Which numbered sense of "social" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the <t>social</t> exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to human society and its members | examples=social institutions
2. definition=living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups | examples=a human being is a social animal
3. definition=relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society | examples=made fun of her being so social and high-toned
4. definition=composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability | examples=a purely social club
5. definition=tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind | examples=ants are social insects
6. definition=marked by friendly companionship with others | examples=a social cup of coffee

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "social" is used in the given sentence. The word "social" is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence: "Key speakers at the <t>social</t> exclusion conference..."

Let me analyze the context. The phrase is "social exclusion conference". This is referring to a conference about social exclusion, which is a term used in sociology and policy discussions to refer to the process by which individuals or groups are excluded from participating fully in society.

Now let me look at the definitions:

1. "relating to human society and its members" - examples: social institutions
2. "living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups" - examples: a human being is a social animal
3. "relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society" - examples: made fun of her being so social and high-toned
4. "composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability" - examples: a purely social club
5. "tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind" - examples: ants are social insects
6. "marked by friendly companionship with others" - examples: a social cup of coffee

The phrase "social exclusion" refers to exclusion from society - it's about human society and its members. This matches sense 1: "relating to human society and its members".

Let me verify:
- "Social exclusion" is a technical term in sociology and social policy referring to the process whereby certain groups are pushed to the margins of society and denied access to resources and participation in society.
- This clearly relates to "human society and its members" (sense 1).
- It's not about living together (sense 2), high society (sense 3), sociability (sense 4), biological grouping (sense 5), or friendly companionship (sense 6).

So the answer should be 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "exclusion" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "Key speakers at the social <t>exclusion</t> conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The phrase is "social exclusion conference". This refers to a conference about social exclusion.

Let me look at the definitions:
1. definition=the state of being excluded
2. definition=the state of being excommunicated
3. definition=a deliberate act of omission | examples=with the exception of the children, everyone was told the news
4. definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police

"Social exclusion" is a term that refers to the state or process of being excluded from social, economic, and political systems and rights. It's about being marginalized or left out of society. This matches definition 1: "the state of being excluded."

Definition 2 is about excommunication (religious context).
Definition 3 is about deliberate omission (leaving something/someone out intentionally in a specific instance).
Definition 4 is about forcing someone out (ejection).

"Social exclusion" is a well-known term in sociology and policy referring to the condition of being excluded from social participation, rights, and opportunities. This is the state of being excluded (definition 1).

So the answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "conference" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion <t>conference</t> were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)
2. definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members
3. definition=a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "conference" is used in the given sentence.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion <t>conference</t> were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The sentence mentions:
- Key speakers
- Social exclusion conference
- Various officials from European institutions
- It's a formal gathering with speakers

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)
2. definition=an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members
3. definition=a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic

Sense 2 is clearly about sports (like "the National Football Conference"), so that's not it.

Between sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1 emphasizes a prearranged meeting with a formal agenda, consultation, exchange of information
- Sense 3 emphasizes a discussion among participants

The sentence mentions "Key speakers" which suggests a formal meeting with presentations/speeches, not just a discussion. It lists various officials and their titles, suggesting a formal gathering. The phrase "social exclusion conference" suggests a formal event about the topic of social exclusion.

Sense 1 mentions "especially one with a formal agenda" and "prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information" - this fits well with a conference that has key speakers from various official bodies.

Sense 3 focuses more on "discussion among participants" - while conferences can involve discussion, the mention of "key speakers" suggests the primary activity is listening to presentations rather than mutual discussion.

Also, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1 is the most common definition of conference (a formal meeting)
- Sense 3 sounds more like a specific type of conference or perhaps a less formal usage

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 3: "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic" - this sounds like it could be a conference call or a conference as in a discussion.

But in the context of the sentence with "key speakers" and multiple officials from different organizations, this is clearly referring to a formal gathering/event - which is sense 1.

Sense 1 is the correct answer.

Which numbered sense of "left" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (<t>left</t> to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=location near or direction toward the left side; i.e. the side to the north when a person or object faces east | examples=she stood on the left
2. definition=those who support varying degrees of social or political or economic change designed to promote the public welfare
3. definition=the hand that is on the left side of the body | examples=jab with your left
4. definition=the piece of ground in the outfield on the catcher's left | examples=the batter flied out to left
5. definition=a turn toward the side of the body that is on the north when the person is facing east | examples=take a left at the corner

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "left" is used in the given sentence. The word "left" is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (<t>left</t> to right) Cristina Louro..."

 The phrase "left to right" indicates a direction or position from one side to another. Specifically, it describes the order of speakers listed from the left side to the right side.

 Looking at the senses:
 1. "location near or direction toward the left side; i.e. the side to the north when a person or object faces east" - This seems to fit. The phrase "left to right" refers to the direction toward the left side.
 2. "those who support varying degrees of social or political or economic change..." - This refers to the political left, which doesn't fit here.
 3. "the hand that is on the left side of the body" - This refers to the left hand, not applicable here.
 4. "the piece of ground in the outfield on the catcher's left" - Baseball term, not applicable.
 5. "a turn toward the side of the body..." - This refers to making a left turn.

 The phrase "left to right" is describing spatial orientation - specifically the direction from the left side to the right side. This matches sense 1, which is about location or direction toward the left side.

 Wait, let me reconsider. The phrase is "(left to right)" describing the order of the speakers. This indicates their physical positioning from left to right.

 Sense 1: "location near or direction toward the left side" - Yes, this describes the left side/direction.

 Actually, looking more carefully at the context: "were (left to right) Cristina Louro..." - this is indicating that as you look at them, they are arranged from left to right in that order.

 So "left" here refers to the left side/direction, which is sense 1.

 But wait, is there any ambiguity? Could it be sense 3 (the hand)? No, clearly not. Sense 4 (baseball)? No. Sense 5 (a turn)? No. Sense 2 (political)? No, the conference is about social exclusion, but "left to right" refers to physical positioning.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "she stood on the left" - this is about position/location.

 The phrase "left to right" uses "left" as a noun referring to the left side, which matches definition 1.

 So the answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "right" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to <t>right</t>) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=an abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature; ; - Eleanor Roosevelt | examples=they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights
2. definition=location near or direction toward the right side; i.e. the side to the south when a person or object faces east | examples=he stood on the right
3. definition=the piece of ground in the outfield on the catcher's right
4. definition=those who support political or social or economic conservatism; those who believe that things are better left unchanged
5. definition=the hand that is on the right side of the body | examples=he writes with his right hand but pitches with his left
6. definition=a turn toward the side of the body that is on the south when the person is facing east | examples=take a right at the corner
7. definition=anything in accord with principles of justice | examples=he feels he is in the right
8. definition=(frequently plural) the interest possessed by law or custom in some intangible thing | examples=mineral rights

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "right" is used in the given sentence.

The sentence is: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to <t>right</t>) Cristina Louro..."

