Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two <t>players</t> of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The text discusses "Sport and fraud law".
    *   It mentions specific people: "Alonso and Ramos", "Real Madrid", "Ajax", "European Champions League".
    *   It describes actions: "expulsion", "game", "yellow card", "referee", "wasted time".
    *   The target word "players" refers to Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, who are athletes participating in a football (soccer) match.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   *Sense 1:* "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" | synonyms=participant. This fits perfectly with athletes in a sport (which is a game). Football players participate in a game.
    *   *Sense 2:* "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)". Incorrect context (not a concert).
    *   *Sense 3:* "a theatrical performer". Incorrect context (not a play/theater).
    *   *Sense 4:* "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously". Incorrect context (slang usage, not supported by the text).
    *   *Sense 5:* "an important participant (as in a business deal)". Incorrect context (business metaphor, not the literal sports context here).

3.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   The context explicitly talks about a "game" (European Champions League match), "referee", "yellow card".
    *   Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos are professional football players.
    *   Sense 1 defines a player as a participant in a game.

4.  **Format the output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 3}`.
    *   Since Sense 1 is the correct one, the index is 1.

5.  **Final check:**
    *   Target: "players".
    *   Context: Football match.
    *   Sense 1 definition: person participating in a game.
    *   Match: Exact.

    Output: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form:** The target is "game" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   "The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid... in the **game** played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League..."
    *   "...a few minutes before the end of the **game** (that their team had already won)..."
    *   The context is clearly about a specific sporting event (a football/soccer match) between Real Madrid and Ajax in the Champions League. It mentions players, referees, cards, and winning the match.
3.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `game%1:04:00::` - "a contest with rules to determine a winner". This refers to the abstract concept of the activity/game itself. Example: "you need four people to play this game".
    *   Sense 2: `game%1:04:03::` - "a single play of a sport or other contest". Example: "the game lasted two hours". This refers to a specific instance or occurrence of the contest.
    *   Sense 3: `game%1:04:01::` - "an amusement or pastime". Too general/playful, not specific to a competitive sports match instance.
    *   Sense 4: `game%1:05:00::` - "animal hunted for food or sport". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 5: `game%1:28:00::` - "(tennis) a division of play...". Irrelevant context (football).
    *   Sense 6: `game%1:23:00::` - "the score...". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 7: `game%1:13:00::` - "flesh of wild animals". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 8: `game%1:09:00::` - "a secret scheme...". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 9: `game%1:06:00::` - "game equipment...". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 10: `game%1:04:02::` - "your occupation...". Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 11: `game%1:04:04::` - "frivolous behavior...". Irrelevant.

4.  **Distinguish between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 defines the activity ("a contest with rules..."). If I say "Soccer is a game", I use Sense 1.
    *   Sense 2 defines a specific instance/occurrence ("a single play of a sport..."). If I say "Did you watch the game last night?", I use Sense 2.
    *   The context says: "...in the game played on the 23rd of November..." and "...end of the game...".
    *   It refers to a specific match/event that took place on a specific date, lasting a specific duration, involving specific actions (expulsions).
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport"). The example "the game lasted two hours" matches the usage "the game played on the 23rd".

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2 is the correct choice because the text refers to a specific instance of a sporting contest (a match), not the abstract concept of the game itself.

6.  **Formatting:** The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   The index corresponds to the numbered list provided in the prompt.
    *   Sense 2 is the second item.

    Let's double check the numbering in the prompt:
    1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: ...
    2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: ... -> This is the target.

    Output: `{"sense_index": 2}`.

Candidate senses:

2. sense_key=ink%1:08:00:: | definition=dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish and other cephalopods

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   The context discusses a football (soccer) incident involving Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos deliberately getting red-carded (expulsion) against Ajax.
    *   The specific phrase is "rivers of <t>ink</t> to be written".
    *   The phrase "rivers of ink" is a metaphorical idiom (often translated literally from Spanish "ríos de tinta" or similar idioms in other languages, meaning a lot of media coverage, articles, debate, or discussion).
    *   The context mentions articles being written ("ink to be written") discussing whether the behavior is unsportsmanlike.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses**:
    *   Sense 1: `ink%1:27:01::` | definition="a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing".
        *   This is the standard, literal definition of ink.
        *   In the phrase "rivers of ink to be written", it refers to the ink used in printing newspapers, magazines, or online publishing (metaphorically extending to the content produced).
        *   The idiom suggests a massive amount of writing/publication.
    *   Sense 2: `ink%1:08:00::` | definition="dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish and other cephalopods".
        *   This refers to biological defense mechanisms (squid ink).
        *   This is completely irrelevant to a football match debate in the media.

