The sentence is: "And neither is it a useful strategy for the next <t>game</t>, because the club will not be able to count on those players."
The word "game" refers to a sports match or contest that a "club" (sports team) will play.
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. a contest with rules to determine a winner
2. a single play of a sport or other contest (e.g., the game lasted two hours, the next game)
3. an amusement or pastime
4. animal hunted
5. (tennis) division of play
6. score
7. flesh of wild animals
8. secret scheme
9. game equipment
10. occupation
11. frivolous behavior

"the next game" in the context of a sports club refers to a single play of a sport or other contest (a match).
Wait, "a single play of a sport or other contest" matches sense 2. "the game lasted two hours". "the next game" = the next match.
Sense 1 is "a contest with rules to determine a winner" (e.g., "you need four people to play this game" - referring to the type of game, like chess or basketball).
Sense 2 is "a single play of a sport or other contest" (an instance of playing the game, i.e., a match). "the next game" means the next match.

Let's check WordNet senses for "game":
1. game (a contest with rules to determine a winner) "you need four people to play this game"
2. game (a single play of a sport or other contest) "the game lasted two hours"
3. game (an amusement or pastime) "they played word games"
...
In the sentence, "the next game" refers to a specific match (a single play of a sport). Thus, sense 2.

Let me double check sense 1 vs sense 2.
Sense 1: the concept or the type of game. "Basketball is a fun game."
Sense 2: an instance of the game. "The next game is on Tuesday." "the game lasted two hours."
Yes, "the next game" is an instance, so sense 2.

Sentence: "And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players."
"club" -> sports team. "next game" -> next match.
Sense 2: a single play of a sport or other contest.

Let's confirm if it could be 1. "you need four people to play this game" -> refers to the game as a system of rules.
Sense 2 is definitely the match.

Number: 2.
I will return 2.

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

Sentence: The <t>advantage</t>, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game.

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | examples=it turned out to my advantage

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The <t>advantage</t>, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game."

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | examples=it turned out to my advantage

Analysis:
The sentence talks about an "advantage" consisting in the fact that players will begin the following phase without yellow/red cards. This is a benefit resulting from an event or action (e.g., clearing cards, or a specific rule). Wait, "benefit resulting from some event or action" vs "quality of having a superior or more favorable position".
"The advantage consists in the fact that..." -> The benefit is that...
Sense 3: benefit resulting from some event or action.
Sense 1: superior or more favorable position (usually "advantage over someone").
Here, it's a benefit. "The advantage [of this rule/situation] consists in the fact that..." -> benefit.
Let's check WordNet definitions.
WordNet "advantage":
1. advantage (the quality of having a superior or more favorable position) "the experience gave him the advantage over me"
2. advantage (benefit resulting from some event or action) "it turned out to my advantage"; "reaping the advantages of his hard work"
3. advantage, vantage (tennis) first point scored after deuce

In the sentence, "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that..." refers to the benefit of a certain situation or rule. So Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"benefit resulting from some event or action" -> "The advantage... consists in the fact that..."
Could it be 1? "superior or more favorable position". Not really comparing to an opponent, just stating a benefit.
Therefore, 3.
There is a slight chance it's 1, but "benefit" fits "consists in the fact that..." much better.
Let's consider "benefit" = "advantage". "The benefit, obviously, consists in..." makes perfect sense.
So 3.
I will return 3.

Senses:
1. definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case
2. definition=a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened | examples=he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts
3. definition=an event known to have happened or something known to have existed | examples=your fears have no basis in fact

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the <t>fact</t> that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game."
The word "fact" here refers to a circumstance or situation that exists (the players will begin the following phase without cards...).
Let's look at the senses:
1. a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred (e.g., first you must collect all the facts of the case). Wait, "the fact that..." usually aligns with a concept whose truth can be proved or a circumstance that exists. Let's re-read WordNet senses for "fact".
WordNet senses for "fact":
1. fact (a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred) "first you must collect all the facts of the case"
2. fact, detail (a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened) "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"
3. fact (an event known to have happened or something known to have existed) "your fears have no basis in fact"
4. fact (a concept whose truth can be proved) "scientific hypotheses are not facts"

In the sentence: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that..."
"the fact that [clause]" refers to a circumstance that exists or a state of affairs. Is it sense 1 or 3 or 4?
Actually, "the fact that" often maps to sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist..." or maybe sense 1 is the most general for "the fact that X".
Wait, WordNet sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred".
Let's check the exact phrase: "the fact that"
Often "the fact that" is mapped to sense 1.
Let's consider "a concept whose truth can be proved" (sense 4). "scientific hypotheses are not facts".
"an event known to have happened" (sense 3). "basis in fact".
"a statement or assertion" (sense 2). "array of facts".
Here, "the fact that the players will begin..." is a circumstance that exists. So sense 1.
Let's double check.
"fact" as in "the fact that..." -> "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred". Sense 1.

Wait, is there any other interpretation?
In many word sense disambiguation datasets (like SemCor), "the fact that" is usually tagged as sense 1.
Let's review the options.
1: a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred
2: a statement or assertion of verified information...
3: an event known to have happened...
4: a concept whose truth can be proved...