The phrase "left to right" indicates a spatial direction or position. Looking at the senses:

1. Abstract idea of what is due to a person - This is about rights/entitlements, not spatial direction.
2. Location near or direction toward the right side; i.e. the side to the south when a person or object faces east - This matches "left to right" which indicates direction/orientation.
3. Piece of ground in the outfield - Baseball specific, not relevant here.
4. Political conservatives - Not relevant here.
5. The hand on the right side - While related to direction, this specifically refers to the hand, not the general direction in "left to right".
6. A turn toward the right side - This is about turning/making a right turn, not the general directional concept in "left to right".
7. Anything in accord with principles of justice - Moral/ethical rightness.
8. Legal interest in intangible things - Property rights, etc.

The phrase "left to right" is describing the spatial arrangement or order of the speakers. This corresponds to sense 2: "location near or direction toward the right side; i.e. the side to the south when a person or object faces east".

Wait, let me double-check sense 2. It says "location near or direction toward the right side; i.e. the side to the south when a person or object faces east". Yes, this is the directional/spatial sense.

Sense 5 is about the hand specifically.
Sense 6 is about a turn.

So the correct answer should be 2.

The sentence is listing speakers from left to right, meaning from the left side to the right side (spatial direction).

Therefore, the answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "employment" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence carefully.

The sentence is: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes..."

Looking at the context, "Employment" appears to be part of a title or department name. It says "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".

This looks like a list where:
- Cristina Louro is the person's name
- "Employment" is likely a portfolio or department area
- "Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" is the specific directorate
- "European Commission" is the organization

Wait, let me look more carefully. The structure seems to be:
Cristina Louro, [title/role], [organization]

Actually, looking at the pattern: "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission"

It seems like "Employment" here refers to a field or area of responsibility. But let me look at the senses:

1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid
3. the act of giving someone a job
4. the act of using

Hmm, none of these seem to fit perfectly if "Employment" is being used as a department name or portfolio. But wait, looking at the context again, this might be referring to the "Employment" sector or field.

Actually, looking at the European Commission structure, there used to be a Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, or similar.

But the question is asking about the sense of the word "employment" as used here.

Let me reconsider. The word "Employment" appears in a list: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate"

This suggests "Employment" is being used as an attributive noun or as part of the name of the directorate. But what does "Employment" mean in this context?

If we look at the pattern: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs" - these are three areas or fields. "Employment" here refers to the field of employment - i.e., jobs, labor market, etc.

But looking at the definitions:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid
3. the act of giving someone a job
4. the act of using

Wait, I need to think about this differently. In the context of "Employment Directorate" or similar, "Employment" refers to the subject matter - the field dealing with jobs and labor.

But actually, looking at the specific wording: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate"

This is likely referring to the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities or a similar department. In this context, "Employment" refers to the policy area concerning jobs and work.

However, looking at the definitions provided:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid
3. the act of giving someone a job
4. the act of using

None of these exactly match "employment" as a policy area or field. But let me think...

Actually, in the context of government departments, "Employment" often refers to the sector or field of jobs/labor. But which sense is closest?

Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" - this is about the condition of having work.
Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid" - this is about the job itself.
Sense 3: "the act of giving someone a job" - this is about hiring.
Sense 4: "the act of using" - this is about utilization.

Wait, I think I need to look at this more carefully. The tag <t>Employment</t> appears to be marking the word in context.

Let me look at the sentence structure again:
"Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission"

Actually, looking at this, it seems like "Employment" might be Cristina Louro's title or role. But that doesn't make sense grammatically.

Let me reconsider the punctuation. It says:
"Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission"

This could mean:
- Cristina Louro works in the Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate of the European Commission.

In this case, "Employment" is part of the name of the directorate. It refers to the subject matter of the directorate.

But which sense is this? It's referring to employment as a field or policy area - essentially meaning "jobs" or "labor market".

Looking at the definitions again:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid

Actually, sense 2 says "the occupation for which you are paid" - but "Employment" as a department name refers to the general concept of jobs/occupations.

Wait, I think I should look at whether "Employment" here could mean something else.

Actually, looking at the European Commission's historical structure, there was indeed a Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs.

But the question is about the word sense. In "Employment Directorate", the word "Employment" is being used to mean the field or sector of jobs and labor.

However, looking at the provided senses, none of them explicitly mention "the field or sector of jobs" or "employment as a policy area."

Let me reconsider whether the word might be used differently.

Could "Employment" here be referring to Cristina Louro's role? Like, she is the "Employment" [something]?

Or is it possible that the sentence is listing her as: Name, Title, Department, Organization?

"Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate..."

If "Employment" is her title, that would be unusual. But in EU contexts, commissioners and officials often have portfolios. For example, "Commissioner for Employment."

Actually, looking at the pattern with the other names:
- Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions (this seems garbled)
- Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament
- José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament
- John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee

And Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission

Hmm, the text seems to have some OCR errors or formatting issues. "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" should probably be "High Representative of the Committee of the Regions" or similar.

But focusing on Cristina Louro: the pattern seems to be Name, Title/Role, Organization.

Actually, looking more carefully: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" - this is all one unit. It's the name of a directorate within the European Commission.

So "Employment" here is part of a proper noun - the name of a government department dealing with employment matters.

But the question asks which sense of "employment" is used. Even as part of a proper noun, the word retains its meaning.

In "Employment Directorate", "Employment" refers to the subject matter - the field of jobs, hiring, labor market, etc.

Now, looking at the definitions:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid
3. the act of giving someone a job
4. the act of using

Which of these is closest to "employment" as a field or policy area?

Actually, let me think about this differently. In many dictionaries, "employment" can mean:
- The condition of having paid work (sense 1)
- The action of giving work to someone (sense 3)
- A person's job or profession (sense 2)
- The utilization of something (sense 4)

In the context of "Employment Directorate", the word refers to the general concept of paid work or jobs in society. It's the field dealing with jobs and labor.

But looking at the specific wording of the definitions:
1. "the state of being employed or having a job" - this is about the status of individuals
2. "the occupation for which you are paid" - this is about specific jobs
3. "the act of giving someone a job" - this is the hiring process
4. "the act of using" - utilization

Hmm, none of these seem perfect for "employment" as a policy field. But sense 1 or 2 might be the closest.

Wait, I need to look at whether "Employment" here might actually be referring to something else.

Let me search my knowledge base for similar usages. In EU documents, "Employment" often appears in titles like "Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs" or "Employment Strategy."

In these contexts, "Employment" refers to the policy area concerning jobs and the labor market.

But looking at the definitions provided in the question, I need to choose the best fit.

Actually, looking at the sentence again, I wonder if "Employment" is being used to mean the directorate itself or the field.

But wait - I should consider whether the word "Employment" in this context might actually be a typo or OCR error in my reading. Let me look again.

The sentence says: "Cristina Louro, <t>Employment</t>, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate..."

Actually, looking at this pattern, it could be that Cristina Louro is associated with the "Employment" portfolio or sector.

But let me think about the word senses more carefully.

Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" - examples: "they are looking for employment"
Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid" - examples: "he is looking for employment"

Wait, both examples say "looking for employment" which suggests that in this corpus or dictionary, "employment" when used with "looking for" could mean either the state of having a job or the job itself.

But in the context of "Employment Directorate", we're talking about the concept of employment as a sector or field.

Actually, I realize I may be overcomplicating this. Let me look at whether "Employment" in this context could mean something like "the Employment sector" or "the Employment field."

In many contexts, "Employment" capitalized and used in government titles refers to the field of labor and jobs.

But looking at the definitions:
1. the state of being employed
2. the occupation/job itself
3. the act of employing (hiring)
4. the act of using

Which one is "employment" as a field or policy area closest to?

It's somewhat abstract, but "employment" as a field deals with the state of people having jobs (sense 1) or the jobs themselves (sense 2).

However, I think there might be a different interpretation. Let me look at the sentence once more.

"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."

Actually, looking at the capitalization and the commas, and comparing with the other speakers:
- Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament
- José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament

So the pattern is: Name, Title, Organization (sometimes with additional info).

For Cristina Louro: "Employment" could be her title or role. But "Employment" alone doesn't sound like a title.

Wait, looking at the European Commission structure, officials are sometimes listed with their Directorate-General.

"Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" - this is the name of the Directorate-General (or a part of it).

So Cristina Louro is from the Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate of the European Commission.

In this case, "Employment" is part of the proper name of the department. But what sense of the word is being used?

The department deals with employment (jobs, labor market). So the word "Employment" here refers to the subject matter: jobs, the state of having jobs, or the labor market.

Given the definitions:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid

I think sense 1 is the most general and would cover the concept of employment as a policy field. But I'm not entirely sure.

Let me reconsider whether any other sense fits better.

Sense 3: the act of giving someone a job - this would be "employment" as in hiring. But the Directorate of Employment is not just about hiring, it's about all aspects of jobs and labor.

Sense 4: the act of using - this is a different meaning (e.g., "employment of resources").

Actually, looking at the context of the European Commission's Employment Directorate, it deals with employment policy - which concerns jobs, unemployment, labor market, etc.

The word "Employment" in the title refers to the general concept of paid work or the condition of having work.

Between sense 1 and sense 2:
- Sense 1: the state of being employed (abstract condition)
- Sense 2: the occupation itself (concrete job)

"Employment" in "Employment Directorate" is closer to sense 1 - it's about the state or condition of employment in society, the employment rate, etc. It's the general concept.

But actually, looking at dictionary definitions, "employment" can mean:
1. The condition of having paid work
2. The action of employing someone
3. A person's job or occupation
4. The utilization of something

In government usage, "Minister of Employment" or "Employment Directorate" uses sense 1 or possibly sense 3.

But looking at the specific definitions provided in the question:
1. the state of being employed or having a job
2. the occupation for which you are paid
3. the act of giving someone a job
4. the act of using

I think the answer is likely sense 1 or sense 2. But which one?

Let me think about similar constructions. If we say "the Employment Minister", what does "Employment" mean? It means the minister responsible for jobs and labor.

But looking at the word in isolation in the title "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs", the word "Employment" stands for the field of jobs and labor.

Actually, I realize I should look for clues in the example sentences provided with the definitions.

Sense 1 examples: "they are looking for employment" - here "employment" means a job or the state of having a job.
Sense 2 examples: "he is looking for employment" - same thing?

Wait, both examples are "looking for employment". That suggests that in this particular dataset or WordNet-style resource, both senses can be used with "looking for".

But typically:
- Sense 1: "Employment is high" (state of being employed)
- Sense 2: "She found employment as a teacher" (a specific job)

In the context of "Employment Directorate", the word refers to the general area of jobs and labor, which is closer to sense 1 (the state or condition) than to sense 2 (a specific occupation).

However, I want to check if there's another possibility. Could "Employment" here be referring to the act of employing (sense 3)?

"Employment practices" - could be sense 3.
"Employment law" - could be sense 3 (laws about hiring) or sense 1 (laws about the state of being employed).

Actually, looking at the European Commission's historical Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, the word "Employment" in the title refers to the policy area concerning jobs and the labor market.

I think the most accurate answer is sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" - because the directorate deals with employment levels, unemployment, and the conditions of employment.

But let me double-check by considering if it could be sense 2. "The occupation for which you are paid" - pluralizing this or using it as a mass noun for all occupations? "Employment" as a collective term for all jobs?

Actually, "employment" can mean "the fact of being employed" (sense 1) or "work, especially when it involves responsibility and trust" or just "work" in general.

Given the options, and that "Employment" in government titles typically refers to the labor market and the state of having jobs (employment rates, etc.), I think sense 1 is correct.

Wait, I want to look at one more thing. The sentence says "Employment" with a capital E, and it's tagged with <t></t>. This suggests it's being used as a proper noun or title.

But the question is asking for the sense of the word. Even as a proper noun, it derives from one of these senses.

Let me see if I can find this exact sentence or similar constructions online to verify the context.

Actually, looking at the pattern of the sentence again, I notice that the other speakers have titles like:
- Member of the European Parliament
- Vice-President, European Parliament
- Economic and Social Committee

And for Cristina Louro: "Employment" might be her title, as in she is the Commissioner or Director for Employment.

If Cristina Louro is the Commissioner for Employment, then "Employment" refers to the portfolio - the area of jobs and labor.

This would still map to sense 1 or 2.

But actually, looking at the specific text: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" - this suggests that "Employment" is the first part of the directorate name.

I think I've convinced myself that the answer is sense 1. The word refers to the state or condition of being employed, or the general concept of jobs in the economy, which is what the directorate handles.

However, I want to consider one more thing. Could "Employment" in this context mean "the act of giving someone a job" (sense 3)?

The "Employment Directorate" - is it about hiring people? No, it's about employment policy - unemployment benefits, labor laws, job creation, etc. So it's about the state of employment in society.

Therefore: Sense 1.

Actually, let me reconsider one more time. Looking at the exact wording of the definitions and thinking about WordNet or similar lexical databases.

In WordNet, "employment" has several senses:
1. employment, employ - the state of being employed or having a job
2. employment, work - the occupation for which you are paid
3. employment, engagement - the act of giving someone a job
4. employment, usage, use, utilization - the act of using

In the context of "Employment Directorate", sense 1 is the most appropriate because it refers to the general condition of employment in the labor market.

But I should also consider: is it possible that "Employment" here is part of Cristina Louro's title, meaning she is the Director of Employment (the act of employing)? That seems unlikely.

Or is it that she works in Employment (the field)?

I think the answer is 1.

Wait, I want to look at the example for sense 2 again: "he is looking for employment"

If someone is looking for employment, they are looking for a job. This is similar to sense 1's example "they are looking for employment."

But in the context of a government department, "Employment" is parallel to "Social Affairs" and "Industrial Relations."

"Industrial Relations" = relations between employers and employees
"Social Affairs" = social welfare, etc.
"Employment" = matters related to jobs and labor

"Employment" as a policy field is best categorized as sense 1: the state of being employed or having a job. The directorate deals with employment statistics, unemployment, etc.

