Context:
The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical challenge. Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations as well as service users. There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common. Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative <t>study</t> as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries.

The target word is "study" in the context: "The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials..."

The context clearly indicates a published document describing findings. "The Foundation recently published a comparative study" - this matches sense 3: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" with synonyms "report, written report" and example "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale".

Sense 1 is "a detailed critical inspection" (synonym: survey). This could potentially fit since a study involves inspection, but the context specifically mentions it was "published" and is "based on 195 personal interviews", indicating it's a written document/report.

Sense 3 is the best fit.

The context is: "The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."

The target lemma is "part".
The target surface form is "part".

Let's look at the senses:
1. part%1:24:00:: - something determined in relation to something that includes it | synonyms=portion, component part, component, constituent | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript
2. part%1:06:00:: - something less than the whole of a human artifact | synonyms=portion | examples=the rear part of the house; glue the two parts together
9. part%1:09:00:: - one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | synonyms=section, division | examples=the written part of the exam; the finance section of the company

The phrase is "as part of the EPOC project".
"part of the project" indicates that the study is a component or constituent of the larger project.
Sense 1 fits best: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> "part of the EPOC project" means the study is a constituent or component of the project. The example "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" also uses "part of".

Let's check Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole". Usually, a project has parts, but saying "published a study as part of the project" aligns better with Sense 1 (component, constituent, something determined in relation to something that includes it) or maybe 9. Wait, Sense 1 is "something determined in relation to something that includes it" which is quite broad. The example "I read a portion of the manuscript" fits.
Sense 9 is "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided". "part of the project" could be a section or division.
However, Sense 1 covers "part of something bigger", "part of the manuscript".

Let's look closely at Sense 1 vs 9.
Sense 1: part%1:24:00:: - something determined in relation to something that includes it | synonyms=portion, component part, component, constituent.
Sense 9: part%1:09:00:: - one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | synonyms=section, division.

"published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project"
Is the project "divided" into sections? Or is the study a "component" of the project?
Often "as part of" means "as a component of".
Let's see the synonyms for Sense 1: component, constituent. The EPOC project includes this study as a component. Sense 1 seems very suitable. "Part of the EPOC project" -> something determined in relation to something that includes it.

Wait, is there any other sense?
Sense 12: contribution, share - "the part played by a person in bringing about a result". Not this one, as "as part of" is not "the part played by".

Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2:
Sense 2: something less than the whole of a human artifact. Examples: the rear part of the house. Not quite.

Sense 1: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript" -> part of the EPOC project.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "extent" in the phrase "the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."

Here, "extent" refers to the degree or point to which something extends - in this case, the degree to which direct participation can humanise work. This is an abstract measure of degree/limit, not a physical distance, area, or volume.

Sense 1: "the point or degree to which something extends" - examples: "the extent of the damage," "the full extent of the law" - this is about degree/measure in an abstract sense.

Sense 2: "the distance or area or volume over which something extends" - examples: "the vast extent of the desert," "an orchard of considerable extent" - this is about physical spatial extent.

The context "the extent to which direct participation can humanise work" clearly matches sense 1, as it refers to the degree to which something happens, not a physical distance or area.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "direct" in the phrase "direct participation".
Context: "assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."
"Direct participation" refers to employees/users participating directly (without intermediaries) in decision-making or work processes.

Sense 2: "having no intervening persons, agents, conditions" | synonyms=unmediated | examples="in direct contact with the voters".
This fits perfectly with "direct participation", meaning participation without intermediaries (e.g., workers participating directly rather than through unions or representatives).

Let's check Sense 3: "straightforward in means or manner or behavior or language or action". Maybe, but "direct participation" in industrial relations/EPOC (Employee Direct Participation in Organisational Change) specifically refers to unmediated participation (as opposed to representative participation).

Sense 2 is "having no intervening persons, agents, conditions". This aligns with the concept of "direct participation" in organizational contexts, where employees participate directly rather than through representatives.

