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

1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma**: The word is "team", used as a noun in the context of a basketball game.

2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   The text describes a basketball game between "Maccabees" (Tel Aviv) and "Vitorians" (Alavas/Girona/Baskonia context implied by names like Teletovic).
    *   Key phrases: "halftime", "court", "three-pointers", "scoreboard", "quarter", "fouling out", "victory".
    *   Specific sentence: "...Pnini and Eidson, the best on their team, did not give up and tried to keep their team alive from the three-point line..."
    *   The "team" refers to a group of players participating in a competitive sport (basketball).

reasoning_content:
The context describes a basketball game between two teams. The text talks about players (Eidson, Pnini, Ivanovic, Marza Teletovic, English, Ribas, San Emeterio, Splitter), quarters (third quarter, last period), scores (54-67, 57-67, 65-75, 70-77), three-pointers, and fouling out. The target word "game" in "the game was already won" refers to the entire sporting contest.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. game%1:04:00:: - a contest with rules to determine a winner (e.g., you need four people to play this game) - refers to the game as a type of activity.
2. game%1:04:03:: - a single play of a sport or other contest (e.g., the game lasted two hours) - refers to a specific instance of a contest.

"The game was already won" means the specific instance of the contest they were playing.
Sense 2 (game%1:04:03::) specifically denotes a single play of a sport or other contest, which fits perfectly here (the specific basketball match that was won).
Sense 1 (game%1:04:00::) is the game as a concept or kind of contest.

Example for sense 2: "the game lasted two hours" - instance of a contest.
Context: "the game was already won" - instance of a contest.

Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.

The phrase "for the first time" clearly means "on the first occasion" - it refers to an instance or single occasion for some event. This matches sense 1: "an instance or single occasion for some event" with examples like "this time he succeeded" and "he called four times."

Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

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 sentence is "...victory escaped Tel Aviv for the first time in the season." The context describes a sports game (basketball, implied by players like Eidson, Pnini, Teletovic, Splitter, and terms like "three-pointers," "fouling out"). The specific phrase is "first time in the season."

2.  **Analyze the Target Lemma:** "season" (noun).

3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `season%1:28:02::` - Definition: "a period of the year marked by special events or activities in some field." Examples: "10th season with the ballet company," "avocado season." This sense refers to a defined period for a specific activity (sports, theater, agriculture).
    *   **Sense 2:** `season%1:28:00::` - Definition: "one of the natural periods into which the year is divided by the equinoxes and solstices or atmospheric conditions." Synonyms: "time of year." Examples: "regular sequence of the seasons." This refers to spring, summer, autumn, winter.
    *   **Sense 3:** `season%1:28:01::` - Definition: "a recurrent time marked by major holidays." Examples: "Christmas season." This refers to holiday periods.

4.  **Disambiguate:**
    *   The context is clearly sports (basketball league).
    *   The phrase "first time in the season" refers to the duration of the sports competition schedule (the league season).
    *   Sense 2 (Natural seasons: Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter) is incorrect because a sports season can span multiple natural seasons, and the reference here is to the schedule of play.
    *   Sense 3 (Holiday season) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 1 refers to "a period of the year marked by special events or activities in some field." Sports is a specific field. The example "10th season with the ballet company" is semantically very close to a sports season (a scheduled period of performances or games).

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 fits best. It captures the concept of a specific timeframe dedicated to a specific activity (basketball).

6.  **Format Output:** The user wants a JSON object `{"sense_index": X}` where X is the index number (1, 2, or 3). The correct index is 1.

Context:
<t>Wall Street</t> closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%.

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:
The context discusses "Wall Street closes without momentum" and refers to the New York Stock Exchange, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ. This is using "Wall Street" as a metonymy for the U.S. securities/financial industry, not literally referring to the street in lower Manhattan.

Sense 1: a street in lower Manhattan (literal location)
Sense 2: used to allude to the securities industry of the United States (metonymic usage)

The context clearly uses "Wall Street" to refer to the securities industry/stock market, not the physical street. The sentence says "Wall Street closes" - a street doesn't close; the financial markets do.