Sentence: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that..."
"fact" here means the circumstance or state of affairs. Sense 1 includes "circumstances that exist".
Therefore, 1 is the best fit.
I will return 1.

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

Sentence: But it is about a long term <t>advantage</t>, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | examples=it turned out to my advantage

reasoning_content:
The sentence discusses a "long term advantage" in the context of a sports game (likely soccer/football, given the mention of "eliminated", "sanction game", "second cycle of cards", "suspension by card accumulation").
The word "advantage" here refers to a benefit or favorable position resulting from an action (fulfilling a sanction game, going to the second cycle of cards with one less card for suspension).
Let's look at the senses:
1. the quality of having a superior or more favorable position (e.g., the experience gave him the advantage over me)
2. (tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. benefit resulting from some event or action (e.g., it turned out to my advantage)

Wait, "long term advantage" - does it mean "benefit resulting from some event or action" or "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position"?
"it is about a long term advantage... with this action the players fulfil a sanction game..."
This sounds like a "benefit resulting from some event or action" (Sense 3) or "superior or more favorable position" (Sense 1).
Let's check WordNet senses for "advantage".
Sense 1: advantage (the quality of having a superior or more favorable position) "the experience gave him the advantage over me"
Sense 2: advantage, vantage ((tennis) first point scored after deuce)
Sense 3: advantage (benefit resulting from some event or action) "it turned out to my advantage"

In the sentence: "But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards..."
The action results in a benefit (fulfilling a sanction game, resetting cards). So it's a benefit resulting from an action.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
Sense 1 is often used with "have an advantage over", "give someone the advantage".
Sense 3 is "benefit", "turn out to my advantage", "take advantage of" (wait, take advantage of is a different sense or idiom).
"long term advantage" -> "long term benefit". Sense 3 fits perfectly as it's the benefit resulting from the action of getting a card or fulfilling a sanction game.
Actually, let's think if Sense 1 is better. "a long term advantage" -> a favorable position.
Wait, "benefit resulting from some event or action" is exactly what is described: "with this action the players fulfil a sanction game...". The advantage is the benefit of this action.
Let's choose Sense 3. Wait, let me double check Sense 1. "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position".
In many contexts, "advantage" as a countable noun meaning "a benefit" is Sense 3. "One advantage of this is..." -> benefit.
Here, "it is about a long term advantage" -> a long term benefit.
I'll go with 3.

Wait, looking at standard WordNet:
1. advantage (the quality of having a superior or more favorable position)
2. advantage, vantage (tennis)
3. advantage (benefit resulting from some event or action)

"a long term advantage" -> "a long term benefit". Sense 3.
Let's confirm.
"it turned out to my advantage" -> benefit.
"the experience gave him the advantage over me" -> superior position.
Sentence: "But it is about a long term advantage..." -> benefit.
I will output 3.
There's no "over" or comparison to another team's position explicitly in the immediate phrase, but rather a benefit gained from the action.
Therefore, Sense 3.
Let me reconsider Sense 1. Is "advantage" in sports usually Sense 1? "Play the advantage" (not listed). "Home advantage" (Sense 1).
Here it's about a strategic benefit. "benefit resulting from some event or action".
I will output 3.
Wait, let's read carefully: "with this action the players fulfil a sanction game...". The advantage is the benefit of the action. Sense 3.
Yes, 3.

1. degree, grade, level (a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality) "a moderate grade of intelligence"; "a high level of care is required"
2. degree (a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process) "a remarkable degree of frankness"; "she experienced a high degree of frustration" -> wait, "a certain degree of indetermination". Is it 1 or 2?
Wait, if it's "a certain degree of indetermination", it's an amount or extent.
Let's look at the options again.
Option 1: a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
Option 2: a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process

"a certain degree of indetermination" -> amount of indetermination.
Let's search for "degree of indetermination" or similar phrases in WordNet examples.
Actually, WordNet sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" -> "a moderate grade of intelligence", "a high level of care is required".
WordNet sense 2: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" -> "a remarkable degree of frankness", "she experienced a high degree of frustration" (wait, is this sense 2?)
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
S: (n) degree, grade, level (a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality) "a moderate grade of intelligence"; "a high level of care is required"
S: (n) degree (a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process) "a remarkable degree of frankness"; "she experienced a high degree of frustration"; "what is the degree of burn?" (wait, no, burn is sense 7)

Let's rethink: "degree" in "a certain degree of" usually maps to Sense 1 or Sense 2?
In SemCor, "a certain degree of" is often tagged as Sense 1 or 2?
Wait, "a certain degree of" -> extent, amount.
Let's consider "a remarkable degree of frankness" (Sense 2).
"a moderate grade of intelligence" (Sense 1).
Is "indetermination" an intensity/amount/quality (Sense 1) or a position in a continuum (Sense 2)?
"indetermination" is a quality or amount. "a certain degree of" = a certain amount of.
Let's check if there's a better fit.
Could it be 1? "degree" as amount/extent. "a certain degree of" = a certain amount of.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "a moderate grade of intelligence".
Sense 2: "a remarkable degree of frankness".
"degree of indetermination" is very similar to "degree of frankness". Both are abstract nouns.
Wait, "frankness" is a quality. "indetermination" is a state/quality.
Actually, in WordNet:
Sense 1: degree, grade, level
Sense 2: degree
Because "grade" and "level" are synonyms for Sense 1, it's about the scale itself or a position on it.
Sense 2 is just "degree", "a specific identifiable position in a continuum...".
"a certain degree of indetermination" -> "a certain amount of indetermination".
Usually, "to a certain degree", "to some degree", "a certain degree of" are mapped to Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Let's look at the phrasing: "with a certain degree of indetermination".
If I have to guess between 1 and 2, "a certain degree of" is an idiom for "some amount of". Amount -> Sense 1 (amount).
Wait, "a remarkable degree of frankness" is Sense 2.
Let's consider the phrase "degree of indetermination".
I will output 1 because "amount" is explicitly in definition 1, and "a certain degree of" means "a certain amount of".
Wait, definition 1 has "amount". Definition 2 does not. "indetermination" is an amount of uncertainty.
Let's check if Sense 1 is more appropriate. "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality".
Let's use 1.

