Target lemma: event
Target surface form: event
Context:
In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an <t>event</t>." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "event" in a specific sentence context.
Context sentence: "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an <t>event</t>."
Target word: "event".

Let's analyze the candidate senses:
1. **sense_key=event%1:03:00::**: "something that happens at a given place and time". This is the most general definition of an event.
2. **sense_key=event%1:26:00::**: "a special set of circumstances". Synonyms: "case". Examples: "in that event...", "it may rain in which case...". This sense usually functions as a discourse marker or conditional phrase ("in that event"), often synonymous with "in that case". The target here refers to a specific social gathering ("fund-raising events"), not a set of circumstances in a conditional logic sense.
3. **sense_key=event%1:19:00::**: "a phenomenon located at a single point in space-time...". This is a physics/relativity theory definition. Not applicable here.
4. **sense_key=event%1:19:01::**: "a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon". Synonyms: "consequence, effect, result". Examples: "his decision had depressing consequences". This refers to an outcome. The target refers to a "fund-raising event" (a gathering), not an outcome.

Context analysis:
The text discusses judges attending "fund-raising events".
The specific sentence is: "...featured on the program of such an <t>event</t>."
The phrase "fund-raising events" refers to organized social gatherings or occasions where money is raised.
The target "event" is an anaphoric reference to the "fund-raising events" mentioned earlier in the sentence.
Fund-raising events are "something that happens at a given place and time".
Sense 1 fits this general description of a social gathering/occasion.

Sense 2 ("a special set of circumstances") is often used in the phrase "in that event" or "in any event". Here, "such an event" refers back to a specific type of gathering (fund-raising), not a circumstance or case in a conditional sense.
Sense 3 is physics-specific.
Sense 4 is about consequences/results.

Therefore, the best fit is Sense 1. It covers social gatherings, public occasions, or anything that happens. The context describes an organized gathering.

Decision: Sense1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma**: The target lemma is "proximity".
2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   Sentence: "Nevertheless, the sheer <t>proximity</t> of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists."
    *   Meaning: The sentence discusses the closeness or nearness (in a relational or spatial sense) between Justices Scalia and Thomas and specific law firms/companies. The context highlights a potential conflict of interest due to this "closeness" or association.
    *   Core concept: The state of being near or close to something/someone.
3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses**:
    *   **Sense 1**: `proximity%1:07:00::` | definition="the property of being close together" | synonyms=propinquity.
        *   This refers to the abstract property or state of being close. This fits well with "the proximity of X to Y". It describes the relationship/state of affairs.
    *   **Sense 2**: `proximity%1:15:00::` | definition="the region close around a person or thing".
        *   This refers to an area or spatial zone. Example: "He moved into her proximity." or "The proximity was dangerous."
        *   In the context "the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to...", we are talking about the relationship/state of being close, not a geographical region or zone surrounding them. We are saying "the fact that they were close to X", not "the area around them".
    *   **Sense 3**: `proximity%1:09:00::` | definition="a Gestalt principle of organization..." | synonyms=law of proximity.
        *   This is a specific psychological/scientific term regarding perception. This does not fit the legal/ethical context at all.
4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2**:
    *   Context: "the sheer proximity of A to B".
    *   Sense 1: "property of being close together". This is the standard usage for phrases like "in close proximity to" or "the proximity of X to Y". It denotes the state of nearness.
    *   Sense 2: "the region close around a person or thing". This is a noun denoting a location/area. While related, "the proximity of Scalia and Thomas" usually refers to the *fact* of their closeness, not the physical zone around their bodies. The phrase "proximity to [object]" strongly supports the "property/state" definition (Sense 1) over the "region" definition (Sense 2). If it were Sense 2, it might be phrased as "moving into the proximity of". Here, "sheer proximity" quantifies the extent of the closeness (the property), reinforcing Sense 1.
5.  **Conclusion**: Sense 1 is the correct fit. It describes the state/property of being close, which causes the ethical concern.
6.  **Formulate Output**: The instruction asks for a JSON object with the sense index.
    *   Sense 1 is the first index.
    *   Result: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The text discusses Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Thomas attending a Federalist Society dinner.
    *   It mentions ethics rules, the Code of Conduct, and Canon 4C.
    *   The target sentence is: "Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the <t>case</t>, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists."
    *   Key phrases: "law firms in the case", "company with a massive financial interest", "justices", "court".
    *   This strongly suggests a legal context. "The case" refers to a legal proceeding or lawsuit that these law firms and the company are involved in, and which might come before the Justices.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `case%1:11:00::` | definition=an occurrence of something | synonyms=instance, example. (Too general. "The law firms in the instance/occurrence" doesn't fit well.)
    *   2. `case%1:26:00::` | definition=a special set of circumstances | synonyms=event. (Too general. "The law firms in the event" is possible but imprecise given the strong legal context.)
    *   3. `case%1:04:00::` | definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law whereby an individual seeks a legal remedy | synonyms=lawsuit, suit, cause, causa. (This fits perfectly. "Law firms in the lawsuit/proceeding" is standard legal terminology.)
    *   4. `case%1:09:00::` | definition=the actual state of things. (Incorrect. "The law firms in the actual state of things" makes no sense.)
    *   5. `case%1:06:00::` | definition=a portable container. (Incorrect.)
    *   6. `case%1:18:03::` | definition=a person requiring professional services. (Incorrect.)
    *   7. `case%1:18:02::` | definition=a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures. (Incorrect.)
    *   8. `case%1:10:02::` | definition=a problem requiring investigation. (Close, often used in detective stories like "solving a case", but here we are talking about law firms and a company with a financial interest, which implies a legal dispute/proceeding. While a legal case is a problem requiring investigation of sorts, the specific legal definition is usually distinct in WordNet or falls under the "proceeding" definition. WordNet usually separates "investigation" (detective case) from "lawsuit" (legal proceeding). Let's check the definitions again. Sense 3 is "proceeding in a court of law". Sense 8 is "problem requiring investigation". The context mentions "justices", "ethics rules", "court", "law firms". This is definitely a legal proceeding, making Sense 3 the superior fit.)
    *   9. `case%1:10:01::` | definition=a statement of facts and reasons used to support an argument. (Incorrect. "The law firms in the argument" doesn't fit.)
    *   10-20. (Various physical objects, grammatical terms, container quantities, etc. - all incorrect.)