I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, one last check: could it be sense 4? "The act of using" - as in "the employment of resources"? No, that doesn't fit the context of a government directorate dealing with labor market issues.

So it's between 1, 2, and 3.

Sense 3: "the act of giving someone a job" - this is hiring. While the directorate might deal with hiring regulations, "Employment" in the title encompasses more than just hiring.

Sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid" - this refers to specific jobs. But the directorate doesn't deal with specific occupations, but with the general labor market.

Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" - this is the abstract concept. The directorate deals with employment levels, unemployment, etc. This fits best.

Which numbered sense of "industrial" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, <t>Industrial</t> Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to or resulting from industry | examples=industrial output
2. definition=having highly developed industries | examples=the industrial revolution
3. definition=employed in industry | examples=the industrial classes
4. definition=suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "industrial" is used in the given sentence.

Looking at the sentence: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, <t>Industrial</t> Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."

The phrase is "Industrial Relations". This refers to relations between employers and employees, particularly in industrial settings or workplaces. This is a specific term: "industrial relations" which deals with the relationship between management and labor in industries.

Let me look at the senses:
1. of or relating to or resulting from industry | examples=industrial output
2. having highly developed industries | examples=the industrial revolution
3. employed in industry | examples=the industrial classes
4. suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting

"Industrial Relations" refers to the field dealing with relationships between employers and employees, trade unions, etc. This relates to "industry" in the sense of economic activity involving manufacturing and production.

Sense 1 says "of or relating to or resulting from industry". Industrial relations are relations pertaining to industry (employment, labor, management in industrial/business settings). This seems to fit.

Sense 3 "employed in industry" - this would describe people who work in industry, but "industrial relations" isn't describing people who are employed.

Sense 2 is about the state of having developed industries.

Sense 4 is about durability/wear.

So Sense 1 seems correct: "of or relating to or resulting from industry" - industrial relations are relations concerning industry (the economic sector).

Wait, let me double-check. In the context of the European Commission, "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" - this is a directorate that deals with employment matters, industrial relations (labor relations), and social affairs.

"Industrial relations" specifically means: "the dealings or relationships of an industrial concern with its employees, esp. as they affect the terms and conditions of employment" or "the field of study concerned with this".

This is definitely related to Sense 1: relating to industry.

But let me reconsider if there's any ambiguity. Could it be Sense 3? "employed in industry" - no, that doesn't fit. The relations aren't employed; they are relations concerning industry.

Actually, looking more carefully at Sense 3: "employed in industry | examples=the industrial classes". This refers to people working in industry.

Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry" - this covers things like "industrial output", "industrial policy", "industrial relations".

Yes, Sense 1 is the correct answer.

The answer should be just the number: 1

Which numbered sense of "commission" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European <t>Commission</t> Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter;  - Milton Berle | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. definition=a fee for services rendered based on a percentage of an amount received or collected or agreed to be paid (as distinguished from a salary) | examples=he works on commission
3. definition=the act of granting authority to undertake certain functions
4. definition=the state of being in good working order and ready for operation | examples=put the ships into commission
5. definition=a group of representatives or delegates
6. definition=a formal statement of a command or injunction to do something | examples=the judge's charge to the jury
7. definition=an official document issued by a government and conferring on the recipient the rank of an officer in the armed forces
8. definition=the act of committing a crime
9. definition=a special assignment that is given to a person or group | examples=a confidential mission to London

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "commission" is used in the provided sentence.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European <t>Commission</t> Fernando Gomes..."

The key phrase here is "European Commission". This refers to the European Commission, which is the executive branch of the European Union. It's a group of representatives or delegates that governs the EU.

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter; - This sounds like a committee or temporary group. The European Commission is a permanent executive body, not just a special group delegated to consider some matter.
2. definition=a fee for services rendered - Not applicable here.
3. definition=the act of granting authority - Not applicable.
4. definition=the state of being in good working order - Not applicable (this is about putting ships into commission).
5. definition=a group of representatives or delegates - This fits well. The European Commission is a group of representatives/delegates (commissioners) from EU member states.
6. definition=a formal statement of a command - Not applicable.
7. definition=an official document conferring military rank - Not applicable.
8. definition=the act of committing a crime - Not applicable.
9. definition=a special assignment - Not applicable.

Sense 5 "a group of representatives or delegates" seems to be the best fit for "European Commission".

Sense 1 mentions "a special group delegated to consider some matter" which is close but typically refers to temporary committees (like a "Royal Commission" or investigation panel), whereas the European Commission is a permanent governing body made up of representatives.

Sense 5 specifically mentions "a group of representatives or delegates" which accurately describes the European Commission - it's composed of commissioners (delegates/representatives) from each EU member state.

Actually, looking more carefully:
Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - examples mention "committee"
Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"

The European Commission fits sense 5 better than sense 1. It's a body of commissioners (representatives).

Wait, let me reconsider if sense 1 could apply. The European Commission is often referred to as "the Commission" and it is a governing body. In WordNet or similar lexical databases, "commission" often has specific senses.

Let me think about typical dictionary definitions:
- European Commission: the executive body of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, etc.
- It's composed of a group of commissioners.

Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates" - this seems like the definition of "commission" as in "the commission met to discuss the issue" referring to a governing body or board.

Sense 1 is more like a temporary committee appointed to investigate something specific.

Therefore, sense 5 is the correct answer.

Which numbered sense of "high" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Senses:
1. definition=greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount | examples=a high temperature
2. definition=(literal meaning) being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation or upward extension (sometimes used in combinations like `knee-high') | examples=a high mountain

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "high" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence:

"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

Wait, looking at the sentence structure, it seems like there might be some punctuation issues or it's a list of speakers. Let me look at the phrase containing "high":

"a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions"

Hmm, that doesn't look quite right grammatically. Let me look again. It says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - that seems odd. Maybe it's "a high degree of [something]"?

Actually, looking more carefully: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions"

Wait, that doesn't make sense. Let me reconsider. Maybe the sentence is: "Fernando Gomes, a high [ranking member] of Committee of the Regions"? Or is it "a high degree of" something?

Actually, looking at the context, it seems like the sentence might be: "Fernando Gomes, a high [official] of Committee of the Regions" or similar. But the text says "a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions" which is strange.

Wait, let me read it again: "Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions"

Actually, I think I see the issue. The sentence might be poorly constructed or OCR'd. But looking at the phrase "a high degree" - this would mean "a great degree" or "a large amount/level".

But wait, looking at the context of titles and positions:
- Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission
- Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions
- Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament
- José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament
- John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee

Actually, looking at this again, I think "degree" here might be a typo or OCR error for "delegate" or "member"? Or perhaps it's "a high degree" as in "a high degree of representation"?

But the word in question is "high" modifying "degree". So "a high degree" would mean a great/large degree.

