Target lemma: phase
Target surface form: phase
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 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 <t>phase</t>. 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 target lemma and surface form:** "phase" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The text discusses football (soccer), specifically Real Madrid players getting yellow cards on purpose to serve a suspension in a less important match (against Auxerre) so they start the *next* round clean.
    *   The sentence containing the target: "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 <t>phase</t>."
    *   Context clues: "leader of its group", "next game of league", "following". The "phase" refers to the next stage of the tournament (likely the knockout stage following the group stage).
    *   Meaning: A distinct time period or stage in a sequence of events (the tournament structure).

3.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `phase%1:28:00::` | Definition: "any distinct time period in a sequence of events" | Synonyms: "stage" | Examples: "we are in a transitional stage...".
        *   Fit: This fits perfectly. A tournament has stages/phases (group stage, knockout stage). The text refers to the next distinct time period in the sequence of the championship.
    *   **Sense 2:** `phase%1:26:00::` | Definition: "(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter..."
        *   Fit: Incorrect. The context is sports, not chemistry.
    *   **Sense 3:** `phase%1:28:01::` | Definition: "a particular point in the time of a cycle..."
        *   Fit: Incorrect. This refers to physics/wave cycles.
    *   **Sense 4:** `phase%1:07:00::` | Definition: "(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination..."
        *   Fit: Incorrect. The context is sports, not astronomy.

4.  **Select the best sense:** Sense 1 describes a distinct time period in a sequence of events. The "following phase" of a sports tournament corresponds exactly to the next stage (e.g., the round of 16).

5.  **Format the output:** JSON object with the sense index.
    *   Sense 1 is the correct one.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word:** The target word is "committee" (noun).
2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax.
    *   Two players (Alonso and Ramos) deliberately got yellow cards to serve a suspension in a "dead rubber" game.
    *   The sentence containing the target is: "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."
    *   The specific phrase is "committee of discipline of the UEFA". This refers to a formal body within the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) responsible for disciplinary actions.
    *   This is an official, formal group established by the governing body (UEFA) to adjudicate on matters of discipline. It is not a grassroots or self-constituted group.
3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `committee%1:14:00::`
        *   Definition: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
        *   Synonyms: "commission"
        *   Examples: "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" (humorous definition, implies formal meetings/procedures).
        *   Fit: This fits the context perfectly. The "committee of discipline" is a delegated group (part of UEFA) formed to consider disciplinary matters. It is an official "commission".
    *   **Sense 2:** `committee%1:14:01::`
        *   Definition: "a self-constituted organization to promote something"
        *   Synonyms: "citizens committee"
        *   Fit: This does not fit. A UEFA disciplinary committee is not self-constituted (it is appointed/constituted by the larger organization UEFA) and its purpose is regulatory/disciplinary, not merely "promoting" something in the way a citizens committee might promote a cause. It is not a grassroots group.
4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the standard definition of an official committee or commission within an organization.
    *   Sense 2 is specific to ad-hoc or grassroots "citizens committees".
    *   The UEFA disciplinary committee is an official body delegated to handle specific matters.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "game"
    *   Target surface form: "games"
    *   Context sentence: "Finally, the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two <t>games</t> the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players."
    *   Broader context: The text discusses a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax, expulsions, yellow cards, sanctions by UEFA, and the punishment handed down to the coach (Jose Mourinho). The coach is sanctioned to miss "two games".

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `game%1:04:00::`: "a contest with rules to determine a winner". This is a very general definition. It fits, but is it specific enough for the context of a ban/suspension? Usually, when someone is banned for "two games", it refers to specific scheduled events (matches).
    *   2. `game%1:04:03::`: "a single play of a sport or other contest". Example: "the game lasted two hours". This sense refers to a specific instance or occurrence of a match.
    *   3. `game%1:04:01::`: "an amusement or pastime". Not fitting. This is professional sport.
    *   4. `game%1:05:00::`: "animal hunted...". No.
    *   5. `game%1:28:00::`: "tennis division...". No.
    *   6. `game%1:23:00::`: "the score...". No.
    *   7. `game%1:13:00::`: "flesh of wild animals". No.
    *   8. `game%1:09:00::`: "secret scheme...". No.
    *   9. `game%1:06:00::`: "game equipment...". No.
    *   10. `game%1:04:02::`: "occupation...". No.
    *   11. `game%1:04:04::`: "frivolous behavior". No.

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

    *   Context: The coach is sanctioned with "two games". This means he is suspended from being on the bench for two specific instances of matches/contests.
    *   Sense 1 defines "game" as the abstract concept of a contest with rules. While true, the usage "two games" implies a count noun referring to specific occurrences.
    *   Sense 2 defines "game" as "a single play of a sport or other contest". This fits the countable nature of the phrase "two games". When we say someone is banned for "two games", we are counting the instances/occurrences of the contest.

    Let's look at the examples provided in the candidates:
    *   Sense 1 example: "you need four people to play this game". (Refers to the game as a type of activity).
    *   Sense 2 example: "the game lasted two hours". (Refers to a specific instance/event).

    In the sentence "sanctioned with two games", "games" refers to specific events (e.g., the match next week and the match the week after). Therefore, Sense 2 is the precise fit. Sense 1 is too abstract (the concept of the contest). The suspension applies to specific *occurrences* of matches.

4.  **Confirming the specific sense:**
    The text is about football. "Two games" refers to two matches.
    Definition 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest".
    This matches perfectly.