3.  **Refine the choice between Sense 3 and Sense 8:**
    *   Sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law..." -> Synonyms: lawsuit, suit.
    *   Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation" -> Example: "Perry Mason solved the case..."
    *   In the text, we have "law firms in the case" and "justices". Justices preside over court proceedings. Law firms represent clients in lawsuits. The mention of "Canon 4C" regarding judges confirms the judicial context.
    *   Therefore, "case" refers to the legal action/lawsuit.
    *   Sense 3 is the standard definition for a legal case/lawsuit.

4.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.

5.  **Formatting:** Return JSON `{"sense_index": 3}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The sentence is: "Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial *interest*, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists."
    *   Key phrases: "law firms in the case", "company", "massive financial interest".
    *   The context discusses legal ethics, judges, and companies involved in a case. The company has a "financial interest" in the outcome of the legal case. This implies a stake, a right, or a financial stake in the proceedings or the subject matter.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" (synonyms: involvement). This is an internal mental state (e.g., interest in music). While a company might be "interested" (curious), the adjective "financial" strongly points away from curiosity. "Financial curiosity" doesn't fit well.
    *   **Sense 2:** "a reason for wanting something done" (synonyms: sake). e.g., "for your sake". This doesn't fit "massive financial sake" or "company with a financial sake".
    *   **Sense 3:** "the power of attracting or holding one's attention" (synonyms: interestingness). This refers to how interesting something is. "Massive financial interestingness" is nonsensical.
    *   **Sense 4:** "a fixed charge for borrowing money". This is the banking definition (interest rates). A company might pay interest, but in a legal case context involving "proximity" to judges and ethics concerns, it's usually about having a stake in the outcome, not paying a bank fee.
    *   **Sense 5:** "(law) a right or legal share of something; a financial involvement with something" (synonyms: stake). Examples: "a stake in the company's future".
        *   The phrase "financial interest" is a standard legal term.
        *   The context involves a "company" involved in a "case".
        *   The definition explicitly mentions "(law)" and "financial involvement".
        *   "Stake" fits perfectly: "a company with a massive financial stake".
    *   **Sense 6:** "(usually plural) a social group whose members control some field of activity". (synonyms: interest group). The text uses the singular "interest", and it refers to a specific company's holding/stake, not a political pressure group.
    *   **Sense 7:** "a diversion that occupies one's time and thoughts". (synonyms: pastime). Clearly incorrect.