Looking at the senses:
1. greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount | examples=a high temperature
2. (literal meaning) being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation or upward extension | examples=a high mountain
3. standing above others in quality or position | examples=people in high places
4. used of sounds and voices; high in pitch or frequency
5. happy and excited and energetic
6. (used of the smell of meat) smelling spoiled or tainted
7. slightly and pleasantly intoxicated from alcohol or a drug

If the phrase is "a high degree", then "high" means "great" or "large" - which matches sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount".

But wait, looking at the sentence again, is it possible that "degree" is not the word being modified? Let me look: "a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions"

Actually, this looks like it might be a corrupted sentence. But assuming the word "high" is modifying "degree", then sense 1 would apply.

However, looking at the pattern of the other entries:
- Cristina Louro, [title], [organization]
- Fernando Gomes, a high [something] of Committee of the Regions
- Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament
- José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament
- John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee

Given that the others have titles like "Member", "Vice-President", it's possible that "high" here is part of a title like "high official" or "high representative", but the text says "degree".

Wait, could it be "a high degree" meaning an advanced academic degree? Like a PhD? But then "of Committee of the Regions" doesn't make sense.

Let me reconsider the sentence structure. Maybe it's: "Fernando Gomes, a high [ranking] degree..." No, that doesn't work.

Or perhaps: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree [holder] of Committee of the Regions"?

Actually, looking at the sentence very carefully: "Fernando Gomes, a <t>high</t> degree of Committee of the Regions"

I think there might be an error in the sentence, or "degree" is being used in a specialized way. But if we take "high degree" as a phrase meaning "a large extent" or "a great level", then sense 1 applies.

But wait - could "high" be modifying a noun that's implied? Like "a high [official]"? If "degree" is a typo for "delegate", then "high delegate" would use sense 3 (standing above others in quality or position).

However, I should work with what's actually there: "a high degree".

"High degree" = great degree, large degree. This is clearly sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount".

Examples given for sense 1: "a high temperature" - this is similar to "a high degree" (both refer to magnitude/intensity).

Sense 3 is about position/rank: "people in high places". While "high" can refer to rank, when we say "high degree", we usually mean magnitude, not rank. A "high degree" is about the intensity or amount of something.

For example:
- "He has a high degree of competence" = he is very competent (sense 1 - intensity/amount)
- "He holds a high degree" = he has a PhD or similar (sense 3? No, this is still about the level/grade of the academic qualification, which is sense 1)

Actually, looking at academic degrees: "a high degree" would mean an advanced degree like a master's or PhD as opposed to a bachelor's. This could be interpreted as sense 3 (standing above others in position) or sense 1 (greater than normal in degree).

But given the example for sense 1 is "a high temperature", and "high degree" is similar to "high temperature" (both measurable/intensity), I think sense 1 is the answer.

Wait, I need to be more careful. The phrase is "a high degree of Committee of the Regions". This is very awkward.

Could it be that the sentence is listing multiple people and their titles, and "degree" here means something else? Or is it possible that the text has been corrupted?

Let me look for this sentence online or see if it's from a specific dataset. This looks like it might be from a Word Sense Disambiguation dataset like SemCor or similar.

Actually, looking at the pattern, this might be from the WordNet sense tagged corpus. The format with <t></t> tags suggests this is from a specific WSD dataset.

In WordNet, "high" has these senses (roughly):
1. high (vs. low) - greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount
2. high (vs. low) - literal elevation
3. high (vs. low) - standing above others in quality or position
4. high (vs. low) - pitch
5. high (vs. low) - in a rich manner
6. gamey, high - (used of the smell of meat) smelling spoiled or tainted
7. high, mellow - slightly and pleasantly intoxicated

Given the phrase "a high degree", this is almost certainly sense 1. "Degree" here means extent or level, and "high" means great or intense.

For example, "a high degree of accuracy", "a high degree of difficulty", "a high degree of consensus".

So "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" would mean something like "a great extent of Committee of the Regions" or perhaps it's a typo and should be "a high degree of representation from Committee of the Regions" or similar.

But regardless, "high" modifying "degree" to mean "great/large" is sense 1.

Let me double-check if there's any other interpretation. Could "high" be part of a proper noun? Like "High Degree" as a title? Unlikely.

Could it be "high" as in "high official"? If the word "degree" is extraneous or a typo, and it should be "a high [official] of Committee of the Regions", then it would be sense 3 (standing above others in position).

But given the exact text provided: "a <t>high</t> degree", I must assume "degree" is the correct word. Therefore, "high degree" = sense 1.

Actually, looking one more time at the sentence: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions"

Wait! Could this be "Fernando Gomes, a high degree, of Committee of the Regions..." where "degree" is the title? Like an academic degree? And he is "of Committee of the Regions"?

Or could it be that the sentence is: "Fernando Gomes, a high [ranking] degree-holder of Committee of the Regions"?

This is quite confusing. But the most straightforward reading is that "high" modifies "degree", and "degree" means level or extent. So sense 1.

However, I want to reconsider sense 3. Is there any way "high degree" could mean a prestigious academic degree? In that case, "high" would mean "standing above others in quality or position" (sense 3).

For example, "He holds a high degree from Harvard" - here "high" could mean prestigious/high-ranking (sense 3) or advanced (sense 1).

But typically, when we say "high degree" without specifying the field or institution, we mean "great extent" (sense 1).

Also, looking at the example for sense 3: "people in high places" - this is about social/organizational position.

The example for sense 1: "a high temperature" - this is about measurable intensity.

"A high degree" is more like temperature (measurable quantity) than like social position.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

But let me reconsider the sentence one more time. Is it possible that "degree" is not the word being modified, but rather "high" is a separate descriptor?

"a high, degree of Committee of the Regions" - no, that doesn't make sense.

"a high degree-of-Committee-of-the-Regions" - treating it as a compound? No.

Given the context of a list of conference speakers with their affiliations, and the pattern:
- Name, Title, Organization
- Name, Title, Organization

For Fernando Gomes, if he is described as "a high degree of Committee of the Regions", this is nonsensical as written.

Unless... "degree" here means "delegate"? As in a typo? "a high delegate of Committee of the Regions"?

Or "a high degree" = "a high-ranking member"?

Given the uncertainty, I should look at what makes the most sense linguistically. The collocation "high degree" is extremely common and almost always means "great extent" (sense 1).

For example, from COCA or similar corpora:
- "a high degree of accuracy"
- "a high degree of confidence"
- "a high degree of uncertainty"

So I will go with sense 1.

Wait, I want to check one more thing. Could "high" be used as an adverb here? No, it's clearly an adjective modifying "degree".

Could the sentence be: "Fernando Gomes, a High Degree of Committee of the Regions" where "High Degree" is a specific title? Like "His Highness" but "High Degree"? That seems very unlikely.

Therefore, my final answer is 1.

Wait, looking at the sentence, it says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions". That seems a bit odd. Let me re-read. Actually, looking more carefully:

"Fernando Gomes, a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions"

Hmm, that doesn't make grammatical sense. Let me look again. Maybe it's "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions"? No, that can't be right. Let me parse the sentence more carefully.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure, it seems like there might be some missing punctuation or the sentence is listing people and their affiliations. Let me try to parse it:

Key speakers... were:
1. Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission
2. Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions? No...

