Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the <t>nation</t>'s congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "nation" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is about political "ticket splitting" in the United States.
- It mentions "the nation's congressional districts"
- It talks about presidential election years and percentages of districts choosing different parties.
- The phrase is "more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts"

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. nation%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic)
   - Examples: "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"
   - This refers to the political entity/government itself.

2. nation%1:14:01:: - the people who live in a nation or country (land, country)
   - Examples: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"; "the news was announced to the nation"
   - This refers to the populace, the people collectively.

3. nation%1:18:00:: - Carry Nation (the prohibitionist)
   - Clearly not relevant here.

4. nation%1:14:02:: - a federation of tribes (especially Native American tribes)
   - Example: "the Shawnee nation"
   - Not relevant in this political context about US congressional districts.

So it's between sense 1 and sense 2.

The phrase is "the nation's congressional districts".

Let me think about whether "nation" here refers to:
- The political entity/state (sense 1): "the country's congressional districts" - referring to the political body/territory
- The people (sense 2): "the people's congressional districts" - referring to the populace

In the context of "congressional districts", these are territorial/political divisions of the country. The phrase "the nation's congressional districts" means the congressional districts belonging to the country as a political entity.

However, looking at the examples for sense 2: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood" - here "nation" refers to the people (mood of the people). "the news was announced to the nation" - announced to the people.

For sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - the political entity. "African nations" - political entities.

In "the nation's congressional districts", we're talking about districts of the country. This seems closer to sense 1 (the political entity/territory), but sense 2 (the people in the country) could also work.

Wait, let me reconsider. In many contexts, "the nation" when used as a possessive like "the nation's" to mean "of the country" could map to either. But let's look at the specific examples and usage.

Actually, looking at WordNet sense distinctions:
- Sense 1 (nation%1:14:00::) is grouped with "state, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic" - this is the political entity sense.
- Sense 2 (nation%1:14:01::) is grouped with "land, country" - this is the people sense.

In the context: "more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose..."

Congressional districts are geographical/political subdivisions. When we say "the nation's congressional districts", we mean the districts of the country (the political entity).

But actually, looking at common usage, "the nation" in news/political reporting often refers to the country as a whole (the political unit). However, sense 2 specifically emphasizes "the people who live in a nation or country."

Let me look at the examples again:
Sense 1: "the state has elected a new president; African nations"
Sense 2: "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation"

In "the nation's congressional districts", if we substitute synonyms:
- Sense 1 synonyms: "the state's congressional districts", "the country's congressional districts", "the land's congressional districts" (though land is less common as possessive), "the commonwealth's congressional districts"
- Sense 2 synonyms: "the land's congressional districts", "the country's congressional districts"

Both have "country" as a synonym. But "the state" (sense 1 synonym) fits well: "the state's congressional districts."

However, I need to be careful. In WordNet, sense 2 is specifically the people. The gloss says "the people who live in a nation or country." So if the reference is to people, it would be sense 2. If it's to the political organization, it's sense 1.

In "the nation's congressional districts", are we talking about districts belonging to the people or to the political entity? Congressional districts are institutional/political entities, so they belong to the state/political body (sense 1). But colloquially, we might say it belongs to the country.

Wait, let me look at the phrase again: "more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts"

This is talking about a statistical fact about districts across the United States. "The nation" here stands for the United States as a whole - the country.

Actually, looking at similar WSD tasks, "nation" in phrases like "the nation's capital", "the nation's economy", "the nation's schools" often maps to sense 1 (the political body) because it refers to the country as an organized entity. But "the nation's mood", "the nation's conscience" maps to sense 2 (the people).

For "congressional districts", these are defined by the political entity. So sense 1 seems better.

But let me double-check. Is there any chance this is sense 2? "The people who live in a nation or country" - if we interpret "the nation's congressional districts" as "the congressional districts of the people", that seems less direct than "the congressional districts of the state/country."

Also, the context is about political organization: presidential elections, House of Representatives, congressional districts, parties. This strongly suggests the political entity sense (sense 1).

Therefore, the best sense is sense 1.

Wait, I should reconsider. Let me look at the exact wording of the glosses once more.

Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government"
Sense 2: "the people who live in a nation or country"

In "the nation's congressional districts", the districts are part of the political organization of the country. They are institutional structures. This aligns with sense 1.

Also, compare to the examples:
- "African nations" = political entities (sense 1)
- "the news was announced to the nation" = the people (sense 2)

"the nation's congressional districts" = the country's congressional districts (political entity) = sense 1.

I think sense 1 is the correct choice.

Actually, looking at it again, I wonder if "nation" in American political journalism is almost always sense 1 when referring to the US as a political unit. Yes, I believe so.

So my answer is sense_index: 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "choose" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - The sentence is: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."
 - The subject is "congressional districts" (which are geographical/political entities that can be said to "choose" via the voters in them)
 - The object is "a different party's candidate"
 - The action is selecting/electing a candidate from among alternatives (different parties)

 Candidate sense analysis:

 1. sense_key=choose%2:31:00:: | definition=pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives | synonyms=take, select, pick out | examples=Take any one of these cards; Choose a good husband for your daughter
    - This is the general sense of selecting from alternatives.
    - In the context, districts are selecting (voting for) candidates from different parties.
    - This fits well - the districts are picking/selecting candidates.

