Target lemma: justice
Target surface form: justices
Context:
The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law. 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 <t>justices</t>. 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."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=justice%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of being just or fair | synonyms=justness

reasoning_content: The target is "claims" in the phrase "belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules..." Here "claims" refers to assertions/statements that something is true — the justices' assertions that the court abides by the same rules. This matches sense 2: an assertion that something is true or factual. Examples: "his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims". The word "belies" (contradicts) fits perfectly with sense 2, like "evidence contradicted the government's claims". So answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
The context is about Supreme Court justices (Scalia and Thomas), ethics rules, pending cases before the court. The phrase "the court abides by the same rules" refers to the Supreme Court as an institution/assembly of judges conducting judicial business.

Candidate sense 1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business - tribunal, judicature. This matches "the court" as an institution.
Candidate sense 8: a tribunal presided over by magistrate/judges who administer justice according to laws - lawcourt, court of law. Also possible.

The distinction: sense 1 is the assembly/body (the justices collectively) to conduct judicial business; sense 8 is the tribunal institution. In context "the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges" — claims by several justices that the court abides by rules. This refers to the Supreme Court as a body/assembly of judges. "pending cases before the court" also refers to the tribunal.

Between 1 and 8: Sense 1 "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" with synonyms tribunal, judicature is the more standard sense for "the Court" (Supreme Court) as an institution. Sense 8 is "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate..." lawcourt, court of law.

WordNet: court%1:14:00:: is "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" — this is the sense for "the Supreme Court", the body. court%1:06:05:: is more the physical/institutional tribunal (lawcourt). Given the capitalized "the court" referring to the US Supreme Court institution comprising justices, sense 1 is best.

Final answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
The context: Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. Common Cause is a nonprofit watchdog/advocacy organization. "president of Common Cause" refers to the chief/head executive of an organization (an NGO/nonprofit). Candidate senses:
1 executive officer of a firm or corporation (business)
2 US President
3 chief executive of a republic
4 officer who presides at meetings of an organization (chairman)
5 head administrative officer of college/university
6 office of US head of state.

Common Cause is an organization, not a firm/corporation in strict WordNet sense, though nonprofit corporation. The title "president of Common Cause" is the head/chief executive of that organization. Among senses, sense 4 "officer who presides at the meetings of an organization" (chairman) is more about presiding at meetings, not CEO. Sense 1 "an executive officer of a firm or corporation" could fit if Common Cause is a corporation (nonprofit corporation). But common cause is an advocacy organization; president is chief executive of organization. WordNet's president%1:18:01 is "an executive officer of a firm or corporation" — often used for company president. Sense 4 is presiding officer at meetings, synonyms chairman, chair. The context Bob Edgar president of Common Cause = CEO/leader of public interest group. The closest? Need choose best indexed sense.

Let's examine WSD conventions. For "president of [organization]" if organization is nonprofit, the WordNet sense likely president%1:18:01 (an executive officer of a firm or corporation) vs president%1:18:03 (officer who presides at meetings). Many datasets: "president of the university" sense 5; "president of the company" sense 1; "president of the club/association" might sense 4? Actually sense 4 is specifically the officer who presides at meetings of an organization, chairman. For a nonprofit advocacy group, president is the chief executive officer, not merely meeting chair. Sense 1 gloss "firm or corporation" can include corporations (nonprofit corporations are corporations legally). Bob Edgar was president and CEO of Common Cause (actually he was president and CEO). Thus sense 1.

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 <t>justices</t> were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

The context is about a black-tie fundraiser - an organized social occasion. Looking at the candidate senses:

The user wants me to disambiguate "regard" in the sentence: "Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say..."

The phrase "shown little regard for critics" means they paid little attention/heed to critics, or showed little respect. Let's analyze.

"show little/no regard for" typically means to pay little attention to or care little about something/someone.

Sense 2: paying particular notice (attentiveness, heed, paying attention) - "he spends without heed to the consequences". "show little regard for" = pay little heed to. This fits well: they showed little attentiveness/heed to critics.

Sense 7: attitude of admiration or esteem (respect, esteem) - "she lost all respect for him". "show little regard for critics" could mean little respect for critics, but the construction "show regard for" more commonly means "pay attention to / heed" when it's "show little/no regard for X".

The phrase "have little regard for" can mean "not respect" OR "not care about/pay attention to". In context, critics say they too readily mix business with agenda-driven groups. Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for [the concerns of] critics = they haven't heeded/paid attention to those criticisms.

Actually "show regard for" idiom: "show (little/no) regard for someone/something" = to show (little/no) respect or consideration for. Hmm. WordNet sense 2 examples include "he spends without heed to the consequences" which parallels "without regard to the consequences". "show little regard for critics" = pay little heed/attention to critics' concerns.

Between sense 2 (paying particular notice/heed) and sense 7 (attitude of admiration/esteem).

The idiom "have/show regard for" meaning consideration/heed aligns with sense 2: "paying particular notice". The example "he spends without heed to the consequences" is structurally similar to "without regard to/for". "show little regard for critics" = show little attentiveness/consideration toward critics' objections.

Sense 7 is about admiration/esteem toward a person (respect for him). You can have little respect for critics, but "show little regard for critics who say..." is more about disregarding their criticism = paying little heed. The object is critics (people) though, not criticism. Still, "little regard for [the warnings/concerns of] critics" = heed.

The best fit is sense 2: attentiveness, heed, paying attention. The phrase "show little/no regard for" = pay little heed to. Choose index 2.