Wait, maybe it's: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - that still doesn't make sense.

Let me look at the original again: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions"

Oh! Maybe it's a typo in the sentence provided, or maybe it's "a high degree of" something else? Actually, looking at it, could it be "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - no.

Wait, maybe the text is garbled. Let me reconsider. Could it be "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" where "Committee" is part of a proper noun "Committee of the Regions"?

Actually, "Committee of the Regions" is an actual EU institution. It's the European Committee of the Regions. So the phrase is likely "Committee of the Regions" as a proper noun referring to a specific committee.

But the sentence says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions". That still seems wrong. Let me look once more.

Maybe it's: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - could "a high degree of" be a typo for something like "advisor to" or "representative of"? Or maybe the sentence is: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of [something], Committee of the Regions"?

Actually, looking at the pattern:
- Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission
- Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions? No...

Wait, could it be "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" where "Committee" is in <t> tags? The user says the word is marked with <t></t>.

Let me look at the exact text: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions"

Hmm. Maybe the sentence has OCR errors or is malformed. But regardless, the key question is: what sense of "committee" is being used?

The phrase is "Committee of the Regions". This refers to a specific institutional body - the Committee of the Regions of the European Union. It's a specific group delegated to consider some matter (or rather, an advisory body).

Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - examples mention "Milton Berle | a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours"
Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something"

The Committee of the Regions is an official EU body - it's a committee in the sense of a group of people appointed or delegated to perform a function. This fits sense 1: a special group delegated to consider some matter (or in this case, an advisory committee).

Sense 2 is more like a voluntary organization, club, or association formed to promote something (like "a committee to elect someone" or "the organizing committee").

Actually, looking at the definitions again:
1. definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter; - Milton Berle | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. definition=a self-constituted organization to promote something

Wait, sense 2 says "self-constituted organization to promote something" - that sounds more like an advocacy group or a promotional committee that forms itself. But "Committee of the Regions" is an official EU institution.

However, I need to be careful. The sentence says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions". This is very strange. Could it be that the sentence is actually: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of [something], Committee of the Regions"? But the <t> tags are only around "Committee".

Actually, looking at the sentence again, maybe it's: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of <t>Committee</t> of the Regions" - and the user made an error in the sentence? Or maybe it's "Fernando Gomes, a high representative of Committee of the Regions" but OCR'd as "high degree of"?

Regardless, "Committee of the Regions" is a proper noun referring to an institutional committee. In WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 1 is the standard sense for a committee as a group delegated to consider some matter. Sense 2 is usually for "committee" as in a group that self-organizes to promote something (like a political committee).

Actually, looking at WordNet senses for "committee":
- Sense 1: committee, commission -- (a special group delegated to consider some matter; "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - Milton Berle)
- Sense 2: committee, citizens committee -- (a self-constituted organization to promote something)

The Committee of the Regions is an official advisory body of the EU. It is a group of representatives from regional and local authorities. It fits sense 1 much better than sense 2. It's not a self-constituted organization; it's an official EU institution established by treaty.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

But wait, let me double-check the sentence. Is it possible that "Committee" here is being used in a different way? The sentence says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions". If we take this literally, it makes no sense. But if we assume the sentence is listing affiliations, and "Committee of the Regions" is the affiliation, then it's the institutional sense.

Actually, looking at the sentence once more: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - could "degree" be "delegate"? Like "a high delegate of Committee of the Regions"? If it's "delegate", then it makes sense. But the text says "degree".

Regardless of the surrounding context words that might be OCR errors, "Committee of the Regions" is clearly referring to the EU's Committee of the Regions, which is a formal committee (sense 1).

So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "member" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, <t>Member</t> of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

Senses:
1. definition=one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization) | examples=only members will be admitted
2. definition=anything that belongs to a set or class | examples=snakes are members of the class Reptilia
3. definition=an external body part that projects from the body | examples=it is important to keep the extremities warm
4. definition=an organization that is a member of another organization (especially a state that belongs to a group of nations) | examples=the library was a member of the interlibrary loan association
5. definition=the male organ of copulation (`member' is a euphemism)

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "member" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence:

"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, <t>Member</t> of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The word "Member" appears in the phrase "Member of the European Parliament". This refers to Barbara Weiler being a member (representative) of the European Parliament.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization)" - examples: "only members will be admitted"
   - This seems to fit. A Member of Parliament is a person who is part of the legislative body/organization.

2. "anything that belongs to a set or class" - examples: "snakes are members of the class Reptilia"
   - This is about classification/taxonomy, not about people belonging to organizations.

3. "an external body part that projects from the body" - examples: "it is important to keep the extremities warm"
   - This is anatomical (like limbs), not relevant here.

4. "an organization that is a member of another organization (especially a state that belongs to a group of nations)" - examples: "the library was a member of the interlibrary loan association"
   - This refers to organizations being members of other organizations, not individuals.

5. "the male organ of copulation (`member' is a euphemism)"
   - This is a euphemism for penis, clearly not relevant here.

So sense 1 is the correct one. Barbara Weiler is a person who is part of the European Parliament (a group/organization).

Wait, let me double-check sense 4. It says "an organization that is a member of another organization". But the European Parliament is an organization, and Barbara Weiler is a person who is a member of it. So sense 1 is definitely the right choice because it refers to individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 4: "an organization that is a member of another organization" - this would be like "France is a member of the EU" or "The library is a member of the association." But in the sentence, Barbara Weiler is a person, not an organization, so sense 4 doesn't apply.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "parliament" is used in the given sentence.

The sentence mentions: "Barbara Weiler, Member of the European <t>Parliament</t>"

This clearly refers to the European Parliament, which is a legislative assembly of the European Union.

Looking at the senses:
1. definition=a legislative assembly in certain countries
2. definition=a card game in which you play your sevens and other cards in sequence in the same suit as the sevens; you win if you are the first to use all your cards

Sense 1 is clearly the correct one, as the European Parliament is a legislative body. Sense 2 refers to a card game (also known as "sevens" or "fan tan"), which is completely unrelated to the context.

The answer should be just the number: 1

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European <t>Parliament</t> and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "parliament" is used in the given sentence. The word is marked with <t></t> tags in the sentence.

Let me look at the sentence:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European <t>Parliament</t> and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

The context mentions:
- "Member of the European Parliament"
- "Vice-President, European Parliament"

This is clearly referring to the European Parliament, which is a legislative assembly of the European Union.

Now looking at the senses:
1. definition=a legislative assembly in certain countries
2. definition=a card game in which you play your sevens and other cards in sequence in the same suit as the sevens; you win if you are the first to use all your cards

Sense 1 fits perfectly because the European Parliament is indeed a legislative assembly. While it's not a "country" per se, it is a legislative body of the European Union (which functions somewhat like a country in many respects, or at least is a political entity with a legislative assembly).