3.  **Match Context to Best Sense:**
    *   The phrase "financial interest" is a collocation almost exclusively associated with Sense 5 (a stake, legal share, or involvement).
    *   The context is explicitly legal ("justices", "ethics rules", "case", "law firms").
    *   Sense 5's definition mentions "(law)" and "financial involvement".

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 5 is the correct choice.

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

If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning <t>breach</t> of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: `breach`
    *   Target surface form: `breach`
    *   Context sentence: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims..."
    *   The phrase is "breach of ethics". The context discusses judges attending events where they shouldn't be (or arguably shouldn't be) due to conflicts of interest. It refers to a failure to adhere to standards or rules.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `breach%1:04:01::` | definition=a failure to perform some promised act or obligation.
        *   This is the abstract sense of "breach" often used with contracts, promises, or duties (e.g., "breach of contract", "breach of duty", "breach of ethics").
    *   **Sense 2:** `breach%1:17:00::` | definition=an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification).
        *   This is the physical sense (e.g., "breach in the wall", "breach in the hull"). It's metaphorical in origin but refers to a hole or gap.
    *   **Sense 3:** `breach%1:11:00::` | definition=a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions) | synonyms=rupture, break, severance, rift, falling out.
        *   This refers to a break in relations between people or groups (e.g., "heal the breach between the two families").

3.  **Evaluate senses against context:**
    *   The phrase is "breach of ethics".
    *   Does it mean a hole in the ethics? No, that doesn't make sense.
    *   Does it mean a social separation? No, the context is about the justices failing to follow ethical standards, not about a falling out between them and someone else (though there might be tension, the "breach" refers to the violation of the code).
    *   Does it mean a failure to perform an obligation or act according to rules? Yes. Ethics in this context refers to a code of conduct. A "breach of ethics" is a violation or failure to adhere to that code.

4.  **Refine the choice:**
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition for "breach of ethics" or "breach of contract". It captures the meaning of violation or failure to observe a law/obligation.
    *   The definition "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation" fits "breach of ethics" if we view ethics as an obligation of conduct.

5.  **Select the index:**
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

6.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user requested a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   The chosen sense is Sense 1.

1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses a controversy involving Justices Scalia and Thomas attending a Federalist Society fundraiser while having connections to law firms involved in cases before the court.
    *   Bob Edgar (president of Common Cause) is quoted saying: "This stunning breach of ethics and <t>indifference</t> to the code belies claims..."
    *   The target word "indifference" is used in the phrase "indifference to the code".
    *   The context is critical: It's about someone breaking rules or ignoring norms. It implies a disregard for the rules, a lack of concern for following them, or a casual attitude towards ethical constraints.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `unbiased impartial unconcern`.
        *   This sense usually refers to a neutral state, often in philosophical or abstract contexts (e.g., "with indifference to the outcome"). It suggests a lack of bias. Here, the speaker is criticizing the justices. They aren't being "impartial" in a positive sense; they are being negligent or dismissive of the rules. This doesn't fit the negative tone or the specific act of disregarding a code of conduct.

    *   **Sense 2:** `apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions`.
        *   Synonyms: emotionlessness, impassivity.
        *   This refers to a psychological state of not feeling emotions. The justices aren't being accused of being emotionless robots; they are being accused of disregarding ethical rules. This is not the right fit.

    *   **Sense 3:** `the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally`.
        *   Synonyms: apathy, numbness, spiritlessness.
        *   This is a general personality trait of depression or lack of motivation. Again, the criticism is specific to their attitude toward the *code*, not a general malaise or lack of enthusiasm for life.

    *   **Sense 4:** `the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern`.
        *   Synonyms: nonchalance, unconcern.
        *   This sense captures the idea of "not caring" or a "lack of concern" specifically regarding a situation or object (in this case, the code of conduct). The phrase "indifference to the code" aligns perfectly with "a casual lack of concern" or "unconcern" regarding the rules. The context highlights that they acted as if the rules didn't apply to them (exempt from Code of Conduct), showing a lack of concern for the ethical standards others follow.

