Target lemma: danger
Target surface form: danger
Context:
In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real <t>danger</t> that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion.

reasoning_content:
The target word "danger" is used in the context: "I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights."

This usage refers to a risk or possibility of harm - the possibility that new technology could adversely affect fair trial rights. This is a "cause of pain or injury or loss" (sense 3) - the inclusion of new technology is a potential cause of harm to fair-trial rights. Alternatively, it could be sense 1 - the condition of being susceptible to harm.

Let me think more carefully. "There's a real danger that X is happening" - this is saying there is a risk/possibility that something harmful could occur. The "danger" here is the situation/possibility itself, not necessarily a specific cause.

Looking at the senses:
1. "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury" - "you are in no danger"
2. "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" - synonyms: risk, peril
3. "a cause of pain or injury or loss" - "he feared the dangers of traveling by air"
4. "a dangerous place"

Sense 1 seems to fit: there's a real danger (condition of being susceptible to harm) that X is happening. The fair-trial rights are in a state of being susceptible to harm.

Sense 3 could also fit: the inclusion of new technology is a cause of potential pain/injury to fair-trial rights.

Actually, the phrase "there's a danger that X" typically refers to the possibility/risk itself. Sense 2 mentions "risk" as a synonym and "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" - this example is very close to our context pattern.

Wait, let me re-read sense 2: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" - this seems to be about a venture, not about the danger/risk itself. The synonyms are risk and peril. The example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" does match our pattern.

But the definition of sense 2 is "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" which doesn't quite match. It's defined as a venture, but synonymized with risk. Hmm.

Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully, sense 2 for "danger" is "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" with synonyms "risk, peril, danger". This is the abstract sense of danger as risk/possibility.

Sense 1: "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury" - this is about being in danger.

The context "there's a real danger that..." is expressing a risk/possibility. This is closer to sense 2 (risk, peril).

But wait, "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" - this is an example of sense 2, and it matches our context "there's a real danger that X is happening" very well.

So sense 2 seems best.

Actually, I need to think again. Sense 1 is "condition of being susceptible to harm" - the state of being in danger. Sense 2 is "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" - this definition is odd for our context.

Hmm, let me reconsider. In WordNet, "danger" has these senses:
- danger%1:26:00:: : the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury
- danger%1:04:00:: : a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury (peril, risk)
- danger%1:26:01:: : a cause of pain or injury or loss
- danger%1:15:00:: : a dangerous place

Looking at the context: "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights"

This is saying there's a risk/possibility that harm will occur. The danger here is the risk itself.

Sense 1 (condition of being susceptible to harm) - "you are in no danger" - this is about the state of being in danger.
Sense 2 (peril, risk) - "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" - this is about the possibility of something bad happening.

Our context "there's a real danger that X" parallels "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" - both express a possibility/risk of something bad happening.

I think sense 2 is the best match here, but let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 2 once more.

Actually, "there's a real danger that X is happening" - the danger IS the possibility/risk. This is sense 2.

But the definition of sense 2 is awkward - "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury." This suggests recklessness rather than risk.

Hmm, but the examples include "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" which is exactly our pattern. And the synonyms are "risk, peril."

I think the intended match is sense 2 because of the parallel example. The definition is a bit misleading but the example clearly matches.

Wait, I should also consider sense 3: "a cause of pain or injury or loss" - "he feared the dangers of traveling by air." In our context, the "inclusion of new technology" could be seen as a cause of harm. But the sentence structure "there's a real danger that X" doesn't quite fit this sense. With sense 3, you'd more likely say "the inclusion of new technology is a real danger" or "X poses a real danger."

OK, I'll go with sense 2 because the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" most closely matches our context "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology is affecting..."

Actually wait. Let me re-examine. "There's a real danger that X" = there's a real risk/possibility that X. The danger here is the abstract risk/possibility. This is most naturally sense 1 (the condition of being susceptible) or sense 2 (risk/peril).

In WordNet:
- Sense 1: condition of being susceptible to harm - "you are in no danger"
- Sense 2: venture without regard to loss - but with example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" (synonymized with risk)

Hmm, I think sense 1 is also plausible. "There's a real danger" = there's a real condition of being susceptible to harm.

But the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" in sense 2 is a very close parallel to our context.

I'll go with sense 2.

Wait, let me look more carefully. The structure of "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" is identical to "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology is affecting..." Both express a risk/possibility of something bad occurring.

Yes, sense 2 is the best match.

Hmm, but I want to double-check by considering sense 1 more carefully. "You are in no danger" - this is about the state of being in danger. "There's a real danger that X" - this is also about the state of being in danger (the state of risk exists).

OK both senses could work, but the specific example in sense 2 is a stronger parallel. I'll go with sense 2.

Final answer: sense_index 2

The target word is "inclusion" in the context: "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights."

This refers to the act of including new technology in the courtroom. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=inclusion%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being included
2. sense_key=inclusion%1:24:00:: | definition=the relation of comprising something | synonyms=comprehension
3. sense_key=inclusion%1:17:00:: | definition=any small intracellular body found within another
4. sense_key=inclusion%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of including

The context is about the act of including new technology in the courtroom. This is the act of including, which corresponds to sense 4 (inclusion%1:04:00:: - the act of including).