3.  **Determine the Best Fit**:
    *   The text talks about media coverage and written debate.
    *   "Rivers of ink" is an idiom relying on the concept of writing/printing (Sense 1).
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

4.  **Format the Output**:
    *   The user wants a JSON object like `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   Since I selected Sense 1, the index is 1.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement*: The prompt asks for "indexed sense". The candidates are numbered 1 and 2. I need to map the definition to the number.
    Candidate 1: writing/printing liquid.
    Candidate 2: cephalopod fluid.
    Context: "rivers of ink to be written".
    Selection: Candidate 1.

    Final Output: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: behavior (noun).
    *   Context: The text discusses football (soccer) players (Alonso and Ramos) getting deliberate yellow cards (expulsion) to manipulate a suspension timeline. The sentence in question is: "...has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike..."
    *   The context focuses on human actions, specifically how these players acted during a match (deliberately wasting time to get a card). It questions the morality or appropriateness of their actions (unsportsmanlike).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `behavior%1:04:00::`
        *   Definition: "manner of acting or controlling yourself"
        *   Synonyms: behaviour, conduct, doings
        *   Analysis: This refers to general action or conduct. It fits well. The players acted in a specific way (getting expelled).

    *   **Sense 2:** `behavior%1:26:00::`
        *   Definition: "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances"
        *   Example: "the behavior of small particles..."
        *   Analysis: This is usually used for physics, chemistry, or mechanics (how a machine behaves). It is not about human moral action. Incorrect.

    *   **Sense 3:** `behavior%1:07:00::`
        *   Definition: "(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people"
        *   Synonyms: demeanor, demeanour, behaviour, conduct, deportment
        *   Analysis: This focuses on *interpersonal* relations ("toward other people"). While the players' actions affect others, the context is about their specific actions (tricks, wasting time) in a game scenario, often framed as "conduct" or "sportsmanship" rather than general demeanor *towards* other people in a social sense. Demeanor implies bearing or manner (posture, attitude). The context is about specific actions (wasting time) to achieve a result (sanction reset).

    *   **Sense 4:** `behavior%1:04:01::`
        *   Definition: "(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation"
        *   Analysis: This is a technical psychological sense. The context is sports law/journalism, not a clinical psychological study. Incorrect.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1 (manner of acting/conduct): This is the broad sense of "behavior" as "what someone does".
    *   Sense 3 (way a person behaves toward other people): This is specifically interpersonal behavior (demeanor, deportment).
    *   The text discusses "unsportsmanlike behavior". "Unsportsmanlike conduct" is a standard phrase in sports. The question is whether their actions (tricks, wasting time) constitute bad behavior.
    *   Sense 1 covers "manner of acting". Getting a yellow card on purpose is a manner of acting.
    *   Sense 3 focuses on "behavioral attributes" and "toward other people". While sportsmanship involves how you treat opponents, the specific behavior here (getting a card for tactical advantage) is often categorized under general "conduct" (Sense 1 synonyms include "conduct").
    *   Sense 3 synonyms (demeanor, deportment) suggest how one carries oneself (posture, attitude). The text discusses specific actions (tricks, wasting time).
    *   Sense 1 synonyms (conduct, doings) fit better with specific actions like wasting time or getting a card. The text describes specific actions ("wasted time", "made the referee show...").
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 ("manner of acting") is the best fit for general human actions and conduct within a specific situation, without the interpersonal focus of Sense 3 or the technical focus of Sense 4.

