reasoning_content:
We need answer JSON. Need choose sense. Context: "The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts." It means presence/proportion of American companies among those represented. Representation as state of serving as official delegate? Not exactly. It's like "presence" or "share" of American oil giants participating. Candidate senses: 1 mental representation. 2 visual/tangible rendering. 3 act of representing; standing in for someone or group and speaking with authority. 4 state of serving as official and authorized delegate or agent. 5 body of legislators. 6 contract statement. 7 performance. 8 statement appealing. 9 right of being represented. 10 activity that stands as equivalent.

In this context, "representation of American oil giants" refers to their involvement/presence, maybe delegates? In economics: "meager representation of American oil giants" = few American companies represented. Which WordNet sense covers "the fact of being represented; the presence of representatives"? Let's inspect senses. Sense 1:04:01 act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf. Sense 1:26:00 state of serving as official and authorized delegate or agent (delegacy, agency). Sense 1:07:00 right of being represented. The phrase "representation of American oil giants" likely means the presence/standing in for the group, but not official delegate. The meager representation means there weren't many of them acting/representing. WordNet sense 3 (1:04:01) includes "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf". It matches the act of representing a group in negotiations, auction. "Meager representation" = small number of representatives acting. Sense 4 (state) synonyms delegacy, agency - more official appointment. But here no official delegate, just companies. However WordNet "representation" can mean "the act of representing or standing in for" and "the state of serving as official delegate". The sentence: "American companies walked away with stakes... Seven ... participated... Two reached deals. The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts." This usage is about the fact/representation of American oil giants (i.e., their involvement/appearance). It could be sense 10? activity that stands as equivalent? No.

Let's check WordNet definitions more carefully by memory. representation:
1. (cognition) a presentation to the mind in the form of an idea or image
2. (artifact) a creation that is a visual or tangible rendering
3. (act, representing) the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf
4. (state) the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent
5. (group) a body of legislators
6. (communication) a factual statement made to induce contract
7. (communication) performance
8. (communication) statement of facts and reasons appealing
9. (attribute) the right of being represented
10. (act) an activity that stands as equivalent of something.

In context, "representation" = "presence of representatives; participation". This is closest to sense 3 (act of representing). But could be sense 4 (state of serving as delegate)? The phrase "representation of American oil giants" = American oil giants serving as delegates? Actually the companies are participants/representatives of the US oil industry, not appointed delegates. "Meager representation" is an idiom: small number of people/things representing a group. WordNet sense 3 includes "act of representing; standing in for someone or some group". American companies are standing in for American oil industry/giants in the auction. So sense 3.

