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

Sentence: "In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts <t>choose</t> a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives."

Here, "choose" means that the congressional districts selected/picked a candidate. The districts are selecting from alternatives (different candidates from different parties).

Let me look at the senses:

1. "pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives" - This seems to fit. The districts are selecting candidates from the available options (different party candidates).

2. "select as an alternative over another" - This implies a preference or choosing one thing instead of another. The example shows choosing fish over meat. In the sentence, the districts are choosing candidates, but it's not necessarily emphasizing choosing one over another in the sense of preference, but rather making a selection.

3. "see fit or proper to act in a certain way; decide to act in a certain way" - This is about deciding to do something or not do something. The example is about choosing not to attend classes. This doesn't fit because the districts aren't deciding to act in a certain way; they're selecting candidates.

Sense 1 seems to be the best fit. The congressional districts are selecting/picking candidates from the available alternatives (the candidates from different parties).

Wait, let me reconsider. The sentence says districts "choose a different party's candidate." This is about the act of voting/selection. The districts (meaning the voters in those districts) are selecting candidates.

Sense 1: "pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives"
Sense 2: "select as an alternative over another"

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 2: "select as an alternative over another" - this could apply because they are choosing one candidate over another. But sense 1 is more general - just selecting from alternatives.

In the context of elections, when we say districts "choose" a candidate, we mean they select that candidate from the available options. This is the basic meaning of choose - to select from alternatives.

Sense 2 specifically mentions "as an alternative over another" which suggests a comparative choice where one is preferred over another. While voting does involve choosing one over another, sense 1 is the more general definition that covers selecting candidates in an election.

Let me look at the examples again:
Sense 1: "Take any one of these cards" - selecting from options
Sense 2: "I always choose the fish over the meat courses" - preferring one over another
Sense 3: "She chose not to attend" - deciding to act (or not act)

In the sentence, the districts are selecting candidates. It's a straightforward selection from available alternatives (the candidates). This matches sense 1.

However, there's a subtlety: the sentence mentions choosing "a different party's candidate for the White House than for the House of Representatives." This implies a split ticket - choosing one party for president and another for congress. But the word "choose" itself is still referring to the act of selecting the candidate.

Actually, looking at the structure: "choose a different party's candidate" - this is the direct object. The districts are selecting candidates. This is sense 1.

But wait, could it be sense 2? "select as an alternative over another" - are they selecting a candidate as an alternative over another candidate?

In voting, you do select one candidate over others. But sense 1 is the primary definition for selecting from options in a general sense. Sense 2 seems to emphasize the "over another" aspect more specifically, like preferring one option to another.

Let me think about the specific wording in the sentence. The districts choose a candidate. This is a straightforward selection. The fact that it's "a different party's candidate than for the House" describes which candidate they chose, but the act of choosing itself is just selecting from the available candidates.

I think sense 1 is correct.

Actually, looking at similar dictionary entries for "choose" in WordNet or similar resources:
Sense 1 is usually the general sense of selecting from alternatives.
Sense 2 often involves preference: "I chose to go" or choosing one thing over another.
Sense 3 is about deciding to do something.

In this context, the districts (voters) are casting votes to select a candidate. This is sense 1.

Wait, I should be more careful. The sentence is about historical election data. "congressional districts choose a candidate" - this is metonymy where the district stands for the voters in the district. They are selecting candidates.

This is definitely sense 1: pick out, select, or choose from a number of alternatives.

The answer should be 1.

Sentence: 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.

Senses:

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

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 "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."

 The context is about presidential elections, congressional districts, candidates for the White House and House of Representatives. This is clearly a political context.

 Looking at the senses:
 1. definition=an organization to gain political power | examples=in 1992 Perot tried to organize a third party at the national level
 2. definition=a group of people gathered together for pleasure | examples=she joined the party after dinner
 3. definition=a band of people associated temporarily in some activity | examples=they organized a party to search for food
 4. definition=an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment | examples=he planned a party to celebrate Bastille Day
 5. definition=a person involved in legal proceedings | examples=the party of the first part

 The sentence is talking about choosing a "party's candidate" for political offices (White House and House of Representatives). This refers to political parties - organizations that gain political power and run candidates for office.

 Sense 1 matches perfectly: "an organization to gain political power" with the example mentioning a "third party" at the national level.

 The other senses don't fit:
 - Sense 2 is about a social gathering
 - Sense 3 is about a temporary group for an activity
 - Sense 4 is about a social event/occasion
 - Sense 5 is about a legal party

 The answer is 1.

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

Sentence: In only one presidential election year prior to 1948 did more than 20% of the nation's congressional districts choose a different party's <t>candidate</t> for the White House than for the House of Representatives.

Senses:
1. definition=a politician who is running for public office
2. definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of "candidate" is used in the given sentence. 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 <t>candidate</t> for the White House than for the House of Representatives."

The two senses are:
1. definition=a politician who is running for public office
2. definition=someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is talking about presidential elections and congressional districts choosing candidates. Specifically, it mentions "candidate for the White House" - this refers to someone running for President of the United States.

Sense 1 says "a politician who is running for public office" - this fits because the White House refers to the presidency, which is a public office, and the person running for it would be a politician running for public office.

Sense 2 is broader: "someone who is considered for something (for an office or prize or honor etc.)" - while technically a presidential candidate is someone considered for an office, sense 1 is more specific and fits better in this political context. The sentence is clearly discussing elections and political offices (White House and House of Representatives).

In WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 1 typically refers to the political candidate sense, while sense 2 is the more general sense. Given the context of "presidential election year," "congressional districts," "party," "White House," and "House of Representatives," this is clearly referring to political candidates running for office.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Now that <t>percentage</t> routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%.

Senses:
1. definition=a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)
2. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash

reasoning_content:
{"1": "a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)", "2": "assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash"}

The sentence says "Now that <t>percentage</t> routinely equals a third and twice has been above 40%."

The context is clearly about a proportion or rate (a third, 40%). This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 is about assets/shares belonging to a person or group, which doesn't fit the context of "equals a third" and "above 40%".

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: Now that percentage routinely <t>equals</t> a third and twice has been above 40%.