So Sense 2 is the best choice.

The target word is "participation" in the context: "The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."

Context analysis:
- The text discusses involvement of users, participants, social partners in various activities (conferences, service planning, service provision).
- The specific sentence: "direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability"
- This refers to workers/employees participating directly in work activities or decision-making processes.
- It's about the act of sharing in activities of a group (workers participating in work processes).

Sense 1: "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" - synonyms: engagement, involvement, involution - examples: "the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities"
Sense 2: "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" - synonyms: involvement

The context talks about "direct participation" in work - this is about actively taking part in activities, being engaged in work processes. Sense 1 seems more appropriate because it's about the *act* of sharing in activities, not just a *condition* of sharing something in common.

Also, the broader context discusses involving people in service planning and provision, participation in conferences - all acts of engaging in activities.

Sense 1 is the better fit.

The target word is "work" in the sentence: "The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."

The context discusses social exclusion, public welfare services, employment, and participation.
The sentence talks about "direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."
This is about the workplace or employment. "Humanising work" refers to making the work environment or the job itself more humane for workers.
Sense 1: activity directed toward making or doing something.
Sense 3: the occupation for which you are paid (employment). "humanising work" -> humanising employment/the job.
Sense 6: a place where work is done (workplace). "humanising work" could mean humanising the workplace.

Let's look at the candidates:
1. work%1:04:00:: | activity directed toward making or doing something
3. work%1:04:01:: | the occupation for which you are paid | employment
6. work%1:06:01:: | a place where work is done | workplace

In sociological and industrial relations contexts (which this clearly is, mentioning "social partners", "profitability", "participation"), "humanising work" usually refers to improving the conditions or nature of employment/labor (Sense 3 or 1). However, "work" often broadly refers to the activity of working or the employment itself. Sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid". Does "humanising work" mean humanising the occupation or the activity of working? It often implies the activity of working or the overall concept of labor/employment. Let's look at Sense 3: "the occupation for which you are paid". In WordNet, work (employment) is the occupation. But "humanising work" might also be Sense 1 (activity directed toward making or doing something) as a general concept of labor.

Let's check WordNet sense 3 (employment): "he is looking for employment; a lot of people are out of work"
Let's check WordNet sense 1: "she checked several points needing further work"

In European industrial relations contexts, "humanisation of work" is a standard phrase referring to improving working conditions and job design, corresponding to the concept of "work" as employment/labor (Sense 3 or 1). In WordNet, sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid".
Wait, Sense 1 is "activity directed toward making or doing something". Labor as an activity.
Is "work" in "humanise work" employment or activity?
Actually, the sentence says "humanise work". Work here is uncountable and refers to the general activity of labor/employment. Sense 3 is "the occupation for which you are paid". It fits well. But wait, work can also be an activity (Sense 1).

Let's re-read the context carefully: "social partners", "profitability", "direct participation". This is about industrial relations. The "humanisation of work" is a well-known topic in industrial relations (e.g., Humanisation of Work programme in the EU). It refers to improving the nature of work/jobs. Thus, it's Sense 3 (employment/occupation) or Sense 1 (activity). Sense 3 is defined as "the occupation for which you are paid | employment".

Is there a better fit?
Sense 3 is a noun meaning "the occupation for which you are paid".
I will output 3. Let me double check if Sense 1 could be better. "activity directed toward making or doing something". Humanising the activity of working. But "employment" or "job" fits the context of "increasing profitability" and "social partners".
I will guess 3. Actually, often "work" as an uncountable noun for labor corresponds to employment or activity. Sense 3 is "employment".
Let's consider 3.

The target word is "increasing" in the context: "direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."