The best sense is sense 2.

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 Target:** The target lemma is "dollar" with the surface form "dollar". The context is a financial news snippet about Wall Street, stock exchanges, and currency strength.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar."
    *   "torn between better than expected indicators... and a strengthening dollar."
    *   The context discusses macroeconomics, currency markets, and the value of the currency relative to other factors (indicators, stock indices).

3.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**
    *   *Sense 1 (dollar%1:23:00::):* "a piece of paper money worth one dollar". Synonyms: dollar bill, buck, clam. This refers to a physical banknote.
    *   *Sense 3 (dollar%1:21:01::):* "a United States coin worth one dollar". Refers to a physical coin.
    *   *Sense 4 (dollar%1:10:00::):* "a symbol of commercialism or greed". Synonyms: dollar mark, dollar sign. This is metaphorical.

4.  **Evaluate Fit:**
    *   Does the context talk about a specific physical bill (Sense 2) or coin (Sense 3)? No. A "strengthening dollar" refers to the exchange rate or the overall value of the currency, not a specific piece of paper or metal.
    *   Does the context talk about the symbol "$" or greed (Sense 4)? No.
    *   Does the context talk about the monetary unit/currency? Yes. In financial news, "the dollar" usually refers to the currency as a whole or the unit of account in international markets. The phrase "strengthening dollar" implies the currency's value is rising relative to others. This aligns with Sense 1, which defines it as the basic monetary unit. While WordNet definitions can be schematic, Sense 1 is the general hypernym for the currency unit.

5.  **Refine the Choice:**
    *   WordNet 3.1 (or similar versions) often distinguishes between the unit (Sense 1) and the physical representations (Senses 2 & 3).
    *   When financial news says "the dollar strengthened," they are referring to the unit of currency (the economy's currency representation).
    *   Sense 1 ("the basic monetary unit...") is the standard sense used when referring to the currency value or the currency name in a general/abstract sense, which fits "strengthening dollar".

6.  **Final Decision:** Sense 1 fits best. It captures the abstract monetary unit/currency value discussed in financial markets.

7.  **Format Output:** The user requested a JSON object like `{"sense_index": 3}`. Based on my analysis, the index is 1.

    *   Sense 1: Abstract monetary unit /'t match.
    *   Sense 4: Symbol/Greed. Doesn't match.

    Result: Sense 1.

content:

reasoning_content:
The target word is "heading" used in the context: "The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday".
Here, "heading" refers to the direction or path along which the market is moving. The market has no clear direction/momentum.
Sense 1: a line of text serving to indicate what the passage below it is about (header, head).
Sense 2: the direction or path along which something moves or along which it lies (bearing, aim).
Sense 3: a horizontal passageway in a mine (drift, gallery).

The context talks about the market having no "momentum" and being "slowed", "torn between", which points to a lack of clear direction. Therefore, "heading" means "direction".
Sense 2 matches this definition perfectly.

Index for Sense 2 is 2.

