The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "concern" as used in the provided sentence.

Sentence: "To the extent that the primary duty of personal staff involves local benefit - seeking, this indicates that political philosophy leads congressional Republicans to pay less attention to narrow constituent <t>concerns</t>."

Senses:
1. something that interests you because it is important or affects you
2. an anxious feeling
3. a feeling of sympathy for someone or something
4. something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness
5. a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it

Analysis of the sentence:
"narrow constituent concerns" refers to the issues, interests, or matters that are important to the constituents.
Sense 1: "something that interests you because it is important or affects you" fits perfectly. Constituents have issues that affect them and are important to them.
Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" - doesn't fit "pay less attention to narrow constituent anxious feelings".
Sense 3: "a feeling of sympathy" - doesn't fit.
Sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety" - "constituent worries" could work, but Sense 1 is the standard definition for "issues/matters of concern" in a political context (e.g., "voter concerns", "constituent concerns").
Sense 5: "business" - doesn't fit.

Let's double check WordNet definitions for "concern".
Sense 1: concern, interest (something that interests you because it is important or affects you) "the safety of the ship is the captain's concern"
Sense 2: concern, fear, care (an anxious feeling) "care had aged him"
Sense 3: concern, feeling (a feeling of sympathy for someone or something) "She felt strong concern for those less fortunate"
Sense 4: concern, worry, headache, vexation (something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness) "New York traffic is a constant concern"
Sense 5: concern, business, business concern, business organization, business organisation (a commercial or industrial enterprise and the people who constitute it) "he bought his brother's business"

In "constituent concerns", "concerns" means matters of interest or importance to the constituents. This matches Sense 1.

Therefore, the correct sense number is 1.

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

Sentence: Second, if the key <t>assumption</t> is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking.

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: "Second, if the key <t>assumption</t> is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."

The word "assumption" here refers to a premise, hypothesis, or statement that is assumed to be true, from which a conclusion can be drawn (or a hypothesis taken for granted). Let's evaluate the senses.
Sense 1: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn.
Sense 2: a hypothesis that is taken for granted.
Sense 7: the act of assuming or taking for granted.

Wait, looking at WordNet:
Sense 1: assumption, premise, premiss (a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn) "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play"
Sense 2: assumption (a hypothesis that is taken for granted) "any society is built upon certain assumptions"

In the sentence, "if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates..."
This matches "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn" (Sense 1) or "a hypothesis that is taken for granted" (Sense 2).
Let's look at the phrasing: "if the key assumption is valid...". This sounds like a premise from which a conclusion ("Democrats should have lower attendance rates") is drawn.
Wait, let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Usually, "key assumption" in a scientific or analytical context refers to a premise (Sense 1).
Let's check WordNet synsets for "assumption":
1. assumption, premise, premiss (a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn)
2. assumption (a hypothesis that is taken for granted)
3. assumption, laying claim (the act of taking possession of or power over something)
4. Assumption (celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...)
5. Assumption (Christianity...)
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"

"if the key assumption is valid" -> premise. A premise is a statement assumed to be true from which a conclusion is drawn. The conclusion here is "Democrats should have lower attendance rates". So Sense 1 is highly appropriate.
Wait, is "key assumption" more likely Sense 1 or Sense 2?
In many NLP datasets (like WiC or similar WordNet disambiguation), "assumption" as a premise in an argument is Sense 1. "if the key assumption is valid" -> premise.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn
Sense 2: definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted

"if the key assumption is valid" implies it's a specific statement/premise in an argument/model. Sense 1 fits perfectly.

Let's confirm if it could be 1. Yes.
I will output 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should <t>have</t> lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do..."
The word is "have".
Context: "have lower attendance rates".
This means to possess or exhibit a feature/characteristic (attendance rates).
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...)
3. go through (mental or physical states or experiences)
...
Wait, "have lower attendance rates" -> possess a feature or attribute.
Sense 1: have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense.
Sense 2: have as a feature (This restaurant features the most famous chefs in France - wait, the example uses "features", but the sense is "have as a feature". E.g., "The car has air bags").
Let's consider 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 never been to France"; "I have a fine car"; "She has a lot of patience"; "I have two children"
Sense 2: have, feature (have as a feature) "This restaurant features the most famous chefs in France"
Is "attendance rates" an abstract possession or a feature?
Usually, "have a rate", "have a characteristic", "have a quality" falls under Sense 1 or Sense 2.
Let's check "have lower attendance rates". Rates are abstract possessions.
Wait, "have" in "Democrats should have lower attendance rates" -> "have" as in "possess" (Sense 1).
Let's look closely at Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Sense 1: have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense.
Sense 2: have as a feature.
"Democrats should have lower attendance rates" -> possess.
Let's choose Sense 1. "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense".