    Let's double-check if there's any ambiguity.
    Could it be sense 1? If I say "Baseball is a game", I use sense 1. If I say "I watched the game last night", I use sense 2. The context here is about the specific matches Mourinho must sit out. "Sanctioned with two games" = suspended for two specific match occurrences.

    Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.

    Index mapping:
    1 -> `game%1:04:00::`
    2 -> `game%1:04:03::`
    ...

    Target index: 2.

        *   This refers to a machine/equipment. Jose Mourinho is definitely not a flight simulator.
4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   The context clearly refers to a person (Jose Mourinho) who is in charge of training/managing the team.
    *   Sense 1 applies to a person who trains others.
    *   Sense 2 applies to a machine.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   **Surface form:** amounts (plural noun)
    *   **Context snippet:** "...sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic **amounts** the implied players."

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses UEFA sanctions against Real Madrid players and their coach.
    *   Mourinho was sanctioned with "two games" (suspension).
    *   The players were sanctioned with "different economic amounts".
    *   The adjective "economic" modifying "amounts" is the crucial clue here. It directly points to money/finances.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `amount%1:21:00::`
        *   Definition: "a quantity of money"
        *   Synonyms: sum, sum of money, amount of money
        *   Examples: "he borrowed a large sum", "the amount he had in cash was insufficient"
        *   *Fit:* This definition explicitly mentions "money". The context mentions "economic amounts". Fines in sports are monetary sums. This fits perfectly.

    *   **Sense 2:** `amount%1:07:00::`
        *   Definition: "the relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion"
        *   Examples: "an adequate amount of food for four people"
        *   *Fit:* This is a more general quantitative measure relative to a need or criterion. While fines are amounts relative to rules, the specific collocation "economic amounts" strongly suggests specific money units rather than just a relative magnitude.

    *   **Sense 3:** `amount%1:03:00::`
        *   Definition: "how much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify"
        *   Synonyms: measure, quantity
        *   *Fit:* This is the most general sense of quantity. Again, while true, the specific domain of "economic amounts" (fines) maps more specifically to money.

    *   **Sense 4:** `amount%1:09:00::`
        *   Definition: "a quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers"
        *   Synonyms: sum, total
        *   *Fit:* This refers to the mathematical result of addition. While a fine is a sum, the usage here refers to the sanction itself (the fine), which is a quantity of money, not strictly the mathematical operation of adding numbers.

4.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is defined as "a quantity of money".
    *   The context refers to "economic amounts" imposed as sanctions (fines).
    *   Synonyms for Sense 1 include "sum of money".
    *   This is a clear case of the monetary sense of "amount".

5.  **Format the Output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object: `{"sense_index": X}`.
    *   The chosen sense is Sense 1 (index 1).

    3. amount%1:03:00:: (quantifiable mass/count)
    4. amount%1:09:00:: (mathematical sum)

    The phrase "economic amounts" means "sums of money". Sense 1 is the specific "quantity of money" sense.

    Final Decision: Sense 1.

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 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. 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 <t>players</t>. The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses "Alonso and Ramos", "Real Madrid", "Ajax", "European Champions League", "yellow card", "football", "UEFA".
    *   The target word is "players" (plural of player).
    *   The sentence containing the target is: "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 <t>players</t>."
    *   The context explicitly mentions Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos as the "two players of Real Madrid".
    *   The context is clearly about sports (specifically football/soccer).

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" | Synonyms: participant. This fits the sports context perfectly. Football is a game. Alonso and Ramos are participating in the game.
    *   **Sense 2:** "someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)" | Synonyms: musician, instrumentalist. This does not fit the context. No musical instruments are mentioned.
    *   **Sense 3:** "a theatrical performer" | Synonyms: actor, histrion, thespian, role player. This does not fit. While "acting" might be metaphorically applied to diving or simulation in football, they are described as "players of Real Madrid" in a game context, not actors on a stage.
    *   **Sense 4:** "a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously". This does not fit the context at all.
    *   **Sense 5:** "an important participant (as in a business deal)". This is often used in business contexts ("a major player in the industry"). While sports involves business, the primary meaning here is the participant in the sport/game itself, not the business tycoon sense.

3.  **Select the Best Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 is the direct definition of athletes participating in a sport/game.
    *   The context mentions "game played", "Real Madrid", "football".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

4.  **Format the Output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object: `{"sense_index": X}` where X is the index of the chosen sense.
    *   The index for Sense 1 is 1.

5.  **Final Check:**
    *   Context: Sports/Football.
    *   Target: Players (people playing the sport).
    *   Sense 1: Person participating in a game.
    *   Match: Perfect.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Lemma and Surface Form:**
    *   Lemma: `provocation`
    *   Surface Form: `provocation`

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The text discusses football (soccer) players (Alonso and Ramos) intentionally getting yellow cards to "clean" their record before the knockout stages (getting rid of cards for the following phase).
    *   The specific sentence is: "The <t>provocation</t> of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice..."
    *   Here, "provocation" refers to the *act* of causing the referee to show the yellow card.
    *   The players "deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card."
    *   They are inciting/triggering/causing a specific outcome (the card) through their actions.
    *   Is it "unfriendly behavior that causes anger"? Not really. It's a tactical foul/time-wasting strategy. It's not necessarily about making the referee angry (though it might), but about *causing* the card to happen.
    *   Is it "needed encouragement"? No.
    *   Is it "something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action"? Yes. The action (time-wasting) provokes the result (the card). The phrase "provocation of a yellow card" implies creating a situation where a yellow card is the result.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `provocation%1:04:00::` | definition=unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment | synonyms=aggravation, irritation.
        *   *Evaluation:* This fits contexts where someone is annoyed or angered. While the referee might be annoyed, the primary goal described in the text is the *tactical generation* of a sanction, not necessarily the expression of hostility or the causing of resentment. The "provocation of a yellow card" is a cause-and-effect relationship regarding the rules, not necessarily an emotional interpersonal conflict (though it could be interpreted that way, sense 2 is broader and fits the instrumental nature better).