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 Word:** The target word is "market" (noun, singular). The context mentions "Wall Street," "New York Stock Exchange," "Dow Jones," "NASDAQ," and "securities."
2.  **Analyze the Context:** The sentence says: "...in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%."
    *   The context is explicitly financial/stock exchange related.
    *   It discusses indices (Dow Jones, NASDAQ).
    *   It discusses investors and commercial activity on a large, abstract scale (Wall Street).
3.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses:**
    *   *Sense 1 (market%1:04:00::):* "the world of commercial activity where goods and services are bought and sold." Synonyms: marketplace. Examples: "without competition there would be no market."
        *   *Critique:* This is a broad definition of a market. It could apply, but the context is specifically about *securities* (stocks), not general goods and services.
    *   *Sense 2 (market%1:14:00::):* "the customers for a particular product or service."
        *   *Critique:* This refers to a target demographic (e.g., "the market for this book"). The context refers to the trading environment/financial system, not a customer base.
    *   *Sense 3 (market%1:06:00::):* "a marketplace where groceries are sold." Synonyms: grocery store.
        *   *Critique:* Clearly incorrect. The text is about stocks, not food.
    *   *Sense 4 (market%1:14:01::):* "the securities markets in the aggregate." Synonyms: securities industry. Examples: "the market always frustrates the small investor."
        *   *Critique:* This matches the context perfectly. "Wall Street," "New York Stock Exchange," "Dow Jones," and "NASDAQ" are all components of the securities markets. The phrase "the market" in financial news usually refers to this specific sense (the stock market).
    *   *Sense 5 (market%1:06:01::):* "an area in a town where a public mercantile establishment is set up." Synonyms: marketplace, mart.
        *   *Critique:* This refers to a physical location like a street market or bazaar. Incorrect.
4.  **Select the Best Sense:** Sense 4 is the precise definition for the stock market/securities industry context provided. The mention of the Dow Jones and NASDAQ confirms that "market" here refers to the securities markets.
5.  **Format Output:** The user wants a JSON object with the key "sense_index". The index is 4.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1:* definition="a number or ratio (a value on a scale of measurement) derived from a series of observed facts; can reveal relative changes as a function of time" | synonyms=index, index number, indicant.
        *   This relates to statistical data, economic data, or metrics. Examples: unemployment rate, inflation rate, consumer price index. This fits perfectly with financial markets and economic news ("better than expected indicators in the United States"). "Economic indicators" is a very common collocation.

    *   *Sense 2:* definition="a signal for attracting attention".
        *   This is a general signal (like a turn signal or a flag). It doesn't fit the context of financial analysis or "better than expected" quantitative data.

    *   *Sense 3:* definition="a device for showing the operating condition of some system".
        *   This refers to a physical device (like a gauge on a dashboard or a pointer). While markets are a "system," the text refers to "indicators in the United States" which are better than expected. This implies abstract data points (economic statistics), not physical devices.

    *   *Sense 4:* definition="(chemistry) a substance that changes color...".
        *   This is clearly scientific/chemical context. Irrelevant here.

3.  **Compare context with best sense:**
    *   The text discusses the stock market closing, Dow Jones, NASDAQ.
    *   The phrase "better than expected indicators" refers to economic statistics (like GDP, employment numbers, consumer confidence) that influence market sentiment.
    *   Sense 1 covers "number or ratio... derived from observed facts" and synonyms include "index".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

1.  **Analyze the Target:**
    *   Target lemma: `united_states`
    *   Target surface form: `United States`
    *   Context: A financial news snippet about the stock market closing, mentioning "better than expected indicators in the United States".

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `united_states%1:15:00::` - Definition: "North American republic containing 50 states..." (The physical/geographical/political entity of the country itself). Synonyms: United States of America, America, the States, US, USA.

3.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Sentence: "...in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the <t>United States</t> and a strengthening dollar..."
    *   Key phrase: "indicators in the United States".
    *   Does "indicators in the United States" refer to the physical country/geography or the government?
    *   Economic indicators (employment rates, GDP, manufacturing data, etc.) are usually reported *from* or *within* the country as a geopolitical entity. While the government collects them, they reflect the state of the economy (the country), not just the actions of the federal branches.
    *   Comparisons: If the text said "The United States imposed sanctions," it would likely be Sense 2 (the government acting). If the text said "The United States is large," it would be Sense 1 (the land).
    *   Here, the text refers to economic indicators located in or pertaining to the national economy. This fits the definition of the country entity (Sense 1) rather than the specific institution of the federal government (Sense 2).
    *   Furthermore, the synonym list for Sense 1 is the standard usage (America, USA). Sense 2 usually implies "The US Government". When we say "indicators in the United States", we mean the country.

