Target lemma: advantage
Target surface form: advantage
Context:
Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out. Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The target word is "advantage" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses sports (likely football/soccer given the references to "cards", "suspension", "Championship", "rival").
    *   It discusses a situation where players deliberately get cards/suspensions to start the next phase without "cards that could threaten their participation".
    *   The core sentence: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
    *   The specific target instance is: "...it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>." and "...taking advantages allowed by the rules."
    *   Wait, the prompt highlights the specific instance: "...it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."
    *   The context talks about a "benefit" or "favorable position" gained through a strategic action (getting rid of yellow cards early).
    *   It explicitly mentions "obtained benefit" earlier: "nor is an obtained benefit in the same game".
    *   It discusses the "quality of having a superior or more favorable position" (starting the next phase without cards).
    *   It also mentions "benefit resulting from some event or action".

3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1 (advantage%1:07:00::):** "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position". Synonyms: vantage. Example: "the experience gave him the advantage over me". This fits the idea of a strategic upper hand in a competition.
    *   **Sense 2 (advantage%1:23:00::):** "(tennis) first point scored after deuce". This is specific to tennis scoring. The context mentions cards, championship phases, etc., which are not standard tennis terms (yellow cards exist in tennis but are rare/specific, "accumulation" is more soccer). The context is definitely not about the specific score state of "deuce" or "advantage" in tennis. This sense is incorrect.
    *   **Sense 3 (advantage%1:07:01::):** "benefit resulting from some event or action". Synonyms: reward. Examples: "it turned out to my advantage; reaping the rewards of generosity".

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Context: The text discusses the strategic gain ("players will begin the following phase... without cards"). Is this a "superior position" (Sense 1) or a "benefit resulting from an action" (Sense 3)?
    *   The text earlier contrasts: "nor is an obtained benefit in the same game". It says it's a "long term advantage".
    *   In WordNet hierarchies, "advantage" often relates to "state" (Sense 1) or "act/possession/benefit" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms.
        *   Sense 1 synonyms: *vantage*. This suggests a strategic position relative to an opponent.
        *   Sense 3 synonyms: *reward*. This suggests a gain or profit.
    *   The text describes a strategic situation where the team manipulates the rules to be in a better spot later. The phrase "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules" suggests exploiting a situation for a gain.
    *   Let's look at the specific usage: "it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."
    *   Is it a state of being in a better position (Sense 1) or the benefit itself (Sense 3)?
    *   Usually, in sports contexts, "having an advantage" often aligns with Sense 1 (superior position). However, the text explicitly analyzes the nature of this "thing" obtained. "What type of advantage... obtained". "Benefit resulting from some event or action" (Sense 3) fits very well with "obtained advantage". You obtain a benefit. You gain an advantageous position (Sense 1).
    *   Let's check the WordNet hierarchy/definitions more closely.
        *   Sense 1: "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position". Focus is on the *quality* or *state*. "He has the advantage." (He is in a better spot).
        *   Sense 3: "benefit resulting from some event or action". Focus is on the *result* or *gain*. "It turned out to my advantage." (It benefited me).
    *   The context says: "The advantage... consists in the fact that the players will begin... without cards". This describes a specific beneficial outcome resulting from the deliberate action (getting cards). The "action" -> "result" link points strongly to Sense 3.
    *   However, Sense 1 is the most common sense for competitive contexts ("competitive advantage"). Let's see if the "benefit" aspect outweighs the "position" aspect.
    *   "It isn't a disadvantageous situation... nor is an obtained benefit... The advantage consists in...".
    *   Wait, the text says: "nor is an obtained benefit in the same game". It denies it is a benefit in the *same* game. Then it says "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase...". This looks like a benefit resulting from the action (taking the card).
    *   Often, Sense 1 and Sense 3 are close. But Sense 3 specifically highlights the causal link: "resulting from some event or action". The context is entirely about an action (deliberate violation) and what results from it.
    *   Sense 1 is more static: "He has an advantage because he is taller."
    *   Sense 3 is dynamic: "He gained an advantage by cheating."
    *   The text discusses "taking advantages allowed by the rules". "Taking a benefit" vs "Taking a superior position".
    *   WordNet examples for Sense 3: "reaping the rewards of generosity". "It turned out to my advantage".
    *   WordNet examples for Sense 1: "the experience gave him the advantage over me".
    *   The text discusses "what type of advantage the violators obtained". "Obtained" suggests "benefit/gain". Sense 3 synonym is "reward". Sense 1 synonym is "vantage".
    *   In sports strategy, "advantage" is often Sense 1 (position). But the definition of Sense 3 "benefit resulting from some event or action" fits the *consequence* analysis here very well.
    *   Let's check standard WSD mapping for "take advantage of" or "obtain an advantage".
    *   If I say "He gained an advantage," it usually means he put himself in a superior position (Sense 1).
    *   However, the specific definition of Sense 3 "benefit resulting from..." seems to capture the "good result" aspect being debated here ("it isn't a disadvantage... nor a benefit in the same game...").
    *   Actually, looking at the synonyms for Sense 3 ("reward"), it feels slightly off for a sports strategy context. "Vantage" (Sense 1) is specifically about position.
    *   Let's re-read the specific sentence target. "...it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."
    *   Is it a "benefit" or a "favorable position"?
    *   It is a favorable position (starting without cards) resulting from an action.
    *   Often, Sense 1 is the "catch-all" for competitive advantage.
    *   Let's look at the distractors. Sense 2 is Tennis. Sense 3 is Benefit/Result. Sense 1 is Position/Quality.
    *   In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "advantage" in the phrase "take advantage of" or "to one's advantage" maps to Sense 3.
    *   Example: "it turned out to my advantage" -> Sense 3.
    *   Example: "gave him the advantage" -> Sense 1.
    *   The text: "it is not so clear that it is an advantage". This structure "is an advantage" equates to "is a benefit".
    *   "What type of advantage... obtained". "Obtained benefit".
    *   The sentence structure "It turned out to my advantage" (Sense 3) is similar to "it is an advantage" (predicative use).
    *   However, the context is heavily about the strategic *position* in the tournament ("start the following phase...").
    *   Let's look at the definition of Sense 1 again: "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position". "Starting without cards" is a "favorable position".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 definition again: "benefit resulting from some event or action". "Starting without cards" is a benefit.
    *   Which is primary?
    *   The text explicitly asks "what type of advantage... obtained".
    *   Usually, "competitive advantage" is Sense 1.
    *   Let's look at the synonym "vantage" for Sense 1. It implies a standpoint or a strategic edge.
    *   Let's look at the synonym "reward" for Sense 3. Does the team get a "reward"? Or a "strategic edge"?
    *   "Reward" seems too transactional/monetary or moral. "Advantage" in sports is about the state of play relative to the opponent.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 (superior/favorable position) is the standard interpretation in a competitive/sporting context. The text debates whether the *position* is actually favorable ("it is not so clear that it is an advantage").
    *   Furthermore, Sense 3's definition "benefit resulting from some event or action" overlaps with Sense 1 significantly in practice, but Sense 1 is the hypernym or the broader "state" concept usually applied to games.
    *   Let's check if there's a nuance in the examples provided in the prompt.
    *   Sense 1 example: "the experience gave him the advantage over me". (Competition).
    *   Sense 3 example: "reaping the rewards of generosity". (Moral/General benefit).
    *   The context is sports competition. "The experience gave him the advantage over me" is much closer to "The players begin without cards [giving them an advantage over rivals]".
    *   Sense 1 fits the sports domain better.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    Double check Sense 2: Tennis. Definitely not. "Cards", "Championship phase" are not tennis terms.