4.  **Select the index:**
    *   The best definition is "manner of acting or controlling yourself".
    *   This corresponds to sense 1.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 1: "manner of acting..." Synonyms: conduct.
    Sense 3: "way a person behaves toward other people" Synonyms: demeanor.
    The context asks if the *actions* (tricks, time-wasting) are unsportsmanlike. While unsportsmanlike implies bad treatment of the sport/opponent, the word "behavior" here refers to the specific actions taken by the players. "Conduct" is a synonym for Sense 1. "Unsportsmanlike conduct" is the legal term in sports rules. Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct mapping.

    Sense index 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target:** The target lemma is "player" and the surface form is "players". The context involves a discussion about a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax, specifically mentioning Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos. The text discusses "expulsion," "yellow card," and "game."

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid..."
    *   "...in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax..."
    *   "...both players deliberately wasted time..."
    *   The context is clearly about sports (specifically football/soccer).

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `a person who participates in or is skilled at some game`. Synonyms: `participant`. This fits perfectly with sports players.
    *   **Sense 2:** `someone who plays a musical instrument`. Synonyms: `musician`. Incorrect context.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:** Sense 1 is the definition of a game/sports participant. The context explicitly mentions a game, a team (Real Madrid), opponents (Ajax), and match officials (referee, yellow card).

5.  **Format the Output:** The instructions ask for a JSON object like `{"sense_index": X}`. Since Sense 1 is the correct one, I need to output `{"sense_index": 1}`.

6.  **Double Check:**
    *   Target: "both <t>players</t> should be sanctioned..."
    *   Who are they? Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos.
    *   What are they doing? Playing a game against Ajax.
    *   Sense 1 definition: "participates in ... some game".
    *   Match: Perfect.

    *   Sense 2 (musician): No instruments mentioned.
    *   Sense 3 (actor): No theater mentioned.
    *   Sense 4 (womanizer): No sexual context.
    *   Sense 5 (business deal): No business context (though UEFA is an organization, the role is athletic, not business-deal specific in this sentence).

    Conclusion: Sense 1 is the only correct choice.

Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few <t>minutes</t> before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word:** The target lemma is "minute", and the surface form is "minutes" (plural).
2.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "As we all know, a few <t>minutes</t> before the end of the game... both players deliberately wasted time..."
    *   Context clues: "before the end of the game", "wasted time", "few minutes".
    *   The phrase "a few minutes before the end of the game" refers to a specific duration of time.
    *   It implies a quantifiable amount of time remaining in a soccer match (which is measured in standard units).
    *   "Minutes" here are units used to measure the duration remaining until the game ends.

3.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `minute%1:28:00::` | definition=a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour | synonyms=min | examples=he ran a 4 minute mile.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the standard unit of time measurement. In a soccer game context ("a few minutes before the end"), the clock is counting down standard minutes (90 minutes total usually, plus stoppage). This fits perfectly with a quantifiable amount of time ("a few minutes").

    *   **Sense 2:** `minute%1:28:01::` | definition=an indefinitely short time | synonyms=moment, mo, second, bit | examples=wait just a moment; in a mo.
        *   *Fit:* This usually implies a very short, non-specific duration (like "wait a minute"). While "a few minutes" is a short time relative to a lifetime, it is specific and measured in the context of a sports game. "A few moments" might work, but "a few minutes" suggests a count of specific units (e.g., 3 or 4 minutes), not just an indefinite short time. The definition "indefinitely short time" is less precise than "unit of time equal to 60 seconds" for the context of sports timing.

    *   **Sense 3:** `minute%1:28:02::` | definition=a particular point in time | synonyms=moment, second, instant | examples=the moment he arrived the party began.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to a specific instant (a point on a timeline). The text says "a few minutes before", which implies a duration leading up to a point, rather than the point itself. You wouldn't say "a few instants before". You would say "at that minute" or "at that moment". Here, it's a span of time.

    *   **Sense 4:** `minute%1:23:00::` | definition=a unit of angular distance equal to a 60th of a degree | synonyms=arcminute, minute of arc.
        *   *Fit:* Geometry/Geography context. Not relevant here.

    *   **Sense 5:** `minute%1:10:00::` | definition=a short note | examples=the secretary keeps the minutes of the meeting.
        *   *Fit:* Meeting notes context. Not relevant here.