4.  **Decision:**
    *   Sense 1 represents the country/nation.
    *   Sense 2 represents the government body.
    *   The context talks about economic indicators within the country. It distinguishes between the location/source of the indicators (US) and the currency (dollar).
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   The user wants a JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar"
    *   "torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening <t>dollar</t>"
    *   The context refers to the US currency value fluctuating (strengthening) against other metrics or influencing the stock market.
    *   It's a metonymic or generic reference to the currency itself as an economic unit/entity, not a specific physical coin or bill, and not a symbol of greed.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   *Sense 1:* `dollar%1:23:00::` | definition="the basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents".
        *   This refers to the abstract monetary unit/currency. This fits "strengthening dollar" (currency value). It is the standard sense used in financial reporting when discussing exchange rates or currency strength.
    *   *Sense 2:* `dollar%1:21:00::` | definition="a piece of paper money worth one dollar" | synonyms=dollar bill...
        *   This refers to the physical banknote. A "strengthening dollar" is not a physical banknote getting stronger muscles. It's not a specific piece of paper.
    *   *Sense 3:* `dollar%1:21:01::` | definition="a United States coin worth one dollar"...
        *   This refers to the physical coin. Same issue as Sense 2.
    *   *Sense 4:* `dollar%1:10:00::` | definition="a symbol of commercialism or greed"...
        *   While "almighty dollar" is a phrase, the context here is economic analysis (Wall Street, NASDAQ, Dow Jones), not a critique of greed or commercialism. "Strengthening dollar" refers to the exchange rate/value of the currency.

    *   Sense 1 defines the basic monetary unit. In financial news, "dollar" usually refers to the currency unit as a whole (USD) and its value.
    *   The phrase "strengthening dollar" implies an increase in the value of the currency unit relative to others.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Context sentence: "According to final closing <t>figures</t>, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points..."
    *   The word "figures" refers to numbers, specifically financial numbers/stock market levels/points.
    *   The text discusses stock market performance (Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500), closing values, points gained/lost.
    *   "Closing figures" is a common collocation in financial journalism meaning the final numbers or values of the stocks.

2.  **Evaluate candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1: a diagram or picture illustrating textual material.* (Synonyms: fig). Incorrect. This refers to graphics in a text, not numerical values.
    *   *Sense 2: alternative names for the body of a human being.* Incorrect. Context is finance, not anatomy.
    *   *Sense 3: one of the elements that collectively form a system of numeration.* (Synonyms: digit). Incorrect. While digits are involved, "figures" here refers to the aggregate numbers/values (10,471.50), not individual digits like 0, 1, 2.
    *   *Sense 4: a model of a bodily form.* Incorrect. Context is finance.
    *   *Sense 5: a well-known or notable person.* Incorrect. It's not referring to a person.
    *   *Sense 6: a combination of points and lines... shape.* Incorrect. Geometric shape.
    *   *Sense 7: an amount of money expressed numerically.* (Examples: a figure of $17 was suggested). This seems close. The stock market points represent monetary value or index levels. However, usually, "figures" in the plural ("closing figures") often refers to statistics or data points.
    *   *Sense 8: the impression produced by a person.* Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 9: the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals.* (Synonyms: number). This is a strong contender. "Closing figures" refers to the numbers/values. The definition mentions "sum or total". The examples are count-based ("number of chores"). In financial contexts, "figures" often means "numbers" or "statistics".
    *   *Sense 10: language used in a figurative...* Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 11: a unitary percept...* Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 12: a decorative or artistic work.* Incorrect.
    *   *Sense 13: a predetermined set of movements...* Incorrect.

3.  **Refine the choice between Sense 7 and Sense 9:**

    *   *Sense 7:* "an amount of money expressed numerically". The example is "a figure of $17".
    *   *Sense 9:* "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". Synonym: "number".

    Let's look at the specific phrase "closing figures".
    "Closing figures" refers to the specific numerical values recorded at the end of the trading day.
    Are these "amounts of money" (Sense 7) or "numbers/totals" (Sense 9)?
    The Dow Jones is an index, not strictly an amount of money (though it represents value). The NASDAQ value is a number.
    WordNet sense 7 (`figure%1:07:00::`) focuses on *money*. "A figure of $17".
    WordNet sense 9 (`figure%1:07:01::`) focuses on *quantity/total/number*. "The number of parameters is small".