Senses:
1. definition=be identical or equivalent to | examples=One dollar equals 1,000 rubles these days!
2. definition=be equal to in quality or ability | examples=Nothing can rival cotton for durability
3. definition=make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching | examples=let's equalize the duties among all employees in this office

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

 The sentence is: "Now that percentage routinely <t>equals</t> a third and twice has been above 40%."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "percentage" is the subject
 - "equals" is the verb
 - "a third" (meaning 1/3 or 33.33%) is the object/complement

 So the percentage is being stated to be equivalent to or identical to a third (33.33%).

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=be identical or equivalent to | examples=One dollar equals 1,000 rubles these days!
    - This fits. The percentage is equivalent to a third (33.33%). Just like one dollar is equivalent to 1,000 rubles.

 2. definition=be equal to in quality or ability | examples=Nothing can rival cotton for durability
    - This is about comparison of quality or ability. The sentence is comparing numerical values, not qualities. So this doesn't fit.

 3. definition=make equal, uniform, corresponding, or matching | examples=let's equalize the duties among all employees in this office
    - This is a causative meaning (making something equal). The sentence uses "equals" as a stative verb describing a state of being, not an action of making something equal. Also, the example uses "equalize" which is different from "equals" in the sentence.

 So sense 1 is the correct answer.

 The sentence is saying that the percentage is routinely equivalent to a third (33.33%), similar to how the example says one dollar is equivalent to 1,000 rubles.

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

 Sentence: "As we <t>know</t>, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - "As we know" is an introductory phrase meaning "as we are aware" or "as is generally understood/recognized"
 - It refers to general knowledge or awareness of a fact (that voters tend to favor Republicans more in presidential races than congressional races)

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about" | examples=I know that the President lied to the people
    - This seems to fit. The sentence is stating a fact that "we" (the speaker and audience) are aware of.

 2. "know how to do or perform something" | examples=She knows how to knit
    - This is about skills/procedural knowledge. Doesn't fit.

 3. "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt" | examples=I know that I left the key on the table
    - This is close to sense 1, but emphasizes certainty/belief. The example suggests personal certainty about a specific event.
    - Sense 1 is more about possessing information/being aware of facts.
    - The sentence is about general awareness of a political tendency, not necessarily personal certainty about a specific event.

 4. "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object" | examples=She doesn't know this composer
    - This is about familiarity with people/things. Doesn't fit.

 5. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" | examples=I know the feeling!"
    - This is about experiencing something personally. Doesn't fit.

 6. "accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority" | examples=The Crown Prince was acknowledged as the true heir to the throne
    - This is about acknowledgment/recognition of status. Doesn't fit.

 7. "have fixed in the mind" | examples=I know Latin
    - This is about having learned/memorized something. Doesn't fit.

 8. "have sexual intercourse with" | examples=This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm
    - Biblical/archaic usage. Doesn't fit.

 9. "know the nature or character of" | examples=we all knew her as a big show-off
    - This is about understanding someone's character. Doesn't fit.

 10. "be able to distinguish, recognize as being different" | examples=The child knows right from wrong
    - This is about discrimination/differentiation. Doesn't fit.

 11. "perceive as familiar" | examples=I know this voice!"
    - This is about recognition. Doesn't fit.

 Between 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" is an idiomatic expression indicating shared knowledge or awareness of a fact. It aligns best with sense 1, which is about being aware of facts or possessing information.

 Sense 3 seems to emphasize the epistemic certainty - "regard as true beyond any doubt" - which is slightly different from general awareness of information.

 The example for sense 1: "I know that the President lied to the people" - this is similar to knowing that voters tend to favor Republicans...

 The example for sense 3: "I know that I left the key on the table" - this emphasizes certainty about a specific personal memory.

 Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

 Wait, let me reconsider. "As we know" could also be interpreted as "as is commonly known/understood" - which is about possessing information.

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on), sense 1 is typically the most general sense of knowing a fact.

 The sentence is using "know" to mean "are aware of the fact that" - which matches sense 1.

 So the answer should be 1.

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

2. definition=have care of or look after | examples=She tends to the children
3. definition=manage or run | examples=tend a store

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

"Sentence: As we know, voters <t>tend</t> to favor Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."

The word "tend" here is followed by "to favor", indicating a tendency or inclination. The voters have a tendency or disposition to favor Republicans more in presidential races than in congressional races.

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=have a tendency or disposition to do or be something; be inclined | examples=She tends to be nervous before her lectures
   - This matches the usage in the sentence. "tend to favor" means "have a tendency to favor" or "are inclined to favor".

2. definition=have care of or look after | examples=She tends to the children
   - This would be used as "tend to [someone/something]" meaning to take care of. The sentence doesn't say voters take care of or look after favoring Republicans. This doesn't fit.

3. definition=manage or run | examples=tend a store
   - This is transitive, like "tend a bar" or "tend a store". The sentence uses "tend to favor", so this doesn't fit.

The correct sense is clearly sense 1, which is about having a tendency or disposition to do something.

The answer should be just the number: 1

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

Sentence: As we know, voters tend to <t>favor</t> Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=promote over another | examples=he favors his second daughter
2. definition=consider as the favorite | examples=The local team was favored
3. definition=treat gently or carefully
4. definition=bestow a privilege upon

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

Sentence: "As we know, voters tend to <t>favor</t> Republicans more in races for president than in those for Congress."

Let's analyze the sentence:
- Voters tend to favor Republicans...
- This means voters prefer Republicans or support Republicans over others (likely Democrats)
- It's about preferring one group over another in voting

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=promote over another | examples=he favors his second daughter
   - This suggests showing preference for one over another
   - "he favors his second daughter" = he prefers/shows preference for the second daughter over others

2. definition=consider as the favorite | examples=The local team was favored
   - This is passive voice usage, meaning regarded as likely to win
   - In the sentence, "voters tend to favor Republicans" is active - voters are doing the favoring, not considering Republicans as favorites in a predictive sense

3. definition=treat gently or carefully
   - This doesn't fit the context of voting/political preference

4. definition=bestow a privilege upon
   - This doesn't fit either - voters aren't granting privileges to Republicans in this context

Looking at sense 1: "promote over another" - in the voting context, favoring Republicans means preferring them over Democrats, supporting them over the alternative.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 2. "Consider as the favorite" - if voters favor Republicans, does it mean they consider them the favorite (i.e., preferred choice)? Or does it mean they support them?

In the context of voting: "voters tend to favor Republicans" means voters prefer/support Republicans over Democrats. This aligns with sense 1 "promote over another" or show preference for one over another.