    *   **Sense 6:** `minute%1:07:00::` | definition=distance measured by the time taken to cover it | synonyms=hour | examples=we live an hour from the airport.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to spatial distance expressed in time units (it's 10 minutes away). In the context "a few minutes before the end of the game", it refers to time remaining on the clock, not distance traveled.

4.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   The context clearly refers to the standard unit of time measurement (60 seconds) used in timing sports events.
    *   "A few minutes" is a plural count of this specific unit.
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition of the time unit.
    *   Sense 2 is "indefinitely short time". While minutes are short, in this context, they are being counted (unit of measure), which points strongly to Sense 1 over Sense 2. Sense 1's example "he ran a 4 minute mile" demonstrates the measurement aspect, similar to measuring the remaining time in a game.

5.  **Final Decision:** Sense 1 is the correct choice.

6.  **Format Output:** Return JSON `{"sense_index": 1}`.

Target lemma: end
Target surface form: end
Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the <t>end</t> of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

Candidate senses:

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won)..."
    *   Target phrase: "before the end of the game".
    *   Context clues: "game", "minutes before", time-related. The text is discussing a football (soccer) match. The "end" refers to the moment the match finishes or the final whistle.
    *   Keywords: game, minutes before, time.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   1. "either extremity of something that has length" (spatial). Example: end of a pier. -> *Unlikely, this is temporal.*
    *   2. "the point in time at which something ends" (temporal). Synonyms: ending. Examples: end of the year. -> *Strong candidate. Fits "end of the game" as a specific moment in time.*
    *   3. "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (temporal/durational). Synonyms: last, final stage. Examples: the end was exciting. -> *Possible, but usually refers to the sequence of events or the narrative portion, whereas "minutes before the end" implies a specific cutoff point.*
    *   4. "the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve" (goal). Example: ends justify the means. -> *Incorrect.*
    *   5. "a final part or section" (textual/structural). Example: end of the section. -> *Incorrect.*
    *   6. "a final state" (death/destruction). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   7. "the surface at either extremity" (spatial 3D). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   8. "(football) the person who plays..." (player position). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   9. "a boundary marking the extremities" (spatial). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   10. "one of two places from which people are communicating". -> *Incorrect.*
    *   11. "the part you are expected to play". -> *Incorrect.*
    *   12. "the last section of a communication". -> *Incorrect.*
    *   13. "a piece of cloth that is left over". -> *Incorrect.*
    *   14. "(American football) a position...". -> *Incorrect.*

3.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends". The context says "a few minutes before the end". This refers to the temporal boundary—the final whistle, the 90th minute (plus stoppage).
    *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event". Example: "the end was exciting".
    *   Analysis: While Sense 3 is close, "the end of the game" in the phrase "minutes before the end" strongly implies a specific *point in time* (a deadline or cutoff) rather than a "final stage" or "process of ending". If one says "during the end of the game", Sense 3 might apply. But "before the end" usually targets the timestamp defining the limit. Therefore, Sense 2 ("point in time") is the most precise definition for "end of the game" in this temporal construction.

    *   *Check examples:*
        *   Sense 2 example: "the end of the year". (Time point).
        *   Sense 3 example: "the end was exciting". (The final parts/occurrences).

    *   The phrase "end of the game" is synonymous with "end of the year" (Sense 2) in terms of grammatical construction and semantic denotation (the time limit). It refers to the final moment.

4.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

5.  **Formatting:** Return JSON object.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context**:
    *   Target lemma: `game`
    *   Target surface form: `game`
    *   Context: The text discusses a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. The specific sentence mentions: "As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the <t>game</t> (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time..."
    *   Key semantic features: It refers to a specific sporting event (Real Madrid vs. Ajax) that happened on a specific date (Nov 23rd) and had a duration ("a few minutes before the end").

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses**:

    *   **Sense 1**: `game%1:04:00::` | Definition: "a contest with rules to determine a winner" | Examples: "you need four people to play this game".
        *   *Analysis*: This refers to the *game* as a concept or a type of activity (like "chess" or "poker"). While the match is a contest with rules, this sense usually refers to the abstract concept or the activity itself, not necessarily a specific instance/occurrence of the event.

