Target lemma: proximity
Target surface form: proximity
Context:
The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas. It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer <t>proximity</t> of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze this carefully. The target word is "proximity" and I need to choose between three WordNet senses.

Context: "the sheer <t>proximity</t> of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest"

The sentence is talking about how close Scalia and Thomas were (in terms of their relationships/associations) to law firms and a company with financial interests in cases before them. This refers to the property or state of being close together or near - their closeness/nearness to these entities.

Let me look at the senses:

1. proximity%1:07:00:: - "the property of being close together" | synonyms=propinquity
2. proximity%1:15:00:: - "the region close around a person or thing"
3. proximity%1:09:00:: - "a Gestalt principle of organization..." | synonyms=law of proximity

Sense 1 refers to the property/state/abstract concept of being near/close. "Propinquity" is a synonym meaning nearness, closeness, kinship.

Sense 2 refers to a physical region or vicinity - the area near something.

Sense 3 is specifically about Gestalt psychology - a law of perception. This clearly doesn't fit.

In the context, "the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms" - this is about how close/near they were in terms of association with those firms. It's the abstract property of being close/near to these entities. Not a physical region around them.

"This stunning breach of ethics" suggests that their closeness/association with these firms created a conflict of interest. This is about the property/state of being close/near.

So sense 1 is the best fit: "the property of being close together" / propinquity.

The surface form is "proximity" and the part of speech would be noun. Sense 1 (1:07:00) is the abstract noun sense, which fits the usage here where proximity refers to the quality/state of being near.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze this carefully. The target word is "breach" in the context of "This stunning breach of ethics."

The phrase is "breach of ethics" - this means a violation or failure to follow ethical standards/rules.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. breach%1:04:01:: - "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation" - This relates to failing to fulfill an obligation or duty. Ethics can be seen as a code of conduct/obligation.

2. breach%1:17:00:: - "an opening (especially a gap in a dike or fortification)" - This is a physical opening/gap. Doesn't fit "breach of ethics."

3. breach%1:11:00:: - "a personal or social separation (as between opposing factions)" - synonyms: rupture, break, severance, rift, falling out. This is about a separation in relations. Doesn't fit "breach of ethics."

"Breach of ethics" clearly means a violation of ethical standards. The closest sense is sense 1: "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation." While "ethics" isn't exactly a "promised act," the sense of failing to fulfill an obligation or duty aligns best. In common usage, "breach of ethics" means a violation of ethical rules/standards.

Actually, thinking about WordNet senses for "breach":
- breach%1:04:00:: would be "an act of breaking or failing to observe a law, agreement, or code of conduct" - but that's not one of the candidates.
- breach%1:04:01:: is "a failure to perform some promised act or obligation"

Given the options, sense 1 is the best fit. The "code" mentioned in the context (Code of Conduct, Canon 4C) relates to rules/obligation. "Breach of ethics" = failure to perform/observe ethical obligations.

The answer should be sense_index 1.