    Double check Sense 3: "Benefit resulting from some event or action". While the advantage *is* a result of an action, the *concept* of advantage in a game is defined by the position relative to the opponent. "It is an advantage" = "It is a favorable position".

    Let's look at the phrase "taking advantages allowed by the rules".
    "Taking advantage" usually maps to Sense 3 in the idiom "take advantage of [someone/something]".
    However, here it is "taking advantages [noun]".
    If I say "taking advantages allowed by the rules", I am acquiring favorable positions/benefits.
    But the target is "...it is an <t>advantage</t>."
    Is it a benefit? Yes. Is it a favorable position? Yes.
    WordNet 3.0/3.1 distinction:
    1:07:00 -> position.
    1:07:01 -> benefit.

    In SemCor:
    "advantage" in "weight advantage" -> 1:07:00.
    "advantage" in "to my advantage" -> 1:07:01.
    "advantage" in "tactical advantage" -> 1:07:00.

    The phrase "it is an advantage" describes the situation.
    "The advantage consists in the fact that..."
    This fact creates a "superior or more favorable position" (Sense 1).
    Although Sense 3 is tempting because of "obtained" and "result", Sense 1 is the standard sense for "advantage" in a competition where one party gains ground relative to another. The "benefit" sense (Sense 3) is often used in non-competitive contexts (e.g., "the advantage of living in the city is...") or specific idioms ("to one's advantage").
    Here, the context is clearly competitive sport: "rival", "team", "Championship", "game".
    In competitive contexts, Sense 1 is dominant.

    Final check:
    Target: "...it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."
    Does this mean "it is not a benefit"? Or "it is not a favorable position"?
    The text argues that the position might not be favorable because "the team can be eliminated first... and in addition... go to the second cycle...".
    This analysis of the *strategic position* aligns perfectly with Sense 1's definition "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position". The text is questioning if the position *is* actually favorable/superior.
    Sense 3 ("benefit") implies a gain has been made. The text argues the "benefit" might be an illusion or compromised by other factors (indetermination).
    However, Sense 1 encompasses the *evaluation* of the position relative to the opponent.
    The primary definition of advantage in a game is Sense 1.