Let's analyze the context. The subject is "direct participation" and the verb is "humanise" and "increasing".
"direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."
Does "direct participation" increase profitability (transitive, making profitability bigger - sense 2), or does profitability increase (intransitive, becoming bigger - sense 1)?
Wait, "direct participation" is the subject. "increasing" is a participle here modifying the subject or acting as a complement.
"direct participation can humanise work while [direct participation is] increasing profitability"
Here, "direct participation" does the action of increasing profitability. It makes profitability bigger.
So it's a transitive usage. "make bigger or more".
Sense 2: make bigger or more. Examples: The boss finally increased her salary; The university increased the number of students it admitted.

Let's check sense 1: become bigger or greater in amount. Examples: The amount of work increased.
In the context, the subject "direct participation" is actively doing the increasing of "profitability". "increasing profitability" -> make profitability bigger.
Therefore, it is a transitive verb usage, corresponding to sense 2.

Let's double check.
"direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability."
"while" + present participle "increasing".
"direct participation" is the agent. It increases profitability. So it makes profitability bigger.
Sense 2 is "make bigger or more".
Sense 1 is "become bigger or greater in amount" (intransitive).
Here the verb has a direct object "profitability". Thus, it's transitive.

So sense 2 is the best choice.

This means the study is founded on or established on the basis of those interviews.

Sense 1: "use as a basis for; found on" - examples: "base a claim on some observation" - This fits perfectly. The study is based on (uses as a basis for) the interviews.

Sense 2: "situate as a center of operations" - examples: "we will base this project in the new lab" - This is about physical location, not applicable here.

Sense 3: about free-basing cocaine - clearly not applicable.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "personal" in the phrase "personal interviews." Let me analyze the context.

"The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners..."

"Personal interviews" here means interviews conducted in person, face-to-face, as opposed to telephone or written questionnaires.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. concerning or affecting a particular person or his or her private life and personality
2. particular to a given individual
3. of or arising from personality
4. intimately concerning a person's body or physical being
5. indicating grammatical person

Hmm, none of these perfectly capture "done in person" or "face-to-face." But let me think about which is closest.

Sense 1: "concerning or affecting a particular person or his or her private life and personality" - This is about something concerning a person's private life. "Personal interviews" in this context doesn't really mean interviews about private life.

Sense 2: "particular to a given individual" - This is about something specific to an individual.

Sense 4: "intimately concerning a person's body or physical being" - This could relate to "in person" / physical presence.

Actually, "personal interviews" typically means interviews conducted face-to-face, i.e., involving physical presence. Sense 4 mentions "person's body or physical being," which is closest to the idea of being physically present.

But wait, sense 1 could also work - "concerning a particular person" could mean involving direct, individual interaction with a person.

Let me reconsider. The phrase "personal interviews" in survey methodology means interviews conducted face-to-face, in person. This is about the physical presence of the interviewer and interviewee.

Sense 4 with "intimately concerning a person's body or physical being" - the example is "personal hygiene." This sense seems to be about things related to one's body.

Actually, thinking more carefully, "personal" in "personal interviews" is closest to sense 1 - concerning a particular person. The interviews are conducted with individual persons directly, as opposed to impersonal methods like mail surveys. It's about direct interaction with a person.

But the definition of sense 1 says "concerning or affecting a particular person or his or her private life and personality." The "private life and personality" part doesn't fit well here.

Let me reconsider sense 2: "particular to a given individual." This also doesn't quite fit.

Hmm, none of the senses perfectly capture the meaning of "in person" or "face-to-face." But I think sense 1 is the closest because it relates to involving a particular person directly. The interviews are personal in the sense that they involve direct, individual engagement with each person.

Actually, I think sense 1 is the best fit. "Personal" here means pertaining to or involving a particular person directly - as opposed to an impersonal survey method. The interviews are conducted with individual persons.

The context says "195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries." This is about conducting interviews to gather information for a study. The interviews are personal interviews where information is elicited from senior officials.

Sense 1: "the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by journalists" - examples: "my interviews with teenagers revealed a weakening of religious bonds"

Sense 2: "a conference (usually with someone important)" - synonyms: consultation, audience - examples: "he had a consultation with the judge; he requested an audience with the king"

The context is about a research study where interviews are conducted to gather data. The interviews are with senior officials to collect information for the study. This matches sense 1 better - "the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited)". The example "my interviews with teenagers revealed a weakening of religious bonds" is very similar in nature to the context - research interviews.