Wait, looking closely at Definition 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality".
Definition 2: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
"a certain degree of indetermination" -> refers to the amount of indetermination. So 1.

Let's double check.
"degree" in "a certain degree of" -> Sense 1.
"a high degree of" -> Sense 1 or 2?
In many NLP datasets (like WiC or similar word sense disambiguation tasks), "degree" as in "extent" or "amount" is Sense 1.
I'll go with 1.
Wait, let me review if it could be 2. "a remarkable degree of frankness" is the example for 2. "frankness" is a quality. "indetermination" is also a quality/state.
But "amount" is in 1. "a certain degree" = "a certain amount". I'll bet on 1.
Actually, let me consider if "degree" in "with a certain degree of" is Sense 1. Yes, "degree, grade, level" -> "a moderate grade of intelligence". "Intelligence" is a quality.
I will return 1.
Wait, could it be 2? Let's check WordNet for "a certain degree".
Often, "degree" (extent) is Sense 1.
I will output 1.
Let me reconsider. Is there any chance it's 2? "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process". Indetermination is not really a process.
So 1 is better.
I will output 1.

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

Sentence: But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the <t>team</t> can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

Senses:
1. definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

reasoning_content:
The sentence is about a "team" that can be eliminated, players fulfilling a sanction game, going to a second cycle of cards, and suspension by card accumulation. This clearly refers to a sports context (specifically soccer/football, where yellow/red cards and suspensions are used).
Sense 1: a cooperative unit (especially in sports)
Sense 2: two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

The correct sense is 1.
I will return only the number 1.

Sentence: But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of <t>change</t>, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

Senses:
1. definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another | examples=the change was intended to increase sales
2. definition=a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event | examples=he attributed the change to their marriage

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "change" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of <t>change</t>, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle."

Wait, the sentence says "first of change". This looks like a translation or a specific sports context (maybe soccer/football?). "first of change" -> "first substitution"? In Spanish, "cambio" means both "change" and "substitution".
Let's look at the senses provided.
1. an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another
2. a relational difference between states
3. the action of changing something
4. the result of alteration or modification
5. the balance of money...
6. a thing that is different
7. a different or fresh set of clothes
8. coins...
9. money received...
10. a difference that is usually pleasant

In sports, a "change" (substitution) is an event where a player passes from being on the pitch to being off, or the action of changing a player.
"the team can be eliminated first of change" -> probably means "before making their first substitution" or "first change".
Wait, could it be "the action of changing something"? "first of change" -> "first substitution". Substitution is "the action of changing something" (Sense 3) or "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" (Sense 1).
Let's check WordNet senses for "change".
Sense 1: alteration, modification, change (an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another) "the change was intended to increase sales"; "this storm is certainly a change for the worse"
Sense 2: change (a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event) "he attributed the change to their marriage"
Sense 3: change (the action of changing something) "the change of government had no impact on the economy"
Sense 4: change (the result of alteration or modification) "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs"

In the context of sports, a "change" (substitution) is an action or event. "first change" -> first substitution.
"the team can be eliminated first of change" -> probably "before the first change" (antes del primer cambio).
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
"the action of changing something" -> "the change of government"
"an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" -> "the change was intended to increase sales"

Let's look at the phrasing: "first of change". In Spanish, "primer cambio" (first substitution). Substitution is the act of substituting. Act = action. So Sense 3: "the action of changing something".
Wait, could it be Sense 1? Let's check typical WordNet mappings for "cambio" in sports. Substitution is often mapped to "change" (the action of changing something).
Actually, "change" as in player substitution: "the act of changing one thing or position for another" - wait, that's "switch" or "substitution".
Let's consider Sense 3: "the action of changing something".
Let's consider Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".

Let's rethink: "the team can be eliminated first of change" - this is definitely a poor translation of "el equipo puede ser eliminado antes del primer cambio" (the team can be eliminated before the first substitution).
Substitution is the action of substituting. So "change" here means the action of changing a player. Thus, Sense 3: "the action of changing something".

Let's check if there is a better fit.
Could it be 1? "an event that occurs..."
Usually, "change" in the sense of "substitution" (e.g., in sports) is defined as "the action of changing something" or "an event...".
In WordNet, "substitution" is a hyponym of "change" (the action of changing something).
Wait, "change" (the action of changing something) has hyponyms like substitution, switch, etc.
Therefore, Sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
Sense 3: definition=the action of changing something | examples=the change of government had no impact on the economy.
Sense 1: definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another | examples=the change was intended to increase sales.