 2. sense_key=choose%2:31:02:: | definition=select as an alternative over another | synonyms=prefer, opt | examples=I always choose the fish over the meat courses in this restaurant; She opted for the job on the East coast
    - This sense involves preferring one thing over another, often with "over" or explicit comparison.
    - While there is an implicit comparison (different party than for House), the structure doesn't emphasize preferring one over another in the "opt for" sense.
    - The examples show personal preference decisions ("I always choose", "opted for").
    - The context is about electoral districts selecting candidates, not about preferring one alternative over another in the sense of personal preference/opt.

 3. sense_key=choose%2:31:01:: | definition=see fit or proper to act in a certain way; decide to act in a certain way | examples=She chose not to attend classes and now she failed the exam
    - This sense is about deciding to do something or not do something (often with "to" + verb).
    - The example shows "chose not to attend" - this is about deciding on a course of action.
    - In the target context, "choose" is followed by a noun phrase "a different party's candidate", not an infinitive verb phrase.
    - This doesn't fit.

 Comparison between sense 1 and sense 2:
 - Sense 1 is the general "select from alternatives" sense.
 - Sense 2 is more specific to preferring one alternative over another (often with "over").
 - In the context, congressional districts are selecting candidates. This is a straightforward selection from available options (candidates from different parties).
 - The phrase "choose a different party's candidate" is about the act of selection/voting, not about preferring one option over another in the opt/prefer sense.
 - Sense 1 examples: "Take any one of these cards" (selecting from available options), "Choose a good husband" (selecting from candidates).
 - This matches the electoral context where districts (via voters) select from available candidates.

 Therefore, sense 1 (choose%2:31:00::) is the best fit.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 2. The definition says "select as an alternative over another". In the context, the districts are choosing a candidate from one party for President and potentially another for House, or rather, the district's choice for President is from a different party than their choice for House. But the verb "choose" here is taking the direct object "a different party's candidate". It's not structured as "choose X over Y" in the sentence itself, though the context implies a contrast.

 Actually, looking closely: "choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives"
 This is comparing the choice for White House vs the choice for House. But the verb "choose" is being used to mean the districts select/pick the candidate.

 Sense 1 is the most general and fits best. The act of voting/selection in elections is typically sense 1. "The voters chose the Democratic candidate" - this is sense 1 (selecting from alternatives).

 Sense 2 would be more like "The district chose the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate" or "chose to vote for the Democrat rather than the Republican". But here it's simply stating that they selected a candidate from a different party.

 Also, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
 - choose%2:31:00:: is the first sense, usually the most common/general.
 - The examples for sense 1 include "Choose a good husband for your daughter" which is similar to choosing a candidate.
 - The examples for sense 2 involve food preferences and job preferences, which are more about personal preference/opt.

 I should go with sense 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful. The user asks for the "sense_index" which corresponds to the numbered list provided (1, 2, or 3).

 So the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

 Let me double-check sense 3 to make sure I'm not missing something. Sense 3 is "see fit or proper to act in a certain way" and takes an infinitive: "chose not to attend". The target is "choose a different party's candidate" (noun phrase object), not an infinitive. So definitely not sense 3.

 Between 1 and 2:
 Sense 2: "select as an alternative over another" - this could apply if we view the election as choosing between alternatives (parties). But the key is the examples and synonyms: "prefer, opt". The context isn't about preference but about the factual outcome of an election (which candidate the district selected).

 Also, sense 2 often implies a choice between two specific options mentioned with "over" or "rather than", or choosing from a menu of options where preference is key. Here, it's about the statistical fact that districts select candidates from different parties.

 Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about political elections, specifically mentioning "GOP congressional hopeful", "Democratic presidential candidate", "political ticket splitting", "congressional districts", "candidate for the White House", "House of Representatives"
 - The specific sentence containing the target word: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different <t>party</t>'s candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."
 - This is clearly talking about political parties (Democratic Party, Republican Party/GOP)

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=party%1:14:01:: | definition=an organization to gain political power | synonyms=political party | examples=in 1992 Perot tried to organize a third party at the national level
    - This matches perfectly. The context is about political parties (Democratic vs Republican), organizations that gain political power through elections.

 2. sense_key=party%1:14:00:: | definition=a group of people gathered together for pleasure | examples=she joined the party after dinner
    - This is about social gatherings, not relevant to the political context.

 3. sense_key=party%1:14:02:: | definition=a band of people associated temporarily in some activity | synonyms=company | examples=they organized a party to search for food; the company of cooks walked into the kitchen
    - This is about a group doing an activity together (like a search party), not a political organization.

 4. sense_key=party%1:11:00:: | definition=an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment | examples=he planned a party to celebrate Bastille Day
    - This is about social events/celebrations, not political organizations.

 5. sense_key=party%1:18:00:: | definition=a person involved in legal proceedings | examples=the party of the first part
    - This is a legal term, not relevant to the election context.

 The context clearly refers to political parties - the Democratic Party and the Republican Party (GOP). The sentence discusses how congressional districts choose candidates from different political parties for different offices (White House vs House of Representatives).

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice: "an organization to gain political power" with synonym "political party".

 The index is 1.