Sense 2 is more about a formal meeting/conference with someone important, like an audience with the king or a consultation with a judge. That doesn't fit the research context here.

So sense 1 is the best choice.

The target word is "senior" in the context "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

Let's analyze the senses:
1. older; higher in rank; longer in length of tenure or service - example: "senior officer"
2. used of the fourth and final year in United States high school or college - synonyms: fourth-year
3. advanced in years; (`aged' is pronounced as two syllables) - synonyms: aged, elderly, older

In the context, "senior officials" refers to officials who are higher in rank or have longer tenure in their organizations. This aligns with sense 1, which includes "higher in rank; longer in length of tenure or service" and has the example "senior officer."

Sense 2 is about US high school/college students, which doesn't fit.
Sense 3 is about elderly people, which doesn't fit here as it's about rank/position, not age.

The best sense is 1.

The target word is "social" in the phrase "social partners".

The context mentions "social partners" in the sentence: "The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

"Social partners" is a European term referring to organizations representing workers and employers (trade unions and employers' associations). It relates to human society and its members, societal structures.

Let's look at the senses:
1. relating to human society and its members (societal) - social institutions, societal evolution
2. living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups
3. relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society
4. composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability
5. tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind
6. marked by friendly companionship with others

"Social partners" in the context of European industrial relations refers to representatives of labor and management. It relates to human society and its members (societal institutions). Sense 1 fits best, as "social partners" are institutions of society, relating to societal structures.

Let's double check. The text talks about "public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations", "Ministry of Social Affairs", "social exclusion". All of these use "social" in the sense of "relating to human society and its members".

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Looking at the context, "representatives" refers to senior officials of social partners who act as delegates or proxies for national level peak organisations. They are persons who represent these organisations in interviews for a study. This is not about U.S. congresspeople (sense 3), nor about typical examples/instances (sense 4). While sense 2 (spokesperson/advocate) is plausible, the context describes these officials as representatives in the general sense of persons standing for and acting on behalf of their organisations, not specifically as advocates or spokespersons for a particular policy or purpose. The broader, more general sense fits best here.

{"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "representatives" in the context: "The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

Let me analyze the context:
- The "representatives" here are senior officials of social partners
- They represent "national level peak organisations" in European countries
- They are people who represent others (organizations)

Sense 1: "a person who represents others" - This is a general sense, fits the context where senior officials represent organizations.

Sense 2: "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose" with synonyms like spokesperson, interpreter, voice. The example mentions "spokespersons for all the major organs of government." This is about being a spokesperson/advocate for a policy or purpose.

Sense 3: "a member of the United States House of Representatives" - Not applicable, this is about European countries.

Sense 4: "an item of information that is typical of a class or group" - This is about examples/instances, not people.

The context is about senior officials who represent organizations. They are acting as representatives of national level peak organisations.

Sense 1 is the most general - "a person who represents others." The officials represent the organizations.

Sense 2 is more specific - "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose." The example given is about spokespersons for government organs. In the context, the senior officials are being interviewed as representatives of organizations - they speak for and represent these organizations. The context mentions "social partners" which are typically organizations like trade unions and employer associations, and their officials represent them.

Looking more closely at sense 2: "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose" with synonyms "spokesperson, interpreter, voice" and example "the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government." This seems quite fitting - the senior officials are representing the organizations' interests/policies, similar to how spokespersons represent government organs.

However, sense 1 is also fitting as a broader category: "a person who represents others."

The key question is whether these representatives are specifically acting as advocates/spokespersons (sense 2) or more generally as persons who represent others (sense 1).