Need return only JSON {"sense_index": 3}. The instructions say do not answer with WordNet sense key. JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}. Use 1-indexed candidate senses. So answer.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content: We need answer JSON only. Choose sense index. Context: analysts surprised about Iraqi oil deals, American oil companies, Asians/Europeans leading. The analysts here likely financial/political/industry experts. Candidate 1: someone skilled at analyzing data. Candidate 2: expert who studies financial data (credit/securities/sales/financial patterns) and recommends business actions. Candidate 3: psychoanalyst. Not psychoanalyst. The text deals with oil industry, oil ministry, auctioned fields, U.S. companies winning less. Those are likely industry or financial analysts? Sense 2 mentions financial data and recommends business actions. But are they financial analysts? In business journalism, "analysts" often refers to industry analysts (energy analysts, oil analysts). WordNet sense 2 restricts to financial data (credit/securities/sales/financial patterns). The context is about oil sector, not necessarily financial securities. However sense 1 broad: skilled at analyzing data. But examples? We don't have examples. We need choose best indexed sense. The target "analysts" in news about Iraq oil industry: people who analyze oil market/geopolitics/business. Sense 2 is more specific than 1 but may be too narrow as it is "financial data"; industry analysts are financial analysts maybe covering oil equities. The phrase "surprised analysts" in business context is frequently financial analysts. Let's parse senses: 1 someone skilled at analyzing data; 2 an expert who studies financial data (on credit or securities or sales or financial patterns etc.) and recommends appropriate business actions; 3 psychoanalyst. The context: oil auction results, American companies got few deals. Who would be surprised? Industry observers / analysts tracking oil business. They are not necessarily treating psychoanalysis. Could be sense 1 or 2. We need decide which WordNet sense best fits. Definition 2 includes securities, sales, financial patterns etc. Iraq oil deals are business deals, not solely finance. But "analyst" in commercial context often = financial analyst. The text also mentions "editor of Iraq Oil Forum" as a source. Maybe analysts are "oil analysts" not strictly financial. WordNet sense 2 examples maybe "securities analyst", "financial analyst", "market analyst", "industry analyst", "oil analyst"?? Need infer. Fine-grained WSD: choose single best indexed sense. The context is economic/news/business. I think 2 fits better than 1 because they are experts who study financial/business data and recommend actions. Even if broad, sense 1 is too generic. But "analyst" in sense 1 could be anyone analyzing data. In WordNet, "analyst%1:18:00" is typically the top sense: a person skilled at analyzing. Sense 2 is narrower "financial analyst". In contexts like "military analysts" you'd use sense 1. Here oil analysts probably financial/business analysts. However "oil industry analysts" = analysts of oil industry. WordNet sense 2 says financial data (on credit or securities or sales or financial patterns etc.) and recommends business actions. That seems apt because oil deals affect markets; they recommend investment. I'd select 2. Need return JSON only {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "doors" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target sentence is: "Iraq finally opened its <t>doors</t> after six years of war, and instead of U.S. companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way"

The phrase "opened its doors" here is metaphorical. It means Iraq finally allowed access/opportunity to foreign companies after being closed off due to war. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. door%1:06:00:: - a swinging or sliding barrier (physical door)
2. door%1:06:01:: - the entrance/space (doorway)
3. door%1:07:00:: - anything providing a means of access (or escape); examples include "we closed the door to Haitian immigrants; education is the door to success"
4. door%1:06:04:: - a structure where people live or work
5. door%1:06:03:: - a room that is entered via a door

The context clearly uses "opened its doors" metaphorically to mean opening access/opportunity for foreign investment/companies. This matches sense 3: "anything providing a means of access (or escape)". The example "we closed the door to Haitian immigrants" is directly analogous - it's about access to a country.

So the answer should be sense_index 3.

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

Sense 1 is clearly the best fit: "an institution created to conduct business". The examples even include "large well-established companies" which fits perfectly with "American oil giants".

WordNet senses listed: 1 place of business for retailing goods (shop). 2 wall socket. 3 opening permits escape or release. 4 activity that frees, vents. None directly matches news/media outlet.

The senses: 1:06:01 place of business for retailing goods; 1:06:02 receptacle; 1:06:00 an opening; 1:04:00 activity that frees. "News outlet" could be a place of business that sells news? In lexicography, news outlet is a media organization. It's not in given set; among candidates, maybe sense 1 because 'place of business for retailing goods' but 'news outlet' originally as business that distributes goods? No, outlet as a shop/retail store in commerce that sells goods. 'an online news outlet' means an organization that publishes news online; possibly a place of business. Better in WordNet might be sense 1 "a place of business for retailing goods" as a place (not the goods, but outlet is location of a company's product distribution). Wait "news outlet" is a media outlet; WordNet may include it under outlet#1? It's an establishment where merchandise is sold or services are provided? Actually place of business. A news outlet is a business that provides news. So sense 1 is best fit among four. Need return JSON {"sense_index":1}.

We need answer Word Sense Disambiguation for target lemma concern surface form Concerns. Need choose best indexed sense among 5. Return only JSON {"sense_index": int}. Need not include explanation.

