pressure" in the context of a basketball game, specifically Maccabi versus Baskonia. The phrase "putting the pressure on" is the key here. My initial thought is that it's more nuanced than a simple physical action, especially in a sports context. The text indicates that "putting the pressure on" led to the Maccabi team getting involved in the game, which means applying some sort of compelling force or condition to win.

Let's break down the possible senses of "pressure". We have:
*   Sense 1: Physical exertion, the act of pressing. Definitely not.
*   Sense 5: A force that compels. Could be.
*   Sense 7: An oppressive condition of distress. Also a strong contender.

In sports, this phrase often means forcing mistakes or creating a difficult situation for the opponent. While "press" in basketball is a direct synonym, here "putting the pressure on" seems more general. It represents increasing the intensity to force your opponent to take errors. Is it psychological pressure (sense 7) or a compelling force (sense 5)? The sentence "the 'hand of Elias' putting the pressure on, they managed to get involved..." shows that a strategic application of force/intensity is the most likely meaning.

Let me revisit the examples: Sense 5 ("the public brought pressure to bear on the government") is clearly about a compelling force, and sense 7 is distress. Given the context, I'm leaning toward Sense 5. The action is not just to be in distress but act to make the opponent under distress. I should search for "put pressure on". Usually it's "bring pressure to bear on" which corresponds to sense 5. "putting the pressure on" translates better to "exerting force that compels".

Ultimately, I think the best fit here is Sense 5: "a force that compels". This captures the strategic element of the phrase and how Maccabi tried to win. It is exerting a compelling force that leads the opponent to make mistakes, making them uncomfortable.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Game" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "game," and the surface form is, well, "game." Straightforward enough. Now, let's dive into the context: "But the game, despite being headed for halftime... they managed to get involved in the <t>game</t>." My initial instinct is to consider a few senses, but the context quickly narrows things down.

First, I need to choose between Sense 4, which is "a single play of a sport or other contest," and Sense 7, "a contest with rules to determine a winner." The crucial phrase here is "get involved in the game." Is this about *the* game itself, as in the general concept (Sense 7), or the specific *match* being played (Sense 4)?

The phrase "the game started out..." strongly suggests a particular match, a specific instance of gameplay. Sense 4, with examples like "the game lasted two hours," seems to be the better fit. The reference to halftime also solidifies that this is a specific *instance* of a game.

Okay, let's compare: Sense 4 (game%1:04:03::) - "a single play of a sport or other contest" like "the game lasted two hours," and Sense 7 (game%1:04:00::) which is "a contest with rules to determine a winner" like "you need four people to play this game." It seems clear that Sense 4 is the way to go here. "get involved in the game" definitely sounds like they're talking about being involved in the *match*.

To clarify, let's make sure:  "they managed to get involved in the game" matches "the game started out..." and that is clearly an instance of a match.

I'm thinking, is there even a doubt about this? I think the context confirms Sense 4 is right. The phrase "the game lasted two hours" makes "a single play of a sport or other contest" really clear, and the match is definitely "the game" in this sentence.

Let's double-check the WordNet definitions again to be certain. Sense 7 is the general concept of the game itself, the set of rules, the abstract entity. Sense 4 describes a specific match: the actual instance of play that's currently ongoing. "Get involved in the game" is about being involved in the specific match, so it *must* be Sense 4. So, yes, Sense 4 is correct.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Role" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "role," and it's used in the phrase "played a decisive role in the 'yellows'' return to the light." My first thought is to zero in on the core meaning here. The obvious starting point is to consider the context: Eidson and Pnini.

Right away, I need to consider which sense is intended. There are a few likely candidates: what something is used for, the normal activity of a person in a setting, or, the actions/activities assigned to someone – which often links to the idiomatic "play a role."

My initial intuition leans toward the third sense, the one that relates to a "part" someone plays. "Played a decisive role" heavily implies a *contribution* or participation in the event. We're talking about their impact, not just their position.

Let me verify this. The phrase "play a role" usually signifies involvement, right? Thinking about my knowledge of word usage, it seems closely aligned with 'part' when we refer to a person's contribution. Let me check WordNet. Yes, "play a part" or "play a role" is often under "part" or "role" (sense 3).

So, now let's think about the synonyms. Sense 3, "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group," seems most appropriate. Considering that Eidson and Pnini are basketball players, the phrase suggests their actions as contribution: did they *play a decisive role* as in *contribution* or *role* as in *position*? "played a decisive role" implies they contributed to the event. This aligns with "part" (sense 3) or function.