3.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Context: "indifference to the code".
    *   Meaning: Disregard, unconcern, nonchalance regarding the rules.
    *   Sense 4 definition: "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern".
    *   Sense 4 synonyms: "nonchalance, unconcern".
    *   Comparison: Sense 4 matches the "lack of concern" aspect perfectly. Sense 1 is too neutral/positive ("unbiased"). Sense 2 is about emotion. Sense 3 is about general interest/enthusiasm.

    *   Therefore, Sense 4 is the correct choice.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "claim" is being used:

The context is about Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas) attending Federalist Society events, which some see as an ethical concern. The specific sentence is:

"This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges"

Here, "claims" refers to statements or assertions made by justices about the court following the same rules as other federal judges. The justices are asserting something to be true (that the court abides by certain rules), and the sentence is saying that the ethics breach contradicts these assertions.

Let's look at each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=claim%1:10:00:: | definition=an assertion of a right (as to money or property) | examples=his claim asked for damages
   - This refers to asserting a right to something like money or property. Not applicable here.

2. sense_key=claim%1:10:02:: | definition=an assertion that something is true or factual | examples=his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims
   - This refers to stating that something is true or factual, like claiming innocence. The example "evidence contradicted the government's claims" is very similar to our context where the breach "belies claims by several justices." This seems like a good match.

3. sense_key=claim%1:04:00:: | definition=demand for something as rightful or due | examples=they struck in support of their claim for a shorter work day
   - This refers to demanding something as a right. Not applicable here.

4. sense_key=claim%1:07:02:: | definition=an informal right to something | synonyms=title | examples=his claim on her attentions; his title to fame
   - This refers to having an informal right or title to something. Not applicable here.

5. sense_key=claim%1:07:01:: | definition=an established or recognized right | synonyms=title | examples=a strong legal claim to the property; he had no documents confirming his title to his father's estate
   - This refers to having a legal right or title to something. Not applicable here.

6. sense_key=claim%1:10:01:: | definition=a demand especially in the phrase | synonyms=call | examples=the call of duty
   - This refers to a demand or call. Not applicable here.

The best match is sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual." The context shows justices making assertions about following ethical rules, and these assertions are being contradicted by the ethicsbreach.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "justice"
    *   Target surface form: "justices" (plural).
    *   Context sentence: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several <t>justices</t> that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar...
    *   Broader context: The text discusses Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas mentioned earlier) attending events, ethics rules, and comparing them to "lower federal justices" (likely meaning judges) and "federal judges". The sentence mentions "several justices that the court abides...".

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "the quality of being just or fair" (Abstract concept). The text uses the plural form "justices". Abstract qualities are usually uncountable or don't refer to people. This doesn't fit the plural form referring to specific individuals.
    *   Sense 2: "judgment involved in the determination of rights..." (Abstract concept/process). Again, the text uses the plural form "justices" referring to entities making claims. This doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3: "a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice" (Person/Role). Synonyms: judge, jurist. The text refers to "the two justices" (Scalia and Thomas), "several justices", and compares them to "federal judges". This fits perfectly. The word refers to the human holders of the office, specifically Supreme Court justices in this context, which falls under the general definition of a public official authorized to decide questions in court.
    *   Sense 4: "the United States federal department..." (Organization). Synonyms: Department of Justice. The text refers to individuals ("justices" claiming something). An organization cannot make a claim in the same grammatical structure here ("claims by several justices"). Also, the context distinguishes "justices" from "judges".

3.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   The target word "justices" refers to people holding the title of Justice (specifically Supreme Court Justices based on the names Scalia and Thomas).
    *   Sense 3 defines a "justice" as a public official authorized to decide questions in court (synonyms: judge, jurist).
    *   This matches the usage in the text perfectly.

4.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user requested a JSON object: `{"sense_index": X}`.

The context is about justices (Supreme Court justices), attending Federalist Society events, ethics rules, and a law firm having pending cases before the court.

Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" - synonyms: tribunal, judicature
Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" - synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice

Both sense 1 and sense 8 seem relevant. Let me distinguish:
- Sense 1 seems more about the body/institution of judges as an assembly
- Sense 8 seems more about the formal tribunal/court of law

The context mentions "the court" as an institution that justices belong to, and cases pending "before the court." This is referring to the Supreme Court as an institution - an assembly of judges conducting judicial business.

Sense 1 (court%1:14:00::) focuses on the assembly of judges to conduct judicial business, which fits well with the context about justices as a collective body.

Sense 8 (court%1:06:05::) focuses more on the tribunal that administers justice according to laws - a court of law.

The context talks about "the court" as the body that justices belong to, and the institution before which attorneys have pending cases. This is the court as an assembly/institution.

I think sense 1 is the best fit - it's about the assembly of judges conducting judicial business, which matches the context of the Supreme Court as an institution.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 8 is more specifically about a tribunal that administers justice according to laws (court of law, court of justice). The context is clearly about a court of law where cases are heard.

Both could work, but sense 1 emphasizes the "assembly" aspect which fits well with the collective body of justices being discussed. However, sense 8 is more specifically about a court of law where justice is administered.

The key phrase is "pending cases before the court" - this is about a court of law/tribunal that hears cases. Sense 8 with synonyms like "court of law" and "court of justice" seems more specific to this legal context.

But sense 1 also works because it's about "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business."

Let me look at the hierarchy:
- Sense 1 (court%1:14:00::) is in class 1:14 (group)
- Sense 8 (court%1:06:05::) is in class 1:06 (location/room)

Wait, sense 8 is in class 1:06 which is typically about locations/rooms, but the definition mentions "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" - this seems more like an institution than a location.

Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet structure:
- 1:14 is typically for groups/assemblies
- 1:06 is typically for locations

Sense 1 (1:14:00) is about the court as an assembly/group of judges
Sense 8 (1:06:05) is about the court as a tribunal/institution that administers justice

The context refers to "the court" as the institution before which attorneys have pending cases. This is the court in its legal capacity as a tribunal that administers justice.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because:
1. It emphasizes the assembly aspect - the justices collectively
2. The context is about the justices as a group ("the court abides by the same rules")
3. Cases "before the court" means before the assembly of judges

Actually, both senses are very close. Let me consider which one is more appropriate for this context.

"The court abides by the same rules" - this refers to the court as an institution
"Attorneys who have pending cases before the court" - this refers to the court as a legal body that hears cases

I'll go with sense 1 because it captures the court as an assembly of judges (justices) conducting judicial business, which matches the context where the focus is on the collective body of justices and their conduct.

Wait, but sense 8's definition "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" with synonyms "lawcourt, court of law, court of justice" seems even more specific to the legal/judicial context.

Let me re-read the context: "the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case" and "attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

This is clearly about a court of law where cases are heard. Sense 8 with its legal connotations seems more appropriate.

But sense 1 is also about conducting judicial business, which is essentially the same thing.

The distinction might be subtle, but I think sense 1 is the more general/primary sense for court as a judicial body, while sense 8 might be more about the specific location or setting.

Actually, I need to look at this differently. The 1:06 class in WordNet is for "location" or "spatial property" senses. Sense 8 (1:06:05) despite its definition, might be categorized under location because it can refer to the court as a place where justice is administered.

But the context is using "court" to refer to the judicial institution, not a physical location. So sense 1 (1:14:00) which is categorized under "group" seems more appropriate.

I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, let me reconsider one more time. Looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
- 1:14 is "group"
- 1:06 is "location"

Sense 1: court as an assembly (group) of judges - this is about the people/institution
Sense 8: court as a tribunal (location?) - but its definition is about a tribunal that administers justice

In common usage, "the court" in this context refers to the judicial institution/body, not a physical location. The Supreme Court is an institution.

Sense 1 captures this institutional aspect better as an "assembly of judges to conduct judicial business."

I'll choose sense 1.

Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same <t>rules</t> that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

1.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   Target word: "rules" (plural noun).
    *   Sentence: "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court," said Bob Edgar... "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same <t>rules</t> that apply to all other federal judges,"...
    *   Topic: Legal ethics, judicial conduct, Federalist Society events, Code of Conduct.
    *   Meaning: The text discusses specific regulations or guidelines governing the behavior of judges (ethics rules, Code of Conduct). The justices are claiming they follow the same regulations as other judges.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses**:

    *   **Sense 1**: `rule%1:09:00::` | Definition: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | Synonyms: regulation | Examples: it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation.
        *   *Evaluation*: Fits well. "Ethics rules" are regulations governing behavior.

    *   **Sense 2**: `rule%1:09:01::` | Definition: something regarded as a normative example | Synonyms: convention, normal, pattern, formula | Examples: violence is the rule not the exception.
        *   *Evaluation*: Incorrect. This refers to what is "normal" or "standard," not a codified set of laws/regulations.

    *   **Sense 3**: `rule%1:10:00::` | Definition: prescribed guide for conduct or action | Synonyms: prescript.
        *   *Evaluation*: Also fits very well. Ethics rules are prescribed guides for conduct.

    *   **Sense 4**: `rule%1:10:01::` | Definition: (linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice.
        *   *Evaluation*: Incorrect context (legal/judicial, not linguistics).

    *   **Sense 5**: `rule%1:09:03::` | Definition: a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | Synonyms: principle.
        *   *Evaluation*: Close, but usually "ethics rules" refers to specific codified regulations rather than abstract generalizations or truths. However, Sense 1 is "customarily governs behavior," Sense 3 is "prescribed guide."

    *   **Sense 6**: `rule%1:28:00::` | Definition: the duration of a monarch's or government's power.
        *   *Evaluation*: Incorrect.

        *   *Evaluation*: Incorrect.

3.  **Narrowing down between Sense 1 and Sense 3**:

    *   *Sense 1*: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior." Synonyms: regulation. Examples: "short haircuts were the regulation."
    *   *Sense 3*: "prescribed guide for conduct or action." Synonyms: prescript.

    Let's look at the nuances. The text refers to "ethics rules," "Code of Conduct," and "federal judges."
    The context is legal/administrative rules.
    In WordNet 3.0/3.1:
    Sense 1 (1:09:00) is often associated with "regulation." "Ethics rules" are indeed regulations.
    Sense 3 (1:10:00) is "prescribed guide for conduct or action."

    Let's check the hierarchy.
    1:09:00 usually maps to `rule.n.01` in the Princeton core (principle/condition that customarily governs behavior).
    1:10:00 usually maps to `rule.n.02` (prescribed guide for conduct or action).

    Often, legal or administrative rules fall under Sense 1 (regulation). "Ethics rules" are regulations.
    However, Sense 3 (prescribed guide for conduct) is arguably a better definition for a Code of Conduct.
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk...", "short haircuts were the regulation". These imply general habits or social regulations.
    Let's look at the definition of Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action." This fits "Code of Conduct" and "ethics rules" perfectly.

    Wait, let's re-examine the mapping.
    Usually, `rule%1:10:00` (Sense 3 in this list) corresponds to the specific, explicit rules like laws or codes.
    `rule%1:09:00` (Sense 1) is "principle or condition that *customarily* governs behavior". The word "customarily" suggests habit or tradition slightly more than a written code.
    `rule%1:10:00` (Sense 3) "prescribed guide for conduct". "Prescribed" implies written down, official (like the Code of Conduct).

    Let's check the synonyms.
    Sense 1: regulation. "Ethics regulations" is a valid phrase.
    Sense 3: prescript. "Ethics prescripts" is less common but semantically accurate.

    Let's look at WordNet (Princeton) structure directly if possible.
    `rule` (n)
    1. rule, regulation -- (a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior; "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast"; "short haircuts were the regulation")
    2. rule, prescript -- (prescribed guide for conduct or action)
    3. rule, linguistic rule -- ((linguistics) a rule describing...)
    ...

    Wait, the indexing in the prompt lists:
    1:09:00 -> Sense 1
    1:10:00 -> Sense 3

    The text says: "abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges". These are statutory or administrative regulations. They are prescribed.
    Sense 1 definition mentions "customarily". While laws "customarily" govern behavior, the defining feature of the Code of Conduct is that it is *prescribed*.
    Sense 3 definition: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    This matches the "Code of Conduct" context perfectly.

