Target lemma: action
Target surface form: actions
Context:
Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those <t>actions</t> are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "actions" in the context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
The context discusses players choosing when to obey a sanction, which is a strategic decision. The "actions" refer to things done by the players (strategic decisions, acts).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. something done (usually as opposed to something said)
2. the state of being active
3. a military engagement
4. a process existing in or produced by nature
5. the series of events that form a plot
6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful
7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism
8. a judicial proceeding
9. an act by a government body or supranational organization
10. the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field

Sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - fits "actions" as acts or deeds done by the players.
Let's check the context again: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
The players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction, but rather chosen when to obey it.
So "actions" refers to the things they did (their acts/deeds).
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"something done (usually as opposed to something said)" -> "actions" = things done.
Yes, sense 1.
Context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit..."
Synonyms for sense 1: none listed, but definition is "something done".
Matches perfectly.
Sense 1.

The target word is "part" in the context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is <t>part</t> of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
The phrase is "part of the strategic decisions".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. something determined in relation to something that includes it (portion, component part, component, constituent) - "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself"
2. something less than the whole of a human artifact

Wait, "part of the strategic decisions" -> "part" as in a component or constituent.
Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> synonyms: portion, component part, component, constituent. Example: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself; I read a portion of the manuscript".
Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" -> synonyms: section, division. Example: "the written part of the exam; the finance section of the company".

Let's read the context again: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
Wait, "sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions..."
Actually, "part" here means a component or constituent.
Is it sense 1 or sense 9?
Sense 1: component part, constituent.
Sense 9: section, division.
"part of the strategic decisions" -> a component of the strategic decisions.
Let's check sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself".
Sense 12: "the part played by a person in bringing about a result" -> contribution, share.
Sense 1: "component part, component, constituent".
"part of the strategic decisions" -> a component of the strategic decisions.
Let's consider "part" as in "a part of".
"which is part of the strategic decisions" -> "which is a component of the strategic decisions".
Sense 1 fits "component part, component, constituent".
Let's check sense 1 vs sense 9.
Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" (portion, component part, component, constituent).
Sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole" (section, division).
"part of the strategic decisions" -> component part.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself".
"part of the strategic decisions" -> "a part of".
Yes, sense 1.
Let's double check sense 1.
"part%1:24:00::" -> component part, component, constituent.
"part%1:09:00::" -> section, division.

I'll go with 1.
Wait, let's re-read the sentence: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
"part" here means "a component".
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 12? "the part played by a person in bringing about a result" -> contribution, share. No.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm sense 1.
"part%1:24:00::"
Yes.

"strategic decisions" refers to choices or judgments made after consideration.
Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" fits "strategic decisions" perfectly.
Wait, let's re-read sense 1 and 2.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.
"strategic decisions" are judgments or choices reached after consideration.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition; his conclusion took the evidence into account".

"strategic decisions" are the choices themselves (the judgments reached), not just the act of making up one's mind.
Let's consider "strategic decisions" as "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration".
Yes, sense 2.
Let's double check.
"strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
These are choices or judgments.

Let's review the context again: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
"strategic decisions" = judgments or choices.

The target word is "assumption" in the context: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
The context talks about a strategic decision, taking advantage of rules, and the idea that players chose when to obey the sanction.
Wait, "Regarding this assumption" refers to the idea or premise that the players are taking advantage of the rules, or the premise that they are acting strategically.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn (premise, premiss)
2. a hypothesis that is taken for granted (supposition, supposal)
3. the act of taking possession of or power over something
4. celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...
5. (Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul...
6. audacious behavior...
7. the act of assuming or taking for granted

Wait, "Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this premise" or "Regarding this supposition".
Let's re-read the context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
Wait, "assumption" here might mean "premise" or "supposition".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn (premise, premiss).
Sense 2: a hypothesis that is taken for granted (supposition, supposal).
Sense 7: the act of assuming or taking for granted.

Let's look at the phrase "Regarding this assumption". It refers to the preceding idea: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
Wait, "assumption" here might be a translation of a Spanish word like "supuesto" (supposition, premise, assumption).
"Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this premise" or "Regarding this supposition".
Let's check 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".