We need choose best sense for "indifference" in context. Let's analyze. Target sentence: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar. The phrase "indifference to the code" means lack of concern/interest in the code, disregard. Candidate senses:
1. unbiased impartial unconcern (impartiality? not emotional). Context: not impartial unconcern; it's disregard for rules.
2. apathy demonstrated by absence of emotional reactions (emotionlessness). Not about absence of emotional reactions.
3. trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally; synonyms apathy, numbness, spiritlessness. Could fit "indifference to the code" = lack of interest/concern.
4. trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern; synonyms nonchalance, unconcern. This is more about demeanor calm/casual lack of concern. The context is not about remaining calm or casual; it's about disregard/lack of concern for the code. Sense 3 vs 4: WordNet sense 3 is "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally" (apathy, numbness, spiritlessness). Sense 4 is "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern" (nonchalance, unconcern). The phrase "indifference to the code" is a lack of concern for the code. Which sense best? Let's examine WordNet senses. Indifference noun:
- S: (n) indifference (unbiased impartial unconcern)
- S: (n) emotionlessness, impassivity, impassiveness, phlegm, stolidity, indifference, unemotionality (apathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions)
- S: (n) apathy, indifference, numbness, spiritlessness (the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally)
- S: (n) nonchalance, unconcern, indifference (the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern)
The context: "breach of ethics and indifference to the code" - they don't care about the code. This is like unconcern (sense 4) or apathy (sense 3). "Indifference to" often means lack of concern or interest. Sense 4 synonyms nonchalance, unconcern; definition includes "a casual lack of concern". But is it "remaining calm and seeming not to care"? The justices' attendance at fundraiser shows disregard, not necessarily calm demeanor. However sense 3 is "lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally" - more general apathy. The phrase "indifference to the code" could be "lack of interest in the code" (sense 3) or "lack of concern for the code" (sense 4). Which is more appropriate? Let's consider examples maybe: Sense 4 examples? WordNet: "indifference, unconcern" e.g., "an air of unconcern". Sense 3 examples? "apathy, indifference, numbness, spiritlessness" e.g., "she was indifferent to their suffering". Hmm.
The context is an activist condemning justices: "stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code". This is not about impartiality (sense 1) nor absence of emotional reactions (sense 2). It's about disregard. Both 3 and 4 plausible. Need choose single best. Let's parse subtle differences. Sense 3: "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally" - a general trait. Sense 4: "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern" - a trait of demeanor, casualness. The phrase "indifference to the code" is directed at a specific thing (the code), not a general trait. Sense 4's "lack of concern" can be directed. Sense 3's "lack of interest in things generally" is general. The context: "indifference to the code" = lack of concern about the code. That aligns with sense 4 (unconcern). But "casual lack of concern" maybe not exactly; the breach is serious, not casual. However WordNet gloss includes "a casual lack of concern" as a trait; but the word can be used for non-casual disregard. Sense 3 synonyms apathy, numbness, spiritlessness - these are more about lacking enthusiasm/interest generally. "Indifference to the code" is not about enthusiasm. "Lack of concern" is central.
Let's see if there are standard WSD annotations for "indifference to". In SemCor? "indifference" sense 4 maybe for "indifference to". Let's search memory: WordNet sense 4 nonchalance, unconcern, indifference: "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern". Example? Not sure. Sense 3 apathy, indifference, numbness, spiritlessness: "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally". Example: "she was indifferent to their suffering" maybe adjective. But noun "indifference to" often sense 4? Let's think of dictionary definitions: indifference: lack of interest, concern, or sympathy. WordNet splits into (1) unbiased impartial unconcern; (2) absence of emotional reactions; (3) apathy/lack of enthusiasm or interest generally; (4) nonchalance/casual lack of concern. In many usages, "indifference to something" = lack of concern or interest. Sense 3 covers lack of interest generally; sense 4 covers lack of concern/casual. The phrase "indifference to the code" is specifically lack of concern for the code. I'd lean sense 4. But let's not rush.
The instruction: "WordNet glosses are schematic. Use the sentence context, the examples, and the synonyms to choose the best indexed sense." We need choose single best indexed sense. Let's evaluate each candidate with context.
Sense 1: unbiased impartial unconcern. In context, not about impartiality; the justices are accused of being partial due to fundraiser. So not sense 1.
Sense 2: apathy demonstrated by absence of emotional reactions; synonyms emotionlessness, impassivity. The activists are alarmed by their behavior; not about absence of emotional reactions. No.
Sense 3: trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally; synonyms apathy, numbness, spiritlessness. Could describe their attitude toward the code: they lack interest/concern. But "generally" suggests a broad personality trait, not specific to code. However WordNet gloss "things generally" maybe because it's a trait. The context is about a specific code, but the trait can be manifested as indifference to the code. Still plausible.
Sense 4: trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern; synonyms nonchalance, unconcern. The phrase "indifference to the code" = unconcern about the code. The context: justices were wining and dining at black-tie fundraiser, showing casual disregard? "Stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code" - they seemed not to care, casual lack of concern. The event is black-tie, social, perhaps nonchalant. So sense 4 fits well: unconcern/nonchalance.
Which is more likely intended in WordNet? Let's examine the difference between sense 3 and 4. Sense 3 is "apathy, numbness, spiritlessness" - these imply a depressed or flat state, lack of enthusiasm. Sense 4 is "nonchalance, unconcern" - implies cool, calm, casual disregard. The context of attending a fancy fundraiser and ignoring ethics rules suggests nonchalance/unconcern rather than apathy/numbness. The activist says "stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code" - they are not apathetic in general; they are unconcerned about the code. So sense 4.
But wait, "indifference to the code" could be interpreted as "lack of interest in the code" which is sense 3. However synonyms for sense 3 include apathy, which is also lack of interest/concern. The line between 3 and 4 is subtle. Let's see WordNet definitions more precisely:
- sense 3: "the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally" (noun.attribute). It is a personality trait.
- sense 4: "the trait of remaining calm and seeming not to care; a casual lack of concern" (noun.attribute). Also a personality trait/demeanor.
If you say "his indifference to the suffering of others", which sense? It could be sense 3 (lack of interest) or sense 4 (unconcern). In WordNet, "indifference" in "indifference to" might be sense 4 because of "unconcern". Let's search memory of lexical usage: "She showed complete indifference to his plight." I think dictionaries define as "lack of concern, interest, or sympathy." WordNet sense 4 is "nonchalance, unconcern" = lack of concern. Sense 3 is "apathy" = lack of enthusiasm/interest. "Indifference to the code" is about concern for rules, not enthusiasm. So sense 4.
However, the phrase "indifference to the code" in the quote: "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims ... that the court abides by the same rules". It means they don't care about the code. "Unconcern" is exact. So sense 4.
Let's also consider sense 1: "unbiased impartial unconcern". Could someone argue that justices' indifference to the code means impartial unconcern? No, because "unbiased impartial unconcern" is a positive/neutral quality of being impartial, not caring about sides. Here it's negative disregard for rules. So no.
Thus best sense index = 4.