    In general usage:
    "Sales figures" -> numbers/statistics (Sense 9 is often used for statistics/data points, but let's check if there's a better fit or if sense 9 covers it).
    Actually, let's look closer at Sense 7. It specifically defines it as "an amount of money". While the stock market deals with money, the "closing figures" are often just points (numbers). For instance, "10,471.50 points". Points aren't strictly money (dollars), they are index units.
    Sense 9 defines it as "the property possessed by a sum or total...". Synonym: "number".
    "Closing numbers" makes perfect sense. "Closing amounts of money" fits less perfectly for index points.

    However, there is often a sense in WordNet for "figures" meaning "statistics" or "data".
    Let's check if Sense 9 is the standard mapping for "statistics" or "numbers" in a report.
    WordNet 3.1 or 3.0 hierarchy.
    Sense 7: `communication` -> `amount` -> `figure` (monetary).
    Sense 9: `amount` -> `number` -> `figure` (quantity/statistic).

    Let's re-read the definition of Sense 9: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". Synonyms: `number`.
    This fits the abstract concept of a number.
    However, "figures" in the plural (statistics/numerical data) is a very common usage.
    Let's check if there is another sense not listed or if Sense 7 is broader than the gloss suggests?
    No, Sense 7 gloss is "an amount of money". Sense 9 gloss is "property possessed by a sum...".
    Context: "final closing figures".
    Does this mean "final closing numbers"? Yes.
    Does this mean "final closing amounts of money"? Not exactly, they are index points.

    Therefore, Sense 9 (synonym "number") seems better than Sense 7 ("amount of money").
    Let's double-check Sense 3. "one of the elements... digit". "Closing digits" would be the last numbers (like 0 and 50), but "figures" here refers to the whole value (10,471.50).
    So it's between 7 and 9.
    Sense 7 implies monetary value.
    Sense 9 implies a number/quantity.
    Since the text mentions points (10,471.50 points), Sense 9 is the most accurate definition for "number" or "quantity".

    Let's look at the provided index mapping.
    Sense 3: digit.
    Sense 7: amount of money.
    Sense 9: number/quantity.

    "Figures" usually means "numbers" or "statistics" in this context.
    Example: "unemployment figures", "sales figures". These are statistics/numbers.
    Sense 9's definition "the property possessed by a sum or total..." defines "number".
    "According to final closing numbers..." -> Sense 9.
    "According to final closing amounts of money..." -> Sense 7 (awkward).

    Wait, is there a specific sense for "statistics"? No.
    Is "statistics" mapped to "number"?
    Often "figures" = "numbers".
    Sense 9 is the best fit.

    Let's try to find if "figures" meaning statistics maps to Sense 7 in standard WSD tasks?
    Sometimes "figures" meaning price/cost maps to Sense 7.
    But "closing figures" for an index map to Sense 9 (number).

    Let's look at Sense 7 again. `figure%1:07:00::`. Gloss: "an amount of money expressed numerically".
    Let's look at Sense 9 again. `figure%1:07:01::`. Gloss: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals". Synonyms: `number`.

    In WordNet, `figure` (number) is a hyponym of `number`.
    `figure` (monetary amount) is a hyponym of `amount`.

    The text says: "Dow Jones... risen... to 10 471.50 points".
    Points are units, quantities.
    "Closing figures" = "Closing numbers".
    I will select Sense 9.

    Let me reconsider Sense 7. Is it possible that in financial contexts, "figures" is treated as monetary?
    "A figure of $17".
    "The figures for the quarter were good."
    If I say "The figures were in the millions", they are numbers.
    If I say "The figure was $10", it is a monetary amount.
    Here, "10,471.50 points". These are not dollars.
    Therefore, Sense 7 (amount of money) is incorrect.
    Sense 9 (number) is correct.

