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

Sentence: Second, it <t>explains</t> why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=make plain and comprehensible | examples=He explained the laws of physics to his students
2. definition=define | examples=The committee explained their plan for fund-raising to the Dean
3. definition=serve as a reason or cause or justification of | examples=Your need to sleep late does not excuse your late arrival at work

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Second, it <t>explains</t> why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives..."
The word is "explains".
The sense choices are:
1. make plain and comprehensible
2. define
3. serve as a reason or cause or justification of

In the sentence, "it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain..." means "it provides the reason/cause for why voters hold Congress in disdain".
Sense 3: serve as a reason or cause or justification of. Wait, WordNet sense for "explain" (or "account for"? No, "explain" sense 3 is "serve as a reason or cause or justification of" -> "Your need to sleep late does not excuse your late arrival at work" - wait, the example is for "excuse" or "explain"? WordNet: explain, excuse, justify - serve as a reason or cause or justification of.
Let's check the WordNet senses for "explain":
1. explain, explicate: make plain and comprehensible. "He explained the laws of physics to his students."
2. explain, define: define. "The committee explained their plan for fund-raising to the Dean."
3. explain, excuse, justify: serve as a reason or cause or justification of. "Your need to sleep late does not excuse your late arrival at work" (Wait, the example uses 'excuse', but the synset is explain, excuse, justify).

In the sentence, "it explains why..." -> it provides the reason/cause for why...
So it matches sense 3.
Let's double check. Does it mean "make plain and comprehensible"? "It makes plain and comprehensible why voters..." No, "it serves as a reason/cause for why voters...". Actually, "explains why" usually maps to the "account for" or "serve as a reason" sense.
Wait, "explain" in "The theory explains why..." -> serves as a reason/cause.
Yes, sense 3.

Let's review the senses:
1. make plain and comprehensible
2. define
3. serve as a reason or cause or justification of

Sentence: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain..."
"it" refers to a theory, phenomenon, or fact that acts as the cause/reason.
Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.
I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Number: 3.

The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters <t>hold</t> Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives..."
The word is "hold".
The phrase is "hold [someone/something] in disdain".
This means to regard or consider someone/something with disdain, to have a certain opinion or feeling about them.
Looking at the senses:
1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity
2. have or hold in one's hands
3. organize
4. have or possess
5. keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view (e.g., take for granted, hold in high regard, hold in disdain)
6. maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings) (e.g., bear a grudge)
Let's check WordNet senses for "hold".
"hold in disdain" -> regard, consider.
Sense 5: keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view; "take for granted", "hold it true". Wait, "hold in contempt", "hold in high esteem".
Let's check Sense 5 vs Sense 6.
Sense 5: keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view. Examples: take for granted. Synonyms: hold.
Sense 6: maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings). Examples: bear a grudge, harbor a resentment, entertain thoughts. Synonyms: harbor, harbour, hold.
"hold in disdain" -> to hold someone in disdain is to regard them with disdain.
Wait, WordNet sense for "hold" (verb):
- hold, deem, take for: keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view; "take for granted", "hold it true".
- harbor, harbour, hold: maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings); "bear a grudge", "harbor a resentment".
- hold, consider, take: keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view.
Wait, "hold in disdain" is often mapped to "hold" as in "consider" or "regard".
Is there a sense "hold" -> "keep in a certain state, position, or activity"? (e.g., hold in contempt? No, hold in contempt is consider).
Let's search for "hold in disdain" WordNet.
Actually, WordNet 3.0:
hold, consider, take - keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view; "take for granted", "hold it true" (this is sense 5 here).
Wait, "hold" as in "hold someone in high regard" -> hold, consider, take.
Let's look at the given definition 5: "keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view | examples=take for granted"
Definition 6: "maintain (a theory, thoughts, or feelings) | examples=bear a grudge"
"voters hold Congress in disdain" -> they consider Congress with disdain. So 5 is the best fit.

Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"hold in disdain" -> hold (verb) - keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view.
Yes, "hold in high esteem", "hold in contempt", "hold in disdain" all fall under "hold, consider, take" -> keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view.

Let's confirm Sense 5.
WordNet:
hold, consider, take
keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view
"take for granted"; "hold it true"

Sense 5 matches perfectly.

Wait, is "hold" in "hold in disdain" considered "maintain (a feeling)"? "bear a grudge" is harbor. "hold a grudge" is harbor. But "hold in disdain" is "consider". You consider someone to be disdainful / consider them with disdain.
Therefore, Sense 5.
Let's check Sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., keep clean". This is "keep".
Sense 5 is definitely "hold, consider, take".

I will output 5.
Checking if any other sense applies.
"hold Congress in disdain" -> hold = consider.
Sense 5: definition=keep in mind or convey as a conviction or view
Yes, 5.

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

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally <t>love</t> their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=have a great affection or liking for | examples=I love French food
2. definition=get pleasure from | examples=I love cooking
3. definition=be enamored or in love with | examples=She loves her husband deeply
4. definition=have sexual intercourse with | examples=This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally <t>love</t> their own congressional representatives..."
The word is "love".
Senses:
1. have a great affection or liking for (I love French food)
2. get pleasure from (I love cooking)
3. be enamored or in love with (She loves her husband deeply)
4. have sexual intercourse with (This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm)

Voters "love" their own congressional representatives. This means they have a great affection or liking for them, or approve of them. It doesn't mean they get pleasure from the act of them, aren't romantically in love with them, or have sexual intercourse with them.
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate. "have a great affection or liking for".
Wait, does it mean "like" as in "I love French food"? Yes, it's a strong liking or approval.