 The user is asking me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "justices" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The context is about Supreme Court justices attending Federalist Society events, ethics rules, and mentions people like Scalia and Thomas. Words used in the context:
- "two justices have been attending"
- "justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct"
- "lower federal justices" (wait, this should probably be judges, but the text says justices)
- "several <t>justices</t> that the court abides by the same rules"
- "The justices were wining and dining"

The target surface form is "justices" (plural) and it refers to people who are judges/public officials in a court of justice. The context mentions "the court" and "pending cases before the court," and names like Scalia and Thomas who were Supreme Court justices.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. justice%1:07:00:: - the quality of being just or fair (abstract concept)
2. justice%1:04:00:: - judgment involved in determination of rights and rewards/punishments (abstract activity)
3. justice%1:18:00:: - a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice (synonyms: judge, jurist)
4. justice%1:14:00:: - the United States federal department (organization)

The context is clearly about people - Supreme Court justices. They attend events, are subject to codes of conduct, sit on courts, decide cases. This matches sense 3: a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice.

The plural form "justices" and references to "Scalia and Thomas," "the court," "cases before the court," and "federal judges" all point to sense 3.

I need to return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

Let me analyze this carefully.

The target word is "rules" (plural of rule) in the context:
"the court abides by the same <rules> that apply to all other federal judges"

Context analysis:
- Earlier mentions "ethics rules"
- "Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices"
- "Canon 4C" which states rules about judges attending events
- Bob Edgar claims the court should abide by the same "rules" that apply to all other federal judges

These are clearly formal regulations/guidelines of conduct for judges. The word is being used in a legal/ethical/governance sense.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. rule%1:09:00:: - a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior; synonyms=regulation; examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation
2. rule%1:09:01:: - something regarded as a normative example; synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula
3. rule%1:10:00:: - prescribed guide for conduct or action; synonyms=prescript
4. rule%1:10:01:: - linguistics rule
5. rule%1:09:03:: - a basic generalization accepted as true; synonyms=principle
6. rule%1:28:00:: - duration of monarch's/government's power
7. rule%1:26:00:: - dominance/power through legal authority
8. rule%1:10:02:: - directions defining game/sport conduct
9. rule%1:10:03:: - religious order regulations
10. rule%1:09:02:: - rule/law concerning natural phenomenon; synonyms=principle
11. rule%1:09:04:: - math standard procedure; synonyms=formula
12. rule%1:06:00:: - measuring stick; synonyms=ruler

The reference is to "rules that apply to all other federal judges" - specifically the Code of Conduct / ethics rules. These are prescribed guides for conduct or action.

Earlier in the text: "ethics rules" - these are formal prescribed guides for how judges should behave.

Sense 1 (rule%1:09:00::) has synonym "regulation" and examples about "rule to take a walk" (customary behavior) and "short haircuts were the regulation". The definition says "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". This has a "customary" flavor, more like a social norm or convention.

Sense 3 (rule%1:10:00::) has synonym "prescript" and definition "prescribed guide for conduct or action". This seems more formal and authoritative.

Sense 8 (rule%1:10:02::) is specifically game rules.

The context here is about a formal code of conduct/ethics rules for federal judges. These are prescribed guides for conduct. So sense 3 seems best.

Wait, but earlier in the text it says "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices". Then later it says "same rules that apply to all other federal judges" referring back to these ethics rules/code.

In legal contexts, "rules" are often sense 1:09:00 (regulation/principle/condition governing behavior) or could also be sense 1:10:00 (prescribed guide for conduct/action).