 I need to return: {"sense_index": 1}

 2. sense_key=candidate%1:18:00:: | definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.) | synonyms=prospect
    - This is more general. While technically a presidential candidate is "considered for an office," the specific context of running for public office (political campaign) makes sense 1 more specific and appropriate.
    - "Prospect" is more general and less specific to the political campaign context.

 The context specifically mentions:
 - "GOP congressional hopeful" (politician running for office)
 - "Democratic presidential candidate" (politician running for office)
 - "candidate for the White House" (politician running for public office)
 - "House of Representatives" (political office)

 This is clearly about political candidates running for office, not just general candidates being considered for something.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "percentage" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:

 The text is discussing political "ticket splitting" - where voters choose candidates from different parties for different offices (President vs. House of Representatives).

 The specific sentence with the target word: "Now that <t>percentage</t> routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%."

 Looking at the context:
 - It's talking about the proportion/number of congressional districts that choose different parties for President vs. House
 - Previously it mentions "more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts"
 - Now "that percentage routinely equals a third" (meaning roughly 33%)
 - This refers back to the proportion mentioned earlier (20%)

 So "percentage" here refers to a proportion in relation to a whole (specifically, the percentage of districts engaging in ticket splitting).

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=percentage%1:24:00:: | definition=a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred) | synonyms=percent, per centum, pct
    - This fits perfectly. It's talking about a numerical proportion (20%, a third, 40%).

 2. sense_key=percentage%1:21:00:: | definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | synonyms=share, portion, part | examples=he wanted his share in cash
    - This refers to a share of something physical or financial (assets, profits, etc.)
    - The context is not about assets or shares of something owned, but about statistical proportions of districts.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

 The target word "percentage" is referring to the statistical proportion of congressional districts that engage in ticket splitting, which is expressed as a number per hundred (20%, 33%, 40%).

 So the answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: equal
Target surface form: equals
Context: "Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=equal%2:42:00:: | definition=be identical or equivalent to | synonyms=be | examples=One dollar equals 1,000 rubles these days!
   - This sense is about numerical equivalence or identity. The example shows "One dollar equals 1,000 rubles" - this is about one thing being numerically equivalent to another.

2. sense_key=equal%2:42:01:: | definition=be equal to in quality or ability | synonyms=touch, rival, match | examples=Nothing can rival cotton for durability; Your performance doesn't even touch that of your colleagues
   - This sense is about being comparable in quality or ability, rivalry, matching in terms of quality. The examples suggest competition or comparison of quality/ability.

3. sense_key=equal%2:30:00:: | definition=make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching | synonyms=match, equalize, equalise, equate | examples=let's equalize the duties among all employees in this office; The company matched the discount policy of its competitors
   - This is a transitive sense meaning to cause something to be equal (make equal). The examples show "equalize the duties" and "matched the discount policy" - these are causative actions.

Now looking at the context: "Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%."

The subject is "that percentage" and the object is "a third" (meaning one-third or approximately 33.3%).

The sentence is saying that the percentage is routinely equivalent to a third (33.3%), and twice has been above 40%.

This is clearly a stative use indicating numerical equivalence - the percentage is/is equivalent to/amounts to a third.

Sense 1 fits best: "be identical or equivalent to" - this is about the percentage being numerically equivalent to one-third.

Sense 2 is about quality/ability rivalry, which doesn't fit here. We're not saying the percentage rivals or matches something in quality.

Sense 3 is causative (make equal), but here "equals" is not being used to mean "makes equal" - the percentage isn't making something else equal to a third, rather the percentage itself is equivalent to a third.

So the correct sense is sense 1: equal%2:42:00:: (be identical or equivalent to).

Wait, let me double-check the WordNet sense keys format. The user provided:
1. sense_key=equal%2:42:00::
2. sense_key=equal%2:42:01::
3. sense_key=equal%2:30:00::

The user asks to return: {"sense_index": 3} format, where the number corresponds to the candidate sense number (1, 2, or 3), not the WordNet sense key.

So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

Let me verify once more:
- "equals a third" = is equivalent to one-third numerically
- This matches sense 1: "be identical or equivalent to"
- Example: "One dollar equals 1,000 rubles" - same pattern: X equals Y (numerical equivalence)

Yes, sense 1 is correct.

Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we <t>know</t>, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "know" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is: "As we <t>know</t>, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
- This is a parenthetical phrase "As we know" introducing a general fact or piece of information.
- The meaning is about being aware of a fact or having knowledge about something.

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=know%2:31:01:: | definition=be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about | synonyms=cognize, cognise | examples=I know that the President lied to the people; I want to know who is winning the game!

10. sense_key=know%2:31:12:: | definition=be able to distinguish, recognize as being different | examples=The child knows right from wrong

11. sense_key=know%2:31:14:: | definition=perceive as familiar | examples=I know this voice!

The phrase "As we know" is a common phrase meaning "as we are aware" or "as is commonly known/understood." It's referring to general knowledge or awareness of a fact - specifically the fact that voters tend to favor Republicans more in presidential races than congressional ones.

Comparing sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
- Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

The phrase "As we know" usually corresponds to sense 1 - being cognizant or aware of a fact. However, sense 3 also seems close as it's about being aware of the truth of something.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 examples: "I know that the President lied to the people; I want to know who is winning the game!"
- Sense 3 examples: "I know that I left the key on the table; Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun"

The structure "As we know, [fact]" is very similar to "I know that [fact]" which appears in both sense 1 and sense 3 examples.