In the context, the senior officials are being interviewed as representatives of national level peak organisations. They represent these organizations in the sense of being their delegates/proxies. This is more about being a person who represents an organization (sense 1) rather than specifically being an advocate or spokesperson for a policy (sense 2).

Actually, let me reconsider. The context mentions "social partners" which in European labor relations refers to organizations like trade unions and employer associations. The senior officials of these organizations represent them in negotiations, policy discussions, etc. They are indeed acting as advocates who represent these organizations' policies and purposes.

But the example for sense 2 mentions "spokespersons for all the major organs of government" - this is quite similar to the context where we have officials representing organizations.

I think sense 2 fits well here because:
1. The senior officials are representing the organizations' policies/purposes
2. The example in sense 2 is about spokespersons for government organs, similar to officials representing organizations
3. The context is about a study where these representatives provide information on behalf of their organizations

But sense 1 is also valid as a more general interpretation.

Let me think about this more carefully. The definition of sense 1 is simply "a person who represents others" - this is very general. Sense 2 is "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose" - this implies active advocacy.

In the context, the senior officials are being interviewed as representatives of organizations. They are providing information and perspectives on behalf of these organizations. This could be seen as representing the organizations' policies and purposes.

Given the examples and synonyms:
- Sense 2 has synonyms like "spokesperson, interpreter, voice" and example "the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government"
- The context involves officials representing organizations at a European level, being interviewed for a study

I think sense 2 is the better fit because the context is about officials who represent organizations' interests and policies, similar to how spokespersons represent government organs. The word "as" before "representatives" also suggests they are acting in the capacity of representing the organizations' policies/purposes.

Actually, I want to reconsider again. Sense 1 is "a person who represents others" - this is the most general sense and would include anyone who represents another person or group. Sense 2 narrows this down to "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose."

The context says "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations." These officials are representing the organizations - they are the organizations' representatives. This could be either sense 1 or sense 2.

The key distinction is whether "representative" here means:
1. A person who represents others (general sense) - sense 1
2. An advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose (spokesperson sense) - sense 2

In this context, the officials are being interviewed as representatives of organizations. They are providing the organizations' perspectives and information. This is similar to being spokespersons for the organizations.

Given that the example for sense 2 mentions "spokespersons for all the major organs of government" which is quite similar to "senior officials... as representatives of national level peak organisations," I think sense 2 is the better fit.

However, I can also see an argument for sense 1. The officials are simply representing their organizations - they are persons who represent others (the organizations).

Let me look at this from another angle. In common usage, when we say someone is a "representative" of an organization, we typically mean they are a delegate or proxy who speaks for and acts on behalf of the organization. This aligns with sense 2's definition of "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose."

But sense 1's definition "a person who represents others" also encompasses this meaning.

The fact that sense 2 has specific synonyms (spokesperson, interpreter, voice) and a specific example about spokespersons for government organs suggests it's more about the spokesperson/advocate role. In the context, the officials are indeed acting as spokespersons/representatives of their organizations.

I'll go with sense 2 because:
1. The context is about officials representing organizations' interests/policies
2. The example in sense 2 is similar to the context (spokespersons for government organs vs. officials representing organizations)
3. The officials are acting as advocates/voices for their organizations

Wait, but let me reconsider one more time. Sense 1 is "a person who represents others" - this is the most basic, general sense. It would include delegates, representatives, agents, etc. Sense 2 is specifically about an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose, with synonyms like spokesperson.

In the context, "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations" - these officials are representing the organizations. They could be seen as:
- Persons who represent others (the organizations) - sense 1
- Advocates who represent the organizations' policies/purposes - sense 2

The context is about a study that involves interviewing these officials as representatives of organizations. The officials provide information and perspectives on behalf of their organizations. This is a representative/advocate role.

I think the answer depends on how we interpret "representative" in this context. If we see it as a general term for someone who represents an organization, it's sense 1. If we see it as specifically an advocate/spokesperson role, it's sense 2.