The distinction: Sense 1:09:00 is "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" with synonym regulation. The example "short haircuts were the regulation" suggests this is about conventional norms. Sense 1:10:00 is "prescribed guide for conduct or action" with synonym prescript - more formal.

Given the context of the "Code of Conduct" and "ethics rules" for judges, I think sense 1:10:00:: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" is the best fit. These are explicitly prescribed rules of conduct, not merely customary.

However, let me reconsider. Sense 1:09:00 has the synonym "regulation" which is very common in legal contexts, and "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct" could be described as "principles or conditions governing behavior."

But "prescript" for sense 3 means a prescribed rule or direction. This directly references rules that are formally laid down. In the context of a "Code of Conduct" being referenced, sense 3 is likely most appropriate.

The phrase "rules that apply to all other federal judges" connects to "Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices" - a prescribed guide for conduct.

I'll go with sense 3 (rule%1:10:00::).

We need answer JSON with sense_index. Need choose best WordNet sense for target 'president' in context: Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. Common Cause is an organization, advocacy group. So president here is an executive officer of a firm/corporation? Or the officer who presides at meetings of organization? Let's examine candidates.
Sense 1: president%1:18:01:: | definition=an executive officer of a firm or corporation. Could include nonprofit organization? Common Cause is an organization.
Sense 4: president%1:18:03:: | definition=the officer who presides at meetings of an organization; synonyms chairman, chairwoman, chair, chairperson. Example chairperson.
Sense 3: chief executive of a republic, not relevant.
Sense 2: US head of state, no.
Sense 5: head administrative officer of a college/university, no.
Sense 6: the office.
Need select between 1 and 4. The phrase "president of Common Cause" means leader of nonprofit organization. WordNet sense 1 maybe "an executive officer of a firm or corporation"; firm or corporation may not cover nonprofit, but schematic. Sense 4 specifically "officer who presides at meetings of an organization" - an organization could include Common Cause. However Common Cause president likely chief executive officer, not just presiding meetings. In WordNet, president sense 1 vs 4 distinction: president of company vs president of a club/organization (presiding officer). Common Cause is a nonprofit advocacy organization, often headed by president (CEO). Bob Edgar was president of Common Cause. Is he like executive officer? Could be either.
Need think which sense most likely intended by WordNet for "president of Common Cause". Common Sense maybe 'an executive officer of a firm or corporation' includes corporations; nonprofits are corporations. But "Common Cause" is not firm/corporation? It's a nonprofit organization.
Let's analyze wordnet senses more precisely:
president.n.01 = "the chief executive of a republic" (republic president)
president.n.02 = "an executive officer of a firm or corporation"
president.n.03 = "the head administrative officer of a college or university"
president.n.04 = "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization" (chairman)
president.n.05 = "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government" (President)
president.n.06 = "the office..." office.
So target word is lowercase president, not US President. Since mention 'the president of Common Cause', likely sense 2 (n.02) "an executive officer of a firm or corporation". Is Common Cause a firm/corporation? It is a nonprofit corporation perhaps. WordNet firm/corporation gloss as schematic may cover companies and corporations. The leader of an organization like Common Cause might be classified as executive officer. Sense 4 is specifically meetings presiding officer (chairman). For many nonprofits, the title 'president' is more like executive than presiding at meetings (though board chair presides). Bob Edgar as president of Common Cause = chief executive. The phrase 'president' there is like executive officer. So sense 1.
Let's ensure not confuse with sense 4 because of organization. Examples for sense 4 synonyms chairman, chairperson. The role address remarks to chairperson. Not applicable. Bob Edgar not presiding officer. So sense 1.

 Let me analyze the target word "justices" in the given context.

The context is about Supreme Court justices attending a fundraising event, ethical rules, and mentions Scalia and Thomas (who are Supreme Court justices). The target appears in phrases like:
- "justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct"
- "several justices"
- "federal judges"
- "The <t>justices</t> were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court"

Candidate sense 1: the quality of being just or fair — doesn't fit, this is about people.
Candidate sense 2: judgment involved in determination of rights — doesn't fit, abstract concept.
Candidate sense 3: a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court of justice (synonyms: judge, jurist) — fits perfectly. Scalia and Thomas are justices/judges.
Candidate sense 4: United States federal department (Department of Justice) — doesn't fit; the context is discussing individual judges, not the department.

The sense_index should be 3.

Target lemma: fundraiser
Target surface form: fundraiser
Context:
And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie <t>fundraiser</t> with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable.

 The user wants me to choose the best WordNet sense for the lemma "fundraiser" in the given context.

 Context: "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie <t>fundraiser</t> with attorneys..."