I need to make sure I am thinking of all possibilities, so let's revisit that dictionary. "Role" in the "play a role" phrase would be the third sense. WordNet supports this.

So, let's look at WordNet for "role": "role%1:04:00:: the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group" -- this is the one!

Given the phrase and its context, "role" translates to their contribution, not their standard position or function. It's about what they *did* that was decisive. Therefore, sense 3 is the correct meaning. This idiom maps to "part%1:04:00::" / "role%1:04:00::".

I'm confident. I'll stick with sense 3.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Players" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the word I'm focusing on is "players," and the context screams sports – specifically, basketball, given the references to Ivanovic's team, quarters, points, halftime, and the court itself. This immediately narrows down the possible meanings. Let's run through the candidate senses:

*   **Theatrical performer:** Nope. This feels completely irrelevant here.
*   **Game participant (sports/game):** Bingo! This fits perfectly with Ivanovic having "players" on a team. It's the most obvious and logical fit.
*   **Social/sexual partners:** Definitely not. This just doesn't align with the sporting context.
*   **Important participant (business deal):** While "players" *could* be used metaphorically in business, the sporting terminology is a dead giveaway. This is a red herring.
*   **Musician:** No. Again, the basketball cues override this meaning.

Therefore, considering Ivanovic's position as a coach or manager, the reference to his "players" must mean the individuals actively *participating* in the basketball game. Sense 2 is the correct interpretation. This is a straightforward semantic disambiguation exercise.

**Deconstructing "Couple" in the Context of Football**

Okay, the task is to pinpoint the meaning of "couple" in "needed to run a couple of plays correctly." My initial thought is to analyze the nuances here, given my expertise. "A couple of plays" could be literally two, or it could be a small, indefinite quantity. The key is that "a couple of" usually implies a small, indefinite number unless we're talking about two strictly paired items.

Let's break down the semantics. We have Sense 1, which denotes a strict pair, like a "pair" or "twosome." Then there's Sense 5, which represents a "small indefinite number". Hmmm... so does "a couple of plays" mean precisely two, or a broader "few"? It's likely more of the latter. Even if it *did* mean exactly two, which sense is the best fit? Based on my understanding, the correct "couple%1:23:01::" (a small indefinite number).

Consider the parallel: "a couple of days" clearly implies "a few days." Therefore, "a couple of plays correctly" similarly suggests "a few plays correctly." Sense 5 is the most accurate, given the intended meaning. The word "couple" in this context is best understood as a small indefinite number, not a strictly defined pair.

**Analyzing "Plays" in the Basketball Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct meaning of "plays" in this game scenario. The context screams basketball - we've got "second quarter," "half-time," "points," "three-pointers" – all the telltale signs. The crucial phrase, "run a couple of plays correctly," immediately makes me think of pre-planned strategies. "Plays" in a team sport, like basketball, isn't about general movement; it's about executing a pre-arranged tactic.

Let's dive into the candidates. Candidate 7 jumps out: "a preset plan of action in team sports." That's the bullseye! The definition of Candidate 7 immediately aligns with the phrase "run a couple of plays." The example they give, "the coach drew up the plays for her team," is spot on. "Run a play" is textbook sports terminology for putting a plan into action.

Now, just to be thorough, I'll briefly scan the other options. Candidate 5 mentions "deliberate coordinated movement requiring dexterity and skill," (maneuver) which might fit *some* contexts, but the given example of "the runner was out on a play by the shortstop" is only a partial match. This isn't about individual skill; it's about team execution. Therefore, Candidate 7 takes the lead. Candidate 7's definition fits the bill, it is most certainly the one, and I'm confident in selecting Candidate 7 as the correct sense.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Help" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "help," and the surface form is just "help" – straightforward enough. The context is “…and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead…” My immediate thought is that "help" here signifies assistance or contribution.

I've got a few candidate senses: "a resource (aid, assistance)," "a means of serving (avail, service)," "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose (aid, assist, assistance)," and "a person who contributes... (assistant, helper, supporter)."

Looking at "the help of English and Ribas," it seems like it's about the *activity* they performed, their assistance. It's not a *person* that's being described, so sense 4 is out, and it's not a *resource* in this instance. Now, between "a means of serving" and the activity sense. "With the help of my friends" is definitely about the activity of their contributing to the effort. It's not about the means, but the actual assistance.

So, is it sense 3 or 4? No, "the help of [people]" usually means their assistance (the activity). "With the help of my friends" -> activity of contributing. Sense 3 fits best here.