    *   **Sense 2**: `game%1:04:03::` | Definition: "a single play of a sport or other contest" | Examples: "the game lasted two hours".
        *   *Analysis*: This refers to a specific instance/occurrence of a sporting event. The context mentions "the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax" and "a few minutes before the end of the game". The duration and specificity ("the game") fit the example "the game lasted two hours" perfectly.

    *   **Sense 3**: `game%1:04:01::` | Definition: "an amusement or pastime".
        *   *Analysis*: This is for things like board games or children's games. Professional football is a sport/contest, not merely a pastime in this specific sense.

    *   **Sense 4**: `game%1:05:00::` | Definition: "animal hunted for food or sport".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 5**: `game%1:28:00::` | Definition: "(tennis) a division of play during which one player serves".
        *   *Analysis*: This is a technical term in tennis (game, set, match). The context is football/soccer.

    *   **Sense 6**: `game%1:23:00::` | Definition: "(games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win".
        *   *Analysis*: Context says "end of the game", referring to the event, not the score.

    *   **Sense 7**: `game%1:13:00::` | Definition: "the flesh of wild animals that is used for food".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 8**: `game%1:09:00::` | Definition: "a secret scheme to do something".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 9**: `game%1:06:00::` | Definition: "the game equipment needed".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 10**: `game%1:04:02::` | Definition: "your occupation or line of work".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 11**: `game%1:04:04::` | Definition: "frivolous or trifling behavior".
        *   *Analysis*: Irrelevant.

3.  **Differentiate between Sense 1 and Sense 2**:
    *   Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") often functions as a count noun for the activity type or the event in general, but Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") is more specific to the *event instance*.
    *   WordNet (and general usage) often distinguishes between the *activity* (Sense 1) and the *specific instance/match* (Sense 2).
    *   Context clues: "the game played on the 23rd of November", "the game lasted...". This is a specific instance of a sport.
    *   Example for Sense 2: "the game lasted two hours". The context says "a few minutes before the end of the game". This is a strong match.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "you need four people to play this game". This implies the rules/structure of the game.

    *   Let's check standard WSD practice for "game" in sports contexts.
        *   "I like soccer" -> refers to the sport.
        *   "The game last night was exciting" -> refers to the specific match (instance).
        *   The text refers to "the game played on the 23rd of November". This is a specific occurrence.
        *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice. It captures the "match" aspect.

4.  **Final Verification**:
    *   Target: "...a few minutes before the end of the <t>game</t>..."
    *   Definition: "a single play of a sport or other contest".
    *   Synonyms (implied): match, event.
    *   This fits perfectly.

5.  **Construct Output**:
    *   The user wants a JSON object with `sense_index`.
    *   Sense 2 is the second item in the list (index 2).

    List check:
    1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: (contest with rules)
    2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: (single play of a sport)  <-- CHOSEN
    ...

    Result: {"sense_index": 2}

    *   **Sense 2 (time%1:28:05::):** "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something".
        *   Examples: "take time to smell the roses", "I didn't have time to finish".
        *   Fit: This definition talks about time as a resource. "Wasting time" implies misusing a resource. In the context of a sports game, time is a limited resource (90 minutes) that teams manage. "Wasting time" specifically means using up this resource without productive play (to run down the clock). This aligns well with the concept of time as a resource to be controlled or managed.

    *   **Sense 3 (time%1:28:00::):** "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)".
        *   Examples: "he waited a long time".
        *   Fit: "Wasted a long time" works, but the concept of "wasting time" in a game context usually refers to the availability of time as a resource/asset, rather than just a generic span of duration. However, let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3 closely. Sense 2 emphasizes "resource under your control". In sports, time is a resource. Sense 3 is just a period. "Wasting a period" is possible, but "wasting time" usually idiomatically maps to the resource sense (Time is money/Time is a resource). Let's look at the phrase "wasting time".
        *   *Re-evaluating Sense 2 vs 3:* If I say "I wasted time", it usually means I used the resource of time available to me poorly. The gloss for Sense 2 explicitly mentions "resource under your control". This fits the semantics of "time-wasting" in sports (a tactical manipulation of the resource).