We need analyze context. Sentence: "Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq..." The word "Concerns" here means worries or anxious feelings about security and political instability. It is plural. Could be sense 4: something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness (synonyms: worry, headache, vexation). Or sense 1: something that interests you because it is important or affects you. Or sense 2: an anxious feeling (care, fear). But plural "concerns over security" refers to worries about security, not feelings necessarily? The phrase "concerns over security" is a source of worry; also can be "worries". Need choose best.

Let's examine WordNet senses:
1. concern%1:09:00:: something that interests you because it is important or affects you. Example: the safety of the ship is the captain's concern. That can fit: security is a concern (matter of importance). But phrase "concerns over security" may be a worry. The context says "likely kept American oil companies from venturing" implying anxiety, not just interest. But sense 1 can also be "something that interests you because important".

4. concern%1:09:01:: something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness. synonyms worry, headache, vexation. Example: New York traffic is a constant concern; it's a major worry. This is about a thing causing anxiety. "Concerns over security" = security concerns; security is source of anxiety. Plural matches.

2. concern%1:12:01:: an anxious feeling; care, fear. Example: care had aged him. This is the internal feeling. Plural possible "his concerns were evident"? But phrase "concerns over security" likely external sources rather than anxious feeling? "Concerns over security" usually can mean "worries about security" but as noun it means sources of worry? Let's look at typical WordNet mapping. Concern (noun) sense 4 is "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness; 'New York traffic is a constant concern'; 'it's a major worry'". Synset includes worry, headache, vexation. Concern in "safety concerns" maps to sense 4? However "safety is the captain's concern" maps sense 1. The difference: sense 1 is something that interests you because important/affects you; sense 4 is something causing anxiety.

In this sentence: "Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability ... likely kept American oil companies from venturing..." The security and instability are sources of anxiety that deterred. The plural "concerns" here is often a noun referring to things causing worry. Sense 4 seems best.

Need produce JSON only. Ensure index? Candidate senses listed 1-5. We choose 4. Return exactly {"sense_index": 4}.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
 The user is asking me to perform word sense disambiguation for the target word "bombing" (surface form "bombings") in a given context. I need to choose between two candidate senses.

Let me analyze the context:

"Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated <t>bombings</t> Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq..."

The sentence mentions "massive coordinated bombings" in Iraq that underscored security concerns. This is describing an attack event in Iraq, where bombs were dropped or detonated by attackers.

Now let's compare the two senses:

1. bombing%1:04:00:: - "an attack by dropping bombs" | synonym: bombardment
2. bombing%1:04:01:: - "the use of bombs for sabotage; a tactic frequently used by terrorists"

To differentiate: Sense 1 is more general and typically refers to aerial bombardment or military-style dropping of bombs. The synonym "bombardment" suggests this is the standard military attack sense.

Sense 2 is specifically "for sabotage; a tactic frequently used by terrorists." This seems to fit insurgent/terrorist attacks using bombs for disruptive purposes.

In the context, the bombings are in post-war Iraq, coordinated attacks likely by insurgents/terrorists, aimed at destabilizing security and creating fear. These are not necessarily aerial bombings by another military force (though that could happen). The phrase "coordinated bombings" in the context of Iraq's security situation during U.S. withdrawal strongly suggests insurgent/terrorist bombings for sabotage/destabilization purposes.

However, the phrasing "massive coordinated bombings" without indicating who's responsible could be interpreted either way. But given the context is about security concerns due to bombings in Iraq during the insurgency period, sense 2 with the "terrorists" and "sabotage" aspect seems more fitting.

Let me reconsider. The context describes "massive coordinated bombings Tuesday" - real-world reference to the 2009 Baghdad bombings or similar coordinated attacks in Iraq by insurgent groups. These were terrorist/sabotage bombings, not aerial bombardment.

Sense 1: attack by dropping bombs - This could apply broadly to any bombing.
Sense 2: use of bombs for sabotage, terrorist tactic - This specifically fits insurgent/terrorist attacks.

Given the real-world context of insurgent bombings in Iraq, sense 2 seems best.