Sense 2 "consider as the favorite" typically refers to being the likely winner, e.g., "the team was favored to win." But here, the subject is "voters" who are actively doing the favoring.

Sense 1 example: "he favors his second daughter" - he prefers/shows preference for his second daughter over the others.
Sentence: "voters tend to favor Republicans" - voters prefer/show preference for Republicans over Democrats (implied).

This matches sense 1.

Wait, let me double-check if sense 2 could apply. Sense 2 examples: "The local team was favored" - this is clearly about being the favorite to win. But in the sentence, voters are the subject doing the action of favoring. So sense 2 (consider as the favorite) would require a different structure, like "Republicans are favored by voters" perhaps? But even then, sense 2 seems to be about being regarded as likely to succeed, not about receiving support.

Actually, sense 2 might mean "regard as favorite" in the sense of preference too, but the example "The local team was favored" suggests the sports betting/gambling context of being the favorite to win.

Sense 1 "promote over another" captures the comparative aspect - voters favor Republicans MORE than... implying a comparison and preference for one over the other.

So the answer should be 1.

But let me make sure I'm interpreting the senses correctly based on typical dictionary definitions.

Sense 1: To prefer or support one over another
Sense 2: To resemble or look like (wait, that's a different sense sometimes), or to be considered the likely winner
Sense 3: To treat gently
Sense 4: To oblige/grant a favor

Actually, looking at standard dictionary entries for "favor":
- To look with favor on; approve; like
- To treat with partiality; show favoritism toward
- To support; advocate
- To be particularly fond of; prefer

Sense 1 "promote over another" aligns with showing partiality or preference for one over another.

Sense 2 "consider as the favorite" - this might mean "to prefer" but the example suggests a specific usage (sports favorite).

Given the sentence structure "voters tend to favor Republicans", this is clearly sense 1 - showing preference for one group over another.

The number is 1.

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

 Sentence: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in <t>races</t> for president than in those for Congress."

 The word "races" here refers to elections or competitions for political office. Let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=any competition | examples=the race for the presidency
 2. definition=a contest of speed | examples=the race is to the swift
 3. 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
 4. definition=(biology) a taxonomic group that is a division of a species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species
 5. definition=the flow of air that is driven backwards by an aircraft propeller
 6. definition=a canal for a current of water

 In the sentence, "races for president" clearly refers to the competition or contest for the presidency (electoral competition). This matches sense 1: "any competition" with the example "the race for the presidency".

 Sense 2 is about speed contests (like running races), which doesn't fit here.
 Sense 3 is about human races/ethnic groups, which doesn't fit.
 Sense 4 is biological taxonomy, which doesn't fit.
 Sense 5 is about aircraft, which doesn't fit.
 Sense 6 is about water canals, which doesn't fit.

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

Sentence: As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for <t>president</t> than in those for Congress.

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

 Sentence: "As we know, voters tend to favor Republicans more in races for <t>president</t> than in those for Congress."

 The word "president" here is referring to the office/position of the head of state of the United States, specifically in the context of elections ("races for president").

 Let's look at the senses:
 1. an executive officer of a firm or corporation - This is about a business context, not government elections.
 2. the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government - This refers to the person holding the office.
 3. the chief executive of a republic - This is general, could be any republic.
 4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization - This is about meetings/organizations.
 5. the head administrative officer of a college or university - Academic context.
 6. the office of the United States head of state - This refers to the office itself, not the person.

 In the sentence, "races for president" refers to races for the office/position of president. The phrase "races for president" is parallel to "those for Congress" (races for Congress).

 Congress is a legislative body/institution, and the parallel structure suggests "president" here refers to the office/institution rather than the specific person.

 However, looking at sense 2 vs sense 6:
 - Sense 2: "the person who holds the office..."
 - Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

 The sentence says "races for president" - this is referring to the office being contested, not the specific person currently holding it. When we say "race for president," we mean running for the office of president.

 But let's check the examples:
 - Sense 2 example: "the President likes to jog every morning" - refers to the person.
 - Sense 6 example: "a President is elected every four years" - this could be ambiguous, but "a President" usually refers to the person.

 Actually, looking carefully at sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state" - this is the office itself.

 In the sentence "races for president", we're talking about electoral races for the position/office. This aligns with sense 6.

 However, in common usage, "race for president" can be interpreted as running to become the person described in sense 2. But the question asks for the specific numbered sense.

 Let me reconsider. The sentence compares "races for president" with "those for Congress". Congress is a legislative body. President in this context is the executive office.

 Sense 6 specifically mentions "the office of the United States head of state" and gives the example "a President is elected every four years."

 Sense 2 is "the person who holds the office..."

 In "races for president", candidates are running for the office, so they are running to become the person in sense 2, but the race is for the office (sense 6).

 However, looking at the example for sense 6: "a President is elected every four years" - this treats "President" as the office (or possibly the person filling the office).

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions (like WordNet which this seems to be based on):
 - Sense 2: President of the United States, President, Chief Executive - the person
 - Sense 6: presidency, presidentship - the office

 Wait, looking at the definitions again:
 6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

 The example "a President is elected every four years" is slightly ambiguous - it could mean the office is filled every four years, or a person is elected every four years. But the definition clearly says "the office".

 In the sentence, "races for president" means races for the office of president. So sense 6 seems correct.

 But let me double-check if it could be sense 2. If it were sense 2, it would mean races for the person who currently holds the office, which doesn't make sense. You don't run for a person, you run for an office.

 Therefore, it must be sense 6.

 Wait, but in the sentence, is "president" capitalized? No, it's lowercase: "president". Sense 2's example has "President" capitalized: "the President likes to jog". Sense 6's example has "President" capitalized in "a President is elected", but that's because it refers to the title.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "races for president". In this context, it's referring to the US presidency (since it mentions Republicans and Congress, which are US-specific).

 Sense 3: "the chief executive of a republic" - this is too general. The context specifies US (Republicans, Congress).

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

 In political science and common parlance, when we say "race for president", we mean running for the office. For example, "He announced his candidacy for president" means he's running for the office.

 Therefore, sense 6 is the best fit.

 But I should verify if there's any ambiguity. Could it be sense 2 interpreted as "races for [the position of] president"? In many dictionaries, "president" as a position can be listed under the person definition or separately.

 Looking at the specific wording:
 Sense 2: "the person who holds the office..."
 Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

 The sentence is definitely referring to the office, not the specific person holding it at any given time.