    *   **Sense 4 (time%1:28:06::):** "a suitable moment".
        *   Examples: "it is time to go".
        *   Fit: No.

    *   **Sense 5 (time%1:03:00::):** "the continuum of experience...".
        *   Fit: Too abstract/philosophical. They didn't waste the continuum.

    *   **Sense 6 (time%1:11:01::):** "a person's experience on a particular occasion".
        *   Examples: "they had a good time".
        *   Fit: No.

    *   **Sense 7 (time%1:28:03::):** "a reading of a point in time...".
        *   Fit: No.

    *   **Sense 8 (time%1:28:04::):** "the fourth coordinate...".
        *   Fit: No.

    *   **Sense 9 (time%1:07:01::):** "rhythm...".
        *   Fit: No.

    *   **Sense 10 (time%1:28:01::):** "prison term".
        *   Fit: No.

3.  **Final Decision between Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 3: "an indefinite period".
    *   Sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource... sufficient to accomplish something".
    *   The phrase "wasted time" is the key.
    *   When one "wastes" something, it treats that thing as a resource (often a limited or valuable one).
    *   In the context of a football match, time is a limited resource (the game clock). Wasting time is a strategy to deplete the opponent's resource (time to score).
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 captures the nuance of "time as a resource" which is inherent to the concept of "wasting" it in a competitive setting.
    *   Sense 3 is for phrases like "have a good time" (not here), or "wait a long time". While one can "waste a period" (Sense 3), the specific idiom "waste time" usually maps to the resource sense (Sense 2). In WordNet, `waste_time%2:42:00::` (verb) relates to spending time fruitlessly. The noun sense corresponding to the object being wasted is the resource sense.
    *   Let's check the synonyms for Sense 2. It doesn't list synonyms in the prompt, but the definition is the discriminator.
    *   Sense 2 Definition: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control...".
    *   Example given: "I didn't have time to finish". This implies scarcity/limitation.
    *   Context: Players deliberately wasted time. They treated the remaining game time as a resource to be consumed without action. This fits Sense 2 perfectly.

    Let's double-check Sense 3. "an indefinite period". "He wasted an indefinite period". While factually true (they wasted some minutes), the semantic framing of "wasting time" focuses on the *value* or *utility* of that time, which aligns with the "resource" definition of Sense 2.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    Index for Sense 2 is 2.

Target lemma: referee
Target surface form: referee
Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the <t>referee</t> show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:**
    *   Target lemma: referee
    *   Target surface form: referee
    *   Context: A sports article about Real Madrid players (Alonso and Ramos) getting yellow cards in a Champions League game against Ajax. The players deliberately wasted time to get a second yellow card.
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  Sports official (boxing/American football mentioned, but generalizable).
        2.  Manuscript reader/reviewer.
        3.  Attorney/Court appointed official.
    *   Output format: JSON `{"sense_index": X}`. No hedging.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Keywords: "Sport and fraud law", "Alonso and Ramos", "Real Madrid", "Ajax", "European Champions League", "game", "yellow card", "UEFA", "league".
    *   Action: "...both players deliberately wasted time which made the **referee** show the second yellow card to both of them."
    *   Role: The person showing yellow cards in a football/soccer game.

3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play`. The definition mentions boxing or American football, but the core concept is "sports" and "chief official". In soccer (European Champions League context), the referee is the chief official who issues cards. This matches perfectly with the context of a football match.
    *   **Sense 2:** `someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication`. This is academic/publishing context. Not relevant to football or yellow cards.
    *   **Sense 3:** `an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case`. This is legal context. While the article title mentions "fraud law", the specific instance of the target word is inside a game description involving yellow cards. This is clearly not a court attorney.

4.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   The context is explicitly about a football match (Champions League, Real Madrid vs. Ajax).
    *   The action is showing a "yellow card".
    *   Only Sense 1 relates to sports and officiating games.