However, sense 1 is about possessing knowledge or information about something, while sense 3 is more about being aware of the truth beyond any doubt (epistemic certainty).

In the phrase "As we know", it's acknowledging shared knowledge or awareness of information. This aligns better with sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about".

But wait, looking at the WordNet structure, sense 1 (know%2:31:01) and sense 3 (know%2:31:02) are similar. Let me reconsider...

Actually, looking closely:
- Sense 1 (know%2:31:01) - "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about"
- Sense 3 (know%2:31:02) - "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

The phrase "As we know" is often used to refer to shared/common knowledge. The example for sense 1 includes "I know that the President lied to the people" which is similar to the structure here.

Actually, looking at typical WSD for "as we know", it usually maps to the sense of being aware of facts/information.

But I need to check if there's a better fit. The phrase "As we know" is treating the following proposition as something commonly known or understood by the speaker and audience.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: being cognizant or aware of a fact.

Wait, I should check the index numbers carefully. The user lists them 1-11, but the sense keys have different numbers. The user wants the "sense_index" which corresponds to the numbered list provided (1-11), not the WordNet sense key.

So:
- Index 1 = know%2:31:01
- Index 2 = know%2:31:03
- Index 3 = know%2:31:02
- Index 4 = know%2:31:00
- Index 5 = know%2:31:04
- Index 6 = know%2:31:06
- Index 7 = know%2:31:15
- Index 8 = know%2:35:00
- Index 9 = know%2:31:11
- Index 10 = know%2:31:12
- Index 11 = know%2:31:14

So if I choose sense 1 (know%2:31:01), the index is 1.
If I choose sense 3 (know%2:31:02), the index is 3.

Between index 1 and index 3:
- Index 1 definition: be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about
- Index 3 definition: be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt

The phrase "As we know" introduces a general truth or fact that is known to the speaker and presumably the reader. It's not about skill (index 2), acquaintance (index 4), experience (index 5), acknowledgment (index 6), memorization (index 7), sex (index 8), nature/character (index 9), distinguishing (index 10), or familiarity (index 11).

Between index 1 and index 3:
- Index 1 focuses on "possessing knowledge or information about"
- Index 3 focuses on "regarding as true beyond any doubt"

"As we know" is closer to "we are aware of the fact that..." which is index 1. Index 3 seems more about believing something to be true with certainty (like "I know he didn't do it" - strong conviction).

Actually, looking at the examples again:
- Index 3 example: "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" - this is knowledge of a fact/truth.
- Index 1 example: "I know that the President lied to the people" - this is also knowledge of a fact.

Both could fit. But index 1 is the primary sense of knowing facts/information. The phrase "As we know" is a discourse marker indicating shared knowledge or awareness of information.

I think index 1 is the best choice.

Wait, let me reconsider index 3. The definition says "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt". This is about propositional knowledge with certainty.

Index 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information"

In "As we know, voters tend to favor...", we're stating a general fact/tendency that is known. This fits index 1 well - being cognizant of a fact.

However, I should look at whether "know" in "As we know" might be index 3. The example "I know that I left the key on the table" (index 3) vs "I know that the President lied" (index 1).

Actually, looking at WordNet structure, typically:
- know%2:31:01 (index 1 here) is the basic sense of knowing facts, propositional knowledge.
- know%2:31:02 (index 3 here) is similar but emphasizes certainty/truth.

But in standard WSD, "As we know" typically maps to the first sense (propositional knowledge/awareness of facts).

Let me verify by looking at the synonyms:
- Index 1: cognize, cognise
- Index 3: (no synonyms listed in the candidate)

"Cognize" means to know or become aware of something through mental processes. This fits "As we know" - as we are aware/cognizant of the fact.

I think index 1 is correct.

But I want to double-check if there's any other possibility. Could it be index 5 (experience)? No, that's "I've known hunger." Could it be index 11 (perceive as familiar)? "I know this voice" - no.

So it's between 1 and 3.

The phrase "As we know" is an epistemic parenthetical indicating that the proposition is part of the speaker and hearer's common ground or shared knowledge. This aligns with sense 1: possessing knowledge or information about the fact that voters tend to favor Republicans...

Sense 3 emphasizes "beyond any doubt" and "belief or faith", which doesn't quite fit the "As we know" construction which is more about shared awareness of information.

I choose index 1.

Wait, I need to be careful. In the candidate list, the indices are:
1. know%2:31:01
2. know%2:31:03
3. know%2:31:02
4. know%2:31:00
5. know%2:31:04
6. know%2:31:06
7. know%2:31:15
8. know%2:35:00
9. know%2:31:11
10. know%2:31:12
11. know%2:31:14

So if I want sense 1 (know%2:31:01), the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.
If I want sense 3 (know%2:31:02), the answer is {"sense_index": 3}.

Given my analysis, {"sense_index": 1} is the best choice.

Actually, let me reconsider once more. Is there any chance it's index 3 (know%2:31:02)?

The definition for index 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"

The phrase "As we know" often implies "As is generally known to be true" or "As we accept to be true". This could fit index 3.