    *   **Sense 2:** `provocation%1:16:00::` | definition=something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or stirring to action | synonyms=incitement, incitation.
        *   *Evaluation:* This sense focuses on the causal link: Action A incites Result B. The text describes actions (time-wasting) specifically designed to incite the referee to show a card. The phrase "provocation of a yellow card" aligns perfectly with "incitement of a yellow card" or "causing a yellow card." It acts as a means to an end (the card). This fits the tactical nature of the "provocation" described.

    *   **Sense 3:** `provocation%1:10:00::` | definition=needed encouragement | synonyms=incitement | examples="the result was a provocation of vigorous investigation".
        *   *Evaluation:* The example "provocation of vigorous investigation" is structurally similar to "provocation of a yellow card". However, the definition "needed encouragement" implies a positive or necessary spur to do something good or necessary. In the football context, the card is a sanction (punishment), not "needed encouragement" for the referee, nor is it usually framed as "needed encouragement" in the sense of this gloss (which seems closer to a catalyst for a positive/neutral process). Sense 2's definition "something that incites or provokes" is neutral regarding the nature of the action (positive/negative) and fits the mechanical aspect of triggering a sanction.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1 implies hostility/anger ("unfriendly behavior", "aggravation").
    *   Sense 2 implies causation/incitement ("incites", "arousing to action").
    *   The text describes a calculated, cynical move ("deliberately wasted time", "get rid of the cards"). While it is unsportsmanlike, the specific phrase "provocation of a yellow card" describes the act of *triggering* the card. The players are provoking the referee into issuing a card.
    *   Is it "unfriendly behavior"? Maybe. But "provocation of a yellow card" sounds more like "causing a yellow card to occur" (Sense 2) than "angering the referee" (Sense 1), though the referee must show the card. The focus is on the *card* (the action/result), not the *emotion*.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "incitement, incitation". "The incitement of a yellow card" makes sense in this specific context of tactical fouling (carding).
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 synonyms: "aggravation, irritation". "The aggravation of a yellow card" doesn't make sense. "The irritation of a yellow card" doesn't make sense.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct fit. It captures the instrumental aspect of the action—provoking a specific outcome (the card).

5.  **Final Selection:**
    *   Sense 2 is the best fit because the context describes an action taken to deliberately cause a specific reaction (the yellow card) from the referee. It is an incitement to action (the showing of the card), rather than simply an act of aggression or unfriendliness.

6.  **Formatting the Output:**
    *   Target: Sense 2.
    *   JSON format: `{"sense_index": 2}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word**: The target is "circumstances" (plural noun). The context sentence is: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar <t>circumstances</t> as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football."

2.  **Analyze the context**:
    *   The text discusses a specific event: Real Madrid players (Alonso and Ramos) getting yellow cards deliberately near the end of a game they had already won.
    *   The specific sentence refers to "similar circumstances as this one".
    *   What does "circumstances" refer to here? It refers to the specific conditions surrounding the event: the state of the game (already won), the timing (near the end), the tactical advantage (clearing cards for the next phase).
    *   It refers to the situational conditions or the set of facts surrounding the specific event (the game situation).

3.  **Evaluate the candidate senses**:

    *   **Sense 1**: `circumstance%1:26:01::` | definition="a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity".
        *   *Fit*: This fits well. The scoreline (winning), the time remaining, and the rules of the tournament are conditions accompanying the activity (the match) that influence the event (getting the yellow card).