5.  **Formulate Output:**
    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.
    *   JSON format: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "This <t>way</t>, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."
    *   Preceding context: Players deliberately wasted time to get yellow cards (sanctions) so they would be suspended for a less important game (against Auxerre) and start the next phase (knockout rounds) with a clean slate.
    *   Meaning of "This way": By doing this; through this method/means. The action (getting sent off) *results* in the desired outcome (serving suspension in a meaningless game).

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode). Example: "his rapid manner of talking". Focus is on the *style* or *manner* of an action.
    *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency). Example: "a means of control". Focus is on the *instrument* or *method* used to achieve a result.
    *   Sense 3: "a line leading to a place or point" (direction). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "the condition of things generally". Example: "that's the way it is". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: "a course of conduct". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 6: "any artifact consisting of a road...". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 7: "a journey or passage". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 8: "space for movement". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 9: "the property of distance". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 10: "doing as one pleases". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 11: "a general category of things". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 12: "a portion of something". Not applicable.

3.  **Differentiate between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 (manner/mode) usually describes *how* an action is performed (e.g., "He did it in a strange way").
    *   Sense 2 (means/agency) describes the *method* or *process* utilized to achieve a specific result.
    *   In the text, "This way" links the action (getting expelled) to the consequence/benefit (cleaning cards for the next phase). It acts as a connector explaining the *result* obtained. "By doing this, they achieve that."
    *   Let's look at the definitions again.
        *   Sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens".
        *   Sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".
    *   The context describes a strategy (getting expelled) to achieve an end (serving suspension in a low-stakes game). "This way" functions as "By this means".
    *   Example comparison:
        *   Sense 1: "He spoke in a rude way." (Manner of speech).
        *   Sense 2: "The best way to lose weight is to exercise." (Means to an end).
    *   Here: "This way... players will fulfil the prescribed sanction... and get rid of cards." -> "By this method/means, the players achieve the end."
    *   Sense 2 fits "means" or "agency" perfectly. "This way" = "By this means".

4.  **Conclusion:** The word "way" is used to indicate the method or means by which the players achieved their goal (serving the sanction conveniently). This aligns with Sense 2.

5.  **Final check:**
    *   Text: "This way..." -> "By this means..."
    *   Definition 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".
    *   Synonyms: "means".
    *   Match: Yes.

    Sense 1 is often "manner" (style). While "manner" can sometimes overlap, the specific definition "how a result is obtained" in Sense 2 is the precise definition for the instrumental "way" used here.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: `group%1:03:00::` - Definition: "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit". Synonyms: "grouping". This is the general, hypernymic sense of a group (a collection of things or people). In sports tournaments, a "group" is a specific subset of teams playing each other. This fits the general definition of a collection of teams treated as a unit within the tournament structure.
    *   Sense 2: `group%1:27:00::` - Definition: "(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule". Synonyms: "radical, chemical group". This is clearly wrong for a sports context.
    *   Sense 3: `group%1:09:00::` - Definition: "a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse". Synonyms: "mathematical group". This refers to abstract algebra. Wrong context.

3.  **Select the best sense:**
    *   The context is sports (Champions League).
    *   The phrase "leader of its group" refers to the standings in a specific cluster of teams.
    *   This cluster of teams is a collection of entities (teams) considered as a unit (the group stage section).
    *   Sense 1 is the general noun sense for a collection of entities. While WordNet has specific domains, sometimes the specific domain senses (like sports) might not be listed separately in a 3-sense list, or they fall under the general definition. In this list, Sense 1 is the only generic "collection" sense.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The target lemma is "player" (plural "players"). The context describes a sports scenario involving Real Madrid, Ajax, Xabi Alonso, and Sergio Ramos in a Champions League match. It talks about "deliberately wasted time," "referee show the second yellow card," "trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho," and "sanctioned." The "players" are explicitly identified as Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, who are athletes participating in a football game.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase. Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The target word is "game". The context describes a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax in the Champions League. It discusses a specific incident where players got red cards to serve a suspension in a *future* match.
    *   The specific target instance is: "...both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre..."
    *   The context mentions "game played on the 23rd of November", "end of the game", "next game of league".
    *   It refers to specific sporting events (matches) involving teams and players.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1: game%1:04:00::** (a contest with rules to determine a winner | examples=you need four people to play this game).
        *   This refers to the abstract concept of a game or a specific type of game. "Football is a game." "Chess is a game." It doesn't quite fit the specific instance of a scheduled match happening on a specific date against a specific opponent.