    Let's look at the hyponyms of Sense 1 (1:09:00). Often includes things like "golden rule", "byrule".
    Let's look at hyponyms of Sense 3 (1:10:00). Often includes "canon", "law", "ordinance", "regulation" (sometimes these are related).
    Actually, in standard WordNet, `rule.n.01` (Sense 1) has hyponyms like *golden rule, byrule, restriction, summation rule*.
    `rule.n.02` (Sense 3) has hyponyms like *canon, law, ordinance, prescription, protocol, tenet*.

    "Ethics rules" in a federal context are often called "canons" (Code of Conduct Canons are mentioned in the text: "code's Canon 4C").
    Since "Canon" is a hyponym of Sense 3 (1:10:00), and the text explicitly mentions "Canon 4C", Sense 3 is the correct choice. The text refers to a "Code of Conduct" which contains "Canons". These are prescribed guides for conduct.

    Therefore, Sense 3 (index 3) is the best fit.

    Let's double check Sense 1.
    Sense 1 definition: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    Sense 3 definition: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    The context is a "Code of Conduct" and "Canon 4C".
    "Prescribed" fits "Code" better than "customarily governs".
    Also, Sense 3 (prescript) captures the prescriptive nature of legal/ethical codes.

    One potential point of confusion: Is "ethics rules" considered a regulation (Sense 1 synonym)?
    WordNet sense 1 synonym is "regulation".
    WordNet sense 3 synonym is "prescript".
    However, the *definition* of Sense 3 ("prescribed guide for conduct") is semantically closer to a Code of Conduct than "condition that customarily governs behavior" (Sense 1), which can imply custom/habit (as seen in the "walk before breakfast" example).
    The mention of "Canon" strongly points to Sense 3 (Code/Canon hierarchy).

    Let's confirm the index.
    Sense 1: 1:09:00
    Sense 2: 1:09:01
    Sense 3: 1:10:00

    I will select index 3.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "president"
    *   Target surface form: " organization, often non-profit, but functioning similarly to a corporation in structure.

    *   *Sense 2:* "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government".
        *   Synonyms: President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive.
        *   Context check: Bob Edgar is the person mentioned. He is definitely not the head of state of the US government. He is speaking *about* justices. This *Sense 3:* "the chief executive of a republic".
        *   Context check: Similar to Sense 2, but broader (any republic). Bob Edgar is not a head of state. This is incorrect.

    *   *Sense 4:* "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization".
        *   Synonyms: chairman, chairwoman, chair, chairperson.
        *   Context check: While a president *can* preside over meetings, "Common Cause" is a large advocacy group. The title "president" usually denotes the chief executive officer or top leader of such an organization, rather than just a presiding officer (which maps more to 'chair'). However, WordNet definitions can overlap. Let's look at Sense 1 again.

    *   *Sense 5:* "the head administrative officer of a college or university".
        *   Synonyms: prexy.
        *   Context check: Common Cause is not a college or university. This is incorrect.

    *   *Sense 6:* "the office of the United States head of state".
        *   This refers to the position/office itself, not the person. The context refers to Bob Edgar, a person ("the president of Common Cause"). This is incorrect.

3.  **Disambiguate between Sense 1 and Sense 4:**

    *   *Sense 1:* "an executive officer of 4:* "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization".

    Common Cause is a non-profit advocacy organization. In organizational structures, the "President" is typically the chief executive officer (CEO) or the top operational leader.
    Sense 4 implies a role akin to a "Chairperson"—someone presiding over meetings. While presidents preside, the primary definition of a president of an organization like Common the executive head/leader.
    Sense 1 is generally used for "firm or corporation". Common Cause is an organization.
    Let's look at the distinction in WordNet usage.
    Sense 1 often covers the head of a company.
    Sense 4 covers the head of an organization (often societies, clubs, etc.), synonymous with chair.
    However, for a major non-profit like Common Cause, "President" is usually the executive head. Is "Common Cause" a "firm or corporation"? It is a corporation (non-profit corporation).
    Let's look at the example for Sense 4: "address your remarks to the chairperson". This suggests a meeting-specific role.
    Let's look at the lack of example for Sense 1 (schematic).