I'm leaning towards "the activity of contributing to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose" which aligns with synonyms like "aid," "assist," and "assistance." Now, let's see... "he gave me an assist" fits that, or "could not walk without assistance."

Yes, that's it! "The help of English and Ribas" clearly translates to "the assistance of English and Ribas." It's an action, an *activity*.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing "Lead" in the Context of a Basketball Game**

Okay, so the target is the word "lead" in the context of a basketball game between Alavan/Vitorians and the Maccabees. The score is 54-67, which gives us a crucial piece of information right off the bat: there's an advantage involved. Let's see...

I've got a comprehensive list of candidate senses for "lead". I see options like the timing of ignition, a leadership position, and, interestingly, jumper cables, pencil lead, baseball base runners, and even an animal leash. These are all clearly not relevant.

My focus quickly narrows to the more likely contenders. Sense 3, "an advantage held by a competitor in a race," and Sense 7, "(sports) the score by which a team or individual is winning," are the immediate frontrunners. Given the context of the scoreboard and the specific score, I immediately lean towards a sports-related meaning.

Upon closer inspection, Sense 7, "the score by which a team or individual is winning," nails it. "Brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67)" is a perfect match. The score, 54-67, explicitly quantifies the winning margin, which is exactly what sense 7 defines. Sense 3 is about races, and though basketball has a score to determine the winner, it does not have a race per se. Therefore, the definition under Sense 7 is spot on.

**Analyzing the Context of "Team"**

Okay, so the target is the word "team," same as the surface form, which is straightforward. The surrounding text gives us the context: "which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67)." Right away, this screams sports, specifically something like basketball, with references to scores, quarters, and names like Maccabi and Splitter, which I recognize.

My immediate assumption, given the sports setting, is that "team" refers to a sports team. Let's confirm that with my understanding of the senses. Looking at my knowledge base, the two key senses are: Sense 1, which involves draft animals, and Sense 2, a cooperative unit, particularly in sports – like a squad.

Given the context of a sports match, it's a no-brainer. Sense 2 is the correct interpretation here. There's no possible scenario in this passage where "team" would refer to draft animals. This analysis is quite unambiguous.

**Analyzing "End" in the Context of a Basketball Game**

Okay, so the target is "end" in the phrase "...at the end of the third quarter (57-67)." I need to figure out the right sense. My initial thought is that "end of the third quarter" refers to the *moment* the quarter concludes.  Let's see, WordNet options: sense 2, the point in time at which something ends, and sense 13, the concluding parts of an event or occurrence.

The phrasing is crucial here. Is it a *time* thing or a *process* thing? Typically, "end of the year/month/game/quarter" leans towards sense 2, that "point in time." It's a specific, defined duration. A basketball quarter has a set clock; it ends *at* a certain time.

Now, that supporting example with narrowing the score... that makes me pause. Could that fit sense 13, the *final* moments? But even with that example, “the end of the third quarter” functions like “the end of the year.” I'm still leaning towards the time-based sense.

So I dig a bit deeper. Comparing the definitions: sense 2 is about *the point in time*, while sense 13 is the *concluding parts* of something. A quarter is a time unit, a block of time, and "at the end" specifies *when* this block is finished. It’s not necessarily about the *action* of ending itself.

To solidify this, let’s see if this aligns with how WordNet tags these kinds of phrases. "End of the century," "end of the day," "end of the year" all point towards the "point in time" sense. A quarter in a game is also, like a year, a unit of time. So, "end of the third quarter" is *the point in time* the third quarter finishes. Yep, sense 2 is the most appropriate here. I'm going with it.

**Analyzing the Context of "Quarter"**

Okay, so the target word is "quarter," and thankfully, the surface form is identical. The context is pretty clear: we're dealing with a basketball game – Maccabi versus Alavan, Vitorians. The text is peppered with phrases that immediately scream basketball: "second quarter," "halftime," "third quarter," "last period," "13 points," "three-pointers." No doubt about it.

The sentence that needs analysis is: "...which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third <t>quarter</t> (57-67)."

Now, considering the provided sense definitions, sense 6, "one of four divisions into which some games are divided," is the most likely candidate. Given the game setting and the terminology used, this sense fits perfectly. This definition is spot on, and it applies without any ambiguity. Therefore, I'm confident that sense 6 is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Word "Minutes" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "minutes," and the surrounding phrase is "what they had earned during the first thirty minutes." Straight away, I'm thinking basketball, and that sets the stage. The "first thirty" immediately cues that we're talking about units of time, specifically within a game context - three quarters of the time. This makes the intended meaning perfectly clear: we're talking about a unit of time, specifically, that's equivalent to 60 seconds (or 1/60th of an hour).