    *   **Sense 2: game%1:04:03::** (a single play of a sport or other contest | examples=the game lasted two hours).
        *   This refers to a specific instance/occurrence of a contest. "The game played on the 23rd of November" is a single play of a sport. "The next game of league" is a specific scheduled match instance. This aligns perfectly with the context describing a specific match against Auxerre.

    *   **Sense 3: game%1:04:01::** (an amusement or pastime | examples=they played word games).
        *   Too general. Professional football matches are not just "pastimes" in this context; they are competitive sporting events.

    *   **Sense 4: game%1:05:00::** (animal hunted for food or sport).
        *   Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 5: game%1:28:00::** ((tennis) a division of play during which one player serves).
        *   Wrong sport. This is football/soccer.

    *   **Sense 6: game%1:23:00::** ((games) the score at a particular point...).
        *   Irrelevant. It refers to the score, not the event itself.

    *   **Sense 7: game%1:13:00::** (the flesh of wild animals...).
        *   Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 8: game%1:09:00::** (a secret scheme...).
        *   Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 9: game%1:06:00::** (the game equipment...).
        *   Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 10: game%1:04:02::** (your occupation or line of work).
        *   Irrelevant.

    *   **Sense 11: game%1:04:04::** (frivolous or trifling behavior).
        *   Irrelevant.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 ("a contest with rules...") focuses on the *type* of activity or the activity as a concept. Example: "Baseball is a game."
    *   Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport...") focuses on the *specific occurrence* or *instance*. Example: "I watched the game last night."
    *   The context explicitly mentions "the next <t>game</t> of league, against Auxerre". This is a specific instance of a sporting contest, not the abstract concept of the sport itself. The phrase "a single play of a sport" (meaning a match/game event) captures the meaning of "game" here. The example "the game lasted two hours" mirrors the usage here ("the game played on the 23rd...").

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct choice. It fits the specific instance of a match between Real Madrid and Auxerre.

5.  **Formatting:** The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}`. I must not use the sense key. The index corresponds to the list number.
    *   1 -> sense_key=game%1:04:00::
    *   2 -> sense_key=game%1:04:03::

    The correct sense is the second one in the list.
    Sense Index: 2.

1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and form**: "league". It's a noun here.
2.  **Analyze the context**: The text discusses football (soccer) players (Alonso, Ramos, Real Madrid, Ajax, UEFA, Champions League). It mentions a specific game and future matches.
    *   "...will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of <t>league</t>, against Auxerre..."
    *   The context is explicitly about sports competitions (European Champions League, Real Madrid, Ajax).
    *   The specific usage "game of league" is slightly unidiomatic (usually "league game"), but the meaning is clearly referring to a competition organized by a sports association (the domestic league, specifically La Liga implied by Real Madrid, though the text just says "league").
3.  **Evaluate the candidate senses**:
    *   **Sense 1**: `league%1:14:01::` | definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members | synonyms=conference.
        *   This fits perfectly. Real Madrid plays in a league (La Liga). The "next game of league" refers to the domestic competition matches organized by the league association.
    *   **Sense 2**: `league%1:14:00::` | definition=an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action.
        *   This is too general/political (e.g., League of Nations). It refers to non-sports associations. While technically sports teams are organizations, Sense 1 is specific to sports. In WSD, specific senses override general ones when applicable.
    *   **Sense 3**: `league%1:23:00::` | definition=an obsolete unit of distance of variable length (usually 3 miles).
        *   This is a unit of measurement. Does not fit the context of a football match schedule.
4.  **Select the best sense**: Sense 1 is the intended meaning. The text is about a "game of league" (a match within the sports competition).
5.  **Format the output**: The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}` where X is the index number (1, 2, or 3).

    *   Sense 1 matches the context of sports matches (Real Madrid, Ajax, etc.).

    So, the index is 1.