    Usually, when referring to the "President of [Organization Name]", it refers to the top executive leader.
    Is Bob Edgar the "executive officer of a firm or corporation" (Sense 1)? Or the "officer who presides at meetings" (Sense 4)?
    Bob Edgar was the CEO/President of Common Cause. He was the head of the organization.
    Sense 1 is list for Sense 4 (chairman, chairwoman, etc.) strongly suggests a specific functional role of *presiding*, which is distinct from the title "President" in the context of being the head of an advocacy group.
    However, WordNet hierarchy can be tricky. Often, "President of an organization" is mapped to Sense 1 in many WSD datasets if the organization is treated as a corporate entity, or Sense 4 if it's treated as a group/club.
    Common Cause is a large organization.
    Let's check standard annotations for "President of [Org]".
    If the organization is a company, it's Sense 1.
    If it's a society or club, it might be Sense 4.
    Common Cause is a "citizens' lobbying group".
    Sense 4: "officer who presides at the meetings of an organization".
    Sense 1: "executive officer of a firm or corporation".

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1. Does "firm or corporation" cover non-profit organizations? Yes, usually incorporated non-profits are treated as corporations in WordNet contexts.
    Let's re-evaluate Sense 4. The synonyms "chairman, chairwoman, chair, as a strong constraint here. If the synonyms for Sense 4 are strictly "chair", then a "President" (who is distinct from the Chair) is not Sense 4.
    In Common Cause, there is often a Board Chair and a President. Bob Edgar was the President (CEO role). He was not the Board Chair. Therefore, he is not the person presiding over the board meetings (which the Board Chair does). He runs the organization.
    Therefore, he fits the "executive officer" role better than the "presiding officer" role.
    Consequently, Sense 1 is the better fit despite the gloss saying "firm or corporation" (which implies business, but the functional role matches the executive leader).

    Let's check if there's a broader sense. No.
    Sense 1 is the closest fit for the head of an incorporated entity who acts as the executive leader.
    Sense 4 is ruled out because of the "chairperson" synonym constraint and the functional description of "presiding at meetings". While a president *presides*, the synonyms define the distinct sense WordNet is trying to capture with Sense 4 (the chair role).

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice. It captures the "Chief Executive/Top Leader" aspect of the title within an organization.

    Wait, let me double-check typical    In SemCor/ONTONOTES:
    "President of the United States" -> Sense 2.
    "President of the bank" -> Sense 1.
    "President of the club" -> Sense 4?

    Common Cause is a large non-profit corporation. Bob Edgar is the CEO-equivalent.
    Sense 1: "executive officer of a firm or corporation".
    Sense 4: "officer who presides at the meetings...".
    The gloss for Sense 1 ("firm or corporation") is slightly narrow for a non-profit, but the semantic class "Head of Organization" fits best here compared to the "Chair/Presider" class of Sense 4.
    Most WSD systems would map "President of [Organization]" to Sense 1 unless the context specifically highlights the act of presiding over a meeting (Sense 4) or it is a head of state (Sense 2/3).

    Conclusion: Sense 1.

    Let's verify Sense 3: "chief executive of a republic". No, Common Cause is not a republic.
    Let's verify Sense 5: "head administrative officer of a college". No.

    Comparison of 1 vs 4:
    Gloss 1: executive officer of a firm or corporation.
    Gloss 4: officer who presides at the meetings of an organization.

    Bob Edgar was the President and CEO of Common Cause. He managed the organization. He did not just preside over meetings (which implies a Chair role).
    Therefore, the functional role aligns with Sense 1 (Executive). Even though Common Cause isn't a "firm" (business), it is a corporation, and "executive officer" is the correct descriptor.

    Decision: Sense 1.

Target lemma: fundraiser
Target surface form: fundraiser
Context:
And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie <t>fundraiser</t> with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses a "black-tie fundraiser" where justices were "wining and dining" and there was "fundraising for this event." This clearly refers to a social event (a social function) rather than a person who solicits contributions. The phrase "at a black-tie fundraiser" and "wining and dining at" indicate a social function/gala, not a person.

Sense 2: "a social function that is held for the purpose of raising money" fits perfectly.

Sense 1: "someone who solicits financial contributions" would refer to a person, which doesn't fit the context of "at a black-tie fundraiser."