Let's double check.
Voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own representatives.
Sense 1: have a great affection or liking for.
Sense 2: get pleasure from.
Sense 3: be enamored or in love with.

Sense 1 fits best.

Number: 1.

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

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional <t>representatives</t>: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who represents others
2. definition=an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose | examples=the meeting was attended by spokespersons for all the major organs of government
3. definition=a member of the United States House of Representatives
4. definition=an item of information that is typical of a class or group | examples=this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the sense of the word "representatives" used in the provided sentence.
Sentence: "...generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents..."
The word "representatives" refers to members of the US House of Representatives, or at least members of a legislative body (specifically, congressional representatives).
Let's look at the senses:
1. a person who represents others
2. an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose
3. a member of the United States House of Representatives
4. an item of information that is typical of a class or group

"congressional representatives" refers to members of the US House of Representatives (or Congress in general, but specifically the House is often called Representatives, and "congressional representatives" fits sense 3 perfectly).
Wait, "congressional representatives" -> "member of the United States House of Representatives".
Let's double check. Sense 3 is "a member of the United States House of Representatives".
Sense 1 is "a person who represents others".
In the context of "congressional representatives", it specifically means members of the House of Representatives.
Therefore, sense 3 is the most accurate.

Wait, is "congressional representative" specifically a member of the House? Yes, members of the House are called Representatives, while members of the Senate are Senators. "Congressional representatives" is a slight redundancy or specifically refers to House members, or just representatives in Congress. WordNet sense for "Representative" (member of the United States House of Representatives) fits "congressional representatives".

Let's check the WordNet synsets for "representative":
1. representative (a person who represents others)
2. spokesperson, interpreter, representative, voice (an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose)
3. Representative (a member of the United States House of Representatives)
4. exemplar, example, good example, instance, representative (an item of information that is typical of a class or group)

The sentence uses "congressional representatives". "Representative" capitalized is a member of the US House of Representatives.
So Sense 3 is correct.
Let's confirm if it could be 1. "a person who represents others". While true, 3 is more specific and fits "congressional".
Actually, WordNet often has "Representative" as sense 3.
I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity.
Number: 3.

1. definition=being or characteristic of a single thing or person | examples=individual drops of rain
2. definition=separate and distinct from others of the same kind | examples=mark the individual pages

Sentence: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any <t>individual</t> legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

Senses:
1. being or characteristic of a single thing or person | examples=individual drops of rain
2. separate and distinct from others of the same kind | examples=mark the individual pages
3. characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing | examples=an individual serving
4. concerning one person exclusively | examples=we all have individual cars

In the sentence, "individual legislator" refers to a single legislator, considered separately from the group (Congress). Wait, "Any individual legislator" means "any single legislator".
Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: "being or characteristic of a single thing or person" -> individual drops of rain, individual legislator (a single legislator).
Sense 2: "separate and distinct from others of the same kind" -> individual pages.
Sense 3: "characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing" -> individual serving.
Sense 4: "concerning one person exclusively" -> individual cars.

"Any individual legislator" -> "any single legislator".
Sense 1 fits best: "being or characteristic of a single thing or person".
Wait, WordNet senses for "individual" (adjective):
1. individual, single (being or characteristic of a single thing or person) "individual flowers" "individual drops of rain"
2. individual, separate (separate and distinct from others of the same kind) "mark the individual pages"
3. individual (characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing) "an individual serving"
4. individual (concerning one person exclusively) "we all have individual cars" "individual rooms"

"individual legislator" means a single legislator. Thus Sense 1.

Let's double check.
"Any individual legislator's constituents" -> "Any single legislator's constituents".
Sense 1: being or characteristic of a single thing or person.

Could it be Sense 2? "separate and distinct from others of the same kind".
"individual pages" - each page is separate.
"individual legislator" - a single legislator (as opposed to the collective Congress).
Usually, "individual" + noun (person) = single person. Sense 1.
Let's confirm WordNet examples for Sense 1: "individual drops of rain", "individual flowers".
Sense 1 is the most standard for "a single [noun]".

I will output 1.

3. something determined in relation to something that includes it
4. (grammar) a word or phrase or clause...
5. an abstract part of something

In the sentence, "constituents" refers to the voters/citizens represented by the legislator.
This matches Sense 2: "a member of a constituency; a citizen who is represented in a government by officials for whom he or she votes".

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents <t>appreciate</t> the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

Senses of "appreciate":
1. recognize with gratitude; be grateful for
2. be fully aware of; realize fully
3. hold dear
4. gain in value
5. increase the value of

In the sentence, constituents "appreciate" the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them. This means they recognize them with gratitude or are grateful for them.
Let's check sense 1: recognize with gratitude; be grateful for.
Let's check sense 2: be fully aware of; realize fully. "appreciate the specific benefits" -> they are grateful for the benefits.
Wait, "appreciate" as in "value" or "be grateful for". Sense 1 fits perfectly.

Let's double check.
"constituents appreciate the specific benefits" -> they are grateful for the benefits.
Sense 1: recognize with gratitude; be grateful for.
Sense 2: be fully aware of; realize fully (e.g., appreciate the full meaning).
Sense 3: hold dear (e.g., prize these old photographs).

Clearly Sense 1.

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the <t>specific</t> benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=(sometimes followed by `to') applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique | examples=rules with specific application
2. definition=stated explicitly or in detail | examples=needed a specific amount
3. definition=relating to or distinguishing or constituting a taxonomic species | examples=specific characters

The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the <t>specific</t> benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

The word is "specific".
Senses:
1. applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique (e.g., rules with specific application)
2. stated explicitly or in detail (e.g., needed a specific amount)
3. relating to or distinguishing or constituting a taxonomic species
4. being or affecting a disease produced by a particular microorganism...