But the examples for index 3 are:
- "I know that I left the key on the table" (personal certainty about a specific event)
- "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" (scientific knowledge/certainty)

The examples for index 1 are:
- "I know that the President lied to the people" (awareness of a fact)
- "I want to know who is winning the game!" (possessing information)

"As we know" is closer to the first set - general awareness of information/facts shared by the discourse community.

Also, in WordNet, sense 01 (know%2:31:01) is typically the first sense - the most basic meaning of knowing a proposition.

I will go with index 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "tend" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
 - The meaning here is about voters having a tendency or disposition to favor Republicans more in presidential races than in congressional races.
 - It's about a general inclination or pattern of behavior.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=tend%2:42:01:: | definition=have a tendency or disposition to do or be something; be inclined | synonyms=be given, lean, incline, run | examples=She tends to be nervous before her lectures; These dresses run small
    - This matches perfectly. "Voters tend to favor..." means voters have a tendency to favor...
    - The example "She tends to be nervous" is structurally similar to "voters tend to favor"

 2. sense_key=tend%2:41:00:: | definition=have care of or look after | examples=She tends to the children
    - This would mean taking care of something/someone. Not applicable here. "Voters tend to favor" doesn't mean voters take care of favoring.

 3. sense_key=tend%2:41:01:: | definition=manage or run | examples=tend a store
    - This would mean managing or running something. Not applicable here.

 So the correct sense is clearly sense 1.

 The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 1}

 Wait, let me double-check the sense keys and indices. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=tend%2:42:01::
 2. sense_key=tend%2:41:00::
 3. sense_key=tend%2:41:01::

 So index 1 is the "have a tendency" sense, which is correct.

 The context is about voter behavior patterns - they have a tendency/inclination to favor Republicans more in presidential races. This is exactly sense 1.

 I should return {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "favor" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about political "ticket splitting" where voters choose different parties for president vs. Congress.
 - The sentence: "As we know, voters tend to <t>favor</t> Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
 - This means voters prefer Republicans more in presidential races than in congressional races.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=favor%2:41:00:: | definition=promote over another | synonyms=prefer, favour | examples=he favors his second daughter
    - This sense means to prefer one thing over another.
    - The example "he favors his second daughter" shows preference.
    - In the context, voters prefer Republicans in presidential races over congressional races.
    - This seems like a strong candidate.

 2. sense_key=favor%2:31:00:: | definition=consider as the favorite | synonyms=favour | examples=The local team was favored
    - This is about considering something as the favorite (likely to win).
    - While voters might consider Republicans favorites, the structure "favor Republicans more in races" suggests an active preference rather than just considering them the favorite.
    - Also, this is usually used in passive voice or with "to be" (e.g., "the team was favored to win").
    - The context here is about voter preference, not betting odds or likelihood of winning.

 3. sense_key=favor%2:41:01:: | definition=treat gently or carefully | synonyms=favour
    - This doesn't fit. The context isn't about treating Republicans gently.

 4. sense_key=favor%2:41:03:: | definition=bestow a privilege upon | synonyms=privilege, favour
    - This doesn't fit. Voters aren't bestowing privileges on Republicans in this context.

 So sense 1 is clearly the best fit. The meaning is that voters prefer Republicans in presidential races compared to congressional races.

 The definition "promote over another" aligns with showing preference for one option over another. The synonym "prefer" matches perfectly with the context where voters prefer Republicans in one type of race over another.

 The example "he favors his second daughter" parallels "voters tend to favor Republicans" - both show preference for one entity over others.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the target word "Republicans" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses political elections, specifically mentioning "GOP congressional hopeful", "Democratic presidential candidate", "ticket splitting", "White House", "House of Representatives", "races for president", "races for Congress", "GOP", "major-party popular vote".
 - The target word "Republicans" appears in the sentence: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."
 - The context is clearly about political parties, specifically the Republican Party in the United States.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:
 1. sense_key=republican%1:18:01:: | definition=a member of the Republican Party
    - This refers to the Republican Party in the US (or similar parties elsewhere), which is a major political party.
    - In the context of US elections, "Republicans" refers to members/supporters of the Republican Party.

 2. sense_key=republican%1:18:00:: | definition=an advocate of a republic (usually in opposition to a monarchy)
    - This is the general political philosophy sense, referring to someone who supports republicanism as a form of government (vs. monarchy).
    - While related to the party name, in modern US political discourse, "Republicans" almost always refers to the party members, not the general political philosophy.

 3. sense_key=republican%1:17:00:: | definition=a tributary of the Kansas River that flows from eastern Colorado eastward through Nebraska and Kansas | synonyms=Republican River
    - This is a geographical feature (a river).
    - The context is clearly about politics and elections, not geography or rivers.

 Analysis:
 - The context is about US federal elections, presidential races, congressional races, the GOP (Grand Old Party - nickname for the Republican Party), and voting patterns.
 - "Republicans" here refers to the political party candidates or the party itself.
 - Sense 1 is clearly the correct choice as it refers to members of the Republican Party.
 - Sense 2 would be used in contexts discussing forms of government (e.g., "republican vs. monarchist"), which is not the case here.
 - Sense 3 is completely unrelated.

 Therefore, the best sense is sense 1 (index 1).

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=republican%1:18:01::
 2. sense_key=republican%1:18:00::
 3. sense_key=republican%1:17:00::

 So sense_index should be 1.

