Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare law challengers as court takes case The day the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court. The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a conference to pour over the petitions for review. One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last <t>year</t>, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide. The justices agreed to hear the suit; indeed, a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March, and the outcome is likely to further roil the 2012 presidential race, which will be in full swing by the time the court's decision is released.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "year" in the context: "passed by Congress last <t>year</t>".
The context refers to a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days, specifically the calendar year before the current one.
Sense 1: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days. Examples: "she is 4 years old; in the year 1920".
Sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity. Examples: "a school year".

"last year" refers to the previous calendar year, which is a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "passed by Congress last year" -> a period of time containing 365 days.
Yes, sense 1.

The target word is "law" in the context: "a sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a <t>law</t> that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide."
The context refers to a specific legal document or statute passed by Congress (the healthcare overhaul).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. the collection of rules imposed by authority (jurisprudence)
2. legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity (e.g., there is a law against kidnapping)
3. natural law
4. law of nature
5. jurisprudence, legal philosophy
6. practice of law
7. police force

Sense 2 fits best: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity". The healthcare overhaul passed by Congress is a specific law (statute/legal document).
Wait, "a law that has been a rallying cry" refers to the specific statute (the Affordable Care Act).
Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity".
Let's double check.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: the collection of rules imposed by authority.
Sense 2: legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity.
The text says "a sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry..."
This refers to a specific law (a statute), which is a legal document setting forth rules.
Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the examples for sense 2: "there is a law against kidnapping".
Yes, a specific law passed by Congress.
I will choose sense 2.

The target word is "argument" in the context of a Supreme Court case.
Context: "a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March"
This refers to the oral argument before the Supreme Court, which is a discussion or debate where reasons are advanced for and against a proposition (the case).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence
2. a contentious speech act; a dispute where there is strong disagreement
3. a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal (argumentation, debate)
4. a summary of the subject or plot
5. computer science parameter
6. variable in a logical or mathematical expression
7. a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood

Sense 3 fits best: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal" (argumentation, debate). In legal contexts, an "argument" (like oral argument) is a formal discussion/debate where lawyers present reasons for and against a proposition.
Wait, let's double check sense 3 vs sense 7.
Sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal" -> synonyms: argumentation, debate.
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning" -> synonyms: argumentation, logical argument, line of reasoning, line.

In the context of the Supreme Court, "a landmark 5.5-hour argument" refers to the oral argument session, which is a formal discussion/debate.
Let's check WordNet for "argument" in legal context.
"oral argument" is a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition.
Sense 3 is "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal".
Yes, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's review the context: "a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March". This is the oral argument before the court. It is a discussion/debate.
Therefore, sense 3.
Let's confirm.
Sense 3: argument%1:10:00::
Definition: a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal
Synonyms: argumentation, debate
Examples: the argument over foreign aid goes on and on

Is there any other sense?
Sense 1: a fact or assertion offered as evidence. (No, 5.5-hour fact? No.)
Sense 2: a contentious speech act; a dispute. (No, it's a formal court proceeding, not a violent argument or just a dispute).
Sense 3: a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal. (Yes, oral argument).
Sense 7: a course of reasoning. (A 5.5-hour course of reasoning? No, it's the event/session of discussion/debate).

So sense 3 is the most appropriate.
I will output {"sense_index": 3}.

The context refers to the Supreme Court, an assembly of judges to conduct judicial business, or a tribunal that is presided over by judges who administer justice.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=court%1:14:00:: | definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature
8. sense_key=court%1:06:05:: | definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws | synonyms=lawcourt, court of law, court of justice

Wait, "the court's decision is released" refers to the institution or the assembly of judges.
Let's check the difference between 1 and 8.
Sense 1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business.
Sense 8: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws.
Actually, the Supreme Court is an assembly of judges. "the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges.
Let's see: "the court's decision is released"
Is it sense 1 or sense 8?
In WordNet, "court" as an assembly of judges is sense 1 (court%1:14:00::).
Wait, "court" as a tribunal is sense 8 (court%1:06:05::).
Let's look at the synonyms:
1: tribunal, judicature
8: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice

"the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges (the Supreme Court).
Let's check WordNet for "court" senses.
1. court, tribunal, judicature (an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business)
8. court, lawcourt, court of law, court of justice (a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws)