"first change" in sports -> the first substitution. Substitution is an action. So Sense 3.

Let's review the sentence again: "because the team can be eliminated first of <t>change</t>"
"first of change" -> "first substitution".
Action of changing a player. Sense 3.

Is there any other possibility?
Maybe "change" means "exchange"? No.
I'll go with 3.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again. "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
In sports, a substitution is an event. But WordNet classifies "substitution" under "change" (the action of changing something).
Let's check WordNet hierarchy:
change, alteration, modification (the action of changing something)
-> substitution, permutation, replacement, switch, swap
So "substitution" is a hyponym of Sense 3.
Hence, "change" meaning "substitution" corresponds to Sense 3.

Let's confirm.
Sense 3: the action of changing something.
Yes, "substitution" is the action of changing a player.
I will return 3.
There is a slight chance it's 1, but 3 is structurally the hypernym of substitution.
I'm confident in 3.

The word "action" refers to a specific act or thing done in the context of a game (likely soccer/football, given "cards", "suspension by card accumulation", "sanction game").
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. something done (usually as opposed to something said) - This fits perfectly. The "action" is the act of getting a card or committing a foul, a specific thing done.
2. the state of being active - No.
3. a military engagement - No.
4. a process existing in or produced by nature - No.
5. the series of events that form a plot - No.
6. the trait of being active and energetic - No.
7. the operating part that transmits power - No.
8. a judicial proceeding - No.
9. an act by a government body - No.
10. the most important or interesting work or activity - No.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.
Let's double check. "with this action the players fulfil a sanction game" -> "action" means "something done".
Yes, Sense 1.

The context is sports, specifically soccer/football or a similar sport with cards (yellow/red cards) and cycles of cards. "sanction game" means a game in which they serve a suspension (a match they miss as a sanction). Wait, "fulfil a sanction game" -> they serve a one-game suspension.
So "game" here means a single play of a sport or contest, i.e., a match.
Let's check the senses:
1. a contest with rules to determine a winner (the game of soccer in general)
2. a single play of a sport or other contest (the game lasted two hours, a sanction game = a one-match suspension)
Let's re-read carefully: "fulfil a sanction game" -> serve a one-game suspension.
Sense 2: "a single play of a sport or other contest" -> match.
Sense 1: "a contest with rules to determine a winner" -> the sport itself.

"sanction game" means a specific match they have to miss. So it's Sense 2.

Let's double check.
"the players fulfil a sanction game" -> they serve a one-game ban.
Game = match.
Sense 2: a single play of a sport or other contest.

Could it be Sense 1? "you need four people to play this game". No.
Sense 2 fits "match".

Let's confirm: "sanction game" = "suspension match".
Therefore, Sense 2.

The context is about sports (soccer/football), where players receive cards (yellow/red) and face a "suspension" (being banned from playing) by card accumulation.

Let's look at the senses:
1. a mixture in which fine particles are suspended... (chemistry/physics)

Therefore, sense 7 is the correct one.
Let's double check. "suspension by card accumulation" means the player is temporarily debarred from playing.
Sense 7: a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc).

1. definition=an increase by natural growth or addition
2. definition=several things grouped together or considered as a whole
3. definition=the act of accumulating
4. definition=(finance) profits that are not paid out as dividends but are added to the capital base of the corporation

reasoning_content:
The sentence talks about "suspension by card accumulation", which refers to the accumulation of yellow or red cards in a sports context (like soccer), where a player gets suspended after accumulating a certain number of cards.
Let's look at the senses:
1. an increase by natural growth or addition
2. several things grouped together or considered as a whole
3. the act of accumulating
4. (finance) profits...

"Card accumulation" refers to the act of accumulating cards, or the state of having accumulated them. Wait, "suspension by card accumulation" -> suspension due to the act of accumulating cards, or the accumulation (the gathering) of cards.
Sense 3: "the act of accumulating" - "accumulation of cards" -> the act of accumulating cards.
Sense 1: "an increase by natural growth or addition" - maybe?
Sense 2: "several things grouped together" - a collection.

Let's check WordNet senses for "accumulation":
1. accumulation, accrual, accrument (an increase by natural growth or addition)
2. accumulation, aggregation, assemblage, collection (several things grouped together or considered as a whole)
3. accumulation, accumulative (the act of accumulating) -> wait, WordNet: "accumulation" (the act of accumulating)
4. accumulation (finance)

In "card accumulation", it means the act of accumulating cards. "suspension by card accumulation" = suspension by the act of accumulating (cards). Or is it the result?
Actually, "the act of accumulating" fits best for "card accumulation" as a process that leads to suspension.
Let's re-read carefully: "suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle."
Could it be 3? Yes, "the act of accumulating".
Wait, could it be 1? "an increase by natural growth or addition". No, cards are not natural growth.
Could it be 2? "several things grouped together". A collection of cards? No, it's the process of getting them.

Let's check if there's a better fit.
"accumulation" in "card accumulation" translates to "acumulación de tarjetas" in Spanish.
"the act of accumulating" is Sense 3.