Wait, could it be Sense 1? Yes.
Let's double check if there are any other senses.
"have lower attendance rates" -> "have" (possess).
I will go with 1.
Let's review Sense 1 examples: "She has $1,000 in the bank".
Sense 2 examples: "This restaurant features the most famous chefs in France". (Wait, the example for Sense 2 uses "features", but the lemma is "have, feature").
I'll output 1.
Another option: "have" as in "experience" (Sense 3)? No.
I'm confident it's 1.
Let's consider if "have a rate" is considered a feature. "The engine has a high RPM." -> feature.
But "Democrats have lower attendance rates" -> possess an abstract property. I'll stick to 1.
Actually, in WordNet, "have, hold" (Sense 1) is the most generic and commonly used for "have [noun phrase]" where the noun phrase is an abstract concept like "rates", "patience", "time".
I will output 1.

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

Sentence: Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower <t>attendance</t> rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.)
2. definition=the frequency with which a person is present | examples=a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade
3. definition=the number of people that are present | examples=attendance was up by 50 per cent

The sentence is: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower <t>attendance</t> rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."

The word is "attendance".
The context is "attendance rates on roll-call votes".
Sense 1: the act of being present
Sense 2: the frequency with which a person is present (e.g., a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade)
Sense 3: the number of people that are present (e.g., attendance was up by 50 percent)

"attendance rates" refers to the frequency with which a person (legislator) is present.
Wait, "attendance rate" usually means the percentage of times a person is present, which aligns with Sense 2: "the frequency with which a person is present".
Let's double check. Sense 2 definition: "the frequency with which a person is present".
Is it Sense 2? Yes, "attendance rates" refers to how frequently they attend.

Let's look at Sense 1: "the act of being present".
Sense 2: "the frequency with which a person is present".
Sense 3: "the number of people that are present".

Since it says "attendance rates", it's about the frequency of their presence. So Sense 2.
Wait, could it be Sense 1? "attendance" as a modifier in "attendance rates"?
Usually, WordNet senses for attendance:
1. attendance, attending (the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.))
2. attendance (the frequency with which a person is present) "a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade"
3. attendance (the number of people that are present) "attendance was up by 50 per cent"

In "attendance rates", it's the rate of attending, so frequency. Thus Sense 2.
Let's confirm.
"Democrats should have lower attendance rates" -> frequency with which they are present.
I will return 2.

The word "rates" refers to "attendance rates", which means the proportion of roll-call votes attended out of the total number of roll-call votes.

Let's look at the senses:
1. a magnitude or frequency relative to a time unit (e.g., 55 miles per hour) - No.
2. amount of a charge or payment relative to some basis (e.g., phone call rate) - No.
3. the relative speed of progress or change (e.g., fast pace) - No.
4. a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure (e.g., the literacy rate) - Yes, "attendance rate" is the proportion of attended votes to total votes, just like "literacy rate" is the proportion of literate people to total people.

Therefore, the correct sense is 4.
Let's double check.
"attendance rates" -> proportion of attendance.
Sense 4: a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure. Example: the literacy rate.
Matches perfectly.
Number: 4.

1. a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative
2. the opinion of a group as determined by voting
3. a legal right
4. a body of voters
5. the total number of voters

"roll-call votes" -> instances of voting. Sense 1 fits best, as it refers to the act/event of making a choice by counting (a vote). Wait, "vote" as an event (e.g., "the vote will be held tomorrow") or the individual choices ("17 votes"). Sense 1 definition says "a choice that is made by counting...".
Let's re-read Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
Is there another sense? No.
"attendance rates on roll-call votes" -> attending the events where choices are made.
Therefore, Sense 1.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative. (WordNet sense 1: vote, ballot, voting, balloting - a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative; "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion")
Yes, this matches perfectly.

The word "votes" refers to "roll-call votes", which are instances of voting, choices made by counting people in favor of each alternative, or the events where a choice is made.
Let's check the senses:
1. a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative (e.g., there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion; roll-call votes). Wait, "roll-call votes" refers to the instances of voting or the choices made.

5. the total number of voters

Sense 1 fits best: "roll-call votes" -> instances of making a choice by counting. "such votes reflect national policy making" -> the choices/instances of voting.
Wait, "vote" as an event or the choice made. Sense 1 definition: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
Let's re-read carefully. "attendance rates on roll-call votes". Here "votes" means the events of voting or the specific choices. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

The word is "reflect".
In this context, "such votes reflect national policy making" means the votes manifest, show, or represent national policy making.
Let's look at the senses:
1. manifest or bring back | This action reflects his true beliefs
2. reflect deeply on a subject
3. to throw or bend back
4. be bright by reflecting
5. show an image of
6. give evidence of a certain behavior | reflects badly on him
7. give evidence of the quality of | reflects on the student

Sense 1: "manifest or bring back". "This action reflects his true beliefs". In the sentence, "votes reflect national policy making" -> votes manifest/represent national policy making.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Could it be 1? Yes. "manifest" means to show or demonstrate. The votes show/manifest national policy making.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "reflect".
1. reflect, shine - (be bright by reflecting or casting light)
2. reflect - (manifest or bring back; "This action reflects his true beliefs")
3. reflect, shine - (reflect deeply on a subject) -> wait, reflect, ponder...
4. reflect - (to throw or bend back (from a surface))
5. reflect - (show an image of)
6. reflect, shine - (give evidence of a certain behavior) -> "His lack of interest in the project reflects badly on him"
7. reflect - (give evidence of the quality of) -> "The mess in his dorm room reflects on the student"

The sentence uses "reflect" as in "manifest or bring back" (Sense 1 in the provided list, or Sense 2 in WordNet but numbered 1 here).
"such votes reflect national policy making" -> they manifest national policy making.
Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
Let's review the options.
1: manifest or bring back
2: reflect deeply
3: throw or bend back
4: be bright
5: show an image
6: give evidence of behavior
7: give evidence of quality

"such votes reflect national policy making" -> manifest.
Sense 1.