I quickly went through the candidate senses: distance measured by time, a particular point in time, angular distance, a short note, an indefinitely short time, and finally, a unit of time. The context totally eliminates the first five. Sense 6 is the only one that makes logical sense in this situation, so my choice is clear. Sense index 6 it is!

**Analyzing the Context of "Team" in a Basketball Game**

Okay, so the target word is "team," and the context screams basketball: "Maccabees," "Vitorians," "half-time," "three-pointers," and even "Splitter fouling out." The mention of "Pnini and Eidson, the best on their team, did not give up..." solidifies the sports context.

Now, let's look at the candidates. We have "team%1:14:01::" which refers to draft animals, and "team%1:14:00::" which describes a cooperative unit, particularly in sports.

Given the surrounding words and phrases, the correct sense is undoubtedly "team%1:14:00::" – the basketball team. The draft animal sense is completely irrelevant in this scenario. It's a straightforward disambiguation.

**Analyzing "Team" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, so we're talking about a basketball game here – Maccabees, Vitorians, three-pointers, and all that good stuff. The sentence in question is, "keep their team alive from the three-point line." Now, the target word is "team." Let's break down the possibilities.

My first instinct is, and as a subject matter expert I would expect, that the second definition, "draft animals," is utterly irrelevant here, it makes no logical sense. We're obviously talking about a group of players working together. So, the correct meaning, absolutely, is the first choice: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)." It's the only one that fits the context of basketball and making sense out of the sentence. "Their team" refers, logically, to the players on a basketball team, collaborating to score and thus "keep their team alive." Case closed.

**Analyzing "Line" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, the target word is "line," and the context is a basketball game, specifically talking about keeping a team "alive from the three-point line." My expert intuition immediately flags that "three-point line" is a specific term in this sports context. Therefore, I know I need to find the correct sense of "line" related to a demarcating mark or boundary within a sport.

Let's quickly check the proposed senses to confirm. Sense 1 looks promising: *in games or sports; a mark indicating positions or bounds of the playing area.* Perfect! This directly aligns with the "three-point line."

I do a quick mental scan of the other options just to be thorough: a spatial location, a long mark, and a length without breadth don't quite fit the specific meaning we're after, so I don't see any need to consider them further. Sense 1 is the clear winner here. My final choice would be sense index 1.

**Analyzing "Team" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, so I'm looking at this sentence: "In spite of this, and with Splitter fouling out, Ivonic's team didn't rush, defended well, and, even though the Israelis came close at the last minute, the game was already won..." The target word is "team," obviously. Let's break down the context – basketball game, Eidson, Pnini, Ivanovic’s players, three-pointers, scoreboard, third quarter, fouling out, Tel Aviv… all the hallmarks of a sports match.

Now, I need to consider potential meanings. I immediately think of the two primary senses I'm most familiar with: "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" and, while archaic, "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something." Context is key here, and the basketball terminology screams that we are looking at a group of players working together. The second candidate is by far the correct one. The sentence clearly refers to a group of athletes playing as a single unit in a basketball game. Therefore, candidate sense 2 is the clear winner. This is a pretty straightforward disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Game" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, the target word is "game," and the context screams basketball: "three-pointers," "scoreboard," "quarter," "Splitter fouling out," "Tel Aviv." The sentence is: "...the game was already won and victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season." Let's break down the potential senses. I've got a list here, and it’s a good starting point. I see the main contenders right away are probably:

*   **Sense 1:** a single play of a sport or other contest (like a specific match).
*   **Sense 4:** a contest with rules to determine a winner (the general concept).

I can immediately rule out most of the other senses, like "secret scheme," "occupation," "animal hunted for food" (that would be strange!), the score at a particular point, amusement/pastime, tennis-specific, frivolous behavior, the flesh of wild animals, or game equipment.

My initial thought is that it must be either sense 1 or sense 4. "The game was already won" definitely suggests a specific *instance* of playing, not the *concept* of the game itself, like a particular match. Sense 1's definition, "a single play of a sport or other contest" with the example "the game lasted two hours," feels perfect. Here, “the game” is clearly referring to a singular, observable event.

I quickly check WordNet hierarchy to make sure my intuition is correct. Sense 1 is defined as "a single play of a sport or other contest" and is exactly the match. Sense 4 is the broader concept of "a contest with rules to determine a winner," like the abstract game of basketball.