In the sentence, "specific benefits" refers to benefits that are particular or special to the constituents (pork barrel spending, particular to their district), as opposed to general benefits.
Sense 1: "applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique". This matches "specific benefits" (benefits particular to them).
Wait, could it be Sense 2? "stated explicitly or in detail". No, it's not about being explicit. It's about being particular to a specific group (the constituents).
Let's check Sense 1 again: "particular or special or unique". "Specific benefits" = particular benefits.

Let's look at WordNet senses for "specific":
1. specific (sometimes followed by `to') applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique; "rules with specific application"; "demands specific to the job"; "a specific and detailed account of the accident" -> Wait, the example "a specific and detailed account" is in sense 1 or 2?
Actually, WordNet:
Sense 1: applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique.
Sense 2: stated explicitly or in detail. "needed a specific amount".
Sense 3: relating to or distinguishing or constituting a taxonomic species.
Sense 4: being or affecting a disease...

In "specific benefits", it means benefits that are particular to them (as opposed to general/public benefits). This aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (particular or special).

Let's double check.
"specific benefits" -> particular benefits. Sense 1.

I will return 1.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "benefit" as used in the provided sentence.
The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific <t>benefits</t> that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

The senses provided are:

2. something that aids or promotes well-being (e.g., for the benefit of all)
3. a performance to raise money for a charitable cause (e.g., a benefit concert)

In the sentence, "benefits" refers to the specific advantages, projects, or funds (pork barrel) that a legislator brings to their constituency, which aids or promotes their well-being. It does not strictly mean "financial assistance in time of need" (like welfare or unemployment benefits), nor does it mean a charitable performance.
Therefore, sense 2 is the correct one.

Let's double check.
"specific benefits that the legislator wins for them" -> advantages, good things, something that aids or promotes well-being.
Sense 2: something that aids or promotes well-being.

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator <t>wins</t> for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=be the winner in a contest or competition; be victorious | examples=He won the Gold Medal in skating
2. definition=win something through one's efforts | examples=I acquired a passing knowledge of Chinese
3. definition=obtain advantages, such as points, etc. | examples=The home team was gaining ground
4. definition=attain success or reach a desired goal | examples=The enterprise succeeded

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator <t>wins</t> for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

The word "wins" here means to obtain or acquire something through effort (the legislator wins specific benefits for their constituents).
Let's look at the senses:
1. be the winner in a contest or competition
2. win something through one's efforts (acquire, gain)
3. obtain advantages, such as points, etc. (gain ground)
4. attain success or reach a desired goal (succeed)

Sense 2 fits best: "win something through one's efforts" (e.g., acquire, gain). The legislator acquires/wins benefits for the constituents through their efforts.
Wait, let's check WordNet senses for "win".
Sense 1: win (be the winner in a contest or competition; be victorious) "He won the Gold Medal in skating"
Sense 2: win, acquire (win something through one's efforts) "I acquired a passing knowledge of Chinese"; "win a reputation"
Sense 3: gain, win (obtain advantages, such as points, etc.) "The home team was gaining ground"
Sense 4: succeed, win, come through (attain success or reach a desired goal) "The enterprise succeeded"

In the sentence, "wins" takes a direct object "specific benefits" and a prepositional phrase "for them". "wins specific benefits for them" -> acquires specific benefits for them through effort.
So Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check.
Sense 2 definition: win something through one's efforts. Examples: I acquired a passing knowledge of Chinese. (Synonyms: acquire).
Yes, "win benefits" = acquire benefits.

Let's confirm if it could be 1. No contest mentioned.
Could it be 3? "obtain advantages, such as points". Not really, it's about acquiring benefits.
Could it be 4? Intransitive usually, or "win the day". Here it's transitive "wins [benefits]".

Therefore, Sense 2.
Number: 2.
Return only the number.

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

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the <t>overall</t> cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=involving only main features | examples=the overall pattern of his life
2. definition=including everything | examples=the overall cost

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "overall" as used in the provided sentence.
Sentence: "...but not the <t>overall</t> cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise..."

Senses:
1. involving only main features (e.g., the overall pattern of his life)
2. including everything (e.g., the overall cost)

In the sentence, "overall cost" refers to the total cost including everything (all the specific benefits/costs combined).
Sense 2 explicitly has the example "the overall cost".

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
Double check:
"overall cost" -> total cost, including everything.
Sense 2: definition=including everything | examples=the overall cost.

Match is exact.
Return only the number: 2.

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

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall <t>cost</t> associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor
2. definition=the property of having material worth (often indicated by the amount of money something would bring if sold) | examples=the fluctuating monetary value of gold and silver
3. definition=value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something | examples=the cost in human life was enormous

reasoning_content:
The sentence discusses the "overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."
Here, "cost" refers to the negative consequences, the price paid (in terms of money, resources, or overall burden on the system/taxpayers) to obtain the specific benefits for individual constituencies.
Let's look at the senses:
1. the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor
2. the property of having material worth (value)
3. value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something (e.g., the cost in human life, the overall cost to society).

Wait, the "overall cost" here means the price paid by the country/taxpayers as a whole for the pork-barrel spending.
Sense 1: "the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor" - this is more like the expense of a project.
Sense 3: "value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something" - "the cost in human life was enormous", "at the cost of his own life", "the overall cost associated with...".
Let's re-read carefully.
Sentence: "...appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise..."
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
Sense 1: total spent for goods or services.
Sense 3: value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something.