 Therefore, the answer is 6.

 Wait, I need to be careful. Sometimes these questions come from specific datasets like WordNet or similar. Let me think about how WordNet defines these.

 In WordNet:
 - president#1: an executive officer of a firm or corporation
 - president#2: the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government (example: "the President likes to jog every morning")
 - president#3: the chief executive of a republic
 - president#4: the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization
 - president#5: the head administrative officer of a college or university
 - presidency#1, presidentship#1: the office of the United States head of state (example: "a President is elected every four years")

 Wait, in WordNet, "president" and "presidency" are different lemmas. But here, sense 6 is listed as a sense of "president": "the office of the United States head of state".

 So yes, sense 6 is the office.

 The sentence: "races for president" - this is clearly referring to the office.

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

Sentence: 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.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to a president or presidency | examples=presidential aides
2. definition=befitting a president | examples=criticized the candidate for not looking presidential

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to identify which sense of "presidential" is used in the given sentence. 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 two senses are:
1. relating to a president or presidency (example: presidential aides)
2. befitting a president (example: criticized the candidate for not looking presidential)

In the sentence, "presidential election" refers to an election for president - it's relating to the presidency or president. It's not about whether something is befitting or appropriate for a president (like looking or acting presidential).

So "presidential election" means an election relating to the president/presidency. This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 would be used in contexts like "he looks very presidential" or "she conducted herself in a presidential manner" - meaning dignified, statesmanlike, appropriate for a president.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: In every presidential <t>election</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=a vote to select the winner of a position or political office | examples=the results of the election will be announced tonight
2. definition=the act of selecting someone or something; the exercise of deliberate choice | examples=her election of medicine as a profession
3. definition=the status or fact of being elected | examples=they celebrated his election
4. definition=the predestination of some individuals as objects of divine mercy (especially as conceived by Calvinists)

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

Sentence: "In every presidential <t>election</t> 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."

Key context clues:
- "presidential election"
- "past half century"
- "Goldwater presidential candidacy"
- "popular vote for president"
- comparing percentages of votes

Now let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a vote to select the winner of a position or political office | examples=the results of the election will be announced tonight
   - This refers to the actual voting process/event to choose someone for a political office.
   - "Presidential election" typically means the event where people vote to select the president.

2. 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, like choosing a career or option.
   - Doesn't fit the political context here.

3. definition=the status or fact of being elected | examples=they celebrated his election
   - This refers to the state of having been chosen, not the event itself.
   - Example suggests celebrating the fact that someone got elected.
   - The sentence is talking about events over time (every presidential election), not the status of being elected.

4. definition=the predestination of some individuals as objects of divine mercy (especially as conceived by Calvinists)
   - This is a theological concept.
   - Clearly not relevant to the political context.

The sentence is discussing presidential elections as events that occur, where voting takes place. It's comparing voting patterns across different "presidential elections" over the past 50 years. This matches sense 1: "a vote to select the winner of a position or political office."

The phrase "presidential election" is a standard collocation referring to the electoral process/event for selecting a president.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: "In every presidential election over the <t>past</t> 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."

Senses:
1. definition=earlier than the present time; no longer current | examples=time past
2. definition=of a person who has held and relinquished a position or office | examples=a retiring member of the board

In the sentence, "past" is used in the phrase "over the past half century". This refers to a period of time earlier than the present time. It is not referring to a person who has held and relinquished a position.

So the correct sense is 1.

I need to return only the number.

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

Sentence: In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater <t>presidential</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to a president or presidency | examples=presidential aides

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"In every presidential election over the past half century, except for the Goldwater <t>presidential</t> 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 phrase is "Goldwater presidential candidacy". This refers to Barry Goldwater's candidacy for the office of president.

Now let's look at the two senses:
1. "relating to a president or presidency" - examples: "presidential aides"
2. "befitting a president" - examples: "criticized the candidate for not looking presidential"

In "Goldwater presidential candidacy", the word "presidential" is modifying "candidacy" to indicate that it is a candidacy for the presidency. This is about the office of president, relating to the presidency.

Sense 1: "relating to a president or presidency" - This fits because a "presidential candidacy" is a candidacy relating to the presidency (the office of president).

Sense 2: "befitting a president" - This would be about demeanor, appearance, or behavior suitable for a president. For example, "looking presidential" or "acting presidential". This doesn't fit because "presidential candidacy" isn't about whether the candidacy befits a president in terms of dignity or appearance; it's simply about the candidacy being for the office of president.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Wait, let me double-check. "Presidential election" at the beginning of the sentence also uses "presidential" in sense 1 - an election relating to the presidency. The marked instance is specifically "Goldwater presidential candidacy".

"Goldwater presidential candidacy" = Goldwater's candidacy for president.

Yes, this is clearly sense 1: relating to a president or presidency.

The answer should be: 1

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

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

The two senses provided are:
1. definition=a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)
2. definition=assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group | examples=he wanted his share in cash

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "percentage" here refers to the proportion of votes that the GOP captured. It's talking about what portion of the total votes they received - specifically comparing the percentage of popular vote for president versus percentage of congressional seats or popular vote for Congress.

This clearly matches sense 1: "a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)".

Sense 2 refers to assets or shares belonging to someone (like "his share of the profits"), which doesn't fit the context of vote proportions.

So the answer should be 1.

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

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

The phrase is "major-party popular vote" or "major-party" (with a hyphen). This refers to the two main political parties in the US (Democratic and Republican), as opposed to minor/third parties.

Looking at the definitions:
1. "of greater importance or stature or rank" - This could potentially fit, but let's check others.
2. "greater in scope or effect" - Doesn't seem to fit.
3. "greater in number or size or amount" - This could work if referring to the fact that these are the two largest parties.
4. "of the field of academic study" - Not relevant here.
5. "of a scale or mode" - Musical term, not relevant.
6. "of greater seriousness or danger" - Not relevant.
7. "of full legal age" - Not relevant.
8. "of the elder of two boys" - Not relevant.

Now, looking closely at the phrase "major-party" - this is referring to the principal or main political parties. In the context of US politics, "major party" refers to the Democratic and Republican parties as distinguished from minor or third parties.

Sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank" - This seems closest. A major party is one of greater importance/stature compared to minor parties.

Sense 3: "greater in number or size or amount" - This could also work because major parties have more members/voters than minor parties.