 Candidate senses:
 1. fundraiser%1:18:00:: - someone who solicits financial contributions (person)
 2. fundraiser%1:11:00:: - a social function that is held for the purpose of raising money (event)

 "A black-tie fundraiser" clearly refers to a social event, not a person. You don't describe a person as "a black-tie fundraiser" in this context. The context also mentions "fund-raising events" earlier, which aligns with the event sense. So the answer should be sense 2.

 I need to return only a JSON object: {"sense_index": 2}

The context is about the Supreme Court (specifically the "court" mentioned in "attorneys who have pending cases before the court").

We need map sense. There are several senses:
1 court%1:14:00:: an assembly including one or more judges to conduct judicial business; synonyms tribunal, judicature.
8 court%1:06:05:: a tribunal presided over by magistrate/judges administering justice according to laws; synonyms lawcourt, court of law, court of justice.

In phrase "pending cases before the court", "the court" refers to the Supreme Court as an institution/assembly of judges. But candidates all are court senses; need choose indexed sense. We need parse WordNet indexes. Raw senses listed as 1-11 with keys:
1 court%1:14:00::
2 court%1:06:02::
3 court%1:14:01::
4 court%1:06:01::
5 court%1:18:00::
6 court%1:14:02::
7 court%1:06:03::
8 court%1:06:05::
9 court%1:06:04::
10 court%1:06:00::
11 court%1:04:00::

The WordNet sense indexes have numeric values. The candidates are not labeled 1-11 by index necessarily; the user labeled 1-11, we should choose sense_index as the number in the list? The instruction says return only JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. The senses are numbered 1-11. So output the candidate number. The sense key is court%1:14:00::. Which candidate number? 1. Need determine best. "attorneys who have pending cases before the court". This could mean the Supreme Court as an assembly of judges/institution. Sense 1 "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" - this is the institutional court, the body of judges. Sense 8 "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" - more physical/location? It includes synonyms lawcourt, court of law, court of justice, gloss "a tribunal". The phrase "before the court" often metonymy for the court as judicial authority/body. But WordNet uses location/assembly distinction? Actually in WordNet, court as "assembly" sense 1:14:00 is the judicial body, e.g. "the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff". Sense 8 is the physical place "court of law". Context "before the court" in Supreme Court context could be metonymy for the institution. However the phrase "cases before the court" is very common with sense 1, where court means " tribunal (assembly)". Let's check WN: sense 1 court%1:14:00:: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business; 'he was out of court'; 'the court has power'?" Hmm WordNet actual: noun.court.1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business. Examples maybe tribunal. noun.court.8? The listed 8 key is court%1:06:05::. Check actual WordNet: noun.court.05? "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice at law usually in a building having special facilities; 'he is being held in court'?" Actually noun.court.05 perhaps is "court of law". Let's recall WordNet senses for court noun:
noun.court.1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business (tribunal, judicature).
noun.court.2: Australian woman tennis player.
noun.court.3: the sovereign and his advisers (royal court).
noun.court.4: a specially marked horizontal area (court game).
noun.court.5: a room in which a lawcourt sits (courtroom).
noun.court.6: the residence or establishment in which a sovereign lives (royal court).
noun.court.7: a hotel for motorists.
noun.court.8: the family and retinue of a sovereign.
noun.court.9: respectful deference.
noun.court.10: an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls (courtyard).
noun.court.11: a gentleman's court? Wait exact ordering may vary. The keys given:
1:14: judicial assembly
2:06: courtroom
3:14: sovereign's advisers
4:06: game court
5:18: Margaret Court
6:14: family/retinue
7:06: motor hotel
8:06:05 lawcourt/tribunal
9:06:04 noble residence
10:06:00 courtyard
11:04:00 homage

The targeted use is Supreme Court institution, so sense 1.

Need output JSON. Ensure exactly {"sense_index": 1}. No explanation.

We need answer with JSON only. Need choose best sense. Target is appearance in context: Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality. This refers to justices Scalia and Thomas attending a black-tie fundraiser. So appearance means act of appearing in public view/attendance probably sense 5 "the act of appearing in public view" or sense 3 "formal attendance (in court or at a hearing) of a party in an action". Context is event fundraiser, not court? Candidates:
1 outward aspect
2 event of coming into sight
3 formal attendance in court
4 mental representation
5 act of appearing in public view
6 pretending

The sentence: "Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality". It's their act of showing up at a fundraiser, public appearance. Sense 5 fits best: the rookie made a brief appearance. Act of appearing in public view. Not sense 3 because formal attendance in court/legal. Not 2 event of coming into sight (less about act). So sense_index 5.