Actually, WordNet sense for "cost":
1. cost, monetary value, price (the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor)
2. price, cost, toll (value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something) "the cost in human life was enormous"; "the price of success is hard work"
3. cost, price (the property of having material worth (often indicated by the amount of money something would bring if sold)) "the fluctuating monetary value of gold and silver"

Wait, in the sentence, "overall cost" refers to the money spent (taxpayer money) for the pork barrel projects. So it's the total spent for goods/services? Or is it the price paid (sense 2/3)?
"appreciate the specific benefits... but not the overall cost associated with..."
Usually, when talking about government spending and the burden on taxpayers, it's the monetary cost (Sense 1: total spent).
Wait, "cost" as in "the cost of the project".
Let's consider "the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise". The "doing likewise" refers to winning specific benefits (pork barrel spending). The cost of this spending is the money spent. So it's the total spent (Sense 1).
Wait, could it be Sense 3 (WordNet sense 2: price, cost, toll)? "value measured by what must be given...".
Let's check the exact definition of WordNet senses.
Sense 1: cost, monetary value, price - the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor.
Sense 2: price, cost, toll - value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something.
Sense 3: cost, price - the property of having material worth.

In the sentence, "overall cost" means the total monetary expenditure (or burden) resulting from all legislators bringing home the bacon. Since it's about government spending (money), Sense 1 (total spent for goods or services including money...) fits best. "cost" here is synonymous with "expense" or "expenditure".

Let's rethink: "the overall cost associated with every other legislator doing likewise".
Is it Sense 1? Yes, it's about the financial cost (money spent).

Let's double check if it could be 3 (which corresponds to WordNet sense 2: price, cost, toll). "the cost in human life", "the price of success". Here, the cost is literal money spent on constituencies. So Sense 1 is much more appropriate.

Let's review the options.
1. definition=the total spent for goods or services including money and time and labor
2. definition=the property of having material worth...
3. definition=value measured by what must be given or done or undergone to obtain something...

"overall cost" = total money spent. Sense 1.
I will return 1.

The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every <t>other</t> legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."

The word "other" in the sentence refers to "every other legislator", meaning the legislators not already mentioned (the individual legislator).
This matches sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied".

Sense 1: not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied
Sense 2: recently past
Sense 3: belonging to the distant past
Sense 4: very unusual; different in character or quality

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Sentence: Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator <t>doing</t> likewise for his own constituency.

Senses:
1. definition=engage in | examples=make love, not war

12. definition=arrange attractively | examples=dress my hair for the wedding
13. definition=travel or traverse (a distance) | examples=This car does 150 miles per hour

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Second, it explains why voters hold Congress in disdain but generally love their own congressional representatives: Any individual legislator's constituents appreciate the specific benefits that the legislator wins for them but not the overall cost associated with every other legislator <t>doing</t> likewise for his own constituency."
The word is "doing".
Context: "...every other legislator doing likewise for his own constituency."
Meaning: carrying out the same action (winning specific benefits for their own constituency).
Let's check the senses:
1. engage in (make love, not war)
2. carry out or perform an action (John did the painting...)
3. get (something) done (I did my job)
4. proceed or get along
5. give rise to
6. carry out or practice (jobs/professions)
7. be sufficient
8. create or design
9. behave in a certain manner
10. spend time in prison
11. carry on or function
12. arrange attractively
13. travel or traverse

"doing likewise" -> carrying out or performing an action.
Sense 2: carry out or perform an action.
Let's double check.
"doing likewise" means performing the same action.
Sense 2 fits best. "carry out or perform an action".

Let's look at Sense 1: engage in.
Sense 2: carry out or perform an action.
"doing likewise" = performing the same action.

Wait, is "do" in "doing likewise" sense 2? Yes, "carry out or perform an action".
Could it be 9? "behave in a certain manner". No.
Could it be 6? "carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions". No.

Let's review Sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" - "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters".
Sentence: "...every other legislator doing likewise..."
Likewise refers to "wins for them" (winning specific benefits). So it's performing an action.
Therefore, Sense 2.
I will return 2.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory <t>suggests</t> why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

2. definition=drop a hint; intimate by a hint
3. definition=imply as a possibility | examples=The evidence suggests a need for more clarification
4. definition=suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine | examples=Tetracycline is indicated in such cases
5. definition=call to mind | examples=this remark evoked sadness

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory <t>suggests</t> why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word is "suggests".
The subject is "the theory".
The theory suggests why... -> implies as a possibility, or proposes, or shows.
Let's look at the senses:
1. make a proposal, declare a plan for something (e.g., the senator proposed...) -> No, a theory doesn't make a proposal.
2. drop a hint; intimate by a hint -> No.
3. imply as a possibility (e.g., The evidence suggests a need for more clarification) -> Yes, a theory suggests (implies, posits, indicates) why...
4. suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine -> No.
5. call to mind -> No.