But wait - WordNet indexing: the sense keys show bombing%1:04:00:: and bombing%1:04:01::. The sense indices would be 1 and 2 respectively (the number after the % doesn't matter; we need to output the index as listed in the candidates). The user gave candidates as:
1. sense_key=bombing%1:04:00::
2. sense_key=bombing%1:04:01::

So if I choose sense 2, I output {"sense_index": 2}.

Actually, let me think again about which sense is more appropriate. The context mentions "massive coordinated bombings Tuesday" - coordinated suicide bombings / car bombings in Baghdad were indeed terrorist tactics. So sense 2 (terrorist/sabotage) is best.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "instability" in a specific context. I need to choose from 4 candidate senses and return only a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

Let me analyze the context:
"Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political <t>instability</t> as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq..."

The word "instability" here is specifically "political instability." It refers to instability in Iraq's political order, caused by war, bombings, and U.S. withdrawal. It means the political situation is unstable, unsteady, not reliable.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. instability%1:26:00:: = "an unstable order" - This is very relevant! Political instability = unstable political order.
2. instability%1:07:01:: = "unreliability attributable to being unstable" - This focuses on unreliability.
3. instability%1:26:01:: = "a lack of balance or state of disequilibrium" (synonyms: imbalance, unbalance) - This is about physical/physiological balance, like "hormonal imbalance."
4. instability%1:07:00:: = "the quality or attribute of being unstable and irresolute" (synonyms: unstableness) - This is about being irresolute.

Wait, I need to be careful here. In WordNet, the senses may have different numbering. Let me think about what each really means.

Sense 1: "an unstable order" - this could refer to political/social order, which fits "political instability" perfectly.
Sense 2: "unreliability attributable to being unstable" - more about something being unreliable.
Sense 3: "a lack of balance or state of disequilibrium" - physical/mental equilibrium.
Sense 4: "the quality or attribute of being unstable and irresolute" - personal quality of being irresolute.

"Political instability" typically means an unstable political order/situation. This strongly points to sense 1: "an unstable order."

However, I should double-check. WordNet's "instability" senses might be:
- instability, instableness (attribute of being unstable and irresolute)
- instability (unreliability attributable to being unstable)
- instability, imbalance, unbalance (lack of balance or state of disequilibrium)
- instability (an unstable order)

Hmm, in WordNet 3.0, I recall:
1. instability, instableness -- (the quality or attribute of being unstable and irresolute)
2. instability -- (unreliability attributable to being unstable)
3. instability, imbalance, unbalance -- (a lack of balance or state of disequilibrium)
4. instability -- (an unstable order)

But the user provides sense keys, which help. The lexical file numbers indicate:
- %1:26:00 - noun.state
- %1:07:01 - noun.attribute
- %1:26:01 - noun.state
- %1:07:00 - noun.attribute

So sense 1 (%1:26:00) and sense 3 (%1:26:01) are noun.state (states/conditions). Sense 2 and 4 are noun.attribute (attributes/qualities).

"Political instability" refers to a state/condition of the political system, not an inherent attribute. So it should be either sense 1 or 3.

Sense 1: "an unstable order" - directly about order, especially social/political order.
Sense 3: "a lack of balance or state of disequilibrium" - about balance/equilibrium, like hormonal imbalance.

"Political instability" definitely fits "an unstable order" best. Political order/social order being unstable is exactly what this phrase means.

So the answer should be sense_index: 1.

Wait, let me reconsider. The user says "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}." But I should not answer with a WordNet sense key, just the index.

The candidate senses are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. So I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

Let me be absolutely sure. "Political instability" is a classic collocation meaning the political order is unstable. This matches sense 1 definition "an unstable order." The context discusses Iraq's security and political situation as the U.S. withdraws, which is about the stability of the political order. Not about being irresolute (sense 4), not about physical balance (sense 3), and not about unreliability generally (sense 2).

Therefore, the best sense is index 1.