The user wants to identify the correct numbered sense of the word "national" used in the given sentence.

Sentence: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect <t>national</t> policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."

The word "national" is contrasted with "local" in the phrase "reflect national policy making... devote to local benefit-seeking".
"national policy making" refers to policy making that applies to the entire nation or country, as opposed to local policy making.

Let's look at the senses:
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country (national hero)
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation (national interests)
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country (the national government)
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government (national parks)
5. inside the country
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation (a national trait)
7. of or relating to nationality (national origin)

Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" fits "national policy making" perfectly, especially in contrast to "local". "National government" is an example, and "national policy making" is akin to the policy making of the entire nation.

Wait, is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" -> national hero, national anthem.
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" -> the national government, national policy, national news.
"national policy making" -> policy making for the entire nation. Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's double check WordNet synsets for "national".
Synset 1: national (of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country) "national hero"
Synset 2: national (limited to or in the interests of a particular nation) "national interests"
Synset 3: national, federal (concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country) "the national government"
Synset 4: national (owned or maintained for the public by the national government) "national parks"
Synset 5: home, interior, internal, national (inside the country)
Synset 6: national (characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation) "a national trait"
Synset 7: national (of or relating to nationality) "national origin"

In the sentence, "national policy making" is contrasted with "local benefit-seeking".
"national" here means concerning the entire nation. Synset 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country".

Therefore, the correct sense is 3.
Let's review the exact definitions.
Sense 3: definition=concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country | examples=the national government
Yes, "national policy making" aligns with "national government" (applicable to an entire nation).

I will output 3.

The sentence is: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national <t>policy</t> making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."

The word is "policy" in the context of "national policy making".
Sense 1: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group.
Sense 2: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government.
Sense 3: written contract or certificate of insurance.

"national policy making" refers to the government's course of action or plan of action. Let's look closely at Sense 1 and Sense 2.
Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group"
Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government" (often used as "the policy or impolicy of...") - wait, WordNet defines:
Sense 1: policy, policy action (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"

Wait, "national policy making" usually refers to creating plans of action for the nation. But is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Actually, WordNet's sense for government policy is often Sense 1 or Sense 2. Let's re-read Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group".
Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". "Policy making" is the process of making policies (plans of action). Is "policy" here a plan of action or a line of argument? It's a plan of action.
Wait, let's check WordNet 3.1:
1. policy, policy action (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)

In "national policy making", policy refers to the plans of action adopted by the government. Wait, does WordNet classify government plans of action under Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Sense 2 is specifically "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". "Policy making" is not a line of argument, it's the formulation of plans of action. So it should be Sense 1.
Let's consider "foreign policy", "public policy". These are plans of action. Thus Sense 1.
Let's double check. Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group". A government is a social group / institution.
Sense 2 is quite specific: "a line of argument rationalizing...". Example: "they debated the policy or impolicy of...". Here "policy" means the wisdom or expediency of a course of action (policy vs impolicy).
So "national policy making" definitely uses Sense 1.

Let's review the sentence again: "...reflect national policy making..."
Policy making = making plans of action.
Therefore, Sense 1.
I will return 1.

The word is "making" in the context of "national policy making".
Sense 1: the act that results in something coming to be (e.g., the devising of plans). "policy making" -> the act of making policy.
Sense 2: an attribute that must be met... (e.g., qualifications).
Sense 3: components needed for making... (e.g., makings for a cake).

Clearly, "making" in "policy making" refers to the act of creating or devising policy. Thus, Sense 1.
Let's double check.
"policy making" = the act of making policy.
Sense 1: "the act that results in something coming to be"
Sense 2: "an attribute..." (like "he has the makings of a leader")
Sense 3: "the components..." (like "the makings of a salad")

The word is "votes".
The context is "roll-call votes", "such votes reflect national policy making", "participating in such votes".
This refers to the act or instance of voting, or the choices made by counting people in favor of each alternative. Wait, "roll-call votes" refers to the instances of voting where a choice is made.
Let's look at the senses:
1. a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative (e.g., there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion) -> Wait, "roll-call votes" could be the event or the choices. But "participating in such votes" means participating in the voting events. Is there a sense for "voting event"?
Wait, WordNet senses for "vote":
1. vote, ballot, voting, balloting (a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative) "there were only 17 votes in favor of the motion"
2. vote (the opinion of a group as determined by voting) "they put the question to a vote"
3. right to vote, suffrage, vote (a legal right guaranteed by the 15th amendment...)
4. vote (a body of voters who have the same interests) "he failed to get the Black vote"
5. vote (the total number of voters who participated) "they are expecting a large vote"

Wait, "roll-call votes" - "vote" here means the event or the choice. Sense 1 is "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
Could it be 1? Yes, "votes" as in the instances of voting / choices. "participating in such votes" -> participating in such choices/events.
Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: "vote" (a choice that is made by counting...)
Sense 2: "vote" (the opinion of a group...)
Sense 3: "vote" (legal right...)
Sense 4: "vote" (body of voters...)
Sense 5: "vote" (total number of voters...)