Therefore, sense 3 is the correct one.
Let's double check. "The evidence suggests..." vs "The theory suggests...". Both are abstract subjects presenting a conclusion or implication. Sense 3 fits perfectly.
Number: 3.
There is no ambiguity.
I will return 3.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to <t>national</t> policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country | examples=national hero
2. definition=limited to or in the interests of a particular nation | examples=national interests
3. definition=concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country | examples=the national government
4. definition=owned or maintained for the public by the national government | examples=national parks
5. definition=inside the country | examples=the British Home Office has broader responsibilities than the United States Department of the Interior
6. definition=characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation | examples=a national trait
7. definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to <t>national</t> policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word "national" is used in contrast to "local".
"national policy making" vs "local benefit-seeking".
Senses:
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country (e.g., the national government)
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government
5. inside the country
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation
7. of or relating to nationality

"national policy making" refers to policy making for the entire nation, as opposed to local (district-level) benefit-seeking.
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" fits perfectly. "the national government", "national policy".
Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
Sense 1: "national hero"
Sense 3: "the national government" - national policy making.
"national" modifying "policy making" implies policy making for the entire nation.
Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.
Another look at the exact definitions from WordNet:
1. national: of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country; "national hero"
2. national: limited to or in the interests of a particular nation; "national interests"
3. national: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country; "the national government"
4. national: owned or maintained for the public by the national government; "national parks"
5. national: inside the country; "the British Home Office has broader responsibilities than the United States Department of the Interior" -> wait, the example for 5 is weird, maybe "domestic" vs "foreign".
6. national: characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation; "a national trait"
7. national: of or relating to nationality; "national origin"

"national policy making" -> concerned with the entire nation. Sense 3.
Let's confirm if it could be 1. "national policy" is often associated with sense 3.
I will output 3.
There is a clear contrast between "national" (entire country) and "local" (specific area). Sense 3 explicitly includes "entire nation or country".
Number: 3.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national <t>policy</t> making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

Senses:
1. definition=a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group | examples=it was a policy of retribution
2. definition=a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government | examples=they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation
3. definition=written contract or certificate of insurance | examples=you should have read the small print on your policy

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national <t>policy</t> making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word is "policy".
Sense 1: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group (e.g., it was a policy of retribution)
Sense 2: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government (e.g., they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation)
Sense 3: written contract or certificate of insurance (e.g., you should have read the small print on your policy)

Wait, "national policy making" refers to the government's plan of action or course of action.
Let's check WordNet senses for "policy".
Sense 1: policy, doctrine (a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group) "it was a policy of retribution"
Sense 2: policy (a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government) "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation"
Sense 3: policy, insurance policy, policy of insurance (written contract or certificate of insurance)

In "national policy making", "policy" usually means a plan of action (Sense 1) or government course of action (Sense 2)?
Wait, "national policy making" -> making policies.
Let's look at the examples. Sense 2 is specifically "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". That's a very specific and somewhat rare sense (policy vs impolicy).
Sense 1 is "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group". Government policy making usually falls under Sense 1 in WordNet, or maybe Sense 2?
Wait, WordNet 3.1:
1. policy, doctrine (a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group) "it was a policy of retribution"
2. policy (a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government) "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation"
Actually, in WordNet, "foreign policy", "public policy" might be under Sense 1 or another sense. Let's think if Sense 1 is the general "plan of action". "national policy making" is making plans of action.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2. Sense 2 is "a line of argument...". "Policy making" is not making a line of argument, it's making a plan of action. So Sense 1 is much more appropriate.

Let's double check.
WordNet:
policy (noun)
1. policy, doctrine - a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group; "it was a policy of retribution"
2. policy - a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government; "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation"
3. policy, insurance policy, policy of insurance - written contract or certificate of insurance; "you should have read the small print on your policy"

"national policy making" -> making plans of action. Thus, Sense 1.

Let's confirm if "national policy" could be Sense 1. Yes, "social group" includes government, or it's just the general sense of policy as a plan.
I will return 1.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy <t>making</t> relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

Senses:
1. definition=the act that results in something coming to be | examples=the devising of plans
2. definition=an attribute that must be met or complied with and that fits a person for something | examples=her qualifications for the job are excellent
3. definition=(usually plural) the components needed for making or doing something | examples=the recipe listed all the makings for a chocolate cake

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy <t>making</t> relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word is "making" as in "policy making".
Sense 1: the act that results in something coming to be | examples=the devising of plans
Sense 2: an attribute that must be met or complied with...
Sense 3: (usually plural) the components needed for making or doing something...

"policy making" refers to the act of making policy (the act that results in something coming to be, or the process of devising plans/policies).
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.
Let's double check.
"making" in "policy making" -> the act of making.
Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Sense 2 is "makings" as in "he has the makings of a great leader".
Sense 3 is "makings" as in "the makings of a salad".

So it is Sense 1.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making <t>relative</t> to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

Senses:
1. definition=estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete | examples=a relative stranger
2. definition=properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to' | examples=the punishment ought to be proportional to the crime

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making <t>relative</t> to local benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word "relative" is used in the phrase "relative to".
Sense 1: estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete (e.g., a relative stranger).
Sense 2: properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to' (e.g., the punishment ought to be proportional to the crime). Wait, "relative to" meaning "in comparison with" or "proportional to". Let's check WordNet senses for "relative".
WordNet adjective "relative":
1. relative (not absolute or complete) "a relative stranger"
2. relative, comparative (estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete) "a relative stranger" -> wait.
Let's look at the given definitions:
1. definition=estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete | examples=a relative stranger
2. definition=properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to' | examples=the punishment ought to be proportional to the crime -> wait, the synonym is "proportional". "relative to" in the sentence means "in comparison to" or "in proportion to".
Wait, the phrase is "relative to local benefit-seeking".
Is it sense 2? "properly related in size or degree... usually followed by 'to'".
Let's re-read the sentence: "attention to X relative to Y". This means the proportion of attention to X compared to Y.
Wait, "relative" as an adjective in "relative to" often maps to the sense "properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to'". Synonyms: proportional, relative.
Let's check if there's another sense. "having relation or reference to" (e.g., facts relative to the issue).
But the given senses are only 1 and 2.
Sense 1: estimated by comparison; not absolute or complete (a relative stranger).
Sense 2: properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to' (proportional).
In the sentence, "too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking" means the amount of attention to national policy making is not properly related (it's too much) in proportion to local benefit-seeking. So it uses the "relative to" sense, which is Sense 2.
Wait, "relative to" here means "in comparison with". Does Sense 2 cover "in comparison with"? "properly related in size or degree...". "too much ... relative to" implies a comparison of degree.
Let's consider Sense 2.