    *   **Sense 2**: `circumstance%1:26:02::` | definition="the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event" | synonyms="context, setting".
        *   *Fit*: This also fits. It refers to the context or setting of the event. "In similar circumstances" is a standard collocation often meaning "in a similar context/situation."
        *   *Comparison with Sense 1*: Sense 1 focuses on "a condition" (singular or plural conceptually as components), while Sense 2 focuses on "the set of facts... surrounding". In the phrase "in similar circumstances", it often implies the aggregate situation.
        *   Let's look closer at the definition. Sense 1: "a condition...". Sense 2: "the set of facts...".
        *   In the sentence "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances...", the word "circumstances" acts as the background or the specific situational context.
        *   WordNet often distinguishes these fine-grained senses. Sense 2 explicitly lists "context" and "setting" as synonyms. Does the sentence mean "in a similar context"? Yes. Does it mean "in similar conditions"? Also yes.
        *   Usually, when "circumstances" is used in the phrase "under/in the circumstances" or "similar circumstances", it refers to the situation or context as a whole (Sense 2) rather than a specific condition (Sense 1).
        *   However, the distinction is notoriously subtle. Let's look at the examples provided.
            *   Sense 1 example: None provided in the prompt list, but standard WN examples include "he found himself in straitened circumstances". (Wait, that's usually 'financial circumstances' -> different sense often, or Sense 1). Let's look at the provided gloss: "a condition that accompanies...".
            *   Sense 2 example: "the historical context". This suggests Sense 2 is about the 'background' or 'setting'.
        *   Let's look at the target sentence again: "...in similar circumstances as this one...".
        *   "This one" refers to the specific game situation (winning, end of game, clearing cards).
        *   Is it a "condition" (Sense 1) or a "context/setting" (Sense 2)?
        *   In standard WSD tasks, Sense 1 is often the catch-all for "situation/case", while Sense 2 is specific to "context".
        *   Let's look at the WordNet hierarchy/definitions again.
            *   Sense 1 (1:26:01): `state, circumstance` - a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity.
            *   Sense 2 (1:26:02): `context, circumstance, setting` - the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event.
        *   The phrase "in similar circumstances" is very common.
        *   Is the "circumstance" here a condition? Or the context?
        *   The "context" implies a surrounding environment (setting). The "condition" implies a specific factor (e.g., the weather, the state of the pitch).
        *   The text describes a complex situation: winning, end of game, wanting to clear cards. This is a "set of facts surrounding a situation". This aligns better with Sense 2 (context/setting).
        *   However, Sense 1 is very broad. "A condition that accompanies...".
        *   Let's check Sense 3: "information that should be kept in mind..." (consideration). "In similar considerations" doesn't fit.
        *   Let's check Sense 4: "formal ceremony". Doesn't fit.

    *   **Sense 1 vs Sense 2**: This is the crux.
        *   Sense 1 is often used for specific conditions (e.g., "under no circumstances"). "Under no circumstances" = under no conditions.
        *   Sense 2 is "context". "In similar circumstances" = "in a similar context".
        *   The text says: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances...".
        *   This refers to the scenario/context.
        *   Many WSD systems map "circumstances" in the phrase "in/under circumstances" to Sense 1 (conditions). For example, "under the circumstances" often means "given the conditions".
        *   However, Sense 2 has "context" and "setting" as synonyms. The text is comparing this specific game context to other similar game contexts.
        *   Let's look at the WordNet definitions directly from the source (mentally).
            *   WN 3.1/3.0:
            *   1. `circumstance` (n) a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity.
            *   2. `context`, `circumstance`, `setting` (n) the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event.
        *   There is a subtle recursive definition in Sense 2 ("set of facts or circumstances").
        *   Let's look at the usage "in similar circumstances". Is it synonymous with "in similar conditions" or "in a similar context"?
        *   "In similar conditions" usually refers to physical conditions (weather, pitch).
        *   "In similar context" refers to the situational facts. The facts here are: winning, end of game, strategic fouling.
        *   Therefore, Sense 2 seems slightly more accurate because it captures the "setting" or "scenario" aspect rather than just a singular "condition" (though 'circumstances' is plural).
        *   *Counter-argument*: "In similar circumstances" is a frozen phrase. Is it Sense 1 or 2?
        *   In SemCor or similar corpora, "under/in circumstances" is often tagged as Sense 1 (conditions). Why? Because "circumstances" are seen as the conditions affecting the situation.
        *   Let's re-read the Sense 1 gloss: "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity". The activity is the match/football. The conditions are the specific game state.
        *   Sense 2 gloss: "the set of facts... that surround...".
        *   Often, Sense 2 is for things like "historical circumstances" or "family circumstances" where it provides the backdrop.
        *   Let's look at the synonyms provided in the prompt for Sense 2: `context, setting`.
        *   Does the sentence mean "in similar context"? Yes.
        *   Does the sentence mean "in similar condition"? Yes.
        *   Which is the *better* fit?
        *   The sentence is discussing the *situation* as a whole.
        *   Let's look at Sense 1 again. If I say "reduced circumstances" (financial), it's usually Sense 1. If I say "pomp and circumstance", it's Sense 4.
        *   Let's look at Sense 3 (consideration). Not this one.
        *   Let's try to differentiate Sense 1 and 2 more sharply.
            *   Sense 1 emphasizes the *influencing factor*. E.g., "a circumstance attending the event".
            *   Sense 2 emphasizes the *environment/backdrop*. E.g., "the circumstances of the case".
        *   The phrase "in similar circumstances" usually means "in a similar situation".
        *   WordNet often conflates "situation" and "circumstance" in Sense 1 (state).
        *   Actually, checking WordNet 3.0:
            *   Sense 1: `circumstance` -- a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity.
            *   Sense 2: `context`, `circumstance`, `setting` -- the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event.
        *   Many dictionaries treat "circumstances" (plural) as "conditions".
        *   "The provocation... in similar circumstances..."
        *   Here, the circumstances are the conditions of the game.
        *   Let's check a similar example from a corpus if possible (simulated).
        *   Example: "Under the circumstances, I had no choice." -> Sense 1 (conditions).
        *   Example: "He described the circumstances of the accident." -> Sense 2 (context/facts surrounding).
        *   The prompt sentence: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one..."
        *   It compares the specific context of this game to others. "As this one" refers to the "one" situation/case.
        *   However, Sense 2 is defined as "set of facts ... surrounding".
        *   Sense 1 is "condition that ... influences".
        *   The context highlights that this behavior is frequent "in the world of football". It describes the specific facts: winning, time, cards.
        *   I lean towards **Sense 1**. Why? Because "in similar circumstances" is an idiom/collocation functioning as "under similar conditions". Sense 2 (Context/Setting) often appears as "the circumstances surrounding X" or "the circumstances of X". When used with "in/under", it typically refers to the operative conditions (Sense 1).
        *   Let's test the substitution.
            *   "The provocation of a yellow card in similar **conditions**..." (Works well). -> Sense 1.
            *   "The provocation of a yellow card in similar **context**..." (Works, but sounds slightly awkward compared to conditions/situations).
        *   Let's check the synonym "consideration" for Sense 3. The text discusses if it is unsportsmanlike. That is the consideration. But the target word "circumstances" refers to the game state, not the moral decision. So Sense 3 is out.
        *   Back to 1 vs 2.
        *   If I look at the WordNet online interface for "circumstances" (plural):
            *   Often maps to Sense 1.
            *   Definition: "your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you)". (This is usually a different sense in WN 3.0, Sense 4: 'fate, destiny, lot, luck, circumstances').
            *   Wait, the prompt provided specific senses. I must stick to them.
            *   The prompt's Sense 1: "condition that accompanies...".
            *   The prompt's Sense 2: "set of facts... synonyms: context".
            *   Let's look at the "examples" in Sense 2: "the historical context".
            *   Let's look at Sense 1: (no example provided in prompt, but WN has "easily was absorbed into the ambient circumstances" or "straitened circumstances").
            *   "Straitened circumstances" -> Sense 1 (financial conditions).
            *   "Under/in the circumstances" -> Sense 1.
            *   "The circumstances of the case" -> Sense 2.
            *   The phrase here is "in similar circumstances".
            *   This parallels "under the circumstances" or "in these conditions".
            *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the standard classification for this prepositional usage.