Could it be sense 1? "premise"
Could it be sense 2? "supposition"
Let's see: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
If it's "premise", it fits well. "Regarding this premise..."
Let's consider "supposition". "Regarding this supposition..."
Actually, "assumption" in this context is a statement or idea that is taken as a basis for argument.
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: premise, premiss.
Synonyms for sense 2: supposition, supposal.
"Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this premise" makes a lot of sense. The author is stating a premise: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules." Then says "Regarding this assumption [premise], the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
Wait, "assumption" as "premise" is sense 1.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"assumption" = "premise" (sense 1).
"assumption" = "supposition" (sense 2).
In Spanish, "supuesto" can mean premise or assumption. "Respecto a este supuesto, los jugadores no actuaron..." -> "Regarding this assumption/premise..."
"Supuesto" is often translated as "assumption" or "premise".
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.
I think sense 1 is the best fit for "premise" or "statement assumed to be true".
Let's re-evaluate sense 1 vs sense 2.
"Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this premise".
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at 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".
Is it a hypothesis or a premise? The text says "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. Regarding this assumption..."
It's a premise. The author is building an argument.
I will go with sense 1.
Let's double check sense 1.
"on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play"
"Regarding this assumption, the players did not act..." -> "Regarding this premise, the players did not act..."
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, could it be sense 2? "any society is built upon certain assumptions"
"Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this supposition".
I think sense 1 is more appropriate for an argumentative context where a conclusion is drawn ("the players did not act in order to avoid... but rather chosen when to obey it").
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's look at the exact phrase: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
This is drawing a conclusion about the players' intent based on the premise/assumption that they are making strategic decisions within the rules.
I'll select 1.
Let's consider if "assumption" could mean "the act of assuming or taking for granted" (sense 7). "Regarding this act of assuming..." No, that doesn't fit.
So it's either 1 or 2.
Sense 1: premise, premiss.
Sense 2: supposition, supposal.
"premise" fits "Regarding this premise" perfectly.
I will output 1.

The target word is "application" in the context: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
The context talks about the "application of the sanction", which means the act of bringing the sanction to bear, using it, or putting it into operation.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=application%1:04:02:: | definition=the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose | synonyms=practical application | examples=he advocated the application of statistics to the problem; a novel application of electronics to medical diagnosis

Wait, "application of the sanction" means putting the sanction into operation or bringing it to bear.
Let's check sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose"
Let's check sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation"

Is "application of the sanction" more like "putting something into operation" (7) or "bringing something to bear" (1)?
"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation.
Wait, let's look at the examples for 7: "the application of maximum thrust; massage has far-reaching medical applications"
Let's look at the examples for 1: "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem; a novel application of electronics to medical diagnosis"

Actually, "application of a rule/sanction" is often "putting something into operation" or "bringing something to bear".
Let's consider "application of the sanction". A sanction is a rule or penalty. Putting it into operation.
Wait, let's look at WordNet.
application%1:04:00:: "the action of putting something into operation"
application%1:04:02:: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose"

"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation.
Let's search for "application of the sanction" or "application of a rule".
"application of the law" -> putting the law into operation.
"application of a sanction" -> putting a sanction into operation.
Let's check sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation".
Let's check sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose".

Is there a better fit?
"application of the sanction"
In WordNet, "application" (putting into operation) is often used for rules, laws, sanctions.
Let's look at the synonyms for 7: none listed, but examples are "the application of maximum thrust".
Wait, sense 1 has "practical application".
Sense 7 is "the action of putting something into operation".
"application of the sanction" = putting the sanction into operation.
Let's consider "application of the law" -> sense 7? Or sense 1?
Actually, "application" in the sense of "putting into operation" (7) is very close to "enforcement" or "implementation".
"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation.
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
"application of the sanction" -> the action of putting something into operation.
Let's look at sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation".
Let's look at sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose".