Also "U.S. companies" earlier means companies of the United States. The target occurrence is "U.S. military". This refers to the country's armed forces, i.e., United States as a nation. Sense 2 (country) is best. Sense 1 would be the federal government; "U.S. government withdraws" maybe but phrase "U.S. military" belongs to the country. In WordNet, us%1:15:00:: is location/nation. u.s.%1:14:00:: is organization/government. "U.S. military" is an attribute of the nation, not the government. So index 2.

Target lemma: world
Target surface form: world
Context:
The only one that submitted a bid lost. Two American companies reached deals for fields auctioned in June. The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts. Iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war, and instead of U.S. companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way, said Ruba Husari, the editor of Iraq Oil Forum, an online news outlet. It will be a long time before anything else will be on offer in Iraq. Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq, which has the <t>world</t>'s third-largest proven crude reserves, analysts said. U.S. firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals, particularly the Chinese and other government controlled energy firms, have markedly lower labor costs and are more prone to take risks because they don't respond to shareholders.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
We need disambiguate "world" in sentence "which has the world's third-largest proven crude reserves". The context: Iraq has the world's third-largest crude oil reserves. So it refers to the planet Earth, the whole world — specifically sense 4 "the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on" with synonyms Earth, globe. In phrases like "world's third-largest", "the world's" means globally, all countries. The best WordNet sense is usually world%1:17:00:: (Earth). Let's verify candidate senses:
1 = everything exists anywhere; 2=dominion/group; 3=experiences/reality; 4=planet Earth; 5=people in general; 6=part of earth; 7=secular concerns; 8=all living humans. "World's third-largest proven crude reserves" = globally/Earth third largest. This maps to sense 4 (Earth, globe). However maybe sense 1 (universe/everything that exists anywhere) could also fit? Standard WSD for "world's largest" uses world%1:17:00:: (the Earth) or world%1:14:00? Let's recall WordNet 3.0 for "world". There is noun "world" senses:
- 1 everything that exists anywhere (universe, existence, creation, world, cosmos, macrocosm)
- 2 people in general; generic term for all ... especially ... (ecosystem etc)
- 3 all of your experiences that determine how things appear to you
- 4 the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet we live on
- 5 people in general considered as a whole (populace, public, world)
- 6 a part of the earth that can be considered separately
- 7 the concerns of this life as distinguished from heaven
- 8 all of the living human inhabitants of the earth
"the world’s third largest" is generally "world" sense earth? In concreteness, "world" = Earth planet. Thus sense index 4. Answer JSON only.

reasoning_content: We need answer with JSON only. Target lemma "analyst", surface "analysts". Context: news about American oil giants in Iraq, representation surprised analysts; later "analysts said" about concerns, security, political instability, etc. They are likely experts who study financial/business data? The three senses: 0 someone skilled at analyzing data (general), 1 expert who studies financial data and recommends business actions, 2 psychoanalyst. In news about oil industry, "analysts" typically financial/business/industry experts. Candidate 2 says expert who studies financial data (on credit or securities or sales or financial patterns etc.) and recommends appropriate business actions. Could this include oil industry analysts? Yes, often energy analysts (financial/market). Candidate 1 is generic someone skilled at analyzing data. Which is best? The context is about oil industry representation and business/economic reasons. "Analysts" in business journalism are often "financial analysts" or "industry analysts". The sense 2 includes financial data and business actions, maybe narrower. However the gloss says "financial data (on credit or securities or sales or financial patterns etc.)". The passage doesn't specifically mention securities or sales, but it's about oil industry, market positioning. WordNet has sense 00 as the general; 02 as the financial analyst. The examples maybe: "financial analyst", "market analyst". The use is in context of business news and oil market; sense 2 is best. Need produce JSON {"sense_index": 2}. But wait the instructions say do not answer with WordNet sense key. Return only a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}. So index corresponds to candidate order. They are candidate senses 1, 2, 3. Index is 2. Ensure only JSON. No extra.