    Selection: Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is discussing sports, specifically about players deliberately getting cards/suspensions in a strategic way. The target word "actions" refers to the deliberate fouls or actions taken by players to get suspended in one game so they can start fresh in the next phase without cards.

The text says: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

The "actions" here refer to things done by the players - deliberately getting carded/suspended. This is "something done" - a deliberate act by the players.

Let me check the candidate senses:

1. action%1:04:02:: - "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - This fits well. The actions are deliberate acts by players to manipulate the card system.

2. action%1:26:00:: - "the state of being active" - This is about activity/activeness as a state, not specific acts.

3. action%1:04:03:: - "a military engagement" - Not applicable.

4. action%1:04:00:: - "natural process" - Not applicable, these are human actions.

5. action%1:10:00:: - "the series of events that form a plot" - This is about narrative/literature, not applicable.

6. action%1:07:00:: - "the trait of being active and energetic and forceful" - This is a personality trait, not specific acts.

7. action%1:06:00:: - "the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism" - Mechanical, not applicable.

8. action%1:04:01:: - "a judicial proceeding" - This is about legal actions. While the context mentions "legal fraud" and "sanction," the actions themselves are not legal proceedings - they're actions taken by players on the field.

9. action%1:04:04:: - "an act by a government body or supranational organization" - Not applicable.

10. action%1:04:00:: - "the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field" - Not applicable.

The best fit is sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - the actions refer to specific things the players did (deliberately getting carded to clear their record).

The example for sense 1 is "there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions" which shows it's used for specific acts done by people, which matches the context where players' actions are being discussed.

The target word is "part" in the sentence: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence talks about "sporting spirit" being "part of the strategic decisions"
- The meaning here is that sporting spirit is included within or constitutes a portion of strategic decisions
- It's expressing that something (sporting spirit) is included as a component/portion of something larger (strategic decisions)

Let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=part%1:24:00:: | definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | synonyms=portion, component part, component, constituent | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript
- This fits well - "sporting spirit" is part of "strategic decisions" - it's something included within a larger whole

2. sense_key=part%1:06:00:: | definition=something less than the whole of a human artifact | synonyms=portion | examples=the rear part of the house; glue the two parts together
- This refers to physical artifacts, not really fitting

3. sense_key=part%1:17:00:: | definition=a portion of a natural object | synonyms=piece | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts; he needed a piece of granite
- This is for natural objects, not fitting

4. sense_key=part%1:09:02:: | definition=that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation | examples=it requires vigilance on our part; they resisted every effort on his part
- This is about "on someone's part" constructions, not fitting

5. sense_key=part%1:15:00:: | definition=the extended spatial location of something | synonyms=region | examples=the farming regions of France; religions in all parts of the world
- Not fitting, this is about spatial location

6. sense_key=part%1:04:01:: | definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | synonyms=function, office, role | examples=the function of a teacher; the government must do its part
- This is about roles/functions, not fitting

7. sense_key=part%1:09:01:: | definition=an actor's portrayal of someone in a play | synonyms=character, role, theatrical role, persona | examples=she played the part of Desdemona
- This is about theatrical roles, not fitting

8. sense_key=part%1:21:00:: | definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | synonyms=share, portion, percentage | examples=he wanted his share in cash
- This is about shares/assets, not fitting

9. sense_key=part%1:09:00:: | definition=one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | synonyms=section, division | examples=the written part of the exam; the finance section of the company
- This could work, but it's more about divisions of a whole, slightly different

10. sense_key=part%1:08:01:: | definition=a line of scalp that can be seen when sections of hair are combed in opposite directions | synonyms=parting | examples=his part was right in the middle
- Not fitting

11. sense_key=part%1:10:00:: | definition=the melody carried by a particular voice or instrument in polyphonic music | synonyms=voice | examples=he tried to sing the tenor part
- Not fitting

12. sense_key=part%1:04:03:: | definition=the part played by a person in bringing about a result | synonyms=contribution, share | examples=I am proud of my contribution in advancing the project; they all did their share of the work
- Not quite fitting

Looking at sense 1 and sense 9, both could potentially fit:
- Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" - This captures the idea that sporting spirit is part of/included in strategic decisions
- Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided" - This is more about divisions

The phrase "is part of" suggests inclusion - that something is included within a larger whole. Sense 1's example "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" uses the same "part of" construction and captures this inclusion relationship.

Sense 1 seems to be the best fit because:
1. The construction "is part of" matches the example
2. It captures the relationship of inclusion - sporting spirit is something included within strategic decisions
3. The definition "something determined in relation to something that includes it" fits the context well

Therefore, the answer is sense_index:1

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses to determine which one best fits the usage of "decisions" in this passage.

The context is discussing strategic decisions in sports, specifically about players deliberately getting cards (yellow/red cards in soccer/football) in order to start the next phase of a championship without cards that could threaten their participation in future games. The text is examining whether these "strategic decisions" are against the sporting spirit.