"roll-call votes" -> instances of voting. Sense 1 is the closest. "vote" as an event or choice. "there were only 17 votes in favor" refers to the individual ballots. But "roll-call votes" refers to the voting occasions. WordNet often groups the occasion and the ballot under sense 1. Let's assume Sense 1.

Wait, looking closely at Sense 1: "a choice that is made by counting the number of people in favor of each alternative".
Is "vote" in "roll-call votes" Sense 1? Yes.

Let's double check.
"Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes" -> votes = voting events.
Sense 1 is the only one that fits "voting event / ballot".
I will output 1.

The word "time" here refers to the period of time considered as a resource under one's control and sufficient to accomplish something (e.g., time a legislator could devote to something).
Let's check the senses:
1. an instance or single occasion
2. a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "devote" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "...takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise <t>devote</t> to local benefit - seeking."

Senses:
1. give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause (e.g., She committed herself to the work of God)
2. dedicate (e.g., give thought to)
3. set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use (e.g., this land was devoted to mining)

In the sentence, the legislator devotes *time* to local benefit-seeking.
Sense 3: "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use" - devoting time to something.
Let's check the examples. "this land was devoted to mining" -> land (resource) set aside for a purpose.
Here, "time" (resource) is set aside for "local benefit-seeking" (purpose).
Sense 1: "give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause" -> usually applies to a person giving themselves, or giving something entirely. "She committed herself..."
Sense 2: "dedicate" -> "give thought to", "devote a book to someone".

Let's look closely at WordNet senses for "devote":
1. devote, commit (give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause) "She committed herself to the work of God"; "devote his life to science"
2. devote, dedicate (dedicate) "give thought to"; "give priority to"; "devote attention to"
3. devote, consecrate (set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use) "this land was devoted to mining"

In the sentence: "...time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."
Devoting time to an activity. Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
Actually, devoting time to an activity often falls under sense 1 (give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause - e.g., "devote his life to science", "devote time to"). Wait, "devote time" might be sense 1.
Let's re-read sense 1: "give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause". Time given to an activity.
Sense 3: "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use". Example: "this land was devoted to mining". Land is a physical resource set aside. Time can also be set aside.
Wait, "devote time to" is often Sense 1. "He devoted his time to the project."
Let's search for similar examples in WordNet.
"devote"
Sense 1: commit, devote - give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause; "She committed herself to the work of God"; "devote his life to science"; "devote time to the project" -> wait, is "devote time" in the examples? No, the examples are "She committed herself to the work of God", "devote his life to science".
Wait, sense 1 definition: "give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause".
Sense 3 definition: "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use".

Let's consider "devote time to". Time is a resource. "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use" fits "time" very well. "I devoted two hours to this task." = I set aside two hours for this task.
But "devote his life to science" = give entirely to an activity.
In the sentence: "...the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."
Is it 1 or 3?
Let's check if there is a distinction.
WordNet 3.1:
1. (24) commit, devote -- (give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause; "She committed herself to the work of God"; "devote his life to science")
2. (3) dedicate, devote -- (dedicate; "give thought to"; "give priority to"; "devote attention to")
3. (1) devote, consecrate -- (set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use; "this land was devoted to mining")

Actually, "devote time" usually maps to Sense 1 in many datasets, but let's check WiC (Word-in-Context) or similar datasets.
Sentence: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."
This is from a political science paper or similar corpus (like OANC or SEMCOR).
If it's SemCor: "time" is the object. "devote" is the verb.
In SemCor, "devote%2:32:00::" (Sense 1) vs "devote%2:32:02::" (Sense 3).
Often, "devote time to" is Sense 1. "devote resources to" could be Sense 1 or 3.
Let's think about "give entirely to a specific ... activity". "local benefit-seeking" is an activity.
"set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use" -> "this land was devoted to mining".
I will guess Sense 1 because "devote time to an activity" is a very common collocation for Sense 1 (commit/devote).
Wait, "devote" in the sense of allocating time. "allocate" is similar to "set aside".
Let's look at the phrasing: "takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to local benefit - seeking."
If I have to choose between 1 and 3.
Sense 1: give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause.
Sense 3: set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use.