Let's confirm WordNet definitions:
Sense 1: accumulation, accrual, accrument (an increase by natural growth or addition) "the accumulation of wealth"
Sense 2: accumulation, aggregation, assemblage, collection (several things grouped together or considered as a whole) "an accumulation of evidence"
Sense 3: accumulation (the act of accumulating)

"suspension by card accumulation" -> the act of accumulating cards.
Therefore, Sense 3.
Let's double check.
"accumulation" -> 3.
I will return 3.

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "rounds" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "So that, by passing <t>rounds</t>, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Wait, "passing rounds"? Is it "passing rounds" like shooting? Or is it "passing rounds" like in a card game or boxing? Or maybe it's "passing rounds" of ammunition?
Let's search for the exact quote: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Wait, "passing rounds" could mean firing rounds of ammunition.
Let's check the context. It might be from a text about firearms or military tactics. "passing rounds" -> "firing rounds"? No, "passing rounds" could mean handing out ammunition?
Wait, what if it's "passing rounds" as in "shooting rounds"?
Let's reconsider the senses.
1. a charge of ammunition for a single shot
2. an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs
3. a regular route for a sentry
4. a series of professional calls
5. golf
6. usual activities
7. sports division
8. course along which communications spread
9. serving of alcohol
10. cut of beef
11. partsong
12. outburst of applause
13. crosspiece
14. circular mechanism

Could it be 1? "passing rounds" as in shooting/firing ammunition? "passing" might be a typo for "firing"? No, "passing rounds" might mean bullets passing by? "by passing rounds" -> bullets passing?
Wait, if it's "passing rounds", it could mean "firing rounds" in some contexts, or "passing" as in "exceeding"?
Let's search my knowledge base for "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Actually, maybe "passing rounds" refers to a game? No game sense is listed except golf and sports division.
What about "passing rounds" of drinks? No.
Let's think about "passing rounds" of ammunition. In a military context, "passing rounds" could mean handing ammunition to the gunner.
Or maybe it's "passing rounds" as in "firing rounds" - "passing" is not a standard synonym for firing, but maybe it's translated or from an older text.
Wait! Could it be "passing rounds" as in "passing" (surpassing) a certain number of rounds?
Let's consider "a charge of ammunition for a single shot" (Sense 1). "rounds" is plural. Firing/passing rounds.
Is there any other sense that fits "passing rounds"?
"passing rounds" -> "passing" could mean "going around"? No, that would be "passing round" (singular or adverb). Here it's "rounds" (plural noun).
What if it's from a text about boxing? "passing rounds" -> no, "going the distance" is used.
What if it's "passing rounds" of a tournament?
Let's look at Sense 1: "a charge of ammunition for a single shot". Plural: rounds. "passing rounds" -> perhaps "firing rounds" was meant, or "passing" as in "expending"?
Wait, could it be "passing rounds" in the context of a card game? (Not listed).
Let's reconsider the exact phrase: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Maybe it's about a gun: "by passing rounds" -> "by firing rounds"? No, "passing" might mean "feeding" or "chambering" rounds?
Could it be "passing rounds" as in "handing out rounds" (of drinks)? "by passing rounds [of drinks], it is not so clear..."
Let's guess Sense 1. Ammunition is often referred to in the context of "passing" (e.g., passing ammunition to the front line, or passing rounds through a gun).
Wait, "passing rounds" could be a translation of a foreign text.
Let's check WordNet senses for "round".
Sense 1: round, unit of ammunition (a charge of ammunition for a single shot)
Sense 2: cycle, round (an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs)
Sense 3: beat, round (a regular route for a sentry or policeman)
Sense 4: rounds (often plural) a series of professional calls
Sense 5: round (the activity of playing 18 holes of golf)
Sense 6: rounds (the usual activities in your day)
Sense 7: inning, round (sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive
Sense 8: round (the course along which communications spread)
Sense 9: round (a serving to each of a group)
Sense 10: round (a cut of beef)
Sense 11: round (a partsong)
Sense 12: round (an outburst of applause)
Sense 13: round, crosspiece (a crosspiece between the legs of a chair)
Sense 14: round (any circular or rotating mechanism)

Could "passing rounds" mean "firing rounds"? Yes, "passing" might be used in the sense of "shooting" or "discharging" (like passing a current). Or maybe it's "passing" as in "surpassing" (e.g. passing 100 rounds).
Actually, "passing rounds" could refer to "rounds" in a competition, but "round" as in sports division is Sense 7.
But "ammunition" is very commonly used with "rounds" in plural. "We fired 500 rounds." "passing rounds" -> maybe "expending rounds"?
Let's choose Sense 1. It's the most standard use of "rounds" as a plural noun that can be "passed" (as in, passed to a shooter, or passed through a weapon).
Wait, could it be "passing rounds" of a drinks? "passing rounds [of drinks]"? No, usually "buying rounds" or "ordering rounds".
I will output 1.
Let me double check if there's any context where "passing rounds" means something else.
In some contexts, "passing rounds" means doing a patrol (Sense 3 or 4)? "passing rounds" -> "making rounds"? "making rounds" is the standard idiom. "passing rounds" is not.
What about "passing rounds" of ammunition? "passing" as in "handing". "Ammunition passers" pass rounds.
I am confident it is 1.
Let's review the sentence again: "So that, by passing <t>rounds</t>, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Maybe it's from a specific corpus, like the Brown Corpus or similar, used for Word Sense Disambiguation.
If it is ammunition, "passing rounds" makes sense in a military or shooting context.
I will return 1.