    *   Let's double check Sense 2. If it meant "context", it might be phrased as "The circumstances of the provocation were similar..." Here it is "in similar circumstances". The preposition "in" suggests the state/condition the agent is immersed in.
    *   Sense 1: State, condition.
    *   Sense 2: Context, setting.
    *   While the "circumstances" provide the context, the usage "in circumstances" frames them as the conditions in which an action occurs.
    *   Let's verify with the synonyms.
    *   Synonyms for 1: (None listed, but WN has 'condition' often associated).
    *   Synonyms for 2: `context`, `setting`.
    *   "In similar **settings**"? Plausible.
    *   "In similar **conditions**"? Plausible.
    *   However, Sense 1 is the most generic "state/condition" sense. Sense 2 is a specific nuance about "surrounding facts".
    *   Usually, "circumstances" (plural) in the phrase "in/under ... circumstances" is Sense 1.
    *   Example from WordNet browser for Sense 1: "warned by the circumstances". "reduced circumstances".
    *   Example for Sense 2: "the historical context".
    *   The sentence "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances..." is describing a situation/condition of the game.
    *   Sense 1 seems the dominant sense for this syntactic frame ("in/under [adj] circumstances").
    *   Sense 2 is typically "the circumstances [of something]".

    *   Let's check if "set of facts" (Sense 2) fits better.
    *   "The provocation... in similar set of facts..." - No.
    *   "The provocation... in similar condition..." - Yes.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1 definition carefully: "a condition that accompanies or influences some event or activity".
    *   The "activity" is the game/football. The "circumstances" (winning, end of game) are conditions accompanying and influencing the activity/event (provocation).
    *   This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 2 definition: "the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event".
    *   Synonyms: context, setting.
    *   While the text talks about the context, the word "circumstances" in the phrase "in similar circumstances" denotes the conditions of the game.
    *   Standard WSD annotation usually tags "in/under circumstances" as Sense 1.

    Decision: Sense 1.

    Wait, let me check if there's any ambiguity about Sense 3.
    Sense 3: "information that should be kept in mind when making a decision".
    The text talks about UEFA making a decision about sanctions. But the sentence "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances..." does not refer to information for a decision. It refers to the game situation. Sense 3 is incorrect.

    Final check: Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    "In similar circumstances" refers to the state of affairs. "State of affairs" maps to "state" (Sense 1).
    Sense 2 ("context/setting") is often a hypernym or related concept, but Sense 1 captures the "condition" aspect better for the predicative usage "in circumstances". Sense 2 is often referential ("the circumstances of the case").
    If I say "The circumstances of the yellow card were suspicious", that's Sense 2.
    If I say "He got a yellow card in difficult circumstances", that's Sense 1.
    The prompt sentence is: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances..."
    This is the latter case. It describes the condition in which the provocation happens.
    Therefore, Sense 1.

Target lemma: practice

Context:
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 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. 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. The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new <t>practice</t>, but rather frequent in the world of football. It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport.

The target word is "practice" used in the context: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football. It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport."

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. practice%1:04:00:: - "a customary way of operation or behavior" (synonyms: pattern)
2. practice%1:04:02:: - "systematic training by multiple repetitions" (synonyms: exercise, drill)
3. practice%1:04:04:: - "translating an idea into action" (synonyms: praxis)
4. practice%1:04:03:: - "the exercise of a profession"
5. practice%1:09:00:: - "knowledge of how something is usually done"

The context refers to provoking a yellow card as a customary behavior ("frequent in the world of football", "part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules"). Sense 1 ("a customary way of operation or behavior") fits perfectly. Sense 5 ("knowledge of how something is usually done") doesn't fit well ("it is not a new knowledge"). Sense 1 is the best match.