Sense 1 is about the state of being included (passive state).
Sense 4 is about the act of including (active process).

The sentence "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" refers to the act of bringing in or incorporating new technology. This is the act of including, so sense 4 is the best match.

"Fair-trial rights" - this is about legal rights due to a person by law. Sense 1 is about "an abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature" - this fits well.

Sense 8 is also about plural uses and interests possessed by law, but it's more about "intangible things" like mineral rights, film rights.

Sense 1 with the examples "they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; Certain rights can never be granted to the government but must be kept in the hands of the people" fits the context of "fair-trial rights" better.

I'll go with sense 1.

Sense 1 is about "an abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature" which fits well. Sense 8 is about "the interest possessed by law or custom in some intangible thing" with examples like "mineral rights; film rights" - this is more about property/intangible interests.

"Fair-trial rights" refers to legal entitlements of a person (the right to a fair trial), which fits sense 1 better than sense 8.

reasoning_content: The context discusses legal claims/arguments made by defense lawyers that the "intense reporting on the trial... created a 'circus atmosphere'" and that the jury was "improperly swayed by public passions." These are assertions that something is true or factual - sense 2 fits best.

Context:
On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last <t>week</t>, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "week" in the phrase "a ruling last week". This refers to a period of seven consecutive days, meaning the week before the current time. It's not specifically about workdays (workweek) or a calendar week starting on Sunday. It's the general "any period of seven consecutive days" sense.

Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days" - this fits "last week" meaning the seven days before now.
Sense 2: "hours or days of work in a calendar week" - this is about workweek, doesn't fit.
Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" - this is a calendar week starting on Sunday, but "last week" is more general.

The best fit is sense 1.

The target word "evidence" appears in the context: "the news media were 'carefully controlled' and that there was no <t>evidence</t> the jury was driven by passion."

This is in a legal context - discussing a trial, appeals, jury, and courtroom rules. The sentence is about whether there was proof/indication that the jury was swayed by public passions.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=evidence%1:09:00:: | definition=your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief | synonyms=grounds
2. sense_key=evidence%1:10:01:: | definition=an indication that makes something evident | examples=his trembling was evidence of his fear
3. sense_key=evidence%1:10:00:: | definition=(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved

Sense 3 is explicitly marked as (law) and relates to judicial trial, which matches the context perfectly. The context is about a trial, jury, and judicial proceedings. The phrase "there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion" is about the lack of proof/means to establish a fact at trial.

Sense 1 is more general - "your basis for belief or disbelief" - which could also fit, but sense 3 is specifically for the legal/judicial context.

Sense 2 is about an indication that makes something evident - this is more about a sign or symptom.

The best fit is sense 3 because:
- It's explicitly a legal sense
- The context is about a judicial trial
- The word is used in the legal context of proof/means to establish facts at trial

I'll go with sense_index 3.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses a trial where the jury was "improperly swayed by public passions" and the judge said "there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion." In legal context, "passion" here refers to intense emotion or emotional bias that could influence a jury's decision. This aligns with the concept of being "driven by passion" meaning emotional intensity affecting judgment.

Looking at the senses:
1. "a strong feeling or emotion" - passionateness
2. "the trait of being intensely emotional" - heat, warmth
3. "something that is desired intensely" - rage
4. "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" - mania, cacoethes
5. "a feeling of strong sexual desire"
6. "any object of warm affection or devotion" - love
7. "the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion"

In legal context, "passion" often refers to being influenced by emotion rather than reason. The phrase "driven by passion" suggests irrational emotional motivation affecting judgment. Sense 2 (the trait of being intensely emotional) or sense 1 (a strong feeling or emotion) seem most relevant.

Actually, sense 4 "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" with synonyms "mania, cacoethes" seems very relevant to a jury being "swayed by public passions" - meaning the jury was influenced by irrational emotional motives in their belief/action (verdict). In legal terminology, "verdict swayed by passion" means the jury let emotion override evidence and reason.

However, sense 1 "a strong feeling or emotion" is also quite general and could fit. Let me think about which is more precise.

The phrase "driven by passion" in the context of a jury verdict typically means emotional bias - being emotionally swayed. This is closer to sense 2 "the trait of being intensely emotional" (heat, warmth) - referring to the quality of being emotional, which would be the characteristic that drives improper decisions.

Actually, sense 4 "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" fits best because in legal context, "passion" refers to an irrational influence on belief/judgment. The jury's belief (verdict) was supposedly influenced by an irrational motive (public passions).

Let me reconsider. The context says "the jury was improperly swayed by public passions" - here "passions" is plural, referring to emotional responses of the public that could influence the jury. And "driven by passion" - the quality of being emotionally driven.

Sense 2: "the trait of being intensely emotional" - this is about the trait/quality
Sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion" - this is about an instance of emotion
Sense 4: "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" - this is about irrational motivation

In the phrase "driven by passion," passion is what's doing the driving - it's like a force or motive. This aligns with sense 4 about being an irrational motive for action/belief.