The phrase "the game was already won" indicates that this is a *specific* match that is referred to. It’s not about the game of basketball itself, but a single *occurrence* of the game being played. The example "the game lasted two hours" is the same here and thus, the most appropriate is sense 1.

**Analyzing the Use of "Time" in Context**

Okay, the task is to pinpoint the specific meaning of "time" in the sentence "... victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season." My target, both the lemma and the surface form, is "time." The context suggests a specific instance. The phrase "first time" is a strong indicator.

Let's quickly check the candidate senses: I've considered rhythm, clock time, the fourth dimension, an indefinite period, a resource, a suitable moment, personal experience, the continuum of experience, an instance or single occasion, and a prison term.

Given the phrase "first time," sense 9, "an instance or single occasion for some event," is the obvious and correct one. Bingo.

More disadvantages Ivanovic's players, injured but far from dead, needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe, and that's when the machine gun Marza Teletovic arrived, with three almost consecutive three-pointers and the help of English and Ribas, he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead (54-67), which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter (57-67). The Alavas worked themselves to the bone in the last period, and English and San Emeterio (65-75) had already made it clear that they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty minutes. However, Pnini and Eidson, the best on their team, did not give up and tried to keep their team alive from the three-point line (70-77). In spite of this, and with Splitter fouling out, Ivonic's team didn't rush, defended well, and, even though the Israelis came close at the last minute, the game was already won and victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the <t>season</t>.

**Analyzing "Season" in a Basketball Context**

Okay, so the text gives me "season" within a basketball game scenario, specifically with mentions of three-pointers, fouling out, the scoreboard, and quarters. The sentence I'm working with is, "victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season." My mind immediately jumps to the sports context. I'm focusing on the implied meaning here.

Let me break down the potential senses of the word "season" to be sure. I'm immediately thinking of it as a *sports season*, like a basketball season, which falls under my primary definition: a period of the year marked by special events or activities in some field. I'm confident that this is the correct sense here because of the sports game elements that are present.

While I could consider other definitions, such as the natural seasons (spring, summer, etc.) or a holiday season (like Christmas), those definitions clearly don't apply given the surrounding context of the basketball game. Therefore, the most relevant interpretation of "season" in this sentence is unequivocally sense 1: the period of time comprising the basketball season.

**Analyzing the "Wall Street" Context: A Deep Dive**

Okay, so the target is "wall_street" (surface form: "Wall Street") and the context is "Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar." My immediate reaction is, this *has* to be referring to the financial markets, not the actual physical street. But let's be methodical.

I've got two senses to consider: "a street in lower Manhattan" (sense 1), and "used to allude to the securities industry" (sense 2). The "New York Stock Exchange closed..." phrase confirms this is something other than the physical location. My expertise tells me that "Wall Street" is often used metonymically for the securities industry.

So, "Wall Street closes" – what does that *really* mean? Does it mean the NYSE on Wall Street? Is it the *entire* securities industry closing? I need to clarify if it is about the *physical exchange* closing. The text says "the stock exchange closed." That's key.

Alright, checking the hypernyms: the industry is the more correct one here. The financial markets!

But hang on… I'm thinking about "Wall Street closes" as a news headline. Is this really about the industry closing, or is it more specific? Could it be the stock market *at* that location? It's really the *stock market*, right? That makes more sense.

Is it the *industry* or a *street/symbol*? It's the market, or the securities industry, that closes. The exchange is located on Wall Street, but the metonymic use is more relevant here. I'm using "the Street" to refer to this, and this confirms it is the securities industry.

Now, if I analyze "Wall Street ended lower..." is it referring to the street or industry?

WordNet defines Sense 1 as a location and Sense 2 as an industry/group.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. "Wall Street" here acts *metonymically* as an agent ("closes without momentum"). We need to consider *which sense is best at describing the metonymic function*. Clearly, the physical street doesn't have momentum; the market does.

Here's the problem: is "Wall Street" the market, or the industry? "the Street expects earnings" refers to the securities industry.

If "Wall Street closes without momentum", it refers to the US stock market closing; the stock market is part of the securities industry, so is sense 2 a synonym for *The Market*? I think so. It is not listed as a *location* to close. This is critical. A *location* can't close.

Let's look at sense 2 closely: "used to allude to the securities industry of the United States." That's it! Sense 2 fits perfectly.

Often, it is not split, unless done specifically. Sense 2 *is* the metonymic sense for the industry/market.

Therefore, the only reasonable interpretation here is that Sense 2 is the correct one. The physical street does not close, but the securities industry *does*.