reasoning_content: The target lemma is "u.s." but the target surface form is "U.S." The context is about American companies and oil fields in Iraq. The sentence containing the target is: "<t>U.S.</t> firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals, particularly the Chinese and other government controlled energy firms, have markedly lower labor costs..." So "U.S. firms" means firms from the United States, the country. Candidate sense 1 is the federal government (executive, legislative, judicial branches). Candidate sense 2 is the country/United States, North American republic. The target lemma "us" sense 2 is the country. The target lemma "u.s." sense 1 is government? Wait WordNet: "u.s." with sense_key u.s.%1:14:00:: is United States government. "us" with sense_key us%1:15:00:: is United States country. The surface form is U.S. (abbreviation). We need to choose best indexed sense. The context: "U.S. firms" = firms of the United States (country). It could be the country sense (United States). Synonyms include United States. Sense 1 synonyms: United States government, United States, U.S. government. It says United States government? Actually definition: the executive and legislative and judicial branches of the federal government. Synonyms include United States (but that may be ambiguous? WordNet groups US government as noun.group). Sense 2 is nation with synonyms USA, America, etc. In WSD, "U.S. firms" refers to location/country of origin, so sense 2. However, target lemma listing: sense keys differ in lemma: "u.s.%1:14" vs "us%1:15". The target lemma specified is "u.s.", candidate sense 2 says "us%1:15:00::". It's a different lemma but same surface form. We should choose single best indexed sense among candidates. Since candidate 2 is for country, matches context. The instruction says return JSON with sense_index. No hedging. So answer: {"sense_index": 2}.

The task: choose best indexed sense for target word "energy" in given context. Surface form energy. Context about oil fields auctioned in Iraq, American oil companies, rivals Chinese government-controlled energy firms. "energy firms" means companies/firms in the energy sector (oil/gas etc). Candidate senses include 1 physics quantity, 2 forceful exertion, 3 drive, 4 writing style, 5 healthy capacity, 6 any source of usable power, 7 Department of Energy.

In business/economics "energy firm" means company that produces/supplies energy (oil, gas, electric power). WordNet sense 6: "any source of usable power; examples: the DOE is responsible for maintaining the energy policy". Hmm sense 6 definition focused on sources of usable power (e.g., energy like electricity), not companies. But "energy firms" lexical usage: firms in the energy sector. In WordNet, sense 6 may cover "energy" as a power source. Synonyms? none listed except example "the DOE is responsible for maintaining the energy policy". Sense 1: physics thermodynamic quantity. Sense 6: any source of usable power. In phrase "government-controlled energy firms" means "firms in the energy industry/producing energy". The noun "energy" as modifier refers to the broader domain of energy (as an industry). Which sense covers that best? The domain/industry sense might not have its own sense? Possibly mapped to sense 6 "any source of usable power" because energy sector deals with usable power. Sense 1 is physics capacity. Sense 6 is usable power; e.g., "energy policy", "energy industry". Thus sense 6 likely. Need output just JSON.

The user wants me to disambiguate the word "companies" in the context of discussing oil firms in Iraq. The target surface form is "companies" and the target lemma is "company".

Let me analyze the context:
- The text talks about American oil giants
- U.S. companies vs Asians and Europeans
- American oil companies
- U.S. firms
- Exxon-Mobil and Occidental Petroleum were American companies that reached deals
- Major U.S. firms such as Chevron and ConocoPhillips

The sense here is clearly business companies/institutions. Looking at the candidates:

1. sense_key=company%1:14:01:: | definition=an institution created to conduct business | examples=he only invests in large well-established companies; he started the company in his garage
This matches perfectly - oil companies are institutions created to conduct business.

2. Military unit - no
3. State of being with someone - no
4. Performers - no
5. Visitor - no
6. Social gathering - no
7. Band of people temporarily - no
8. Ship's crew - no
9. Firefighters - no

The answer is sense index 1.

I need to return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}, so for this case it should be {"sense_index": 1}.