    Final check:
    Target: figures.
    Context: closing figures (numbers/values).
    Sense 9: number.
    Sense 3: digit (a single symbol 0-9). The "figure" 10471.50 contains digits, but the "figure" itself is the number.
    So Sense 9.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Target word: "predominance".
    *   Sentence: "...whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point..."
    *   Contextual meaning: The NASDAQ index is being described. It is known for having a lot of technology companies. The phrase "with a technology predominance" means that technology stocks make up the largest or most significant part of that index. There is a dominance or prevalence of technology stocks within the NASDAQ.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `predominance%1:26:00::`
        *   Definition: "the state of being predominant over others"
        *   Synonyms: predomination, prepotency
        *   Interpretation: This refers to superiority, ascendancy, or having power/control over others. While "predominance" can mean dominance, in the context of a stock index composition, it often refers to the numerical superiority or being the largest constituent. Let's look at the other sense to compare. "State of being predominant" usually implies a hierarchical dominance (e.g., "Spain's predominance in 16th-century Europe").
    *   **Sense 2:** `predominance%1:07:00::`
        *   Definition: "the quality of being more noticeable than anything else"
        *   Synonyms: predomination
        *   Examples: "the predomination of blues gave the painting a quiet tone"
        *   Interpretation: This sense focuses on being the most noticeable, prominent, or prevalent quality. In the example, "predomination of blues" means blue is the main color. In the target sentence, "technology predominance" means technology is the main sector. This aligns well with the idea of composition or prevalence rather than active domination/power over others.

3.  **Compare and Select:**
    *   The context is about the composition of the NASDAQ index. It has more tech stocks than other types of stocks.
    *   Sense 1 ("state of being predominant over others") often implies dominance/power. While tech companies are powerful, the phrase "with a technology predominance" describes the *nature* or *composition* of the index. It means technology is the prevailing feature.
    *   Sense 2 ("quality of being more noticeable than anything else" / prevalence) fits the semantic field of "preponderance" or "majority share". The example "predomination of blues" is analogous to "predominance of technology". Just as blues are the main color, technology is the main sector.
    *   In financial contexts, when an index has a "predominance" of a certain sector, it means that sector has the greatest weight or presence. This fits Sense 2's definition of being "more noticeable" (prominent) or the prevailing element better than Sense 1's definition of "dominant over others" (which implies a subject-object relationship of power). Although the distinction is subtle, Sense 2 (prevalence/prominence) is the standard usage for compositional descriptions (like demographics, colors, market sectors), whereas Sense 1 is often used for geopolitical or hierarchical power.

    *   Let's double-check the WordNet hierarchy.
        *   Sense 1 (1:26:00) is under `dominance` -> `condition` -> `state`. It inherits the "power over others" vibe.
        *   Sense 2 (1:07:00) is under `prominence` -> `feature` -> `attribute`. It refers to a quality/attribute of being prominent/noticeable.
    *   Does the NASDAQ *have* the attribute of technology predominance? Yes. Is technology the "most noticeable" or "prevailing" feature? Yes.
    *   Does the NASDAQ hold a "state of dominance over others"? The sentence structure ("with a technology predominance") suggests a compositional attribute, not a geopolitical power struggle.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the better fit. It describes the characteristic of the index where technology is the prevailing element.

4.  **Final Verification:**
    *   Context: "NASDAQ, with a technology predominance"
    *   Sense 1: Dominance/Power.
    *   Sense 2: Prominence/Prevalence/Noticeable quality.
    *   Paraphrase: The NASDAQ, characterized by the prevalence of technology stocks...
    *   This matches Sense 2's definition "quality of being more noticeable than anything else".

    *   Result: Sense2.

1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form**: The target is "volume" (plural "volumes").
2.  **Analyze the context**:
    *   Sentence: "It remains within a narrow margin; trading **volumes** have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the case until the end of the year."
    *   Domain: Financial markets, stock exchange.
    *   Meaning: The phrase "trading volumes" refers to the amount or quantity of shares traded. The phrase "volumes have become very weak" describes a low quantity of activity.
3.  **Evaluate the candidate senses**:
    *   *Sense 1 (volume%1:23:00::)*: "the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object" (e.g., gas expansion). This is physical spatial volume. Not applicable to stock trading.
    *   *Sense 2 (volume%1:07:03::)*: "the property of something that is great in magnitude" (synonyms: bulk, mass). Examples: "buy it in bulk", "mass of correspondence". This is about largeness or quantity in a general sense, often physical. While related to quantity, "trading volume" is a specific quantitative measure, but this sense seems more about the "bigness" or "mass" quality.
    *   *Sense 3 (volume%1:06:00::)*: "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together" (synonyms: book). Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 4 (volume%1:10:00::)*: "a publication that is one of a set of several similar publications". Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 5 (volume%1:23:01::)*: "a relative amount". Examples: "mix one volume...". This refers to a specific numerical quantity or amount of a substance. In financial contexts, "volume" refers to the quantity of shares traded. It fits the concept of "amount".
    *   *Sense 6 (volume%1:07:02::)*: "the magnitude of sound". Not applicable.