But looking at the specific wording in the sentence: "major-party popular vote" - this refers to the popular vote cast for the major parties (as opposed to third parties).

Actually, looking at the definitions again:
Sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank" - examples: "a major artist"
Sense 3: "greater in number or size or amount" - examples: "a major portion (a majority) of the population"

In political science contexts, "major party" typically refers to parties of greater importance/stature/rank (sense 1), or potentially sense 3 (greater in number).

But wait, looking at the example for sense 3: "a major portion (a majority) of the population" - this suggests sense 3 is about quantity/size.

In the sentence, "major-party" refers to the two main parties (Democratic and Republican). These are considered "major" because they are the dominant, most important parties (sense 1), not necessarily because of a specific numerical threshold in this context, though they do get the majority of votes.

However, looking at the specific phrase "major-party popular vote" - this is contrasting with votes for minor parties or independent candidates. The "major parties" are the principal ones.

Let me reconsider. In WordNet or similar lexical databases, "major" when referring to "major party" is typically sense 1 (important) or sense 3 (large in number).

But looking at the exact sentence structure: "the major-party popular vote" - this means the popular vote for the major parties.

Actually, I should look at how "major" is being used here. It's modifying "party" (in the compound "major-party").

Sense 1: "of greater importance or stature or rank" - a major party is one with greater importance/stature than minor parties.
Sense 3: "greater in number or size or amount" - a major party could be one with greater numbers.

In political science terminology, "major party" is usually defined by electoral success and importance, which aligns with sense 1.

But let me look at the example for sense 3 again: "a major portion (a majority) of the population". This suggests sense 3 is about being the larger part of something.

Actually, looking at the sentence more carefully: "the GOP has captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote..."

This is comparing the GOP's share of the vote among major parties to their share of congressional seats.

"Major-party" here distinguishes between votes for major parties vs. minor parties/third parties.

Given the options, sense 1 ("of greater importance or stature or rank") seems most appropriate because major parties are those of greater political importance and stature compared to minor parties.

However, sense 3 could also apply because major parties receive the majority/greater number of votes.

But looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Major party: one of the two main parties in a political system (e.g., Democrats and Republicans in the US), distinguished by having greater importance, resources, and electoral success.

Sense 1 fits best: "of greater importance or stature or rank"

Wait, I should check if there's a specific sense for "major" meaning "principal" or "main". Sense 1 covers "importance or stature or rank".

Let me double-check by looking at what "major party" means. It refers to a political party that has substantial influence and/or electoral success, as opposed to a minor party.

So between sense 1 (importance/stature) and sense 3 (number/size), sense 1 is more about the qualitative status/importance, while sense 3 is quantitative.

"Major party" is primarily about political importance and status, though it correlates with having more votes.

Therefore, I believe the answer is 1.

But let me reconsider the sentence one more time to make sure I'm not missing something. The phrase is "major-party popular vote" which could be interpreted as "the popular vote of the major parties."

Actually, looking at the hyphenation "major-party", this is clearly the adjective "major" modifying "party".

In many lexical databases (like WordNet), sense 1 of "major" is indeed "of greater importance or stature or rank".

Sense 3 is specifically about quantity: "greater in number or size or amount".

While major parties do get more votes, the term "major party" itself refers to their status/importance in the political system.

Therefore, I will go with 1.

"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 - <t>party</t> popular vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The word "party" appears in the phrase "major-party popular vote".

Let me look at the senses:

4. definition=an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment | examples=he planned a party to celebrate Bastille Day
5. definition=a person involved in legal proceedings | examples=the party of the first part

In the sentence, "major-party" refers to political parties (like the Republican Party and Democratic Party). The context is about presidential elections, the GOP (Republican Party), and voting.

"Major-party popular vote" refers to the popular vote for the major political parties (as opposed to third parties or independent candidates).

Sense 1 is "an organization to gain political power" with an example about organizing a third party at the national level. This clearly refers to political parties.

Sense 2 is about a social gathering.
Sense 3 is about a group temporarily associated for an activity.
Sense 4 is about a social occasion/event.
Sense 5 is about legal proceedings.

The context is clearly political - talking about presidential elections, GOP (Grand Old Party = Republican Party), and voting. So "major-party" refers to major political parties.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Wait, let me double-check the exact phrase: "major - <t>party</t> popular vote". There's a hyphen or dash there. It says "major - party popular vote". This might be "major-party" as a compound adjective modifying "popular vote".

Yes, "major-party popular vote" means the popular vote for the major parties (as opposed to minor parties or independents).

So sense 1 is definitely the correct answer.

 Sentence: "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 <t>popular</t> vote for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

 The word "popular" appears in the phrase "popular vote".

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. "regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public" - This is about being well-liked or favored.

 2. "carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large" - The example given is "the popular vote". This matches exactly with the usage in the sentence.

 3. "representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large" - This is about being for the benefit of people, like "democratic art forms".

 4. "(of music or art) new and of general appeal (especially among young people)" - This is about pop culture/music.

 In the sentence, "popular vote" refers to the vote of the people at large, as opposed to electoral college votes or other methods. This matches sense 2: "carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large".

 The example provided for sense 2 is literally "the popular vote", which is exactly the phrase used in the sentence.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"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 <t>vote</t> for president than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

The key phrase here is "popular vote". This refers to the total number of votes cast by voters, or the choice made by counting votes.

Let me look at the definitions:

1. "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" - This seems to refer to the act of voting or the result of counting votes for a specific alternative. Example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion"

2. "the opinion of a group as determined by voting" - This seems to be about the collective decision or opinion. Example: "they put the question to a vote"

3. "a legal right guaranteed by the 15th amendment..." - This is about the right to vote (suffrage). Example: "American women got the vote in 1920"

4. "a body of voters who have the same interests" - This is about a voting bloc or demographic. Example: "he failed to get the Black vote"

5. "the total number of voters who participated" - This refers to turnout or the aggregate number. Example: "they are expecting a large vote"

Now, in the sentence, "popular vote" refers to the total number of votes cast for candidates (as opposed to electoral votes or seats). It's referring to the aggregate of individual choices/votes cast.

Looking at definition 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" - this could fit, as the popular vote is the count of people voting for each candidate.

Looking at definition 5: "the total number of voters who participated" - this is about turnout/participation numbers, not specifically about the count for a particular candidate or party.