 The user asks for a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

 So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

 3. sense_key=race%1:14:00:: | definition=people who are believed to belong to the same genetic stock | examples=some biologists doubt that there are important genetic differences between races of human beings

 6. sense_key=race%1:06:00:: | definition=a canal for a current of water | synonyms=raceway
    - Water channel, not relevant.

 The context clearly uses "races" to mean political competitions or contests for office. Sense 1 ("any competition") with the example "the race for the presidency" is the perfect match.

 The index appears to be 1 (sense_key=race%1:11:01::).

 Wait, let me check the format. The user wants:
 {"sense_index": 3}

 But I need to determine what "index" means here. Looking at the candidate senses, they are numbered 1-6. So I should return the number of the best sense.

 Sense 1 is: sense_key=race%1:11:01:: | definition=any competition | examples=the race for the presidency

 This is clearly the best fit.

 So the answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: president
Target surface form: president
Context:
Tuesday's rout of a GOP congressional hopeful in a Mississippi district that hasn't backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson is another reminder that, at least at the federal level, political "ticket splitting "has been on the rise over the past half century. In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives. Now that percentage routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%. As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for <t>president</t> than in those for Congress. In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=president%1:18:01:: | definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. sense_key=president%1:18:04:: | definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | synonyms=President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive | examples=the President likes to jog every morning

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "president" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about presidential elections, congressional districts, Democratic presidential candidates, White House, House of Representatives, GOP, voting patterns.
- The target word "president" appears in phrases like:
  - "Democratic presidential candidate"
  - "presidential election year"
  - "races for president"
  - "popular vote for president"
  - "Goldwater presidential candidacy"
  - "President of the United States" (implied in context)

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=president%1:18:01:: | definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
   - This is about corporate presidents, not relevant here.

2. sense_key=president%1:18:04:: | definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | synonyms=President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive | examples=the President likes to jog every morning
   - This refers to the specific person holding the office of US President.

3. sense_key=president%1:18:00:: | definition=the chief executive of a republic
   - This is a general term for the head of state of a republic, not specifically US.

4. sense_key=president%1:18:03:: | definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | synonyms=chairman, chairwoman, chair, chairperson | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson
   - This is about meeting presiders, not relevant.

5. sense_key=president%1:18:02:: | definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university | synonyms=prexy
   - University president, not relevant.

6. sense_key=president%1:04:04:: | definition=the office of the United States head of state | synonyms=President of the United States, Chief Executive | examples=a President is elected every four years
   - This refers to the office/position itself, not the person.

Now, looking at the specific usage in the text:
- "races for president" - this is referring to the position/office being contested in elections.
- The context is about voting for the office of President of the United States.

The text mentions:
- "Democratic presidential candidate" - candidates running for the office
- "races for president" - elections for the office
- "popular vote for president" - votes cast for the office

Sense 6 is "the office of the United States head of state" - this seems to fit when talking about "races for president" (races for the office).

However, sense 2 is "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government".

The question is: when the text says "races for president", is it referring to:
(a) races for the person who will be president (sense 2), or
(b) races for the office of president (sense 6)?

In English, when we say "run for president", we usually mean running for the office (sense 6 category), but we can also mean running to become the person who is president (sense 2).

However, looking at the WordNet definitions:
- Sense 2 (president%1:18:04::): "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government" - This is a noun denoting a person.
- Sense 6 (president%1:04:04::): "the office of the United States head of state" - This is a noun denoting the office/position (note the %1:04 lexfile - noun.act or noun.position).

Wait, let me check the lexfile numbers:
- %1:18:XX usually refers to nouns denoting people (noun.person)
- %1:04:XX usually refers to nouns denoting acts or positions (noun.act)

Actually, looking at the sense keys:
- president%1:18:04:: - noun.person
- president%1:04:04:: - noun.act (or noun.position)

In the context "races for president", "president" is the object of the preposition "for". You run FOR an office/position. So sense 6 (the office) seems most appropriate.

However, let's look at the other occurrences in the text to see what sense is being used consistently:
- "Democratic presidential candidate" - candidate for president (the office/position)
- "presidential election" - election for president (the office)
- "vote for president" - vote for the office/position

But wait, in WordNet, "presidential" would be derived from one of these senses. The text uses the surface form "president" in:
- "races for <t>president</t>"

The phrase "races for president" clearly refers to contests for the office of president.

Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state" matches this perfectly.

Sense 2 refers to the person currently holding the office, or the role as a person.

When we say "run for president", we mean run for the office. So sense 6 is correct.

But let me double-check sense 3: "the chief executive of a republic" - this is more general, could be any republic, not specifically US. The context is clearly US-specific (GOP, Mississippi, Democratic, White House, Congress, Goldwater).

So it's between sense 2 (the person holding the US office) and sense 6 (the US office itself).

In the phrase "races for president", we are talking about electoral contests for the position/office. Therefore, sense 6 is the best fit.

However, I should check if WordNet makes a distinction between "president" as a person and "president" as an office in the context of elections.

Example from sense 6: "a President is elected every four years" - this confirms it's the office/position that is elected.

Example from sense 2: "the President likes to jog every morning" - this is the person.

In "races for president", we are talking about the contest to fill the office. So sense 6.