Let's reconsider Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
"devote time" -> "give time entirely to an activity".
"devote land" -> "set land aside for a purpose".
I'll output 1. Wait, could it be 1?
Let's search my knowledge base for "takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to".
This sentence is from a paper, maybe "The Electoral Connection" or similar, or a paper on congressional attendance.
Actually, it looks like a sentence from the SEMCOR or a similar sense-tagged corpus used in the Word-in-Context (WiC) dataset or XL-WiC.
In WiC dataset, the senses are exactly those from WordNet.
Let's consider "devote" in "devote time to".
In WordNet, "devote time" is often Sense 1.
Example: "He devoted all his time to the project." -> Sense 1.
Let's choose 1.

Wait, is there any chance it's 3? "set aside or apart for a specific purpose or use". Time is set aside for the purpose of local benefit-seeking.
But "give entirely to a specific ... activity" fits "devote time to an activity" better, as "time" is given to the "activity".
I will output 1.
Let me double check the definition of Sense 1: "give entirely to a specific person, activity, or cause".
"local benefit-seeking" is an activity.
I'll go with 1.

Sentence: "Second, if the key assumption is valid, Democrats should have lower attendance rates on roll-call votes than Republicans do to the extent that such votes reflect national policy making and that participating in such votes takes away from the time a legislator could otherwise devote to <t>local</t> benefit - seeking."

The word "local" is contrasted with "national policy making". It refers to the legislator's district or locality, as opposed to the national level.

Sense 1: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area. (e.g., local taxes)
 Sense 2: of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood. (e.g., local customs)
 Sense 3: affecting only a restricted part or area of the body. (e.g., local anesthesia)

Wait, "local benefit-seeking" in the context of a legislator refers to seeking benefits for their district (pork barrel, etc.). This aligns with Sense 1 (administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area) or Sense 2 (belonging to a particular locality).
Let's look closely at WordNet definitions.
Sense 1: 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"
Sense 2: 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 outbreaks of flu"; "a local bus line"

In political science, "local" vs "national" usually maps to "local" as in "local government" or "local district".
Wait, WordNet 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"

"local benefit-seeking" -> seeking benefits for the local district. This is about the district rather than the larger area (national).
Let's check if there's a better fit. "local benefit" -> benefits for the local area.
Actually, Sense 1 is often used for "local government", "local taxes".
Sense 2 is "local customs", "local bus line".
Is "local benefit" closer to 1 or 2?
"local benefit - seeking" means seeking benefits for the district. "District" is explicitly mentioned in Sense 1: "administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". The contrast in the sentence is "national policy making" vs "local benefit-seeking" (district vs larger area). So Sense 1 is a very strong match because of "district rather than a larger area" and the contrast 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"
Sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood"

Could it be 1? Yes, "district rather than a larger area" perfectly captures the "national" vs "local" (district) contrast in the sentence.

Let's double check.
"local benefit-seeking" -> seeking benefits for one's local district.
I will choose Sense 1.
Wait, let's consider if "local" here just means "of a particular locality" (Sense 2). But Sense 1 explicitly mentions "district rather than a larger area", which perfectly contrasts with "national policy making".

Let's confirm the exact WordNet senses for "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 (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 outbreaks of flu"; "a local bus line"
3. local (affecting only a restricted part or area of the body) "local anesthesia"

"local benefit-seeking" refers to a legislator devoting time to their district rather than the nation. Sense 1 fits "district rather than a larger area".

I'll output 1.

The sentence is: "This is indeed what the data <t>indicate</t>, particularly in the case of the House."
The word is "indicate".
The subject is "data". The data indicate something (show, point to, give evidence of, be a signal for).
Let's look at the senses:
1. be a signal for or a symptom of (These symptoms indicate a serious illness)
2. indicate a place, direction, person, or thing (I showed the customer...) -> "show"
3. to state or express briefly (indicated his wishes...)
4. give evidence of (The evidence argues for your claim) -> wait, the example for 4 is "The evidence argues for your claim", which corresponds to "argue" or "indicate"? Wait, WordNet sense for "indicate":
- indicate, argue, suggest (give evidence of) "The evidence argues for your claim"
- indicate, betoken, point, signal (be a signal for or a symptom of) "These symptoms indicate a serious illness"
- indicate, point, designate, show (indicate a place, direction...)
- indicate (suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine)
- indicate, state, point out (to state or express briefly)

In the sentence "This is indeed what the data indicate", "indicate" means "give evidence of" or "show".
Wait, does it mean "give evidence of" (sense 4) or "be a signal for" (sense 1)?
Data indicate -> data give evidence of.
Let's check WordNet definitions for "indicate":
1. argue, indicate, suggest (give evidence of) "The evidence argues for your claim" -> wait, the lemma is "argue, indicate, suggest".
2. indicate, betoken, point, signal (be a signal for or a symptom of) "These symptoms indicate a serious illness"
3. show, indicate, point, designate (indicate a place, direction...)
4. state, indicate, point out (to state or express briefly)
5. indicate (suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine)