In the context of the sentence: "captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote" - this means they got a higher percentage of the total votes cast (the count of ballots).

Actually, looking more carefully:
- "popular vote" in US elections refers to the aggregate of all votes cast by voters (as opposed to electoral votes)
- The sentence compares the percentage of the popular vote the GOP captured for president vs. the percentage of congressional seats or popular vote for Congress

Definition 1 says "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" - this seems to refer to the result of the counting process, or the collective choice.

Definition 5 says "the total number of voters who participated" - this is about turnout.

But "popular vote" specifically refers to the actual votes cast and counted, not just the number of participants. However, in the context of "percentage of the popular vote", it's referring to the share of the total votes cast.

Wait, let me reconsider the definitions more carefully.

Definition 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative" - This could mean the tally itself, or the act of choosing. The example "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" suggests it's counting individual votes/ballots.

Definition 5: "the total number of voters who participated" - This is clearly about the size of the electorate that voted (turnout).

In "popular vote", we're talking about the sum of all ballots cast. When we say "percentage of the popular vote", we mean the percentage of total ballots that were cast for a particular candidate.

But looking at the definitions again, definition 1 seems closest to the actual votes counted, while definition 5 is about the number of voters (which would be the same as the number of votes in a simple system, but "popular vote" emphasizes the count of ballots).

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1 usually refers to an individual ballot or the collective ballots cast for something
- Sense 5 refers to the total number of votes cast (the turnout)

But in the phrase "popular vote", especially when talking about "percentage of the popular vote", it's referring to the total pool of votes cast (the denominator), and the specific votes for the candidate (the numerator).

However, looking at the example for sense 1: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" - this treats "votes" as countable items (ballots).

The example for sense 5: "they are expecting a large vote" - this treats "vote" as an aggregate noun meaning the total participation.

In the sentence: "percentage of the major-party popular vote" - this is referring to the total votes cast for major party candidates (the denominator), or possibly the specific votes captured (the numerator). But "popular vote" as a phrase usually refers to the system of counting individual ballots as opposed to electoral votes.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote" - this means they got a higher share of the total votes cast.

I think definition 1 is the best fit because:
1. It refers to the choice made by counting (the result of the election)
2. The "popular vote" is the sum of individual votes (choices)
3. Definition 5 is specifically about the number of participants (turnout), not about the distribution of votes among candidates

But wait, let me look at definition 1 again: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative"

This could mean:
- The act of choosing by counting
- The result (the choice itself)

But the example "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" suggests individual votes being counted.

Definition 5: "the total number of voters who participated" - example: "they are expecting a large vote"

In "popular vote", if we mean the total number of ballots cast, that could be sense 5. But "popular vote" usually contrasts with "electoral vote" and refers to the actual ballots cast by citizens.

However, in the context of "captured a greater percentage of...", we're talking about the share of the total votes. The "popular vote" here is the aggregate of all votes cast.

Let me check if there's a standard WordNet or similar classification here. These look like WordNet definitions.

WordNet senses for "vote":
1. a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative - this is the act or result of voting
2. the opinion of a group as determined by voting - this is the collective decision
3. the right to vote - suffrage
4. a body of voters - the electorate/demographic
5. the total number of voters who participated - the turnout

In the sentence, "popular vote" refers to the total number of votes cast (the aggregate), not just the number of voters (though they are the same number). But when we say "percentage of the popular vote", we mean percentage of the total ballots.

Actually, looking carefully at the sentence: "captured a greater percentage of the major-party popular vote for president"

This is comparing the percentage of votes the GOP got in presidential elections vs. the percentage of seats in Congress or votes in congressional elections.

The "popular vote" here is the sum of all votes cast in the presidential election.

Between sense 1 and sense 5:
- Sense 1 focuses on the choice/alternative aspect
- Sense 5 focuses on the total number/participation

"Popular vote" in political science refers to the aggregate of individual votes cast, as opposed to electoral votes. It is the sum of all ballots.

Sense 1 example: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" - this is counting specific votes for an alternative.
Sense 5 example: "they are expecting a large vote" - this is about turnout size.

When we say "the popular vote", we usually mean the total number of votes cast (sense 5), or the specific result of the counting (sense 1).

But "percentage of the popular vote" clearly refers to the proportion of the total votes cast. So the "popular vote" is the total pool.

However, looking at the exact wording of sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated". This is strictly about turnout/participation, not about the distribution.

But in common usage, "winning the popular vote" means getting the most votes (count of ballots), and "percentage of the popular vote" means the share of total ballots.

I think sense 1 is actually the intended answer because:
- It refers to the votes as individual choices being counted
- The example shows votes being "in favor of" something, which aligns with votes for a candidate
- Sense 5 is specifically about the size of the turnout, not about the distribution among candidates

Wait, but "popular vote" as a mass noun referring to the total votes cast... let me think.

Actually, looking at the sentence again, "popular vote" appears twice:
1. "popular vote for president"
2. "popular vote for Congress"

This is referring to the vote totals in these elections.

If I look at definition 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative"
- This could mean the act of voting, or the result.

If I look at definition 5: "the total number of voters who participated"
- This is clearly about the quantity of participants.

In "captured... the popular vote", if it meant sense 5, it would mean they captured the total number of voters, which doesn't make sense. You can't capture a percentage of the total number of voters in the sense of "taking them". You capture a percentage of the votes (the choices).

Actually, you can capture a percentage of the vote (meaning the share of the total).

Let me reconsider. In "captured 55% of the popular vote", the "popular vote" refers to the total number of ballots cast. So "vote" here is the aggregate of ballots.

But definition 5 says "the total number of voters who participated", not "the total number of votes cast". While these numbers are usually the same, definition 5 is specifically about the participants (turnout).

Definition 1 with its example "17 votes in favor" treats votes as countable items that express a preference.

I think the answer is 1.

But let me double-check by looking at how "popular vote" is typically defined. In dictionaries, "popular vote" is defined as "the vote of the people as opposed to the electoral vote" or "the vote of the people as expressed by a majority".

Actually, looking at WordNet specifically (since these look like WordNet definitions):

WordNet 3.1 for "vote":
S: (n) vote (a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative) "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion"
S: (n) vote, ballot, voting, balloting (a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative) "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" - wait, that's the same.