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

Sentence: So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | examples=it turned out to my advantage

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."
The word is "advantage".
Senses:
1. the quality of having a superior or more favorable position
2. (tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. benefit resulting from some event or action

In the sentence, "it is not so clear that it is an advantage" refers to a benefit or favorable outcome resulting from "passing rounds".
Let's look at the examples.
Sense 1: "the experience gave him the advantage over me" (superior position)
Sense 3: "it turned out to my advantage" (benefit resulting from some event or action)

"passing rounds" is an event or action. The result is a benefit. So Sense 3 fits best. "it turned out to my advantage" -> "it is an advantage".
Wait, Sense 1 is "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position".
Sense 3 is "benefit resulting from some event or action".
"by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage." -> benefit.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "advantage".
1. advantage, vantage (the quality of having a superior or more favorable position) "the experience gave him the advantage over me"
2. advantage ((tennis) first point scored after deuce)
3. advantage, benefit (benefit resulting from some event or action) "it turned out to my advantage"

"by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Is it benefit? Yes, passing rounds is an action/event, and the advantage is the benefit resulting from it.
Therefore, Sense 3.
Let's double check. If someone passes rounds (like in a game or tournament), the benefit of doing so.
I'll output 3.
Wait, "it turned out to my advantage" vs "it is an advantage".
Both use "advantage" as a countable or uncountable noun meaning benefit.
I will return 3.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is <t>part</t> of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
The word "part" here means a portion or component of something larger (the strategic decisions).
Let's look at the senses:
1. something determined in relation to something that includes it (e.g., he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself) -> "part of" as in belonging to or being a component of an abstract or larger concept.
2. something less than the whole of a human artifact (rear part of the house)
3. a portion of a natural object
4. that which concerns a person (on our part)
5. extended spatial location (parts of France)
6. actions and activities assigned (function)
7. actor's portrayal
8. assets (share)
9. one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole (the written part of the exam)
Wait, "part of the strategic decisions" -> "sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions".
Is it 1 or 9?
Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself". Also "part of" in a more abstract, inclusive sense.
Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" -> "the written part of the exam", "the first part of the book".
In the sentence: "the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions..."
Actually, "part of" here means a component or element of.
Let's check WordNet senses for "part".
Noun:
1. part, portion, component part, component, constituent (something determined in relation to something that includes it) "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself"; "I read a portion of the manuscript"; "the smaller component is hard to reach"; "the animal constituent of plankton"
2. part, portion (something less than the whole of a human artifact) "the rear part of the house"; "glue the two parts together"
3. part, portion (a portion of a natural object) "they analyzed the river into three parts"; "he needed a piece of granite"
4. part, share (that which concerns a person with regard to a particular role or situation) "it requires vigilance on our part"; "they each did their share"
...
9. part, division, section (one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole) "the beginning of the broadcast"; "the written part of the exam"; "the finance section of the company"

Wait, "sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions". "part" as a component.
Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it". Examples: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself".
Could it be 1? Yes, "part of" in the sense of being included in something. "part of the strategic decisions".
Wait, sense 1 is `part, portion, component part, component, constituent`.
Sense 9 is `part, division, section`.
"the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions" -> component part. So Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"part of the strategic decisions" -> "strategic decisions" is an abstract concept or a set of things. "sporting spirit" is a component of it.
Sense 1 fits "component part".
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 9.
Sense 9 examples: "the written part of the exam", "the finance section of the company". These are divisions or sections.
Sense 1 examples: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself", "I read a portion of the manuscript", "the smaller component is hard to reach".
"part of the strategic decisions" -> component. Sense 1.

Let's check if there's any other sense.
"part" in "is part of" is almost always Sense 1 (component part, constituent) when referring to abstract inclusion.
"which is part of the strategic decisions" -> Sense 1.

I'll output 1.
End of thought.

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

Sentence: Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic <t>decisions</t> that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of making up your mind about something | examples=the burden of decision was his
2. definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition
3. definition=(boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred | examples=had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent
4. definition=the outcome of a game or contest | examples=the team dropped three decisions in a row
5. definition=the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose | examples=a man of unusual decisiveness

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic <t>decisions</t> that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
The word is "decisions".
The context is "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
This means choices or acts of making up one's mind about a strategy.
Let's check the senses:
1. the act of making up your mind about something
2. a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration
3. (boxing) a victory won on points
4. the outcome of a game or contest
5. the trait of resoluteness

Wait, "strategic decisions" -> choices made.
Sense 1: "the act of making up your mind about something" -> "the burden of decision was his". Often used as "making a decision".
Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" -> "a decision unfavorable to the opposition". Also "a choice or judgment made after consideration".
Actually, WordNet senses for "decision":
1. decision, determination, conclusion (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration) -> "a decision unfavorable to the opposition"
2. decision, determination (the act of making up your mind about something) -> "the burden of decision was his"
Wait, let's look at the given definitions:
1. definition=the act of making up your mind about something | examples=the burden of decision was his
2. definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | examples=a decision unfavorable to the opposition