But also "public passions" suggests collective emotional states, which could be sense 1 (instances of strong emotion) or sense 2 (the trait).

I think sense 2 is the best fit because "the jury was driven by passion" speaks to the jury's emotional state/trait, and "public passions" suggests the public being characterized by intense emotion. The definition "the trait of being intensely emotional" with synonyms "heat, warmth" captures this well.

Hmm, but actually, looking at this more carefully - in legal terminology, "verdict influenced by passion" is a well-known concept referring to a verdict influenced by emotion rather than evidence. This is about emotional motivation driving a decision (verdict/action). Sense 4 "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" with "mania" as a synonym seems very fitting.

Let me go with sense 4, as it best captures the legal meaning of being swayed by passion - where passion acts as an irrational motive influencing belief or action (the verdict).

Wait, I want to reconsider once more. The examples for sense 4 are "mania, cacoethes" - these are intense, almost obsessive states. "Public passions" swaying a jury is more about general emotional bias than obsessive mania.

Sense 2 "the trait of being intensely emotional" seems to fit better - the public is characterized by intense emotionality, and this trait of being emotional is what could improperly influence the jury.

I'll go with sense 2.

Actually, re-reading again: "such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details" led to "public passions" which "improperly swayed" the jury. And the judge said there was "no evidence the jury was driven by passion."

"Driven by passion" - here passion is the motivating force. In legal context, this is emotional bias. Sense 2 captures "being intensely emotional" as a trait, which is what would be problematic in a jury.

I think sense 2 is correct.

But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years.

reasoning_content:
The target phrase "last word" in the context means "the final, definitive decision/statement on the issue." The sentence says "But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue," meaning the judge's ruling is not likely to be the final, definitive statement on the matter - appeals courts will continue to address it.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "the final statement in a verbal argument" - This fits the concept of the last/definitive statement on an issue. The example "she always gets the last word" is similar to the usage here.

2. "an authoritative statement" - This is also close. "My doctor has the last word on the medicines I take" suggests authority/finality.

3. "elegance by virtue of being fashionable" - Clearly not relevant.

The key distinction between senses 1 and 2: Sense 1 is about the final statement in an argument/debate, while sense 2 is about an authoritative/definitive statement.

In this context, "the last word on the issue" means the final, definitive ruling/decision. It's used in the sense of "the final say" - the matter won't be settled with this ruling.

Sense 1 seems to fit best: "the final statement in a verbal argument" - this is about being the conclusive, final word in a discussion/debate. The context is about legal arguments and the idea that the judge's ruling won't be the final word (because appeals will follow).

Sense 2 is more about authority - "my doctor has the last word" means the doctor is the authority. Here, the sense is more about finality than authority per se - it's saying the ruling won't be the conclusive end of the discussion.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The last word on the issue" - this could be either. But I think sense 1 is the better fit because the context emphasizes that the ruling won't be the final/concluding statement in the ongoing legal debate about this issue. It's about finality in a discussion/argument, not about authority.

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word is "issue" in the context: "But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue."

Looking at the context, the article is discussing appeals arguments about whether new technology affects fair trial rights. The sentence "But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue" means this matter/question/topic will continue to be discussed.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - This fits well. The issue here is a question/matter that is in dispute (whether new technology affects fair trial rights) and must be settled by appeals courts.

3. "some situation or event that is thought about" (topic, subject, matter) - This also fits as a more general sense.

The distinction between sense 1 and sense 3: Sense 1 is specifically about something in dispute that must be settled (like a legal issue), while sense 3 is more general (a topic or subject).

In the context, "the issue" refers to the legal/controversial question about whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. This is clearly something in dispute. The phrase "last word on the issue" is a common expression meaning the final determination on a disputed matter.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled." The examples include "politicians never discuss the real issues" and "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone" - this sense captures the legal/disputed nature of the question.

Sense 3 is more neutral - just any topic or subject. But here, "the issue" is specifically referring to the controversial legal question at hand.

I'll go with sense 1.

The user wants me to choose the best sense for "issue" in the context "that is not likely to be the last word on the issue."

The context is about appeals courts and legal questions. "The issue" here refers to a matter/question that is in dispute and needs to be settled.

Looking at the candidates:
1. sense_key=issue%1:09:01:: | definition=an important question that is in dispute and must be settled
3. sense_key=issue%1:09:00:: | definition=some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter

Both 1 and 3 could fit, but sense 1 is more specific - "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - which fits the legal context of appeals and disputes about courtroom rules. Sense 3 is more general "topic, subject, matter."

Given the legal context and the phrase "the last word on the issue" (implying it's unsettled/disputed), sense 1 is the best fit.

Target lemma: decade
Target surface form: decades
Context:
One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For <t>decades</t>, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media.

reasoning_content: The word "decades" in context refers to a period of time spanning multiple 10-year periods ("For decades, appeals courts have recognized..."). This is clearly the "a period of 10 years" sense, not the cardinal number sense.

Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a <t>Cleveland</t> osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The crime is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive."