Let's double check.
"relative to" -> Sense 2: properly related in size or degree or other measurable characteristics; usually followed by `to'.
Example: "the punishment ought to be proportional to the crime". "proportional" is a synonym for this sense of "relative".
Sentence: "...attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking..."
Yes, it's comparing the degree of attention. Sense 2 fits perfectly.

Let's confirm Sense 1: "a relative stranger". This means "comparatively".
In the sentence, "relative" is followed by "to", which matches Sense 2's "usually followed by `to'".

Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct answer.
Number: 2.
I will return 2.

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

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to <t>local</t> benefit-seeking have lower security in office.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area | examples=local taxes
2. definition=of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood | examples=local customs
3. definition=affecting only a restricted part or area of the body | examples=local anesthesia

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to <t>local</t> benefit-seeking have lower security in office."
The word "local" is used in contrast to "national".
Sense 1: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area.
Sense 2: of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood.
Sense 3: affecting only a restricted part or area of the body.

In the context of "legislators", "national policy making" vs "local benefit-seeking" (pork barrel politics, bringing benefits to their local district).
Sense 1 mentions "administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". This perfectly matches the political context of "local" vs "national".
Wait, does it mean Sense 1 or Sense 2?
"local benefit-seeking" -> seeking benefits for their district.
Sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area"
Sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood" (e.g., local customs)
Sense 1 explicitly mentions "district rather than a larger area", which contrasts with "national".
Let's double check WordNet definitions.
WordNet "local" (adjective):
1. local: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area; "local taxes"; "local authorities"
2. local, local anesthetic, local anaesthetic: affecting only a restricted part or area of the body; "local anesthesia"
3. local: of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood; "local customs"; "local schools"; "the local citizens"; "a local point of view"; "local outbreak of flu"; "a local bus line"

Wait, "local benefit-seeking" refers to benefits for a specific district, which is a political/administrative context. Sense 1 fits best because of "district rather than a larger area" contrasting with "national".
Let's re-read Sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area"
Actually, in politics, "local" vs "national" is exactly Sense 1.

Let's check if there is any other interpretation. "local benefit-seeking" means seeking benefits for the local district. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's review Sense 1 vs Sense 2 again.
Sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area | examples=local taxes"
Sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood | examples=local customs"

"local benefit-seeking" by legislators is about getting federal funds for their district. So it's about the district rather than a larger area (national). Sense 1.
I will return 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking <t>have</t> lower security in office."
The word is "have".
The context is "have lower security in office".
Security in office is an abstract possession or a feature/attribute.
Let's look at the senses:
1. have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense (She has $1,000 in the bank)
2. have as a feature (This restaurant features...)

"have lower security" -> possess in an abstract sense.
Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense".
Is it Sense 1? Yes, security is an abstract concept that they possess.

Let's check Sense 2: "have as a feature". Security in office is not exactly a feature like "This restaurant features...".
Sense 1 fits best for abstract possession. "have lower security" = possess lower security.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "have".
Sense 1: have, hold (have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense) "She has $1,000 in the bank"; "He has got two beautiful daughters"; "She has got a Master's degree in English".
Sense 2: have, feature (have as a feature) "This restaurant features the most famous chefs in France".
Sense 3: get, have (go through (mental or physical states or experiences)) "get an idea"; "have a vision".
Sense 4: own, have, possess (have ownership or possession of) "He owns three houses in Florida".

"have lower security" -> possess (abstract). So Sense 1.
Let's confirm.
"legislators ... have lower security"
Security is an abstract property/possession.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will return 1.

Sentence: Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in <t>office</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=place of business where professional or clerical duties are performed | examples=he rented an office in the new building
2. definition=an administrative unit of government | examples=the Central Intelligence Agency
3. definition=the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group | examples=the function of a teacher
4. definition=(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power | examples=being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage

6. definition=a religious rite or service prescribed by ecclesiastical authorities | examples=the offices of the mass

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Third, the theory suggests why legislators who pay too much attention to national policy making relative to local benefit-seeking have lower security in <t>office</t>."
The word "office" here refers to the position of power or the elected position held by the legislators. "security in office" means the likelihood of remaining in their elected position / holding power.
Let's check the senses:
1. place of business
2. administrative unit of government
3. actions and activities assigned
4. (of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power | examples=being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage
5. professional or clerical workers
6. religious rite
7. a job in an organization

Sense 4 specifically mentions "(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power" and "being in office". "Security in office" perfectly aligns with Sense 4 (holding an office / being in power / being in office).
Wait, could it be 7 (a job in an organization)? Sense 4 is more specific to government officials and "being in office". "security in office" is a standard political science phrase referring to holding the elected position (being in power/office).
Let's re-read Sense 4: "definition=(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power | examples=being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage"
Sentence: "...legislators... have lower security in office."
This matches Sense 4.

Let's double check.
Sense 4: holding an office means being in power.
Sense 7: a job in an organization.
"security in office" -> "in office" is the phrase. Sense 4's example is "being in office".
Therefore, Sense 4 is the correct choice.
The number is 4.
I will return 4.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "For example, first-term - term <t>members</t> of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat."
The word is "members".
Context: "members of the House" refers to the people who are part of the House of Representatives.
Sense 1: one of the persons who compose a social group (especially individuals who have joined and participate in a group organization).
Sense 2: anything that belongs to a set or class.
Sense 3: an external body part.
Sense 4: an organization that is a member of another organization.