Given that the context is about a formal study where officials are interviewed as representatives of organizations, and the example for sense 2 is about spokespersons for government organs (similar to officials representing organizations), I believe sense 2 is the more appropriate choice.

Actually, let me reconsider once more. The definition of sense 2 says "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose." The word "advocate" implies active support and promotion of a cause. In the context, the officials are being interviewed as representatives of organizations - they are providing information and perspectives, but not necessarily advocating for specific policies.

On the other hand, "represents someone else's policy or purpose" does fit - the officials are representing their organizations' policies and purposes.

I think the key is the example: "the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government." This is very similar to the context where officials represent organizations. Both involve people representing organizations/institutions.

I'll go with sense 2.

Hmm, but actually I want to reconsider one more time. Let me think about what "representative" means in this specific context.

"The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

Here, "as representatives of" means the officials are acting in the capacity of representatives. They are representing the organizations. This is the general sense of "a person who represents others" (sense 1).

Sense 2 is more specific - "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose." The emphasis is on advocacy and representing policies/purposes. While the officials do represent their organizations' interests, the primary meaning here is that they are persons who represent the organizations (sense 1).

Also, sense 2's synonyms (spokesperson, interpreter, voice) suggest a more specific role of being a voice for someone else. In the context, the officials are representatives in a broader sense - they are delegates/proxies of the organizations.

I'm now leaning towards sense 1 because:
1. The general meaning "a person who represents others" fits the context well
2. The officials are representatives of organizations in a broad sense, not specifically as advocates/spokespersons
3. Sense 2's emphasis on advocacy and being a spokesperson may be too specific for this context

But I'm still uncertain. Let me think about this differently.

In WordNet, sense 1 is the hypernym of sense 2 (and sense 3). Sense 2 is a more specific type of representative - one who advocates for someone else's policy or purpose.

The question is whether the "representatives" in the context are:
- General representatives (sense 1) - persons who represent others
- Specific representatives (sense 2) - advocates who represent policies/purposes

In the context, the officials are representing organizations in a study. They are providing the organizations' perspectives and information. This is a representative role, but is it specifically an advocacy role?

I think the context suggests a more general representative role rather than specifically an advocacy role. The officials are representatives of the organizations, but they are not necessarily advocating for specific policies. They are being interviewed to provide information and perspectives.

Given this analysis, I'll go with sense 1 - "a person who represents others."

But wait, let me look at the example for sense 2 again: "the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government." This example is about people attending a meeting as representatives of government organs. This is quite similar to the context where officials are interviewed as representatives of organizations.

The difference is that in the example, the representatives are specifically "spokespersons" - they are the voice of the government organs. In the context, the officials are "senior officials" who are acting "as representatives" of organizations.

I think the context is more general - the officials are representatives of organizations, not specifically spokespersons or advocates. They could be any senior official who represents the organization, not just a spokesperson.

Therefore, I'll go with sense 1 - "a person who represents others."

Actually, I realize I should also consider the broader context. The text mentions "social partners" which in European labor relations refers to organizations like trade unions and employer associations. These organizations have representatives who negotiate and advocate for their members' interests. In this context, "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations" suggests that these officials are representing the organizations' interests and policies.

But the definition of sense 2 emphasizes "advocate" - someone who actively supports a cause. While the officials may advocate for their organizations' interests, the primary meaning in the context is that they are persons who represent the organizations.

I'll stick with sense 1 - "a person who represents others."

Let me finalize my decision. The context is about senior officials who are interviewed as representatives of organizations. They are persons who represent the organizations (sense 1). While they may also advocate for their organizations' policies (sense 2), the primary meaning is the general sense of being a representative.

Actually, I want to look at this one more time. The context says "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations." The word "as" here is important - it indicates the capacity in which the officials are acting. They are acting "as representatives" of the organizations.

This means they are representing the organizations - they are persons who represent others (the organizations). This is sense 1.

Sense 2 would be more appropriate if the context emphasized that the officials are advocating for specific policies or purposes of the organizations. But the context simply says they are representatives of the organizations.