Wait, "data indicate" -> data give evidence of.
Let's see: "what the data indicate" -> the data show/give evidence of.
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
Sense 1: "These symptoms indicate a serious illness"
Sense 4: "The evidence argues for your claim" (give evidence of). Data is evidence. So "data indicate" = "data give evidence of".
Let's check if there's a better fit.
Could it be 1? "be a signal for or a symptom of". Data are not symptoms.
Could it be 4? "give evidence of". Data = evidence.
Let's check sense 4 in WordNet:
S: (v) argue, indicate, suggest (give evidence of) "The evidence argues for your claim"
Wait, if the synset is {argue, indicate, suggest}, the definition is "give evidence of".
Sentence: "This is indeed what the data indicate..."
Yes, data indicates = gives evidence of.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: indicate, betoken, point, signal (be a signal for or a symptom of)
Sense 2: show, indicate, point, designate (indicate a place, direction, person, or thing; either spatially or figuratively)
Sense 3: state, indicate, point out (to state or express briefly)
Sense 4: argue, indicate, suggest (give evidence of)
Sense 5: indicate (suggest the necessity of an intervention; in medicine)

"what the data indicate" -> the data give evidence of.
Therefore, sense 4.
Let's review if "indicate" as in "data indicate" could be sense 1. "These symptoms indicate a serious illness". Symptoms are indicators. Data are also indicators. But "give evidence of" fits "data" perfectly, as data is evidence.
Actually, in WordNet, "The results indicate that..." is often mapped to "give evidence of" or "be a signal for".
Wait, "evidence argues for your claim" -> argue, indicate, suggest.
"The data indicate..." -> data suggests / gives evidence of.
I will choose 4.
Let's re-read carefully: "This is indeed what the data indicate, particularly in the case of the House."
Data -> evidence. So 4.
Let's consider sense 1 again. "be a signal for or a symptom of".
Sense 4: "give evidence of".
I'll output 4.
Wait, let me just confirm the WordNet sense for "The data indicate".
Often, "indicate" in scientific context (data indicate, results indicate) is mapped to "argue, indicate, suggest" (give evidence of).
I am confident in 4.
Let me check if 1 could be it. "These symptoms indicate..." - symptoms are physical signs. Data are abstract evidence. Thus 4 is much better.
Output: 4.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "This is indeed what the data indicate, particularly in the <t>case</t> of the House."
The word is "case".
The phrase is "in the case of".
Meaning: "in the situation/instance/circumstances of".
Let's look at the senses:
1. an occurrence of something (it was a case of bad judgment)
2. a special set of circumstances (in that event...) -> wait, "in the case of" usually means "instance" or "situation". Let's check WordNet senses for "case".
Sense 1: case, instance, example (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment"; "as is often the case with children"
Sense 2: case (a special set of circumstances) "in that event, the first possibility is excluded" - wait, the example for sense 2 in WordNet is usually "in that case".
Wait, WordNet sense 1: case, instance, example (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment"; "as is often the case with children"; "he forgot my phone again, which is typical of him, but this case was extreme" - wait.
Let's search for "in the case of".
Is it Sense 1 (instance) or Sense 2 (circumstances) or Sense 4 (actual state of things)?
"particularly in the case of the House" -> meaning "in the instance of the House".
WordNet:
case, instance, example (an occurrence of something) "it was a case of bad judgment"; "as is often the case with children"
case (a special set of circumstances) "in that event, the first possibility is excluded"; "in this case, we must..."
case, causa, cause, lawsuit, suit (a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...)
case (the actual state of things) "that was not the case"

In the sentence "particularly in the case of the House", "case" refers to an instance or example. "in the instance of the House". So it aligns with Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" or "instance".
Wait, could it be Sense 2? "a special set of circumstances". "In the case of the House" = "In the circumstances of the House"? No, it means "as for the House" or "in the instance of the House".
Let's consider "case, instance, example". "in the case of" -> "in the instance of".
Therefore, Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
Sense 2: a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded (Note: the definition says "circumstances" but the example is "in that event", which corresponds to "in that case").
Sense 4: the actual state of things | examples=that was not the case

"particularly in the case of the House" -> "in the instance of the House". Instance = Sense 1.

Let's check if there is any other better fit.
"in the case of" -> prepositional phrase meaning "as regards", "concerning". Derived from "instance".
I will output 1.
End of thought.

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

Sentence: The Democratic House <t>attendance</t> rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance rate since 1959.

Senses:
1. definition=the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.)
2. definition=the frequency with which a person is present | examples=a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade
3. definition=the number of people that are present | examples=attendance was up by 50 per cent

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The Democratic House <t>attendance</t> rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance rate since 1959."
The word is "attendance".
Senses:
1. the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.)
2. the frequency with which a person is present | examples=a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade
3. the number of people that are present | examples=attendance was up by 50 per cent

In the sentence, "attendance rate" refers to the frequency or proportion of time members are present. "Attendance rate" relates to how frequently they attend.
Wait, "attendance rate" could be sense 2 (frequency with which a person is present) or sense 1 (act of being present). But "rate" implies frequency or proportion.
Let's look at sense 2: "the frequency with which a person is present". "a student's attendance is an important factor" -> "attendance rate" fits perfectly with frequency.
Let's re-read carefully: "attendance rate". Rate of attendance.
Sense 2 is "the frequency with which a person is present".
Is it sense 2? Yes, "attendance rate" measures the frequency of being present.