"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation.
I will go with 7.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
They chose when to obey it, meaning they didn't avoid the sanction being put into operation (applied to them).
"application" here means the act of applying the sanction, i.e., putting it into operation.
Sense 7: "the action of putting something into operation".
Sense 1: "the act of bringing something to bear; using it for a particular purpose".
"application of the sanction" -> putting the sanction into operation.
I'll select 7.
Wait, let's think if 1 is better. "bringing something to bear" - bringing the sanction to bear? No, "putting into operation" fits "application of a rule/sanction" better.
Let's check WordNet for "application of the law". It's often sense 7.
"application of a rule" -> sense 7.
I will choose 7.
Let's double check.
"application of the sanction"
Could it be 1? "he advocated the application of statistics to the problem"
"application of maximum thrust" (7)
"application of the sanction" is like "application of a rule".
I'll go with 7.
Wait, "application" as in "application of a penalty" is often "putting into operation".
Let's choose 7.

The target word is "decision" in the context: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
The context talks about players making a strategic choice or judgment about when to obey a sanction.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. the act of making up your mind about something (determination, conclusion)
2. a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration (determination, conclusion)
3. (boxing) a victory won on points
4. the outcome of a game or contest
5. the trait of resoluteness

"They made a strategic decision" refers to the act of making up their mind or a position/judgment reached after consideration.
Wait, "strategic decision" usually means a choice or judgment reached after consideration.
Let's check sense 1 vs sense 2.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something. Examples: the burden of decision was his.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration. Examples: a decision unfavorable to the opposition; his conclusion took the evidence into account.
"They made a strategic decision" -> they made a choice/judgment.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"strategic decision" is a choice made after consideration.
Let's see: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
"decision" here is the act of making up their mind or the choice itself.
Wait, "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" fits "strategic decision" well.
Let's look at similar examples. "make a decision" -> act of making up your mind.
"They made a strategic decision" -> they made a choice.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.
Actually, "decision" as "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" is often used for "a decision by the court", "a decision unfavorable to the opposition".
"make a decision" is usually sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Let's check WordNet:
decision%1:04:00:: the act of making up your mind about something
decision%1:09:00:: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration
In "They made a strategic decision", it's the act of making up their mind, or the choice.
Wait, "strategic decision" is a choice.
Let's consider "decision" in "make a decision". WordNet often maps "make a decision" to sense 1.
Let's look at the context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules. ... They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
Here, "decision" means a choice or judgment.
Is it sense 1 or 2?
"strategic decisions" -> choices.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.
I will go with sense 1 because "make a decision" is the act of making up your mind.
Wait, "a strategic decision" is a noun phrase. "They made a strategic decision".
Let's search for "strategic decision" in WordNet or similar datasets. It's often sense 1.
Let's re-read sense 1: "the act of making up your mind about something"
Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration"
"strategic decision" is a judgment or choice.
Actually, "decision" as "a choice" is sense 1. "The burden of decision was his" (act of making up your mind).
"They made a strategic decision" -> they chose.
I'll select 1.
Wait, let's think if 2 is better. "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration". "a decision unfavorable to the opposition". This is more like a ruling or a formal conclusion.
"strategic decision" is a choice made by the players. So sense 1 is better.
Let's double check.
"make a decision" -> sense 1.
"reach a decision" -> sense 1 or 2.
I will choose 1.
Let's review the context again: "They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."
Yes, sense 1.

The context discusses rules, sanctions, sporting spirit, and avoiding the application of the sanction.
"law fraud" refers to fraud against the law, or circumventing the rules/law.
Sense 1: the collection of rules imposed by authority.

Is it Sense 1? Yes, "law" here means the rules/law in general.
"legal fraud" is mentioned earlier: "this would have been a clear case of legal fraud".
"law fraud" is a translation of "fraude de ley", meaning circumventing the law.
So Sense 1 is the best fit.

The target word is "fraud" in the context: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
Wait, "law fraud" or "legal fraud" (the text says "law fraud" but earlier "legal fraud").
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=fraud%1:04:00:: | definition=intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. sense_key=fraud%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who makes deceitful pretenses | synonyms=imposter, impostor, pretender, fake, faker, sham
3. sense_key=fraud%1:04:01:: | definition=something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage | synonyms=fraudulence, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on

Context: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment. Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

The text talks about "legal fraud" and "law fraud" as a deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage (avoiding the application of the sanction).
Sense 1: intentional deception resulting in injury to another person.
Sense 3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.

Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"legal fraud" -> deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.
Let's check the synonyms for sense 3: fraudulence, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on.
Wait, "legal fraud" is an act of fraud.
Sense 1: intentional deception resulting in injury to another person.
Sense 3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.

In the context, "this would have been a clear case of legal fraud" -> a case of deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.
Let's see: "something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" fits "a clear case of legal fraud" better than "intentional deception resulting in injury to another person", because the focus is on gaining an advantage (avoiding the sanction) rather than injuring another person.
Also, the text says "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
So "deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage" (sense 3) is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"this would have been a clear case of legal fraud"
Sense 3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.
Sense 1: intentional deception resulting in injury to another person.

I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's look at the exact wording: "deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage". The context says "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
Yes, sense 3 is the best fit.
Another option: "legal fraud" is an act, so "something intended to deceive".
I'll go with 3.

Target lemma: occasion
Target surface form: occasion
Context:
But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules.

The target word is "occasion" in the context: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this <t>occasion</t> I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
The phrase is "in this occasion", which means "in this instance" or "in this case" or "at this time/event".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. an event that occurs at a critical time (juncture)
2. a vaguely specified social event (affair, social occasion)
3. reason
4. the time of a particular event (on the occasion of his 60th birthday)
5. an opportunity to do something

Wait, "in this occasion" is often used to mean "in this instance" or "in this case".
Let's re-read the context: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
Is it "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture)? Or "the time of a particular event"? Or "an opportunity to do something"?
Actually, "in this occasion" is a slightly non-native phrasing for "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave; it was needed only on special occasions".
Sense 4: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday".
Sense 5: "there was never an occasion for her to demonstrate her skill".
Wait, sense 1 is "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture).
Is "in this occasion" meaning "in this instance/case"?
Let's consider "occasion" as "an event that occurs at a critical time" or "a vaguely specified social event" or "reason" or "the time of a particular event" or "an opportunity to do something".
Wait, "in this occasion" -> "in this instance".
Let's look at WordNet for "occasion".
Sense 1: an event that occurs at a critical time. (juncture)
Sense 2: a vaguely specified social event.
Sense 3: reason.
Sense 4: the time of a particular event.
Sense 5: an opportunity to do something.

"in this occasion" -> "in this instance" -> "in this case".
Is it sense 1? "at such junctures" -> "in this occasion".
Or sense 4? "the time of a particular event".
Or sense 5? "an opportunity to do something".
Let's search for "in this occasion" in WordNet or similar corpora. It's often a translation of "en esta ocasión" (Spanish), meaning "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
If it means "in this instance", it aligns with "an event that occurs at a critical time" or "the time of a particular event".
Wait, "in this occasion" is used to refer to the specific situation or event being discussed (the strategic decision to get auto-expulsions).
Let's look at sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time". Synonyms: juncture. Examples: "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave; it was needed only on special occasions".
Sense 4: "the time of a particular event". Examples: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday".
Sense 5: "an opportunity to do something". Examples: "there was never an occasion for her to demonstrate her skill".

"in this occasion" -> "in this instance".
Is "instance" closer to sense 1 or sense 4?
Actually, "occasion" as "instance" or "case" is often mapped to sense 1 (juncture) or sense 4 (time of a particular event).
Let's consider "in this occasion" as "in this case" or "in this instance".
Wait, "occasion" meaning "a particular time or instance of an event".
WordNet sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture).
WordNet sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
Let's look at the Spanish original: "en esta ocasión".
"en esta ocasión" = "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
If it's "in this instance", it refers to the specific situation/event.
Let's check sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
Let's check sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
"in this occasion" -> "in this instance".
Is there a sense for "instance"?
WordNet "occasion" senses:
1. an event that occurs at a critical time (juncture)
2. a vaguely specified social event (affair, social occasion, function, social function)
3. reason
4. the time of a particular event
5. an opportunity to do something