But I need to be careful. Sometimes "president" in "run for president" is interpreted as running for the role/title, which could be sense 2 (the person role) or sense 6 (the office).

Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
- Sense 2 is a specific instance of Sense 3 (chief executive of a republic), specifically for the US.
- Sense 6 is the office corresponding to sense 2.

In election contexts, when we say "vote for president" or "run for president", WordNet typically tags this as the office (sense 6) or the title.

But let's look at the other candidate senses again. The indices in the sense keys might not correspond to the order listed. The user lists them as 1-6, but the sense keys have their own numbers.

The user asks me to return {"sense_index": 3} where the number refers to the position in the candidate list (1-indexed).

So I need to pick which of the 6 listed options is best.

Options:
1. Corporate executive - wrong
2. US President (person) - possible
3. Chief executive of a republic (general) - too general, context is US-specific
4. Meeting presider - wrong
5. University president - wrong
6. Office of US head of state - possible

Between 2 and 6:
- The text talks about "races for president" - this is ambiguous between competing to become the person (sense 2) and competing for the office (sense 6).
- However, sense 6 specifically mentions "the office" and examples include "a President is elected every four years", which is exactly the type of context we have (elections).
- Sense 2 is about the person currently holding the office.

Also, note that sense 2 and 6 have similar synonyms:
- Sense 2: President of the United States, United States President, Chief Executive
- Sense 6: President of the United States, Chief Executive

But sense 6 is the office (%1:04), while sense 2 is the person (%1:18).

In the phrase "races for president", "president" is the office being sought. You don't race for a person, you race for an office/position.

Therefore, sense 6 is the correct choice.

Sense 6 is listed as item 6 in the candidate list.

Wait, let me look at the candidate list order:
1. sense_key=president%1:18:01::
2. sense_key=president%1:18:04::
3. sense_key=president%1:18:00::
4. sense_key=president%1:18:03::
5. sense_key=president%1:18:02::
6. sense_key=president%1:04:04::

So if I choose sense 6 from the list, the index is 6.

But let me reconsider. Could it be sense 2?

The text says: "voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."

"Races for Congress" - Congress is a legislative body, but also refers to the members collectively. "Races for Congress" means races to become a member of Congress.

Similarly, "races for president" means races to become the president (the person).

In this parallel structure, "president" is parallel to "Congress". Congress is the body/institution, but also metonymically the members. But "races for Congress" clearly means races to win seats in Congress.

So "races for president" means races to win the office of president.

But in WordNet, is this the person or the office?

When you win a race for president, you become the president (sense 2). But you were running for the office (sense 6).

I think the distinction is subtle. However, the example for sense 6 is "a President is elected every four years", which suggests sense 6 is used in election contexts.

Also, note that sense 2 specifically says "the person who holds the office" - implying the current holder or the role as held by a specific person. But in "races for president", the office is vacant or contested; there isn't a holder yet.

Therefore, sense 6 is more appropriate.

One more check: sense 3 is "the chief executive of a republic" - this could work if we ignore the US-specificity, but the context is clearly US-specific (GOP, Mississippi, Goldwater, Democratic, White House).

So sense 2 or 6.

Given that sense 6 examples specifically mention elections ("a President is elected every four years"), and the context is about election statistics, I think sense 6 is the best match.

Therefore, the answer is index 6.

Wait, I should verify the exact wording of the target. The target is: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for <t>president</t> than in those for Congress."

Yes, "races for president".

In WordNet, "president" as an office is sense 6.

Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0 or 3.1 (which these sense keys resemble):
- president%1:04:00:: - the office of the United States head of state (lexicographer file noun.act)
- president%1:18:02:: - the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government (lexicographer file noun.person)

Wait, the sense keys provided are:
- president%1:18:04:: (sense 2 in list)
- president%1:04:04:: (sense 6 in list)

The numbers after the last colon are the sense numbers within the lexfile. But the user has listed them as candidates 1-6.

Given the context of elections and the specific phrase "races for president", and the US-specific context, the choice is between the US-specific person (index 2) and the US-specific office (index 6).

Given the example "a President is elected every four years" for sense 6, and the fact that "races for" implies seeking to obtain the office, I choose index 6.

Final check: could it be sense 3 (general republic president)? The text mentions "White House" and "GOP" and "Goldwater" - all US-specific. So sense 3 is too general.

So: {"sense_index": 6}

The sentence is: "In every <t>presidential</t> election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater presidential candidacy, the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major - party popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The target word "presidential" modifies "election".

2. sense_key=presidential%3:00:00:: | definition=befitting a president | examples=criticized the candidate for not looking presidential

Sense 1 refers to things related to a president or presidency (like aides, veto, election, etc.). This is a relational/pertainym sense.
Sense 2 refers to characteristics befitting a president (appearance, behavior, dignity, etc.).

In the context "presidential election", we are talking about an election related to the presidency (the office of president). This is clearly sense 1 - relating to a president or presidency.

"Presidential election" means an election for president, or relating to the presidency. This fits sense 1 perfectly.