The target word is "decisions" in the phrase "the strategic <t>decisions</t> that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=decision%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of making up your mind about something | synonyms=determination, conclusion | examples=the burden of decision was his; he drew his conclusions quickly

This sense refers to the process or act of deciding, of making up one's mind about something. This could potentially fit the context, as the players and teams are making strategic choices.

2. sense_key=decision%1:09:00:: | definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | synonyms=determination, conclusion | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition; his conclusion took the evidence into account

This sense refers to a conclusion or judgment that has been reached. This could also potentially fit the context, as the strategic decisions are positions or choices that teams have reached after consideration.

3. sense_key=decision%1:11:02:: | definition=(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred | examples=had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent

This sense is specific to boxing and refers to a specific type of victory. This doesn't seem to fit the context, which is about soccer/football card accumulation strategies, not boxing decisions.

4. sense_key=decision%1:11:01:: | definition=the outcome of a game or contest | examples=the team dropped three decisions in a row

This sense refers to the outcome or result of a game or contest. The context is discussing strategic choices within a game, not the outcomes of games themselves.

5. sense_key=decision%1:07:00:: | definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | synonyms=decisiveness | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness

This sense refers to a personal character trait of being decisive or resolute. This doesn't fit the context, which is discussing specific strategic choices rather than personality traits.

Given the context, I believe the best match is sense 1: "the act of making up your mind about something." The passage is discussing strategic decisions that teams make, which fits with the concept of making up one's mind about a course of action. The phrase "strategic decisions" suggests an ongoing process of decision-making within the context of sports strategy, rather than a specific conclusion or judgment that has been reached (which would be sense 2).

The context indicates that these are strategic choices that teams make to gain advantages within the rules. This aligns with sense 1's focus on the act or process of making up one's mind about something, in this case, strategic choices in sports.

So, the best indexed sense for the target word "decisions" in this context is sense 1.

Actually, let me double-check my reasoning. The context discusses strategic decisions in sports, specifically decisions to deliberately get cards to reset card counts. The phrase "strategic decisions" suggests conscious choices made by teams or players.

Sense 1 refers to "the act of making up your mind about something" - this emphasizes the process or action of deciding.
Sense 2 refers to "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" - this emphasizes the result or conclusion of the decision-making process.

In this context, I think both senses could apply, but sense 1 seems more aligned with the concept of strategic decisions as actions or processes of choosing a particular course of action rather than as fixed positions or conclusions. The text is discussing the decisions as active choices made in the context of sports strategy, not as settled opinions or judgments.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit for the target word "decisions" in this context.

Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the <t>rules</t>. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   **Sentence:** "...strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the <t>rules</t>."
    *   **Field:** Sports (specifically, a championship context involving cards, suspensions, sanctions, players, and games).
    *   **Meaning:** The text discusses "legal fraud" vs. "strategic decisions" within a game/sport. It talks about players getting cards, suspensions, and how these are governed by the "rules" of the competition. The "rules" here are the official regulations that define how the sport/competition is played and managed.
    *   **Key phrases:** "game," "championship," "sanction game," "cards," "suspension," "sporting spirit."

2.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**

    *   *Sense 1 (rule%1:09:00::):* "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonyms: regulation). Example: "it was his rule to take a walk...". This is broad and refers to general behavioral guidelines or habits. It *could* apply to regulations, but the examples are weak for the specific sports context.
    *   *Sense 2 (rule%1:09:01::):* "something regarded as a normative example" (synonyms: convention, pattern). Example: "violence is the rule not the exception". This refers to a standard or norm, not the written laws of a game.
    *   *Sense 3 (rule%1:10:00::):* "prescribed guide for conduct or action". Very similar to Sense 1, but distinct in WordNet's hierarchy. Often general.
    *   *Sense 4 (rule%1:10:01::):* "linguistic rule". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 5 (rule%1:09:03::):* "a basic generalization... basis for reasoning". (synonyms: principle). Too abstract/scientific/philosophical.
    *   *Sense 6 (rule%1:28:00::):* "duration of a monarch's... power". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 7 (rule%1:26:00::):* "dominance or power...". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 8 (rule%1:10:02::):* "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". Example: "he knew the rules of chess".
        *   *Analysis:* This matches the context perfectly. The text discusses a game, a championship, cards, and suspensions. The "rules" mentioned are the specific regulations governing the sport (likely football/soccer based on "cards" and "accumulation"). The phrase "allowed by the rules" refers to the exploitation of the sport's regulations.
    *   *Sense 9 (rule%1:10:03::):* "religious order". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 10 (rule%1:09:02::):* "natural phenomenon". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 11 (rule%1:09:04::):* "mathematics". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 12 (rule%1:06:00::):* "measuring stick". Irrelevant.

3.  **Comparison:**
    *   Sense 1 is "regulation" or customarily governs behavior.
    *   Sense 8 is specifically "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted".
    *   The context is explicitly about a "game," "Championship," and "sporting spirit."
    *   Therefore, Sense 8 is the precise fit, whereas Sense 1 is a hypernym or a broader category that fits less specifically.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 8 is the correct choice because the target word refers to the regulations of a sport/game.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "assumption" in this passage.