Actually, looking up WordNet:
1. vote, ballot, voting, balloting, vote -- (a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative; "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion"; "they allowed just one vote per person")
2. vote -- (the opinion of a group as determined by voting; "they put the question to a vote")
3. right to vote, suffrage, vote -- (a legal right guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the US Constitution; guaranteed to women by the 19th amendment; "American women got the vote in 1920")
4. vote -- (a body of voters who have the same interests; "he failed to get the Black vote")
5. vote, voter turnout -- (the total number of voters who participated; "they are expecting a large vote")

So yes, these are WordNet definitions.

Now, "popular vote" in the sentence is referring to the aggregate votes cast by the people.

Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting..." - this is the general act of voting or the result.
Sense 5: "the total number of voters who participated" - this is specifically turnout.

When we say "won the popular vote", we mean received the most votes (count of ballots). This is sense 1 (the choice determined by counting).

When we say "a large vote" meaning high turnout, that's sense 5.

In "percentage of the popular vote", we are talking about the share of the total votes cast. The "popular vote" is the total of all votes (sense 1, plural), or the collective choice.

But sense 5 is specifically about the number of participants, not the distribution.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

Wait, I should verify. Is there any chance it's sense 5?

"Captured a greater percentage of the... vote"

If "vote" means "total number of voters" (sense 5), then "percentage of the vote" would mean percentage of the total voters. But that's exactly what it means - the percentage of people who voted that voted for them.

But sense 5 is defined as "the total number of voters who participated", which is a singular noun phrase referring to the aggregate number.

Sense 1 is "a choice that is made by counting..." which can refer to the individual votes or the result.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 1 again: "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion" - here "votes" is plural and refers to individual ballots.

In the sentence, "vote" is singular in "popular vote", but used as a mass noun or collective noun referring to the total.

But in sense 5, it's also singular: "a large vote".

Hmm.

Let me think about "popular vote" specifically. In US elections, the "popular vote" is the sum of all votes cast by voters. It is contrasted with the "electoral vote".

If the question is asking which sense of "vote" is used, and "popular vote" is a compound term, I need to see which underlying sense of "vote" is being used.

"Popular vote" = the vote of the people = the choice made by the people (sense 1) or the total number of votes cast (sense 5).

But given that the sentence compares percentages (which implies shares of a total), and the total is the sum of all individual votes, and sense 1 is about the choice made by counting individual votes, while sense 5 is about the number of participants...

I think the answer is 1.

But I want to be careful. Let me see if there's any other clue.

The sentence mentions "percentage of the major-party popular vote". This implies that the vote is divisible into portions (percentages).

Sense 1: votes are countable items that can be allocated to alternatives.
Sense 5: vote is the total number, which can be divided into percentages (e.g., 60% turnout), but here it's "percentage of the vote" captured by a party, meaning the share of the total ballots that went to them.

Actually, both could work, but sense 1 is more about the electoral choice itself, while sense 5 is about participation.

In political contexts, "the popular vote" is sense 1 - it's the result of the election by ballot counting.

Also, looking at the other senses to eliminate them:
- Sense 2: "the opinion of a group as determined by voting" - this would be like "the vote was unanimous". But here we're talking about a percentage of the vote, not the vote as a single opinion.
- Sense 3: Right to vote - clearly not.
- Sense 4: A body of voters - "the Black vote" means Black voters. But "popular vote" doesn't mean popular voters.

So it's between 1 and 5.

Given that "popular vote" is a standard term for the aggregate of ballots cast in an election (as opposed to electoral votes), and this aligns with sense 1 (the choice made by counting ballots), and sense 5 is specifically about turnout/participation numbers, I conclude the answer is 1.

Final check: If the sentence said "they are expecting a large popular vote", that might be sense 5. But here it's "captured... the popular vote", meaning they received that many votes, which is sense 1.

Yes, 1.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>president</t> than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation
2. definition=the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | examples=the President likes to jog every morning
3. definition=the chief executive of a republic
4. definition=the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson
5. definition=the head administrative officer of a college or university
6. definition=the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years

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

Sentence: "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 <t>president</t> than it has of congressional seats or the popular vote for Congress."

Key context clues:
- "presidential election"
- "popular vote for president"
- "Goldwater presidential candidacy"
- "GOP" (Republican Party)
- "United States" context (implied by GOP, Goldwater, presidential election)

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "an executive officer of a firm or corporation" - This is about a business context, not a political election context.

2. "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government | examples=the President likes to jog every morning" - This refers to the specific person who is the US President.

3. "the chief executive of a republic" - This is a general definition for any republic.

4. "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization | examples=address your remarks to the chairperson" - This is about meeting leadership, like a chairperson.

5. "the head administrative officer of a college or university" - Academic context.

6. "the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years" - This refers to the office/position itself, not the person.

Now, looking at the sentence: "popular vote for <t>president</t>"

The phrase is "vote for president". When we say "vote for president", we are referring to the office/position of the head of state. The sentence is talking about voting for the office of President of the United States.

Let me check the distinction between sense 2 and sense 6:
- Sense 2: "the person who holds the office" - the individual
- Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state" - the position/office itself

In the phrase "vote for president", we are voting for someone to fill the office. But grammatically, "president" here refers to the position. However, looking at the example for sense 6: "a President is elected every four years" - this uses "President" to mean the office.

Wait, let me look more carefully. The sentence says "popular vote for president".

In US elections, we say "vote for President" meaning vote for the person who will become President. But is this referring to the person (sense 2) or the office (sense 6)?

Actually, looking at sense 6 again: "the office of the United States head of state | examples=a President is elected every four years"

And sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"

The phrase "vote for president" - you vote for a person to become president. But "president" here is the title of the position.

However, looking at the context: "popular vote for president" is contrasted with "popular vote for Congress".

"Congress" refers to the legislative body (or its members). "President" refers to the executive office.

But let's look at the exact wording of sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

And sense 2: "the person who holds the office"

In the sentence, "vote for president" - this is similar to "run for president". When someone runs for president, they are running for the office.

But actually, looking at standard dictionary distinctions:
- Sense 2 seems to be the person currently holding the office (the incumbent)
- Sense 6 seems to be the office itself

Wait, the example for sense 2 is "the President likes to jog every morning" - this refers to the specific person who is currently President.

The example for sense 6 is "a President is elected every four years" - this refers to the position/office.