Wait, let me double check the sense keys and indices.
1. sense_key=practice%1:04:00:: | definition=a customary way of operation or behavior
5. sense_key=practice%1:09:00:: | definition=knowledge of how something is usually done

The context says: "The provocation of a yellow card... is not a new practice, but rather frequent... part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules". This clearly points to a customary way of behavior.

Therefore, sense index 1.

1.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   Sentence: "The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the **world** of football."
    *   Subject: Football (soccer), specific tactics (provoking yellow cards), unsportsmanlike behavior.
    *   Prepositional phrase: "world of football".
    *   Meaning: The phrase refers to the sphere, realm, or domain of the sport of football. It encompasses the players, coaches, rules (written and unwritten), and culture surrounding the sport. It does not refer to the planet Earth, the physical universe, or the entirety of humanity. It refers to a specific "circle" or "domain" of interest/activity.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (world%1:17:01::):** "everything that exists anywhere" (Universe).
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. The sentence is not about the cosmos.

    *   **Sense 2 (world%1:14:01::):** "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Synonyms: "domain".
        *   *Evaluation:* This looks promising. The phrase "world of football" refers to the people involved in football (players, managers, fans) and the domain of that interest. The synonym "domain" fits well with "sphere" or "realm". The definition mentions "a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Football is a shared interest. The phrase "world of [noun]" often maps to this sense (e.g., "the academic world", "the business world").

    *   **Sense 3 (world%1:09:00::):** "all of your experiences that determine how things appear to you" (Reality/subjective world).
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. This is about subjective perception ("his world was shattered").

    *   **Sense 4 (world%1:17:00::):** "the 3rd planet from the sun" (Earth/globe).
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. It's not the physical planet.

    *   **Sense 5 (world%1:14:02::):** "people in general considered as a whole" (Public/populace).
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. This refers to the general public, not a specific subset defined by a specific activity like football.

    *   **Sense 6 (world%1:17:02::):** "a part of the earth that can be considered separately". Examples: "the outdoor world", "the world of insects".
        *   *Evaluation:* This is also a strong contender. The example "the world of insects" parallels "the world of football" structurally. However, "world of insects" usually refers to the environment or the ecological sphere. "World of football" refers more to a social construct or a domain of human activity (a distinctive group of people with shared interest). Let's look closely at Sense 2 vs Sense 6.
        *   Sense 2 definition: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Examples: "the Western world".
        *   Sense 6 definition: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately". Examples: "the outdoor world", "the world of insects".
        *   "World of football" is a social domain. It is about the community and the sphere of activity. While Sense 6 is often used for "the world of science" or "the world of art", Sense 2 specifically mentions "a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Football is a shared interest. The "world of football" implies the community of people involved in that interest. Therefore, Sense 2 is the better fit for human activities/communities defined by interest. Sense 6 tends to lean towards environmental spheres or broader classifications ("insect world"), whereas Sense 2 highlights the "group of people with shared interest" aspect found in social contexts. Let's check WordNet hierarchies usually associated. "World of football" = the domain of football. "Domain" is a synonym for Sense 2. Sense 6 synonyms aren't listed in the prompt, but typically this sense (part of the earth) is used for physical or biological spheres. "World of football" is abstract and social.

    *   **Sense 7 (world%1:09:01::):** "the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven".
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. Religious/secular distinction.

    *   **Sense 8 (world%1:05:00::):** "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth".
        *   *Evaluation:* Incorrect. Not all humanity, just the football community.

3.  **Refine the Choice (Sense 2 vs Sense 6):**
    *   Context: "...frequent in the **world** of football."
    *   Sense 2: "people in general; especially a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Synonyms: "domain".
    *   Sense 6: "a part of the earth that can be considered separately".
    *   "World of football" is an idiomatic expression referring to the sphere of the sport. WordNet specifically defines Sense 2 with the phrase "a distinctive group of people with some shared interest". Football players, managers, and fans are such a group. The synonym "domain" fits the phrase "domain of football" perfectly.
    *   Sense 6 examples ("outdoor world", "world of insects") suggest a classification of the environment or existence. While "world of sports" could technically fit Sense 6 in some interpretations, Sense 2 is the specific WordNet entry for "groups of people with shared interest" (e.g., the "art world", "academic world"). The "football world" is a social sphere.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the precise WordNet mapping for human social spheres defined by interest.

4.  **Final Decision:** Sense 2.

5.  **Format Output:** JSON object.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target:** The target lemma is "football". The context is about Real Madrid, Ajax, Champions League, yellow cards, UEFA, and Jose Mourinho. These are all terms associated with association football (soccer).

2.  **Analyze Candidate Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "any of various games played with a ball... in which two teams try to kick or carry or propel the ball into each other's goal" (synonyms: football game). This covers soccer, American football, rugby, etc.
    *   Sense 2: "the inflated oblong ball used in playing American football". This refers to the object (the ball), specifically the American football.

3.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "Real Madrid", "Ajax", "European Champions League" -> This is soccer (association football).
    *   "Jose Mourinho" -> A famous soccer manager.
    *   "yellow card", "second yellow card" -> Rules specific to soccer (and some other sports, but highly specific here).
    *   "world of football" -> The sentence says "world of <t>football</t>". This usage refers to the sport, the domain, or the game system in general, not a physical object (ball).

4.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   Sense 2 is incorrect for two reasons: it refers to the *ball*, not the sport, and it specifies *American* football. The context is clearly European soccer (Real Madrid vs Ajax).
    *   Sense 1 refers to the game/sport. While the definition mentions "round or oval" and "kick or carry", encompassing various codes, it is the correct semantic category (the sport/game). The specific instance in the text is soccer, which falls under "any of various games played with a ball...".