    *Re-evaluating Sense 2 vs Sense 5*:
    *   Sense 2 emphasizes "great magnitude" (bulk/mass). The gloss says "the property of something that is great in magnitude". This is tricky. Often in WordNet, "volume" in the sense of "amount of trading" is linked to specific quantities.
    *   Sense 5 definition is "a relative amount". The example is "mix one volume...".
    *   Let's check standard WordNet mappings for financial volume.
    *   WordNet 3.1 often maps "volume" (amount) to sense 1:23:00 (spatial) or related nodes, or sometimes 1:07:00 (magnitude).
    *   However, looking at the provided candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1 is specifically 3D space.
        *   Sense 2 is "great in magnitude" (bulk/mass).
        *   Sense 5 is "a relative amount".

    Let's look at the specific gloss for Sense 2: "the property of something that is great in magnitude". The example is "he received a mass of correspondence". This implies a large amount. In the context "trading volumes have become very weak", "weak" implies the magnitude is *small*, not "great". This makes Sense 2 (which requires "great in magnitude" per definition) a poor fit semantically for the word itself (though the concept of magnitude is close).

    Let's look at Sense 5: "a relative amount". This fits the idea of "trading volume" being a specific measured amount (number of shares). The phrase "trading volumes" refers to the amount of trading.

    Is there a better mapping?
    In many WSD datasets (like SemCor or OntoNotes), "trading volume" is often mapped to a sense dealing with quantity.
    Let's look closer at Sense 2. Synonyms are "bulk, mass". "Trading volume" isn't usually synonymous with "trading bulk".
    Sense 5: "a relative amount". While the example is chemical ("mix one volume..."), the definition "a relative amount" captures the quantitative nature of "trading volume" better than the definition of Sense 2 ("great in magnitude").
    However, there is another sense often found in WordNet for "volume": "the magnitude of something in a particular direction". But that's not listed here.

    Let's reconsider Sense 2. Is "volume" in the sense of "trading volume" defined as "the property of something that is great in magnitude"? No, you can have low volume. Sense 2 seems to define "volume" as *large* volume (synonyms: bulk, mass). Therefore, Sense 2 is incorrect for a context where volume can be "weak" (low).

    Let's reconsider Sense 5. Definition: "a relative amount". Trading volume is an amount (of shares). This fits the semantic class of "amount" or "quantity". Even though the example is specific to ratios, the definition is the most appropriate for "amount/quantity".

    Let's check if Sense 1 is the intended target via metaphorical extension? No, that's usually strictly spatial.

    Let's check if there is a general "amount/quantity" sense hidden here.
    Sense 5: "a relative amount".
    Context: "trading volumes have become very weak".
    Meaning: The amount of trading has become weak.
    Sense 5 is the best fit among the choices provided because it defines volume as an "amount". Sense 2 defines volume as "great magnitude" (which contradicts "weak volumes"). Sense 1 is 3D space.

    Therefore, Sense 5 is the correct choice. It captures the core meaning of "amount" or "quantity" which is what financial volume represents.

    Let's double check WordNet structure.
    WordNet 3.0:
    1. volume -- (the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object...)
    2. bulk, mass, volume -- (the property of something that is great in magnitude...) -> This is Sense 2 in the list.
    3. book, volume -- (physical objects...)
    4. volume -- (a publication that is one of a set...)
    5. volume -- (a relative amount; "mix one volume...") -> This is Sense 5 in the list.
    6. volume, loudness, intensity -- (the magnitude of sound...)