The context is discussing a strategic decision in sports (specifically about card suspensions in what seems to be soccer/football). Let me look at how "assumption" is used in this context:

"Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

The "assumption" here seems to refer to something that was taken for granted or assumed to be true in the context of the strategic decisions being discussed. Let me analyze each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=assumption%1:10:00:: | definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn
   This sense refers to a premise used for logical reasoning. The context doesn't seem to be discussing a premise from which conclusions are being drawn.

2. sense_key=assumption%1:09:00:: | definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted
   This seems plausible. The text mentions "a certain degree of indetermination" and discusses strategic decisions based on assumed conditions.

3. sense_key=assumption%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something
   This doesn't fit the context at all.

4. sense_key=assumption%1:28:00:: | definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...
   This is a religious sense that doesn't fit the sports context.

5. sense_key=assumption%1:11:00:: | definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul...
   Again, this is a religious sense that doesn't fit.

6. sense_key=assumption%1:07:00:: | definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior...
   This doesn't fit the context.

7. sense_key=assumption%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted
   This could fit, but let me compare it to sense 2.

Between sense 2 and sense 7, sense 2 seems more appropriate for this context. The passage is discussing a hypothesis or understanding that was taken for granted about the strategic advantage of the players' actions. The "assumption" appears to refer to the idea that there's a strategic advantage in how they handled the card suspensions, which they treated as a given hypothesis while making their decisions.

Looking more carefully at sense 1 versus sense 2:
- Sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn"
- Sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted"

In the context, the "assumption" seems to refer to the understanding or hypothesis that there's a strategic advantage in the players' actions regarding card suspensions. This is more like a hypothesis taken for granted (sense 2) rather than a premise used for logical deduction (sense 1).

So I believe sense 2 is the correct choice here.

Actually, let me reconsider. Looking at the example for sense 7: "your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted" - this is about someone taking something for granted, making an assumption without justification.

In the text: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."

This seems to be referring to the act of assuming something, the players' assumption that a certain strategy would work or was appropriate. It's more about the mental act of assuming (sense 7) rather than the hypothesis itself (sense 2).

Let me look at sense 7 again:
"the act of assuming or taking for granted"

And the example: "your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted"

This aligns well with how the word is used in the passage - referring to the players' act of assuming something in making their strategic decision.

Between sense 2 and sense 7:
- Sense 2 refers to the hypothesis itself that is taken for granted
- Sense 7 refers to the act of assuming or taking something for granted

In the context, the word "assumption" appears to refer to what the players took for granted in their strategic decision-making. This seems closer to sense 7, the act of assuming something.

Actually, let me analyze this more carefully. The passage says "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."

This suggests "assumption" refers to something the players assumed or took for granted. What might that be? Based on the context, it could be the assumption that their strategy of strategically timing their suspensions was valid or advantageous.

This sounds like sense 7: "the act of assuming or taking for granted" with the example "your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted."

But it could also be sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" with the example "any society is built upon certain assumptions."

The distinction is subtle, but I think sense 7 fits better because the emphasis seems to be on the players' act of assuming something in their decision-making process, rather than on the hypothesis itself.

So my answer is sense 7.

Actually, let me look one more time. The example for sense 1 is "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play" - this shows "assumption" being used to establish a premise for reasoning.

In the passage, "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..." - here "assumption" is being used to refer to what the players took for granted in their strategic thinking.

I think sense 7 is still the best fit: "the act of assuming or taking for granted" with the example "your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted."

The final answer is sense_index: 7.

The context discusses players avoiding the "application" of a sanction. Let me analyze what "application" means here.

The sentence says: "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"

This refers to the act of applying/enforcing/implementing a sanction or punishment. The sanction exists as a rule or consequence, and "application" here means putting it into effect or enforcing it.

Looking at the senses:

1. sense_key=application%1:04:02:: - "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" - This could work for applying a sanction.

2. sense_key=application%1:10:00:: - "a verbal or written request for assistance or employment or admission to a school" - This doesn't fit at all.

3. sense_key=application%1:04:03:: - "the work of applying something" (coating, covering) - This is about physical application like medicine, not relevant.

4. sense_key=application%1:10:01:: - "a program that gives a computer instructions" - Not relevant.

5. sense_key=application%1:06:00:: - "liquid preparation having a soothing or antiseptic or medicinal action" - Not relevant.

6. sense_key=application%1:04:01:: - "a diligent effort" - Not relevant.

7. sense_key=application%1:04:00:: - "the action of putting something into operation" - This fits perfectly! The examples are "the application of maximum thrust; massage has far-reaching medical applications" - putting something into operation.

The context is about applying/enforcing a sanction. The sanction is a rule or punishment that needs to be "put into operation" - i.e., applied to the players.