5.  **Refine the Choice:**
    *   The text uses "football" to mean the sport/activity.
    *   Sense 1 is "football game" (the sport).
    *   Sense 2 is the "ball" (object) used in American football.
    *   The text is about European soccer, but Sense 1 is the only one defining "football" as a game/sport. Even though the WordNet definition is broad ("any of various games..."), it captures the meaning of "the world of football" (the world of the game).

    *   *Self-Correction/Nuance Check:* Often WordNet has a specific entry for "soccer" or "association football". Let me check if the provided candidate list is exhaustive or if I must pick from the provided list.
    *   The prompt says "Candidate senses: 1... 2...". I must pick between these two.
    *   Sense 1 fits the concept of "the sport". Even though the definition is broad, "any of various games" includes the game being discussed (soccer).
    *   Sense 2 is specific to the object (ball) and the American variety. The context is the sport (European) and the institution ("world of football").

6.  **Final Decision:** Sense 1 is the correct choice because the context refers to the sport/game itself, not the ball, and specifically the European variety, which falls under the general definition of "football game" (Sense 1), whereas Sense 2 is the physical object used in American football.

    *   Index: 1.

    *   Domain: Sports (football/soccer).
    *   Modifiers: "unwritten rules".
    *   Meaning: These are norms or practices that govern behavior in the sport, but they are not formally codified in the official rulebook (hence "unwritten"). They are part of the "ethos".

2.  **Evaluate Candidate Senses**:

    *   **Sense 1**: `rule%1:09:00::` | definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation.
        *   *Analysis*: This is a strong candidate. "Customarily governs behavior" fits well with "ethos" and "unwritten". The example "short haircuts were the regulation" implies a custom. However, does it capture the sports context specifically?

    *   **Sense 2**: `rule%1:09:01::` | definition=something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula.
        *   *Analysis*: "Normative example" fits "unwritten", but usually, this sense is used for phrases like "the rule rather than the exception". The context here refers to specific guidelines for conduct within a specific domain (sport).

    *   **Sense 3**: `rule%1:10:00::` | definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript.
        *   *Analysis*: "Prescribed" usually implies written down or formally set down. The context emphasizes "unwritten". While the concept is similar, "prescribed" contradicts "unwritten".

    *   **Sense 8**: `rule%1:10:02::` | definition=directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess.
        *   *Analysis*: This is the specific "sports rule" sense. The context is explicitly about football. The phrase "unwritten rules" is a common idiom in sports referring to codes of conduct not in the official rulebook (Sense 8's definition implies official directions, but the compound "unwritten rules" modifies this concept).
        *   Let's look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 8.
        *   Sense 1 is general behavior/custom. Sense 8 is specific to games/sports.
        *   The text says "unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport". Even though they are unwritten, they function as the "rules of the game" in a sociological sense. If someone asks "What are the rules of football?", they usually mean the official laws (Sense 8). However, the phrase "unwritten rules of the game" is a specific sub-type of Sense 8 (or arguably Sense 1 applied to a sport).
        *   WordNet Sense 8 examples: "he knew the rules of chess". This usually refers to the codified rules.
        *   WordNet Sense 1 examples: "it was his rule to take a walk...". This refers to a habit/custom.

    *   Let's reconsider the phrase "unwritten rules". Is it a "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (Sense 1) or a deviation from "directions that define the way a game... is to be conducted" (Sense 8)?
    *   Usually, when we talk about "unwritten rules" in a sport, we are contrasting them with the "rules of the game" (Sense 8). The text contrasts the specific act (getting a yellow card on purpose) with the official sanctions, noting that this practice is part of the *unwritten* code.
    *   However, does the word "rules" here mean "regulations" (Sense 1) or "game rules" (Sense 8)?
    *   If I look at Sense 2: "something regarded as a normative example". This feels too abstract.
    *   If I look at Sense 1: "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This fits "unwritten" perfectly. It governs the players' behavior.
    *   If I look at Sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". "Directions" implies instruction/direction, often written. Unwritten rules aren't directions in that sense; they are customs.

    *   Let's check the hyponymy/hypernymy or specific usage.
    *   Sense 1 ("principle or condition that customarily governs behavior") seems to capture the nature of an "unwritten rule" better than Sense 8 ("directions that define the way a game..."). Sense 8 is for the Laws of the Game (FIFA rules). The text is discussing something *outside* the official laws (which are Sense 8), but which acts as a rule (Sense 1) within the sport's culture.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 seems more accurate for the compound "unwritten rules". They are customs (Sense 1), not official game directions (Sense 8).

    *   Wait, let's look at the constraints. WordNet glosses are schematic.
    *   Sense 1: "customarily governs behavior". "Customarily" aligns with "unwritten".
    *   Sense 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". While the context is a sport, the specific "rules" mentioned are the *unwritten* ones. Are they "directions"? Not really. They are customs/norms.
    *   However, is "game rule" the primary domain tag? If the lemma is used in a sports context, WSD systems often bias towards the sports sense.
    *   But "unwritten rules" is a specific idiom. "The unwritten rules of baseball", etc. These are norms/customs.
    *   Sense 1 synonyms: regulation (though "regulation" implies written often, the definition says "customarily").
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: convention. This is also very close. "The convention of not naming the main character".
    *   Sense 1 definition: "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    *   Sense 2 definition: "something regarded as a normative example".