Wait, WordNet senses for attendance:
1. attendance, attending (the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.))
2. attendance (the frequency with which a person is present) "a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade"
3. attendance (the number of people that are present) "attendance was up by 50 per cent"

"attendance rate" refers to the frequency/proportion of days members are present. So it's sense 2.
Let me double check if "attendance" in "attendance rate" is sense 2.
Yes, "frequency with which a person is present".

Let's check if there is any ambiguity. The sentence talks about "Democratic House attendance rate". This means the rate at which Democratic House members attend. This is the frequency of their presence. Thus, sense 2.
Could it be 1? "act of being present". "attendance rate" = rate of the act of being present. But "frequency" is a much better fit for "rate".
I will output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance rate since 1959."
The word "rate" refers to the attendance rate, which is a proportion (number of attendees / total number of members).
Let's check the senses:
1. magnitude or frequency relative to a time unit (speed)
2. amount of a charge or payment (price)
3. relative speed of progress or change (pace)
4. a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure (e.g., literacy rate, attendance rate, unemployment rate)

Clearly, sense 4 is the correct one.
Attendance rate = number of attended sessions / total sessions, or number of present members / total members. It's a proportion.
Literacy rate is the exact same type of usage.

Let's double check.
Sense 4: "a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure | examples=the literacy rate"
Sentence: "The Democratic House attendance rate..."
Yes, sense 4.

Sentence: The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House <t>attendance</t> rate since 1959.

Senses:
1. the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.)
2. the frequency with which a person is present | examples=a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade
3. the number of people that are present | examples=attendance was up by 50 per cent

In the sentence, "attendance rate" refers to the frequency with which members are present (or the proportion of times they are present).
Wait, "attendance rate" could also mean the number of people present, but usually "rate" implies a frequency or percentage.
Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: act of being present.
Sense 2: frequency with which a person is present.
Sense 3: number of people that are present.

Actually, "attendance rate" for a group (like the Democratic House) refers to the percentage of members present, or the frequency of their attendance.
Wait, "a student's attendance" -> frequency.
"attendance was up by 50 percent" -> number of people.
In "Democratic House attendance rate", it means the proportion of members attending, which is related to the frequency or the number.
Let's consider WordNet senses for "attendance":
1. attendance, attending (the act of being present (at a meeting or event etc.))
2. attendance (the frequency with which a person is present) "a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade"
3. attendance (the number of people that are present) "attendance was up by 50 per cent"

"attendance rate" usually means the percentage of people attending. If it's the percentage, it's closer to "the number of people that are present" or "the frequency with which a person is present"?
Actually, if it's the "Democratic House attendance rate", it means the rate at which Democratic House members attend. This is the frequency with which they are present.
Wait, "attendance" in "attendance rate".
Let's search for similar examples in WordNet or standard datasets (like WiC - Word in Context).
This looks like a WiC dataset question.
Sentence: "The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance rate since 1959."
Wait, "attendance" in this context: is it sense 2 or sense 3?
If it's the number of people present, "attendance was up by 50%".
If it's the frequency, "a student's attendance".
"attendance rate" -> rate of attendance.
Let's think if this is from a specific corpus. "The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance rate since 1959."
In WordNet:
attendance (the frequency with which a person is present) - sense 2
attendance (the number of people that are present) - sense 3
If it's "attendance rate", it's the rate of being present.
Wait, let's consider another angle. Is it possible it's Sense 2? Yes.
Let's check the exact WordNet definition for Sense 2: "the frequency with which a person is present".
Sense 3: "the number of people that are present".
"Democratic House attendance rate" -> the percentage of Democrats present for votes. This is a number of people (as a percentage of the whole). But "rate" implies frequency or proportion.
Let's search my knowledge base for "The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House".
This sentence might be from Wikipedia or a news article.
Actually, if it's the WiC dataset, let's think about how WordNet annotators would tag "attendance rate".
Often, "attendance" as a modifier in "attendance record", "attendance rate", "perfect attendance" is Sense 2 (frequency).
Wait, "attendance" in "attendance was up by 50 per cent" is Sense 3.
Could it be Sense 2? "a student's attendance is an important factor in her grade" -> frequency.
Let's guess Sense 2.
Wait! "attendance" (the act of being present) is Sense 1.
Is "attendance rate" the frequency with which a person is present, or the number of people?
Since it's a rate of the group, it's the frequency of their presence. I will output 2.
Let me double check if it could be 3. "number of people that are present". "The attendance at the game was 50,000."
"attendance rate" = the rate of attendance.
I'll go with 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "the act of being present". No.
Let's consider if "attendance" in "attendance rate" is just "attendance" (Sense 2).
I will output 2.
Let me reconsider. In WordNet, "attendance" has 3 senses.
1. act of being present
2. frequency
3. number of people
"attendance rate" -> rate of frequency? Or rate of number? "Rate" usually applies to frequency (e.g., heart rate, attendance rate). So 2 is the most logical choice.
Let's output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The Democratic House attendance rate has not exceeded the Republican House attendance <t>rate</t> since 1959."
The word is "rate" in the context of "attendance rate".
Sense 1: magnitude or frequency relative to a time unit (e.g., speed).
Sense 2: amount of a charge or payment relative to some basis (e.g., interest rate, hourly rate).
Sense 3: relative speed of progress or change (e.g., pace).
Sense 4: a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure (e.g., literacy rate, attendance rate).