In the sentence: "popular vote for president" - this is about electing someone to the office. So it's referring to the office/position (sense 6), not the specific person who currently holds it (sense 2).

But wait, "vote for president" could mean voting for the person who will be president. But the question is asking which sense is marked by <t></t>.

Let me reconsider. The word is "president" in "vote for president".

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this format resembles), sense 2 is usually the person, and sense 6 is the office.

But in the phrase "run for president" or "vote for president", "president" refers to the office.

However, let me look at sense 3: "the chief executive of a republic" - this is general.

Sense 2 is specific to the US: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"

Sense 6 is also specific to the US: "the office of the United States head of state"

The sentence mentions "GOP", "Goldwater", "presidential election", "United States" context is clear.

Now, "popular vote for president" - are they voting for the person or the office?

Actually, in election contexts, when we say "vote for President", we mean voting for the candidate who will hold the office of President. But the word "president" here denotes the position.

But looking at the example for sense 6: "a President is elected every four years" - this treats "President" as the office being filled.

And sense 2 example: "the President likes to jog every morning" - this treats "President" as the person.

In our sentence: "vote for president" - this is parallel to "run for president". You run for the office. So sense 6.

But let me double-check. Could it be sense 2? "vote for [the] president" - but there's no "the" before president in the text. It's "vote for president".

Actually, looking at the text again: "popular vote for <t>president</t>"

The lack of "the" suggests it's referring to the office/position rather than a specific individual.

Also, the comparison is: "vote for president" vs "vote for Congress". "Congress" is the institution/office/branch. So "president" is likely the office/branch as well.

Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

Yes, that fits. The vote is for the office.

Sense 2 is the person. You don't vote for "the President" (the current office holder) in an election; you vote for a candidate to become the next President. But the phrase is "vote for president" (lowercase in the text, though that might not matter).

Wait, looking at the sentence again: "popular vote for <t>president</t>"

In many lexical databases, "president" in "run for president" or "election for president" is sense 6 (the office).

Let me verify by elimination:
- Not 1 (business)
- Not 2 (the person currently holding office - "the President")
- Not 3 (general republic chief executive - too vague, and the context is clearly US-specific with GOP and Goldwater)
- Not 4 (meeting chair)
- Not 5 (university)

So it's between 2 and 6.

Sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
Sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"

The phrase is "vote for president". When you cast a vote in a presidential election, you are voting for a candidate to fill the office. The word "president" here refers to the office being sought.

Moreover, the example for sense 6 is "a President is elected every four years" which matches the election context.

The example for sense 2 is "the President likes to jog every morning" which is about the activities of the current office holder.

Therefore, sense 6 is the correct answer.

Wait, I should reconsider sense 3. "the chief executive of a republic" - the US is a republic, so this could apply. But sense 2 and 6 are more specific to the US, and given the context mentions GOP (US Republican Party) and Goldwater (US politician), the US-specific senses are more appropriate.

Between sense 2 and 6, the grammatical context "vote for [office]" typically takes the office sense, not the person sense.

Actually, looking at standard word sense disambiguation datasets like SemCor or similar, "president" in election contexts referring to the position being voted for is usually sense 6.

Therefore, the answer is 6.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>seats</t> or the popular vote for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=a space reserved for sitting (as in a theater or on a train or airplane) | examples=he booked their seats in advance
2. definition=the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on | examples=he deserves a good kick in the butt
3. definition=furniture that is designed for sitting on | examples=there were not enough seats for all the guests
4. definition=any support where you can sit (especially the part of a chair or bench etc. on which you sit) | examples=he dusted off the seat before sitting down
5. definition=a center of authority (as a city from which authority is exercised)
6. definition=the location (metaphorically speaking) where something is based | examples=the brain is said to be the seat of reason
7. definition=the legal right to sit as a member in a legislative or similar body | examples=he was elected to a seat in the Senate
8. definition=a part of a machine that supports or guides another part
9. definition=the cloth covering for the buttocks | examples=the seat of his pants was worn through

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

"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 <t>seats</t> or the popular vote for Congress."

The word "seats" here is used in the context of "congressional seats" and is being compared to "popular vote for Congress."

In political contexts, especially when talking about Congress, the Senate, or legislative bodies, a "seat" refers to a position or membership in that body.

Looking at the definitions:
1. A space reserved for sitting - doesn't fit, we're talking about Congress
2. The fleshy part of the body - doesn't fit
3. Furniture for sitting - doesn't fit
4. Support where you can sit - doesn't fit
5. A center of authority - not quite right in this context
6. The location where something is based - metaphorical, but not quite right
7. The legal right to sit as a member in a legislative or similar body - examples include "he was elected to a seat in the Senate"
8. Part of a machine - doesn't fit
9. Cloth covering for buttocks - doesn't fit

The context is clearly about congressional elections and the GOP capturing "congressional seats." This refers to winning positions/memberships in Congress. Definition 7 mentions "the legal right to sit as a member in a legislative or similar body" and gives the example "he was elected to a seat in the Senate."

This matches perfectly. The sentence is talking about the percentage of congressional seats (i.e., positions in Congress) that the GOP has won compared to the popular vote.

So the answer is 7.

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

Sentence: 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 <t>popular</t> vote for Congress.

Senses:
1. definition=regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public | examples=a popular tourist attraction
2. definition=carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large | examples=the popular vote
3. definition=representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large | examples=democratic art forms
4. definition=(of music or art) new and of general appeal (especially among young people)

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

Sentence: "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 <t>popular</t> vote for Congress."

The word "popular" appears in the phrase "popular vote for Congress" and is contrasted with "congressional seats."

Let me look at the senses:

1. "regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public" - This is about being well-liked or favored. Example: "a popular tourist attraction"

2. "carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large" - This refers to something done by or for the general populace. Example: "the popular vote"

3. "representing or appealing to or adapted for the benefit of the people at large" - This is about representing or appealing to common people. Example: "democratic art forms"

4. "(of music or art) new and of general appeal (especially among young people)" - This is specifically about pop culture/music.

In the sentence, "popular vote" is a technical term in elections referring to the actual vote cast by the electorate, as opposed to electoral votes or seats won. The phrase "popular vote" means the vote of the people at large.

Looking at sense 2: "carried on by or for the people (or citizens) at large" with the example "the popular vote" - this matches exactly.

The sentence uses "popular vote" which is explicitly given as an example in sense 2.

Therefore, the answer is 2.