Sense 7 (application%1:04:00::) is about "the action of putting something into operation" - this is exactly what applying a sanction means: putting the sanction into operation, enforcing it.

Sense 1 (application%1:04:02::) is about "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" - this could also work, but it's more about using something for a purpose, like "application of statistics to the problem" or "application of electronics to medical diagnosis."

The difference is subtle, but sense 7 seems more appropriate for "application of a sanction" because it's about putting something (a sanction, a rule, a punishment) into operation/enforcement.

Let me reconsider:
- Sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" - examples show using something (statistics, electronics) for a purpose
- Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation" - examples show putting thrust, massage treatment into operation

For "application of the sanction" - this is about putting the sanction into operation, making it effective. Sense 7 seems the best fit.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1 examples: "application of statistics to the problem", "application of electronics to medical diagnosis" - these are about using/applying something to solve a problem or achieve a goal
- Sense 7 examples: "application of maximum thrust", "massage has far-reaching medical applications" - these are about putting something into action/operation

"Application of a sanction" is about putting the sanction into effect/enforcement. This aligns better with sense 7 - the action of putting something into operation.

I'll choose sense 7 (index 7).

Target lemma: case
Target surface form: case
Context:
And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear <t>case</t> of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: *case*
    *   Context snippet: "...this would have been a clear case of legal fraud..."
    *   Full sentence: "The players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

2.  **Analyze the meaning in context:**
    *   The phrase "a clear case of legal fraud" means "an instance/example of legal fraud" or "an occurrence of legal fraud".
    *   It describes a situation where a specific phenomenon (legal fraud) is happening or is identifiable.
    *   It's not a physical object (container, box).
    *   It's not a legal proceeding (lawsuit).
    *   It's not a grammatical category.
    *   It's not a person.
    *   It is an abstract occurrence or instance of a phenomenon.

3.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1:* `case%1:11:00::` | definition=an occurrence of something | synonyms=instance, example | examples=it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday.
        *   Analysis: "a clear case of legal fraud" aligns perfectly with "an occurrence of something" and "it was a case of bad judgment". The structure "a case of [abstract noun]" fits perfectly here.

    *   *Sense 2:* `case%1:26:00::` | definition=a special set of circumstances | synonyms=event | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded; it may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled.
        *   Analysis: This sense usually refers to a situation or condition determining an outcome ("in which case"). While "legal fraud" involves circumstances, the phrase "a case of X" is closer to "an instance of X" (Sense 1) than "a special set of circumstances" (which often functions more like "situation" or "event" in conditional structures).

    *   *Sense 3:* `case%1:04:00::` | definition=the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case.
        *   Analysis: This usually refers to the truth value of a proposition ("Is that the case?"). Not applicable here.

    *   *Sense 4:* `case%1:09:00::` | definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...
        *   Analysis: The context talks about "legal fraud," which sounds legal, but "case" here refers to the instance of fraud itself, not a lawsuit filed in court. It's about the concept of fraud occurring.

    *   *Other senses:* Containers, fonts, grammar, shells, etc. These are clearly unrelated to the abstract noun usage in the text.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 closely:**
    *   Sense 1 ("an occurrence of something", "instance", "example") fits "a case of legal fraud" -> "an instance of legal fraud".
    *   Sense 2 ("a special set of circumstances", "event") often appears in phrases like "in case of fire" or "in that case".
    *   Standard usage: "It was a case of bad judgment" (Sense 1 example). "This would have been a clear case of legal fraud". These are structurally identical.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

5.  **Formulate the output:**
    *   Selected index: 1.
    *   JSON format: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

    *   **Semantic Field:** Sports strategy, decision-making process, choosing a specific path of action.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `decision%1:04:00::` | definition=the act of making up your mind about something | synonyms=determination, conclusion | examples=the burden of decision was his; he drew his conclusions quickly.
        *   *Analysis:* This refers to the *act* or *process* of deciding. "They made a strategic decision" fits well here. They performed the act of deciding to take the sanction. It fits the general concept of making up one's mind regarding a strategy.

    *   **Sense 2:** `decision%1:09:00::` | definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | synonyms=determination, conclusion | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition; his conclusion took the evidence into account.
        *   *Analysis:* This refers to the *result* or the *opinion* held. While a decision was reached, "strategic decision" in this context implies a choice of action rather than just an opinion or judgment. However, the boundary between the act and the result can be thin. Let's look closer. "They made a strategic decision." Did they make a "position or opinion"? Not really. They made a *choice* to act in a certain way.