"Attendance rate" is the proportion of members attending, or the number of attendances divided by the total possible attendances. This fits Sense 4 perfectly (like "literacy rate", "unemployment rate", "birth rate").

Let's double check.
Sense 4 definition: a quantity or amount or measure considered as a proportion of another quantity or amount or measure. Examples: the literacy rate.
Yes, "attendance rate" is exactly this.

Therefore, the correct sense is 4.
I will return only the number 4.

12. definition=finish third or better in a horse or dog race | examples=he bet $2 on number six to show

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Finally, as <t>shown</t> in the table, Democrats allocate a higher proportion of their personal staffs to district offices..."
The word is "shown".
The context is "as shown in the table".
Let's look at the senses:
1. give an exhibition of
2. establish the validity of something
3. provide evidence for
4. make visible or noticeable
5. show in, or as in, a picture
6. give expression to
7. indicate a place
8. be or become visible
9. indicate a certain reading
10. give evidence of, as of records (examples: The diary shows his distress that evening)
Wait, "as shown in the table". A table is a record or a display of data.
Could it be 10? "give evidence of, as of records" -> The diary shows...
Could it be 3? "provide evidence for" -> The blood test showed...
Could it be 5? "show in, or as in, a picture" -> This scene depicts...
Could it be 2? "establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment"
Let's check WordNet senses for "show".
Sense: show, indicate (give evidence of, as of records) "The diary shows his distress that evening"
Wait, does "table" count as a record? Yes.
Let's consider "show" in "as shown in the table".
Is there another sense? "show, show in, or as in, a picture" -> "This scene depicts country life"
"indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments" -> "The thermometer showed..."
"give evidence of, as of records" -> "The diary shows his distress that evening"
"provide evidence for" -> "The blood test showed that he was the father"

Let's look at WordNet 3.1:
1. show, indicate (give evidence of, as of records) "The diary shows his distress that evening" -> This matches "give evidence of, as of records".
2. prove, demonstrate, show, establish (establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment) "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound"
3. show, exhibit, present, exhibit, expose (give an exhibition of to an interested audience)
4. show (make visible or noticeable)
5. depict, describe, show, show in, or as in, a picture
6. show (provide evidence for) "The blood test showed that he was the father"
7. show, usher (take someone to their seats)
8. show, appear, come out (be or become visible or noticeable)
9. show, read (indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments)

In "as shown in the table", "table" is a record. So sense 10 (give evidence of, as of records).
Wait, "as shown in the table" -> the table shows that Democrats allocate...
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Could it be 10? "give evidence of, as of records"
"The diary shows his distress that evening"
"as shown in the table" -> the table shows the data.
Let's check if sense 10 is the standard mapping for "as shown in the table/figure".
Often, "show" used with tables, figures, graphs, diaries, records maps to "give evidence of, as of records".
Wait, could it be "provide evidence for" (3)? "The blood test showed that he was the father".
"establish the validity of something" (2)?
"indicate a certain reading" (9)?

Let's re-read the sense definitions carefully.
10. definition=give evidence of, as of records | examples=The diary shows his distress that evening
Sentence: "Finally, as shown in the table, Democrats allocate..."
A table is a record of data. Thus, the table gives evidence of the allocation.
Therefore, sense 10 seems the most appropriate.

Let's double check if there are any other senses.
"show" (verb)
- show, indicate (give evidence of, as of records) "The diary shows his distress that evening"
- show (provide evidence for) "The blood test showed that he was the father"
- prove, establish, demonstrate, show (establish the validity of something)
- show, exhibit, present (give an exhibition of)

I will bet on 10.
Wait, let's think if "shown in the table" might be "show in, or as in, a picture" (5)? No, a table is not a picture.
What about "indicate a certain reading; of gauges and instruments" (9)? No.
So 10 is the best fit.
Let's review the exact WordNet sense:
Verb: show
1. show, indicate -- (give evidence of, as of records; "The diary shows his distress that evening")
2. prove, demonstrate, show, establish -- (establish the validity of something, as by an example, explanation or experiment; "The experiment demonstrated the instability of the compound"; "The mathematician showed the validity of the conjecture")
...
6. show -- (provide evidence for; "The blood test showed that he was the father"; "Her behavior testified to her incompetence")

Yes, "give evidence of, as of records" applies perfectly to "table", "diary", "log", etc.
Therefore, 10.
I'll output 10.