"in this occasion" -> "in this instance".
If I have to choose between 1 and 4.
"in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
This refers to the specific situation or event (the players' action).
"in this occasion" is a bit of a calque from Spanish "en esta ocasión", which means "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
"on this occasion" usually maps to sense 4: "the time of a particular event" (e.g., "on the occasion of his 60th birthday").
But "in this instance" might map to sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture).
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: juncture.
"in this juncture" -> "in this occasion".
Let's look at sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
"in this occasion" -> "at this time".
Actually, "occasion" in "in this occasion" is used to mean "case" or "instance".
Let's consider "occasion" as "an event that occurs at a critical time" (sense 1).
Wait, "in this occasion" is often used to mean "in this case".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "it was needed only on special occasions".
"in this occasion" -> "on this occasion".
I will go with sense 1 because "in this occasion" refers to the specific event/situation (the players' action) which is a critical juncture or instance.
Wait, let's rethink: "in this occasion" = "in this instance".
Is "instance" sense 1?
WordNet: occasion (n)
1. an event that occurs at a critical time; "at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave"; "it was needed only on special occasions"
2. a vaguely specified social event; "the party was quite an affair"; "an occasion arranged to honor the president"
3. reason; "there was no occasion for complaint"
4. the time of a particular event; "on the occasion of his 60th birthday"
5. an opportunity to do something; "there was never an occasion for her to demonstrate her skill"

"in this occasion" -> "in this instance".
If it means "in this instance", it's referring to the event/situation.
"in this occasion" is a slight misuse of "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
If it's "on this occasion", it's sense 4.
If it's "in this instance", it's sense 1.
"in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
"case" is synonymous with "instance".
"in this instance" -> sense 1 (juncture, instance).
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 again: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
Does the context imply a critical time? "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
It refers to the specific situation or case.
"in this occasion" = "in this case".
Is "case" sense 1? Yes, "case" or "instance" is often mapped to sense 1.
Let's consider sense 4: "the time of a particular event". "on the occasion of his 60th birthday". This is more about the timing.
Here, "in this occasion" means "in this situation/case".
So sense 1 is better.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
No, 1 is the best fit for "instance" or "case".
"in this occasion" -> "in this instance" -> sense 1.
I will output 1.
Wait, "in this occasion" could be "on this occasion" (sense 4). But "in this occasion" is used with "in", which aligns with "in this instance" or "in this case".
"in this case" -> sense 1.
I'll go with 1.
Let's review the context: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
"in this occasion" = "in this instance".
Sense 1: an event that occurs at a critical time. Synonyms: juncture.
Yes, "juncture" or "instance".
I'll output 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "expulsions" in the context of sports, specifically referring to "two auto expulsions" (likely red cards or ejections from a game).
The context mentions "sporting spirit", "sanction", "punishment", "players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction".
Sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something (ejection, exclusion, riddance). Example: the child's expulsion from school. This fits the context of players being expelled from a game (ejection).
Sense 2: squeezing out by applying pressure (extrusion). Not applicable.
Sense 3: the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting (projection, ejection, forcing out). This is more about physical projection or ejection, but Sense 1 is specifically about forcing out someone or something, like exclusion from a group or school, which aligns perfectly with sports ejections. Wait, let's look at the synonyms. Sense 1 has "exclusion", "riddance", "ejection". Sense 3 has "projection", "ejection", "forcing out".
In sports, an expulsion is an ejection or exclusion from the game. Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "auto expulsions" -> automatic ejections.
Sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something.
Sense 3: the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting.
Sense 1 is more about social/institutional forcing out (school, police), which matches sports sanctions.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "way" in the context: "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the <t>way</t> the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
The phrase is "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out".
This refers to *how* the transmission was carried out.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=way%1:07:01:: | definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion | examples=her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking
2. sense_key=way%1:04:01:: | definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency | examples=a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction
3. sense_key=way%1:15:00:: | definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction | examples=he looked the other direction; didn't know the way home
...
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "how something is done or how it happens" -> "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out" = the manner in which the transmission was carried out.

Let's double check.
"the way the transmission of the directive was carried out" -> the manner/mode/style/fashion in which it was carried out.
Sense 1: how something is done or how it happens.
Sense 2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (means, agency).
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's confirm the index.
1. sense_key=way%1:07:01::
Index is 1.
End of thought.