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

Sentence: For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most <t>vulnerable</t> of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat.

Senses:
1. definition=susceptible to attack | examples=a vulnerable bridge
2. definition=susceptible to criticism or persuasion or temptation | examples=vulnerable to bribery
3. definition=capable of being wounded or hurt | examples=vulnerable parts of the body

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most <t>vulnerable</t> of incumbents, have become virtually immune to defeat."
The word "vulnerable" here means susceptible to being defeated (attacked politically).
Let's look at the senses:
1. susceptible to attack (a vulnerable bridge) -> In politics, an incumbent is vulnerable to attack/defeat by an opponent.
2. susceptible to criticism or persuasion or temptation (vulnerable to bribery)
3. capable of being wounded or hurt (vulnerable parts of the body)

Sense 1 fits best, as "immune to defeat" contrasts with "vulnerable [to defeat/attack]". In political contexts, a vulnerable incumbent is one susceptible to being defeated (attacked).
Wait, "susceptible to attack" is sense 1.
Let's double check WordNet senses for vulnerable.
Sense 1: susceptible to attack; "a vulnerable bridge"
Sense 2: susceptible to criticism or persuasion or temptation; "vulnerable to bribery"
Sense 3: capable of being wounded or hurt; "vulnerable parts of the body"

In the context of elections, "vulnerable" means susceptible to attack (by opponents) or defeat. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's confirm: "immune to defeat" -> "defeat" is a form of attack in a campaign. "vulnerable to attack" matches sense 1.

Return only the number.

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

Sentence: For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have <t>become</t> virtually immune to defeat.

Senses:
1. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news
2. definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice
3. definition=come into existence | examples=What becomes has duration
4. definition=enhance the appearance of | examples=Mourning becomes Electra

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have <t>become</t> virtually immune to defeat."
The word is "become".
The context is "have become virtually immune to defeat". This means they entered or assumed a certain state or condition (immune to defeat).
Let's check the senses:
1. enter or assume a certain state or condition (He became annoyed...)
2. undergo a change or development (The water turned into ice - wait, "turn into" is usually sense 2, but "become immune" is entering a state). Let's check WordNet senses for "become".
WordNet senses for become:
1. become, go, get (enter or assume a certain state or condition) "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news"; "It must be getting more serious"; "her face went red with anger"; "She went into ecstasy"; "Get going!"
2. become, turn (undergo a change or development) "The water turned into ice"; "Her former friend became her worst enemy"; "He turned traitor"
3. become (come into existence) "What becomes has duration"
4. become, suit, befit (enhance the appearance of) "Mourning becomes Electra"; "This behavior doesn't suit you!"

In the sentence, "have become virtually immune to defeat". "immune" is an adjective describing a state or condition.
Sense 1: enter or assume a certain state or condition. Examples: He became annoyed...
Sense 2: undergo a change or development. Examples: The water turned into ice. (Wait, the example for sense 2 uses "turned", but the lemma is "become, turn").
Actually, "become immune" fits "enter or assume a certain state or condition" perfectly. "Immune" is a state.
Let's double check.
"first-term members... have become virtually immune" -> they entered the state of being immune.
Therefore, sense 1.

Let's review the exact definitions.
Sense 1: enter or assume a certain state or condition.
Sense 2: undergo a change or development.
"become immune" -> assume a condition. So 1.

Is there any ambiguity? "undergo a change or development" could also apply, but "enter or assume a certain state or condition" is the standard sense for become + adjective (became annoyed, became immune).
I will output 1.
End of thought.

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

Sentence: For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually <t>immune</t> to defeat.

Senses:
1. definition=relating to the condition of immunity | examples=the immune system
2. definition=secure against | examples=immune from taxation as long as he resided in Bermuda
3. definition=relating to or conferring immunity (to disease or infection)
4. definition=(usually followed by `to') not affected by a given influence | examples=immune to persuasion

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "For example, first-term - term members of the House, once the most vulnerable of incumbents, have become virtually <t>immune</t> to defeat."
The word is "immune", followed by "to defeat".
Senses:
1. relating to the condition of immunity (the immune system)
2. secure against (immune from taxation)
3. relating to or conferring immunity (to disease or infection)
4. (usually followed by 'to') not affected by a given influence (immune to persuasion)

In the sentence, "immune to defeat" means not affected by the influence of defeat, or secure against defeat. Wait, sense 4 is "not affected by a given influence", examples: "immune to persuasion". "immune to defeat" fits "not affected by a given influence" or "secure against"?
Let's check WordNet senses for "immune".
Sense 1: (adjective) relating to the condition of immunity; "the immune system"
Sense 2: (adjective) secure against; "immune from taxation as long as he resided in Bermuda"; "immune from punishment"
Sense 3: (adjective) relating to or conferring immunity (to disease or infection)
Sense 4: (adjective) (usually followed by `to') not affected by a given influence; "immune to persuasion"

Wait, "immune to defeat" - is it sense 2 or 4?
Usually, "immune to" + abstract noun (like criticism, persuasion, defeat) is sense 4.
Let's re-read sense 2: "secure against" - "immune from taxation", "immune from punishment". Usually "immune from".
Sense 4: "(usually followed by `to') not affected by a given influence" - "immune to persuasion". "immune to defeat" uses "to".
Therefore, sense 4 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"immune to defeat" -> not affected by the influence of defeat? Or secure against defeat?
Actually, WordNet defines:
immune (usually followed by `to') not affected by a given influence "immune to persuasion"
immune secure against "immune from taxation as long as he resided in Bermuda" "immune from punishment"

Since the sentence uses "immune to", it aligns perfectly with sense 4's hint "(usually followed by `to')".
Sense 2 examples use "immune from".
So 4 is the correct choice.
Let's confirm: "immune to defeat". Defeat is an influence/event.
I will return 4.