    *   **Sense 3:** `decision%1:11:02::` | definition=(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred | examples=had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent.
        *   *Analysis:* Specific to boxing/scoring. The context is football (Championship, cards, accumulation), not a boxing decision result. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 4:** `decision%1:11:01::` | definition=the outcome of a game or contest | examples=the team dropped three decisions in a row.
        *   *Analysis:* Refers to a win/loss record. The context is about a specific strategic choice, not the outcome of a match. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 5:** `decision%1:07:00::` | definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | synonyms=decisiveness | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness.
        *   *Analysis:* Refers to a personality trait. The text refers to a specific instance ("a strategic decision"), not a character trait. Incorrect.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on "the act of making up your mind".
    *   Sense 2 focuses on "a position or opinion or judgment reached".
    *   The context says: "They made a strategic decision". The word "made" collocates strongly with the act (Sense 1). "Making a decision" is the process/act of choosing.
    *   Furthermore, the text discusses "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages". This refers to the choices/actions taken. The players "chosen when to obey it". This highlights the *act of choosing/deciding*.
    *   Sense 1's examples ("the burden of decision was his") highlight the weight of the act of choosing.
    *   Sense 2's examples ("a decision unfavorable to the opposition", "his conclusion took the evidence into account") highlight a verdict or a settled opinion.
    *   In sports strategy, a "decision" is a choice of action "They made a strategic decision" = They performed the act of deciding strategically. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

4.  **Final Decision:**
    *   The context describes a calculated choice made by players.
    *   This corresponds to the act of making up their minds about how to handle the sanction rules.
    *   Sense 1 ("the act of making up your mind about something") is the correct fit.

5.  **Format Output:**
    *   JSON object `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
The user wants to determine the correct WordNet sense for the word "decision" in the provided context.

**Context Analysis:**
- The text discusses a sports scenario (Championship, cards, suspension, players, team).
- It talks about a "strategic decision" made by players.
- The text says: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
- The focus is on the *act* of choosing when to obey a sanction to gain an advantage.
- The phrase "strategic decision" implies a process of making a choice or making up one's mind about a course of action.

**Candidate Senses Analysis:**

1.  **sense_index: 1**
    -   **Definition:** the act of making up your mind about something
    -   **Synonyms:** determination, conclusion
    -   **Examples:** "the burden of decision was his", "he drew his conclusions quickly"
    -   **Fit:** This refers to the process or act of deciding. In the context, the players "made a strategic decision". This aligns with the act of choosing a specific course of action (strategically timing their sanction). The phrase "made a ... decision" strongly suggests the act of deciding.

2.  **sense_index: 2**
    -   **Definition:** a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration
    -   **Synonyms:** determination, conclusion
    -   **Examples:** "a decision unfavorable to the opposition", "his conclusion took the evidence into account"
    -   **Fit:** This refers to the *result* or *conclusion* reached (a verdict or judgment). While a strategic decision is a result of thinking, the context focuses on the *action* taken by the players ("They made a strategic decision"). Often, "make a decision" maps to the act (Sense 1) or the result (Sense 2). Let's look closer. Is "strategic decision" a position/opinion? Not really. It's a choice of action. Sense 1 is "the act of making up your mind". Sense 2 is often used for judgments (like a court decision). The context is about a choice of behavior.

3.  **sense_index: 3**
    -   **Definition:** (boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred
    -   **Fit:** Specific to boxing. The context is general sports (Championship, cards), likely football/soccer given the terminology ("cards", "sanction game"). Not a boxing match outcome.

4.  **sense_index: 4**
    -   **Definition:** the outcome of a game or contest
    -   **Examples:** "the team dropped three decisions in a row"
    -   **Fit:** This refers to the result of a match (win/loss). The context uses "decision" to describe the players' choice, not the score of the game.

5.  **sense_index: 5**
    -   **Definition:** the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose
    -   **Synonyms:** decisiveness
    -   **Fit:** This is a personality trait ("a man of unusual decisiveness"). The text talks about a specific instance of deciding, not a character trait.

**Differentiation between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
- Sense 1: The act/process. "He made a decision to leave."
- Sense 2: The conclusion/judgment. "The decision was unanimous." "The court's decision."
- In the text: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
- This describes the act of choosing a strategy. It is an act of volition/choice.
- WordNet often distinguishes between the act (Sense 1:04:00) and the result/judgment (Sense 1:09:00).
- "Strategic decision" implies a course of action chosen. It fits "the act of making up your mind about something" (Sense 1) better than "a position or opinion" (Sense 2), which sounds more like a verdict or a settled opinion.
- Example for Sense 1: "the burden of decision" (the burden of the act of deciding).
- Example for Sense 2: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition" (a judgment/ruling).
- The players making a decision fits the "act of making up your mind" definition.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma**: The word is "law" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   The text discusses sports rules (soccer/football implied by "cards," "suspension," "team," "rounds").
    *   It talks about "legal fraud" vs. "law fraud" (wait, let me look closer at the sentence: "Although the border between the wittiness and the <t>law</t> fraud is diffuse...").
    *   Actually, the sentence says "legal fraud" earlier: "...avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud)..."
    *   Then it says: "Although the border between the wittiness and the <t>law</t> fraud is diffuse..."
    *   This usage "law fraud" seems to be a compound noun phrase where "law" modifies "fraud". It parallels "legal fraud".
    *   Let's look at the definitions provided.
    *   Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority".
    *   Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity".
    *   Sense 3: "a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature..." (Natural Law).
    *   Sense 4: "a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature".
    *   Sense 5: "the branch of philosophy...".
    *   Sense 6: "the learned profession...".
    *   Sense 7: "the force of policemen...".