    Context: "trading volumes".
    If the volume is "weak", it is a small amount.
    Sense 2 ("great in magnitude") is semantically incompatible with "weak volume" if we adhere strictly to the definition provided. If volume = greatness, then weak volume is a contradiction in terms under that sense.
    Sense 5 ("a relative amount") allows for the amount to be high or low. "Trading volumes" are amounts of activity. This fits best.

    Result: Sense 5.

    One nuance: Sometimes financial "volume" is mapped to Sense 1 (amount of space) in very broad ontologies, but Sense 5 is the "amount/quantity" sense provided here. The definition "relative amount" is the closest to "quantity". The example for Sense 5 is specific (ratios), but the gloss "a relative amount" applies to the quantity of trading.

    Therefore, index 5.

Context:
Wall Street closes without momentum, slowed by a strengthening dollar The New York Stock Exchange closed with no particular heading on Friday, in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the United States and a strengthening dollar: the Dow Jones gained 0.63% but the NASDAQ dropped 0.03%. According to final closing figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points, whereas the NASDAQ, with a technology predominance, fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points. The wider Standard & Poor's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37% (4.06 points) to 1 106.41 points. Frankly, the market is very calm, observes Mace Blicksilver of Marblehead Asset Management. It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the <t>case</t> until the end of the year. The trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators, which "have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery", summarised Charles Schwab's analysts.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    The sentence is: "It remains within a narrow margin; trading volumes have become very weak, and I think that this will remain the **case** until the end of the year."
    The phrase "remain the case" refers to the situation or state of affairs described previously (market is calm, narrow margin, weak trading volumes).
    The speaker is saying: "I think this situation/state of affairs will continue until the end of the year."

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" (instance, example).* Usually refers to a specific instance of an event or condition. "It was a case of bad judgment." While close, "the case" usually refers to a state of reality rather than just an "instance".
    *   *Sense 2: "a special set of circumstances" (event).* "It may rain in which case the picnic will be canceled." This is also about circumstances, often hypothetical or conditional.
    *   *Sense 3: "a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...".* Legal context. Not applicable here.
    *   *Sense 4: "the actual state of things".* Example: "that was not the case". This fits perfectly. The sentence "I think that this will remain the case" is semantically equivalent to "I think this situation/state of things will remain true."
    *   *Sense 5: "a portable container...".* Physical object. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 6: "a person requiring professional services".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 7: "a person who is subjected to experimental...".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 8: "a problem requiring investigation".* Detective/police context. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 9: "a statement of facts and reasons...".* Argumentative context. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 10: "the quantity contained in a case".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 11: "nouns or pronouns... grammatical case".* Linguistics context. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 12: "a specific state of mind that is temporary".* E.g., "a case of the jitters". Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 13: "a person of a specified kind".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 14: "a specific size and style of type...".* Typography. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 15: "an enveloping structure...".* Biology. Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 16: "the housing or outer covering...".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 17: "the enclosing frame around a door...".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 18: "(printing) the receptacle...".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 19: "bed linen...".* Not applicable.
    *   *Sense 20: "a glass container...".* Not applicable.

3.  **Compare Sense 1, Sense 2, and Sense 4:**

    *   *Sense 1 (occurrence/instance):* "It was a case of bad judgment."
    *   *Sense 2 (special set of circumstances/event):* "In that event..." "It may rain in which case..."
    *   *Sense 4 (the actual state of things):* "That was not the case."

    The context uses the phrase "remain the case". This is a fixed expression where "the case" means "the truth" or "the reality" or "the actual state of things". The speaker asserts that the current market conditions (calm, narrow margin) constitute the reality/state of things, and this reality will persist.

    Sense 2 is often used in conditional structures ("in which case"). Sense 1 implies a specific example or occurrence of a phenomenon. Sense 4 specifically defines "case" as "the actual state of things". This aligns perfectly with the usage "remain the case" (remain the reality/state of affairs).

    Example provided for Sense 4: "that was not the case".
    Target sentence: "this will remain the case".
    These are semantically identical structures (copula + the case).

    Therefore, Sense 4 is the correct choice.