1. definition=a deliberate act of omission | examples=with the exception of the children, everyone was told the news
2. definition=an instance that does not conform to a rule or generalization | examples=all her children were brilliant; the only exception was her last child

The word is "exception".
Senses:
1. a deliberate act of omission
2. an instance that does not conform to a rule or generalization
3. grounds for adverse criticism

In the sentence, "exception" refers to an instance that does not conform to a trend (which is a generalization or rule). "The one exception to this recent trend..."
Therefore, it matches sense 2.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: deliberate act of omission. Not applicable here.
Sense 2: an instance that does not conform to a rule or generalization. "recent trend" is a generalization. The defeat was an instance not conforming to it.
Sense 3: grounds for adverse criticism. Not applicable.

So the answer is 2.
Return only the number.
Just "2".

The sentence is: "The one exception to this recent <t>trend</t> was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982."
The word "trend" here refers to a general direction in which something tends to move, specifically the trend of freshman Republicans winning re-election (or incumbents winning). Wait, let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: a general direction in which something tends to move (e.g., the shoreward tendency of the current).
Sense 2: general line of orientation (e.g., the river takes a southern course).
Sense 3: a general tendency to change (as of opinion) (e.g., not openly liberal but that is the trend of the book).
Sense 4: the popular taste at a given time (e.g., leather is the latest vogue).

In the context of the sentence, "recent trend" refers to the general direction of election results (e.g., incumbents winning, or Republicans winning). This matches Sense 1: "a general direction in which something tends to move".
Let's double check WordNet senses for "trend".
Noun:
1. tendency, trend (a general direction in which something tends to move) "the shoreward tendency of the current"; "the trend of the stock market"
2. course, trend (general line of orientation) "the river takes a southern course"; "the northeastern trend of the coast"

The sentence uses "trend" to mean the general direction of election outcomes (e.g. incumbents being re-elected). Thus, it's Sense 1.

Let's read the sentence again: "The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans..."
The "trend" is that incumbents (or freshman Republicans) were winning re-election. This is a general direction in which something tends to move (election outcomes).
So Sense 1 is the best fit.

The sentence is: "The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans <t>brought</t> into office in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982."

The word "brought" is used in the phrase "brought into office".
This means "cause to come into a particular state or condition" (into office).
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: take something or somebody with oneself somewhere
Sense 2: cause to come into a particular state or condition | examples=Long hard years of on the job training had brought them to their competence
Sense 3: cause to happen or to occur as a consequence
Sense 4: go or come after and bring or take back
Sense 5: bring into a different state | examples=this may land you in jail (Wait, "bring into a different state" is usually "bring about" or something, but the example is "land")
Sense 6: be accompanied by
Sense 7: advance or set forth in court
Sense 8: bestow a quality on
Sense 9: be sold for a certain price
Sense 10: attract the attention of
Sense 11: induce or persuade

"brought into office" -> cause to come into a particular state or condition (office).
Could it be Sense 2? "cause to come into a particular state or condition".
Let's check WordNet for "bring into office". No, "bring" + "into office".
Wait, Sense 2: cause to come into a particular state or condition. Example: "bring them to their competence", "bring into office".
Let's re-read Sense 2: "cause to come into a particular state or condition".
Sense 5: "bring into a different state" (this is usually 'bring' as in 'bring to a halt' or something, but the example is 'land'). Actually, WordNet sense for "bring" (cause to come into a particular state or condition) includes "bring to power", "bring into office".
Let's consider Sense 2 vs Sense 5.
In WordNet:
bring (cause to come into a particular state or condition) "Long hard years of on the job training had brought them to their competence"
bring, land (bring into a different state) "this may land you in jail"

"brought into office" matches "cause to come into a particular state or condition" (Sense 2).
Let's double check.
"bring someone into office" -> cause them to come into the state of being in office.
So Sense 2.
Another option: "bring" as in "bring about" (Sense 3). But it's "brought [people] into office".
So it's Sense 2.
Let's confirm the exact wording of Sense 2 in WordNet:
"cause to come into a particular state or condition" -> "bring"
Example: "Long hard years of on the job training had brought them to their competence"

I will output 2.
Proof: "brought into office" -> cause to come into a particular state or condition.
Number: 2.

The sentence is: "The one exception to this recent trend was the defeat of 13 of the 52 freshman Republicans brought into <t>office</t> in 1980 by the Reagan revolution and running for re-election in 1982."
The word "office" refers to a position of authority or a government position, specifically "brought into office" which means holding an office / being in power / assuming a government position.
Looking at the senses:

4. (of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power | examples=being in office already gives a candidate a great advantage

Sense 4 fits "brought into office" (holding an office means being in power, or assuming power). The example "being in office" matches "brought into office".
Wait, does it mean sense 4 or sense 7? "brought into office" usually refers to political office, which aligns perfectly with sense 4: "(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power".

Let's double check.
"brought into office" -> elected to a political position.
Sense 4: "(of a government or government official) holding an office means being in power"
Sense 7: "a job in an organization"

Sense 4 is the most specific and accurate for politicians (freshman Republicans).

Therefore, the number is 4.

The "Reagan revolution" refers to a major shift in political ideology, policies, and ways of thinking, not the overthrow of a government. Therefore, sense 1 is the correct fit.
Let's double check. WordNet defines "Reagan revolution" under the sense of "a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving".
Sense 1: a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving.
Sense 2: the overthrow of a government.
Sense 3: a single complete turn.

I will return 1.
End of thought.