Sense 2 would be used in contexts like "He looked very presidential" or "She carried herself in a presidential manner" - referring to the qualities/appearance befitting a president.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

The JSON output should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "election" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text discusses "presidential election year" and "presidential election"
- It mentions "In every presidential <t>election</t> over the past half century..."
- The context is about voting, selecting winners of political office (president), and comparing vote percentages
- It's clearly referring to the event where people vote to select a political leader

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=election%1:04:01:: | definition=a vote to select the winner of a position or political office | examples=the results of the election will be announced tonight
   - This matches perfectly. The context is about presidential elections (voting to select the winner of a political office - the presidency).

2. sense_key=election%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of selecting someone or something; the exercise of deliberate choice | examples=her election of medicine as a profession
   - This is more general - choosing anything. The context is specifically about political voting, not general selection.

3. sense_key=election%1:26:00:: | definition=the status or fact of being elected | examples=they celebrated his election
   - This refers to the state of having been elected, not the event/process of voting. The context says "In every presidential election over the past half century" - referring to the event where voting happens, not the status of being elected.

4. sense_key=election%1:09:00:: | definition=the predestination of some individuals as objects of divine mercy (especially as conceived by Calvinists)
   - This is a theological term (Calvinist doctrine), completely unrelated to the political context.

The best sense is clearly sense 1: "a vote to select the winner of a position or political office"

The context mentions:
- "presidential election year"
- "choose a different party's candidate"
- "presidential election"
- "captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote"

All of these point to the voting event to select political office holders.

Sense index 1 is the correct choice.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "past" in the given context.

 Context analysis:
 - The sentence is: "In every presidential election over the <t>past</t> half century..."
 - The phrase "past half century" refers to the time period preceding now (the last 50 years).
 - The context is about historical time periods (Tuesday's rout, over the past half century, prior to 1948, etc.)

 Candidate senses:
 1. past%3:00:00:: - earlier than the present time; no longer current; examples: "time past"; "his youth is past"
 2. past%5:00:00:outgoing:00 - of a person who has held and relinquished a position or office; synonyms: preceding, retiring; examples: "a retiring member of the board"

 Analysis:
 - Sense 1 refers to time that has elapsed, earlier than now. This fits "past half century" which means the previous 50 years from now.
 - Sense 2 refers to people who have left office (outgoing). This doesn't fit because "past" here modifies "half century" (a time period), not a person or office holder.

 The phrase "over the past half century" clearly indicates a temporal meaning - referring to the time period preceding the present. This aligns perfectly with sense 1: "earlier than the present time; no longer current".

 Sense 2 would be used in contexts like "the past president" meaning someone who previously held the office but no longer does. But here we have "past half century" referring to time.

 Therefore, the correct sense is index 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "presidential" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses "presidential candidate", "presidential election year", "presidential election", and "Goldwater presidential candidacy"
 - The specific target is in the phrase "Goldwater <t>presidential</t> candidacy"

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=presidential%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to a president or presidency | examples=presidential aides; presidential veto
    - This sense refers to things related to the office of president or the presidency as an institution.
    - Examples: presidential aides (aides of the president), presidential veto (the veto power of the president)

 2. sense_key=presidential%3:00:00:: | definition=befitting a president | examples=criticized the candidate for not looking presidential
    - This sense refers to demeanor, appearance, or behavior that is appropriate for a president.
    - Example: "looking presidential" means looking like a president should look (dignified, statesmanlike, etc.)

 Now, looking at the specific usage: "Goldwater presidential candidacy"
 - This refers to Barry Goldwater's candidacy for the office of president.
 - "Presidential" here modifies "candidacy" to specify what office he was running for - the presidency.
 - This is about the office/position of president, not about whether he looked or acted "presidential" (befitting a president).

 The phrase "presidential candidacy" means a candidacy for the presidency - i.e., relating to the office of president.

 Sense 1: "relating to a president or presidency" - This fits because it describes a candidacy related to the presidency (the office).
 Sense 2: "befitting a president" - This doesn't fit because we're not talking about whether the candidacy was dignified or appropriate in appearance/demeanor, but rather that it was a candidacy for the presidential office.

 Actually, let me reconsider. In "presidential candidacy", the word "presidential" is being used to mean "relating to the presidency" - i.e., a candidacy for the office of president. This aligns with sense 1.

 However, I should check if there's any ambiguity. The text mentions:
 - "Democratic presidential candidate" - candidate for president
 - "presidential election year" - election year for president
 - "presidential election" - election for president
 - "Goldwater presidential candidacy" - Goldwater's candidacy for president

 All of these uses refer to sense 1: relating to a president or presidency (the office).

 Sense 2 would be used in contexts like:
 - "He looked very presidential"
 - "She carried herself in a presidential manner"
 - "The candidate's presidential demeanor impressed voters"

 In the given context, we're talking about the institutional/office aspect, not the demeanor/appearance aspect.

 Therefore, the correct sense is sense 1 (presidential%3:01:00::).

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user asks for the "sense_index". Looking at the candidate senses:
 - Candidate sense 1: sense_key=presidential%3:01:00::
 - Candidate sense 2: sense_key=presidential%3:00:00::

 So sense_index would be 1.

 Let me double-check by looking at WordNet if possible (mentally):
 - presidential%3:01:00:: - pertaining to a president or presidency (relational adjective)
 - presidential%3:00:00:: - befitting a president (similar to "dignified", "statesmanlike")

 Yes, "presidential candidacy" uses the relational sense (pertaining to the presidency), not the "befitting" sense.

 So the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.