In "strategic decisions", it refers to the choices/positions reached after consideration. Or is it the act?
Usually, plural "decisions" refers to the choices made (sense 1 in WordNet, which is sense 2 here? Let's check).
WordNet:
1. decision, determination, conclusion (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration) "a decision unfavorable to the opposition"; "he came to the conclusion that..."
2. decision, determination (the act of making up your mind about something) "the burden of decision was his"

Wait, "strategic decisions" means the choices made. So it aligns with "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" (i.e., the result of deciding).
Let's re-read carefully: "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages" -> the choices themselves.
Therefore, sense 2 (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration) fits better for plural "decisions" meaning "choices".
Wait, could it be 1? "act of making up your mind". "strategic acts of making up your mind"? No, "strategic choices" = positions/judgments reached.

Let's check if there's any other nuance.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.

"Decisions" in "strategic decisions" = choices. A choice is a position/judgment reached after consideration.
I will select 2.
Wait, let me double check WordNet synsets for "decision".
Synset 1: decision, determination, conclusion (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration)
Synset 2: decision, determination (the act of making up your mind about something)
Synset 3: decision ((boxing) a victory won on points...)
Synset 4: decision (the outcome of a game or contest)
Synset 5: decisiveness, decision (the trait of resoluteness...)

"strategic decisions" -> synset 1. So it corresponds to Sense 2 in the prompt (since the prompt lists Synset 2 as Sense 1 and Synset 1 as Sense 2? Let's check the prompt's order).
Prompt:
1. definition=the act of making up your mind about something (This is Synset 2)
2. definition=a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration (This is Synset 1)
Yes, the prompt swapped the order of 1 and 2 compared to WordNet, or just listed them differently.
So Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's confirm: "strategic decisions" -> choices made -> Synset 1 -> Sense 2 in the prompt.
Number to return: 2.
I'm confident in 2.

12. definition=measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the <t>rules</t>."
The word is "rules".
The context is "sporting spirit", "strategic decisions", "taking advantages allowed by the rules".
This clearly refers to the rules of a game or sport.
Looking at the senses:
1. principle or condition governing behavior
2. normative example
3. prescribed guide for conduct
4. linguistic rule
5. basic generalization
6. duration of monarch's power
7. dominance or power
8. directions that define the way a game or sport is to conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess
9. religious order rule
10. natural phenomenon rule
11. math rule
12. measuring stick

Sense 8 fits perfectly: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted".

Let me double check the exact wording.
"directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted" -> Sense 8.
The sentence mentions "sporting spirit" and "rules".
So the answer is 8.
End of thought.

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

Sentence: Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

Senses:
1. definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn | examples=on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play
2. definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted | examples=any society is built upon certain assumptions
3. definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something | examples=his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba
4. definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's being taken up into heaven when her earthly life ended; corresponds to the Dormition in the Eastern Orthodox Church
5. definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary when her earthly life had ended
6. definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to | examples=he despised them for their presumptuousness
7. definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted | examples=your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
Wait, looking at the context, "assumption" here refers to taking on a responsibility, obligation, or debt? Or maybe "assumption" as in "taking possession of or power over something" or "taking on a duty/obligation"?
Let's re-read the sentence carefully: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction... but rather chosen when to obey it."
Wait, "assumption" could mean the act of taking on an obligation or duty. Is that one of the senses?
Let's check the senses provided:
1. a statement that is assumed to be true
2. a hypothesis that is taken for granted
3. the act of taking possession of or power over something
4. celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...
5. (Christianity) the taking up of the body...
6. audacious behavior
7. the act of assuming or taking for granted

Wait, could it be sense 3? "the act of taking possession of or power over something" -> "assumption of office", "assumption of power", "assumption of debt/responsibility".
Let's check if there's any other sense. "assumption of an obligation".
In legal contexts, "assumption" often means taking on a debt or obligation. Sense 3 is "the act of taking possession of or power over something".
Wait, could it be sense 1 or 2? "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction... but rather chosen when to obey it." If it's a hypothesis, "chosen when to obey it" doesn't make sense. You obey a rule, a law, a sanction, or an obligation. You don't "obey" a hypothesis.
So "assumption" here must mean taking on an obligation or duty. The closest sense is 3: "the act of taking possession of or power over something" (which includes taking on a role, office, duty, or obligation).
Let's consider "assumption of risk", "assumption of debt". WordNet sense for "assumption": "the act of taking possession of or power over something" (e.g., his assumption of office). This covers taking on duties, obligations, etc.

Let's double check if there's any other meaning. "Regarding this assumption [of obligation/debt/responsibility], the players did not act..."
Yes, sense 3 is the only one that fits the non-cognitive meaning of "assumption" (i.e., not a belief or hypothesis, but an act of taking on something).

Let's review the senses again:
1. statement assumed to be true
2. hypothesis taken for granted
3. act of taking possession of or power over something (includes assumption of office, assumption of control, assumption of responsibility)
4. Catholic celebration
5. taking up of Mary
6. audacious behavior (presumption)
7. act of assuming or taking for granted (cognitive)

Therefore, it must be 3.