Sense 2 is clearly a card game, which doesn't fit the context at all.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Wait, let me double-check the exact wording of sense 1: "a legislative assembly in certain countries"

The European Parliament is the legislative assembly of the European Union. While the EU is not exactly a country, it is often treated as a political entity with parliamentary institutions. In dictionary definitions, "parliament" sense 1 typically covers legislative bodies like the European Parliament, even though the EU isn't a single country. The definition says "in certain countries" but this is likely a general definition that would include supranational legislative bodies like the European Parliament, or the definition might be interpreted broadly.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary entries, "parliament" usually refers to the legislative body in a country, but "European Parliament" is a specific proper noun referring to the legislative institution of the EU. The sense is definitely the legislative one, not the card game.

So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "economic" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, <t>Economic</t> and Social Committee.

3. definition=using the minimum of time or resources necessary for effectiveness | examples=an economic use of home heating oil
4. definition=concerned with worldly necessities of life (especially money) | examples=he wrote the book primarily for economic reasons
5. definition=financially rewarding | examples=it was no longer economic to keep the factory open

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "economic" is used in the given sentence.

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, <t>Economic</t> and Social Committee."

 The word "Economic" is capitalized and appears in the phrase "Economic and Social Committee". This refers to the "European Economic and Social Committee" (EESC), which is an institution of the European Union.

 Let me look at the context:
 - It's talking about various committees and institutions (European Commission, Committee of the Regions, European Parliament)
 - "Economic and Social Committee" is a proper noun referring to a specific committee

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth" - examples: economic growth
    - This relates to the economy as a system.

 2. "of or relating to the science of economics" - examples: economic theory
    - This relates to the academic discipline.

 3. "using the minimum of time or resources necessary for effectiveness" - examples: an economic use of home heating oil
    - This means efficient or thrifty.

 4. "concerned with worldly necessities of life (especially money)" - examples: he wrote the book primarily for economic reasons
    - This relates to financial or monetary considerations.

 5. "financially rewarding" - examples: it was no longer economic to keep the factory open
    - This means profitable or viable.

 In the context of "Economic and Social Committee", the word "Economic" is part of the name of the committee. The European Economic and Social Committee is an advisory body of the European Union that represents various stakeholder groups (employers, workers, and other interest groups).

 The word "economic" here refers to the economy in the sense of the system of production and management of material wealth (relating to business, industry, trade, etc.), as opposed to "social" which relates to society and social welfare.

 This matches sense 1: "of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth".

 Wait, let me double-check. Is it sense 1 or sense 2?

 Sense 1: relating to an economy (the system)
 Sense 2: relating to the science of economics

 The European Economic and Social Committee deals with economic and social issues, meaning issues related to the economy (business, trade, industry, employment) and social issues. So it's using "economic" in the sense of "relating to the economy" (the actual economic system), not specifically the science of economics.

 However, looking at the specific example "economic growth" for sense 1 - yes, that refers to the economy as a system.

 The phrase "Economic and Social Committee" contrasts economic matters with social matters. Economic here means relating to the economy/production/wealth.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 But let me reconsider if it could be sense 4 ("concerned with worldly necessities of life (especially money)")? No, that's more about personal financial motivations.

 Sense 5 is about profitability.

 Sense 3 is about efficiency.

 So it's between 1 and 2. The European Economic and Social Committee deals with economic policy and social policy. Economic policy relates to the functioning of the economy (sense 1), not necessarily the academic study of it (sense 2), though they are related.

 Actually, looking carefully at the definitions:
 1. "of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth"
 2. "of or relating to the science of economics"

 The European Economic and Social Committee is concerned with the actual economy (trade, business, employment, etc.), not just the theoretical study of it. So sense 1 is correct.

 Wait, I should verify: is there any other interpretation?

 The word appears in the proper name "Economic and Social Committee". This is almost certainly referring to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).

 In this context, "Economic" modifies "Committee" and indicates that the committee deals with economic matters - i.e., matters relating to the economy.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

 Let me check if there's any trick here. The sentence structure is: "John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."

 This means John Carroll is from the Economic and Social Committee. The capitalized "Economic" suggests it's part of the proper name.

 Yes, sense 1.

 Final check: Could it be sense 4? "concerned with worldly necessities of life (especially money)" - no, that's about personal motives. Could it be sense 2? While the committee might employ economic science, the primary meaning is relating to the economy itself.

 Yes, 1.

 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "social" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

The sentence is: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and <t>Social</t> Committee."

The word "social" appears in the phrase "Economic and Social Committee".

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=relating to human society and its members | examples=social institutions
2. definition=living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups | examples=a human being is a social animal
3. definition=relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society | examples=made fun of her being so social and high-toned

5. definition=tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind | examples=ants are social insects
6. definition=marked by friendly companionship with others | examples=a social cup of coffee

The phrase "Economic and Social Committee" refers to a committee that deals with economic and social matters. In the context of the European Union (which this appears to be, given mentions of European Commission, European Parliament, Committee of the Regions), the "Economic and Social Committee" (now called the European Economic and Social Committee) is an institution that deals with social policy and economic matters relating to society.

The word "social" here means "relating to human society and its members" or relating to social affairs/policy. This matches sense 1: "relating to human society and its members".

Let me double-check:
- Sense 1: relating to human society and its members (e.g., social institutions, social affairs, social policy)
- Sense 2: living together or enjoying life in communities (biological/sociological sense of being social animals)
- Sense 3: high society (upper class)
- Sense 4: for the purpose of sociability (social clubs, social events)
- Sense 5: biological term for colonial organisms (ants, bees)
- Sense 6: friendly companionship (a social visit)

In "Economic and Social Committee", "social" refers to matters concerning society, social welfare, social policy, etc. This is clearly sense 1.

The phrase "Social Affairs Directorate" earlier in the sentence also uses "social" in the same sense - relating to society and its members.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Let me look at the sentence:
"Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social <t>Committee</t>."

Wait, looking at the sentence structure, it seems like there might be some formatting issues or missing punctuation, but I can see that "Economic and Social Committee" appears at the end. This refers to the "European Economic and Social Committee" which is an institution of the European Union.

Now let me look at the two senses provided:

Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - examples mention "Milton Berle" and "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours"

Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something"

The "Economic and Social Committee" (European Economic and Social Committee) is an advisory body of the European Union. It represents organized civil society and is composed of representatives of various economic and social interest groups.

Is this a "special group delegated to consider some matter" or a "self-constituted organization to promote something"?

The European Economic and Social Committee is an official EU institution/body that advises on economic and social issues. It's a formal committee established by treaty (delegated/established to consider matters), not a self-constituted organization.

Sense 1 seems to fit better: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - this describes an official body appointed or established to deal with specific matters.

Sense 2 "a self-constituted organization to promote something" sounds more like an NGO or advocacy group that forms itself to promote a cause, rather than an official governmental or institutional body.

The European Economic and Social Committee is an institutional body established by the EU treaties to advise on economic and social policy. It fits the definition of being a group delegated to consider matters (specifically economic and social matters).

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

Wait, let me double-check the sentence. The marked word is at the end: "Economic and Social <t>Committee</t>". This is clearly referring to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).

Sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" - This is the standard definition of a committee as a body appointed to perform a specific function, often governmental or organizational.

Sense 2: "a self-constituted organization to promote something" - This sounds like a voluntary association or pressure group.

The EESC is definitely sense 1 - it's an official advisory body established by treaty to consider economic and social matters.

Actually, looking at the examples for sense 1: "Milton Berle" and "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - these suggest a somewhat generic or traditional definition of a committee as a working group.

But sense 2 with "self-constituted organization to promote something" - is that like a steering committee or advocacy committee?

Let me reconsider. In WordNet or similar lexical databases, the senses are often:

1. A special group delegated to consider some matter; "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - Milton Berle
2. A self-constituted organization to promote something

The European Economic and Social Committee is an official EU institution. It's not "self-constituted" - it was established by the Treaties. It is a "special group delegated to consider some matter" - specifically delegated to advise on economic and social issues.

So the answer is 1.

But wait, I should check if there's any ambiguity. The phrase is "Economic and Social Committee" - this is a proper name of a specific institution.

Sense 1 is the general sense of a committee as a body appointed to deal with specific matters.
Sense 2 is more like a voluntary association.

The EESC fits sense 1.

Actually, looking at the sentence again, I see "Committee of the Regions" mentioned earlier, and then "Economic and Social Committee" at the end. Both are EU institutions.

Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice.

One more check: could it be sense 2? Is the Economic and Social Committee "self-constituted"? No, it's established by the EU treaties. Is it to "promote something"? It advises, but its primary role is consultative regarding legislative matters, not promotional in the sense of advocacy.

Therefore: 1

Which numbered sense of "case_study" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: <t>Case Studies</t> Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community.

Senses:
1. definition=a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure
2. definition=a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "case_study" is used in the given sentence.

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."

 The context is about national reports containing portfolios of initiatives (25-30 of them) that present policies and practices regarding ageing workers.

 Now let's look at the two senses:

 Sense 1: "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure"
 - This seems to focus on analyzing a specific unit/organization to determine success/failure factors.

 Sense 2: "a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view"
 - This focuses on analyzing a person or group from social/psychological/medical perspectives.

 In the sentence, we're talking about "initiatives which best present policies and practices" regarding "ageing workers." These sound like detailed examinations or analyses of specific situations, programs, or examples that illustrate how to improve recruitment, training, and development of ageing workers.

 Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence mentions "a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives." These initiatives are described as case studies.

 Looking at the context more carefully:
 - It's about national reports
 - Containing 25-30 initiatives
 - These initiatives "best present policies and practices"
 - Regarding "ageing workers"

 This sounds like these are detailed examinations or analyses of specific programs, policies, or situations (case studies) that serve as examples.

 Now, which sense fits better?

 Sense 1 mentions "social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation)" and determining "what factors led to its success or failure."

 Sense 2 mentions "a person or group" from "social or psychological or medical point of view."

 The context is about workplace and community initiatives regarding ageing workers. These could be:
 - Analyses of specific companies/programs (Sense 1)
 - Analyses of specific groups of workers (Sense 2)

 But the phrase "initiatives which best present policies and practices" suggests these are examples or analyses of programs/approaches, which aligns more with Sense 1's focus on studying social units (like corporations or divisions) to understand success factors.

 However, looking at the specific wording again: "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers"

 Actually, I need to be careful. The sentence is describing what the case studies are. The case studies are these "initiatives" that are being documented in the national reports.

 Let me think about typical usage. In business and policy contexts, "case studies" often refers to detailed examinations of specific examples or instances (like a company's approach to something) to illustrate best practices or lessons learned.

 Sense 1: studying a social unit to determine success/failure factors
 Sense 2: detailed analysis of a person or group from social/psychological/medical view

 The context mentions "ageing workers" which could suggest a focus on people (Sense 2), but it mentions "initiatives" and "policies and practices" which suggests organizational/programmatic focus (Sense 1).

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices..."

 The "Case Studies" (in the title/heading position marked by <t></t>) refers to these initiatives. These are likely detailed descriptions/analyses of specific programs or approaches.

 But wait, I should look at whether these are:
 1. Studies of organizations/companies (Sense 1)
 2. Studies of individuals or groups of people (Sense 2)

 The focus is on "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers." This sounds like organizational or programmatic case studies - looking at what companies or programs are doing (Sense 1), rather than clinical or psychological studies of individuals (Sense 2).

 However, Sense 2 mentions "group" not just individuals, and "social... point of view" not just medical.

 Let me reconsider the exact definitions:
 1. "social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation)" - organizational focus
 2. "person or group" - individual or collective focus, social/psychological/medical perspective

 The context is about workplace and community initiatives regarding ageing workers. This could fit either, but "initiatives" and "policies and practices" strongly suggests organizational/programmatic examples.

 But actually, looking at typical WordNet or dictionary definitions for case study:
 - Sense 1 is the business/management definition
 - Sense 2 is the clinical/social science definition

 The sentence mentions "national report," "portfolio," "initiatives," "policies and practices," "work place." This is clearly a business/policy context, not a clinical or psychological context. Therefore, Sense 1 is more appropriate.

 Wait, I want to double-check. Could it be Sense 2? Sense 2 mentions "social... point of view" which could fit with social policy. But the key distinction is:
 - Sense 1: studying a unit/organization to determine success/failure
 - Sense 2: analyzing a person or group

 The sentence says these case studies are "initiatives which best present policies and practices." An "initiative" in this context is typically a program or project undertaken by an organization. So studying these initiatives would be studying organizational units or programs to see what works (success factors).

 Therefore, Sense 1 seems correct.

 But let me reconsider once more. The sentence says the national report contains initiatives. Are these initiatives themselves the case studies? Or are the case studies about these initiatives?

 "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives..."
 The <t>Case Studies</t> appears to be the title/heading for this section. So the section contains case studies, and these case studies are described as "initiatives which best present policies and practices..."

 So the case studies = these initiatives = detailed examinations of specific situations.

 If these are initiatives (programs, projects) being studied as examples, then Sense 1 fits best because they are studying social units (organizations, programs) to present best practices (success factors).

 Sense 2 would be more like: "A case study of John, a 60-year-old worker, revealed his training needs..." - focusing on the individual or group from a psychological/social perspective.

 Here, the focus is on "policies and practices" in the "work place and community" - organizational and programmatic focus.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again, I want to make sure I'm not missing something. "Case Studies" is in the title. The sentence describes what these case studies contain: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives..."

 So the case studies are these 25-30 initiatives. Or the case studies describe these initiatives.

 Either way, they are examining specific examples of programs/policies to illustrate best practices. This aligns with Sense 1.

 I should confirm: is there any ambiguity? Could "ageing workers" make it Sense 2? Sense 2 mentions studying a "group" from a "social... point of view." Ageing workers are a group. But the focus is on "recruitment, training and development" which are organizational activities, and "policies and practices" which are organizational attributes. The perspective is policy-oriented, not psychological or medical.

 Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.