I'll go with sense 1.

Hmm, but I realize I keep going back and forth. Let me try to be more decisive.

Key factors:
1. The officials are "representatives of national level peak organisations" - they represent organizations
2. The example for sense 2 is "the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government" - this is about people representing government organs
3. Sense 1 is "a person who represents others" - general sense
4. Sense 2 is "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose" - specific sense with emphasis on advocacy

The context is about officials representing organizations in a study. The example for sense 2 is about spokespersons representing government organs at a meeting. Both involve people representing organizations/institutions.

The key difference is that sense 2 emphasizes advocacy and being a spokesperson/voice for someone else. In the context, the officials are not specifically described as spokespersons or advocates - they are simply "representatives" of the organizations.

However, the fact that the example for sense 2 is so similar to the context (people representing organizations at an event) suggests that sense 2 might be the intended meaning.

I think I need to make a decision and stick with it. Let me consider:
- Sense 1 is the most general and would always apply when someone represents another
- Sense 2 is more specific and applies when someone is an advocate/spokesperson for another's policy/purpose

In the context, the officials are representing organizations. They are being interviewed to provide the organizations' perspectives. This could be seen as representing the organizations' policies/purposes (sense 2) or simply as being persons who represent the organizations (sense 1).

Given that:
1. The context is about a formal study where officials represent organizations
2. The example for sense 2 is similar (spokespersons for government organs)
3. The officials are providing the organizations' perspectives, which aligns with representing their policies/purposes

I'll go with sense 2 - "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose."

No wait, I think I'm overcomplicating this. Let me re-read the context one more time.

"The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

The officials are "representatives of national level peak organisations." They are persons who represent these organizations. This is the most straightforward interpretation - sense 1.

Sense 2 would require the officials to be specifically advocates or spokespersons for the organizations' policies/purposes. While this could be inferred, the context doesn't explicitly emphasize this role.

I'll go with sense 1 - "a person who represents others."

Final answer: sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word "national" is used in the phrase "national level peak organisations".
The context discusses representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries.
This implies organisations that operate at the level of a whole nation/country (as opposed to European or local/regional).
Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" (national hero; national anthem)
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" (the national government; national elections)

Let's look at "national level peak organisations". The "national level" means the level of the entire country.
Sense 3 seems very appropriate because it says "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" with the example "national government".
Sense 1 is "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
Sense 3 fits "national level" better since it emphasizes "an entire nation", often used with government, level, etc.
Let's re-read sense 1 and 3.
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country
"national level" refers to the level of the entire nation, as opposed to regional or European level. Sense 3 is very fitting.

Let's double check sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country". This is the most general sense.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - examples: the national government; national elections.
"National level" is very similar to "national government" in that it applies to the whole country.
I will go with sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "level" in the context: "representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

Here, "national level" refers to a relative position or degree of value in a graded group (e.g., local level, regional level, national level, European level). This is about hierarchical tiers of organizations.

Sense 2: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" with synonyms "grade, tier" and example "lumber of the highest grade."

Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" with synonyms "degree, stage, point."

Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" with synonyms "layer, stratum."

The phrase "national level" refers to a tier in a hierarchy (local, regional, national, European). This fits sense 2 best - "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" with synonyms including "tier."

Sense 3 could also work but it emphasizes a position in a process or continuum, which is less about hierarchical grading.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate with "tier" as a synonym, matching the hierarchical nature of "national level" organizations.

The target word is "organisations" in the context of "peak organisations" referring to national-level organizations like social partners (e.g., trade unions, employer associations). These are groups of people who work together, representing interests at a national level.

Sense 2: "a group of people who work together" with synonym "organization" fits best. These are entities like trade unions and employer federations that represent social partners.

Sense 1 is about administration/governing bodies, which is more specific to governance. The context refers to peak organizations as representative bodies, not necessarily administrative bodies.

Sense 2 is the most general and fitting sense here - "a group of people who work together."