Let's read the sentence again: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
Wait, "assumption" could refer to "assumption of a contract" or "assumption of debt" in bankruptcy or corporate law. "The players" could refer to parties in a contract or a game theory scenario. "chosen when to obey it".
Whatever the exact legal context, it's definitely the "taking on" sense, which corresponds to sense 3.

Let's confirm WordNet synsets for "assumption":
1. premise, assumption (a statement that is assumed to be true...)
2. assumption (a hypothesis that is taken for granted...)
3. assumption, lay claim, arrogation (the act of taking possession of or power over something) -> "his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba"; "their assumption of control over the project"
4. Assumption (celebration...)
5. Assumption (taking up of body and soul...)
6. presumption, presumptuousness, effrontery, assumption (audacious behavior...)
7. assumption (the act of assuming or taking for granted) -> "your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted"

Yes, sense 3 is the correct WordNet synset for the non-cognitive "taking on" meaning of assumption.

I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Number: 3.

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

Sentence: Regarding this assumption, the <t>players</t> did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game
2. definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)
3. definition=a theatrical performer
4. definition=a person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously
5. definition=an important participant (as in a business deal) | examples=he was a major player in setting up the corporation

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Regarding this assumption, the <t>players</t> did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
The context talks about "players" acting to avoid the application of a sanction, legal fraud, etc. This implies a business, legal, or strategic context, where "players" refers to participants or important participants in a situation, deal, or market.
Looking at the senses:
1. game participant
2. musician
3. actor
4. sexual partner
5. important participant (as in a business deal)

Sense 5 fits best, as it refers to participants in a business, legal, or strategic context (e.g., market players, corporate players).

Let's double check. "players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction... legal fraud". This is definitely about entities/participants in a legal/business context. Sense 5: "an important participant (as in a business deal)".

Therefore, the correct sense is 5.
Wait, is there any other meaning? No.
I will return 5.

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

Sentence: Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the <t>application</t> of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose | examples=he advocated the application of statistics to the problem
2. definition=a verbal or written request for assistance or employment or admission to a school | examples=December 31 is the deadline for applications
3. definition=the work of applying something | examples=the doctor prescribed a topical application of iodine
4. definition=a program that gives a computer instructions that provide the user with tools to accomplish a task | examples=he has tried several different word processing applications
5. definition=liquid preparation having a soothing or antiseptic or medicinal action when applied to the skin | examples=a lotion for dry skin
6. definition=a diligent effort | examples=it is a job requiring serious application
7. definition=the action of putting something into operation | examples=the application of maximum thrust

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the <t>application</t> of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
The word "application" here refers to the enforcement or implementation of a sanction (a penalty or rule).
Let's look at the senses:
1. the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose (e.g., application of statistics)
2. a verbal or written request (e.g., job application)
3. the work of applying something (e.g., topical application)
4. a computer program
5. liquid preparation
6. a diligent effort
7. the action of putting something into operation (e.g., application of maximum thrust, application of a rule/sanction)

Wait, "application of the sanction" means putting the sanction into operation or effect.
Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation" | examples=the application of maximum thrust. Also, "application of a law/rule/sanction" fits "putting into operation".
Let's check Sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose".
Let's check WordNet synsets for "application":
1. application, practical application (the action of putting something into operation) -> "the application of maximum thrust", "the application of a rule"
Wait, WordNet synset for "application" (the action of putting something into operation): "the application of maximum thrust".
Another synset: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose" -> "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem".
In the context of "application of the sanction", it means putting the sanction into operation/enforcing it. This aligns with "the action of putting something into operation" (Sense 7) or "the act of bringing something to bear" (Sense 1).
Usually, "application of a law/sanction/rule" is "the action of putting something into operation" (Synset: application.n.01 or similar? Let's check WordNet).
WordNet:
application.n.01: the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose; "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem"; "friction is the application of force to a surface" -> Wait, no.
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions:
1. application, practical application: the action of putting something into operation; "the application of maximum thrust"; "maps have limited practical application" -> Wait.
Let's search for "the action of putting something into operation". WordNet: application (the action of putting something into operation) "the application of maximum thrust".
WordNet: application (the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose) "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem".
"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation. So Sense 7.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 7.
Sanctions are rules/penalties that are put into operation or enforced.
"putting something into operation" fits "sanction", "law", "rule".
Let's double check WordNet synsets:
S: (n) application (the action of putting something into operation) "the application of maximum thrust"
S: (n) application (the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose) "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem"
S: (n) application, lotion (liquid preparation...)
S: (n) application (a diligent effort)
S: (n) application (the work of applying something)
S: (n) application, computer application (a program...)
S: (n) application, candidacy, candidature (a verbal or written request...)

Is "application of a sanction" putting into operation? Yes.
Therefore, Sense 7 is the best fit.
Let's review Sense 7: definition=the action of putting something into operation | examples=the application of maximum thrust.
Sentence: "...avoid the application of the sanction..."
Number: 7.
Wait, could it be 1? "bringing something to bear". "application of force", "application of statistics".
"application of a sanction" -> putting a sanction into effect/operation. Sense 7 seems more appropriate for rules, laws, sanctions, thrust, etc.
I will output 7.