    *   Let's look at the text again: "It is so extended that it part of the ethos, of the unwritten rules, but followed nonetheless by this sport."
    *   The text contrasts the "sanction" (official rules, Sense 8 or 3) with the "unwritten rules".
    *   These "unwritten rules" dictate that getting a yellow card to reset your card count for the next round (while missing a meaningless game) is acceptable strategy.
    *   This is a behavioral norm.
    *   Sense 1 examples: "it was his rule to take a walk..." (Personal custom).
    *   Sense 2 examples: "the convention of not naming the main character" (Cultural/Artistic norm).
    *   Sense 1 is often used for personal rules, but the definition "customarily governs behavior" is broad.
    *   Let's check Sense 8 again. "directions that define the way a game...". The unwritten rules define how the game is played *socially*, but they aren't directions.

    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
    *   Sense 2 (normative example/convention). "Violence is the rule not the exception". This usage is distinct.
    *   Sense 1 (governs behavior).
    *   The text says these rules are "followed". You follow a rule (Sense 1 or 8). You don't typically "follow" a "normative example" in the same way (you might emulate it).
    *   Sense 1 fits "governs behavior" and "customarily".
    *   Is Sense 8 completely out? If the target was just "rules of football", it would be Sense 8. But the modifier "unwritten" changes the semantic nature. They are not the official rules of the game.
    *   Linguistically, "unwritten rules" maps to **Sense 1**. They are customs/regulations of behavior (general sense), applied in a sports context.
    *   Let's check if Sense 8 can include "unwritten rules". Example: "He knew the rules of chess." (Implies official rules). If I say "He knew the unwritten rules of chess", I am creating a contrast using the general sense of rule (custom) in the domain of the specific sense.
    *   Therefore, the underlying sense of "rule" in "unwritten rule" is **Sense 1**.

    *   Let's double check Sense 2. Synonyms: convention, normal, pattern. "Unwritten rules" are conventions.
    *   However, Sense 1 definition "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" matches the function described: they are "followed" and they govern the players' actions (getting yellow cards). Sense 2 ("normative example") is slightly more passive (an example to be followed) rather than a governing principle.
    *   The example for Sense 2 "violence is the rule not the exception" refers to a state of affairs (the norm), not a code of conduct.
    *   Sense 1 example "it was his rule to take a walk" refers to a code of conduct.
    *   "Unwritten rules" is a code of conduct. Sense 1 fits best.

    *   One counter-argument: Sense 3 "prescribed guide for conduct". "Prescribed" is the problem. Unwritten is not prescribed (usually).
    *   Sense 8 "directions that define...". "Directions" is the problem.

    *   Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit. It encompasses customs that govern behavior.

    *   Let's verify Sense 1's index.
    *   1. sense_key=rule%1:09:00:: (a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior).
    *   2. sense_key=rule%1:09:01:: (something regarded as a normative example).
    *   ...
    *   8. sense_key=rule%1:10:02:: (directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted).

    *   Decision: The "unwritten rules" function as customs governing behavior. Sense 1.
    *   Wait, let me look at the Sense 1 synonyms again: "regulation". "Unwritten regulation" is an oxymoron to some degree, but "regulation" in WordNet can mean "a principle or condition...".
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 synonyms: "convention". "Unwritten convention" is a pleonasm? No, it works. But "rule" implies a stronger constraint than "convention" in this context ("unwritten rules" are strict).
    *   Sense 1 definition "customarily governs behavior" fits "ethos" and "followed". The "unwritten" modifier selects for the "customary" part of the definition, excluding the "written regulation" aspect often associated with the word "rule".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1.

    *   Indexing check:
    *   Sense 1 is index 1.
    *   Sense 2 is index 2.
    *   Sense 3 is index 3.
    *   Sense 8 is index 8.

    *   Let's consider if "unwritten rules" is a set phrase pointing to Sense 2 (convention).
    *   In WordNet, Sense 2 has synonym "convention".
    *   But "rule" implies "governs".
    *   Sense 1: "governs behavior". This is the active role described in the text ("followed... by this sport").
    *   Sense 2: "regarded as a normative example". This is a passive status.
    *   I will stick with Sense 1.

    *   Wait, is there a chance the system wants Sense 8 because it's a sport?
    *   If the sentence was "The referee enforced the rules", it would be Sense 8.
    *   The sentence is "unwritten rules... followed... by this sport".
    *   If I select Sense 8, I am saying these are "directions that define the way a game... is to be conducted". They *do* define the way the game is conducted informally. But "directions" usually implies the official Laws of the Game.
    *   The text explicitly contrasts this with the official sanctions/legality. "provocation of a yellow card... is not a new practice... unwritten rules".
    *   It acts as a counter-point to the official rules.
    *   Therefore, it falls back to the general sense of "customary principle governing behavior".
    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   Let's verify the numbering in the prompt list.
    *   1. rule%1:09:00:: (principle/condition governing behavior) -> Matches "customarily".
    *   2. rule%1:09:01:: (normative example) -> Matches "convention", but less "governing".
    *   3. rule%1:10:00:: (prescribed guide) -> "Prescribed" conflicts with "unwritten".
    *   8. rule%1:10:02:: (game directions) -> Specific to games, but "directions" conflicts with "unwritten".

    *   Choice: Sense 1.