    The phrase is "law fraud". This is a specific legal concept (or analogous to one in a sports context). "Fraud" here refers to the abuse of the legal system/rules. "Legal fraud" (mentioned earlier) usually refers to a specific legal concept (fraud as defined by law) or an abuse of the legal system (fraud on the power). The phrase "law fraud" is slightly unusual in standard English (usually "legal fraud" or "fraud on the law"), but in this context, "law" acts as an adjective/modifier referring to the *system of rules* or the *body of rules*.

    Context details: The author discusses players getting cards on purpose to reset the cycle before a later stage. This is a strategic manipulation of the rules.
    The text contrasts "wittiness" (smart strategy) with "law fraud" (abuse of the system).
    This refers to the body of rules imposed by authority (the rules of the game, or the general concept of legal rules applied analogously to sports regulations).
    The phrase "law fraud" suggests "fraud against the law" or "fraud involving the law".

    Let's evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority". Synonyms: jurisprudence. Examples: "civilization presupposes respect for the law".
    Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules...". Example: "there is a law against kidnapping". This refers to a specific statute.

    In "law fraud", does "law" refer to a specific document (Sense 2) or the system/collection of rules (Sense 1)?
    Usually, "fraud on the law" or "legal fraud" refers to manipulating the system. The "law" here represents the abstract system of rules.
    However, "law fraud" might be a translation artifact (the text seems translated or written by a non-native speaker: "sanction game", "second cycle of cards", "auto expulsions").
    Let's assume the author means "fraud upon the law" (a legal concept where someone follows the letter of the law but violates the spirit).
    This concept relies on "law" being the system of rules (Sense 1).

    Let's check Sense 2 again. "A legal document". While specific laws exist, "law fraud" as a phrase usually denotes an attitude toward the legal *system* or the *body of rules*, not a specific document.
    The previous sentence mentions: "players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud)...".
    "Legal fraud" in legal theory often maps to "fraud on the law" (fraus legi).
    This aligns with Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority".

    Let's check Sense 3 (Natural law). Not relevant.
    Sense 4 (Scientific law). Not relevant.
    Sense 5 (Jurisprudence/Philosophy). While the text discusses philosophy/ethics ("sporting spirit"), the word "law" in the phrase "law fraud" refers to the object being defrauded/manipulated, which is the set of rules.
    Sense 6 (Profession). Not relevant.
    Sense 7 (Police). Not relevant.

    Decision between Sense 1 and Sense 2.
    Sense 1 is "the law" (abstract, collective "law book", "law firm", "law" usually refers to the field or the system (closer to Sense 1 or 6).
    In "law fraud", the intent is "fraud against the law".
    Sense 1 definition: "the collection of rules imposed by authority".
    Sense "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity".
    The concept of "fraud on the law" (fraus legi) implies using the form of the law to defeat the purpose of the law. It treats "law" as the system/collective body of rules.
    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

    Let's double check Sense 2. Is "law fraud" a specific statute regarding fraud? No, the context implies a strategic behavior that is borderline illegal/unsportsmanlike. It compares "legal fraud" (abusing the system) to "wittiness" (smart play).
    So "law" refers to the body of rules.

    Sense 1 is the standard "the law".
    Context: "...clear case of legal fraud... border between the wittiness and the law fraud..."
    The author uses "law fraud" to refer to the concept of defrauding the system of rules.
    Sense 1 fits "the collection of rules".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "civilization presupposes respect for the law". This uses the definite article, referring to the collective body.
    The target phrase is "the <t>law</t> fraud"? No, the text says "the <t>law</t> fraud".
    Wait, looking at the text provided: "the <t>law</t> fraud".
    Usually, if it were Sense 2 (a specific law), it would be "the fraud law" (a law about fraud) or "a law fraud".
    But the context describes an act of fraud *against* the law/rules.
    "Fraud against the law" -> "Law fraud" (like "wire fraud", "mail fraud" - fraud using wires/mail. Here, fraud using/abusing the law).
    If it were "fraud involving the law", it maps to Sense 1 (the system).

    Let's check Sense 2 again. "legal document". If it were "a law", it would be a specific rule. The text doesn't mention a specific document number or name. It discusses the *concept* of the rules and sanctions.
    The phrase "legal fraud" was used earlier. "Legal" maps to "law".
    "Legal" in "legal fraud" means "related to the law". "Legal" -> of the law.
    "Law" in "law fraud" -> of the law.
    Sense 1: The collection of rules.
    Sense 2: A specific document.
    The text discusses the general manipulation of the sanction system. It refers to the abstract concept of Law (the rules of the game/sport).
    Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    Index 1 corresponds to Sense 1.