Wait, "the court's decision" - the court as an institution or assembly.
"Supreme Court" is often mapped to sense 1 (assembly of judges) or sense 8 (tribunal).
Let's look at the context: "the court's decision is released".
Is it sense 1 or 8?
"the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges.
Let's consider "Supreme Court" -> "court".
In WordNet, "Supreme Court" is a hyponym of "court" (sense 1 or 8?).
Actually, "court" (assembly) is sense 1.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: none given.
Sense 8: none given.
Wait, "the court's decision" - the court as an assembly of judges.
Let's search for "court" in similar contexts. "the court ruled" -> sense 1.
"the court's decision" -> sense 1.
Let's re-read the definitions.
1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business
8: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws

Is "Supreme Court" an assembly or a tribunal?
"tribunal" is in both definitions.
But sense 1 has "assembly (including one or more judges)".
"the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's think if 8 is better. "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"
"the court's decision" -> the court as an institution.
In many WSD datasets, "court" meaning the judicial body (like Supreme Court) is sense 1.
Let's check the exact WordNet hierarchy.
court%1:14:00:: -> assembly
court%1:06:05:: -> tribunal
Actually, "Supreme Court" is a hyponym of court%1:14:00::? No, "Supreme Court" is a hyponym of court%1:14:00:: or court%1:06:05::?
Let's guess 1. "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" fits "the court's decision" (the assembly's decision).
Let's consider "the court" referring to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is an assembly of judges.
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's look at the context again: "the court's decision is released".
Could it be 1? Yes.
Let's double check if 8 is "court of law". "court of law" is a physical place or the institution.
"the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges.
I'll output 1.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=court%1:14:00:: | definition=an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature
8. sense_key=court%1:06:05:: | definition=a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws | synonyms=lawcourt, court of law, court of justice

"the court's decision" -> the assembly of judges.
I will choose 1.
Wait, "tribunal" is a synonym for 1. "judicature" is a synonym for 1.
"lawcourt, court of law, court of justice" are synonyms for 8.
"the court's decision" -> the court as an assembly of judges.
I'll select 1.
Let's consider if "Supreme Court" is a "court of law" (8) or "assembly" (1).
"Supreme Court" is an assembly of judges.

Sense 2 fits best: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity". The healthcare law is a specific statute/document passed by Congress.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry... argue that the law should be thrown out".
This refers to a specific statute, which is a legal document setting forth rules.
Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity".
Let's double check if sense 1 is better. Sense 1 is "the collection of rules imposed by authority" (e.g., respect for the law). But here it's "the law" meaning the specific healthcare law (statute).
"legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" matches "a law that has been a rallying cry", "the law should be thrown out".
Yes, sense 2.
Let's review the examples for sense 2: "there is a law against kidnapping".
Is "healthcare law" a legal document? Yes, the Affordable Care Act is a statute, a legal document.
Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's consider sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority". "Civilization presupposes respect for the law". This is more abstract. The text says "a law that has been a rallying cry", "argue that the law should be thrown out". This refers to a specific law (the healthcare law).
So sense 2 is correct.
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.

Target lemma: dinner
Target surface form: dinner
Context:
The day the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama's healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court. The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a conference to pour over the petitions for review. One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide. The justices agreed to hear the suit; indeed, a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March, and the outcome is likely to further roil the 2012 presidential race, which will be in full swing by the time the court's decision is released. The lawyer who will stand before the court and argue that the law should be thrown out is likely to be Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general during the George W. Bush administration. Clement's law firm, Bancroft PLLC, was one of almost two dozen firms that helped sponsor the annual <t>dinner</t> of the Federalist Society, a longstanding group dedicated to advocating conservative legal principles. Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business.

The target word is "hours" in the context: "The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case."
The word "hours" here refers to a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day, specifically a duration of time (multiple hours).
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=hour%1:28:00:: | definition=a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day | synonyms=hr, 60 minutes | examples=the job will take more than an hour
2. sense_key=hour%1:28:01:: | definition=clock time | synonyms=time of day | examples=the hour is getting late
3. sense_key=hour%1:28:02:: | definition=a special and memorable period | examples=it was their finest hour
4. sense_key=hour%1:07:00:: | definition=distance measured by the time taken to cover it | synonyms=minute | examples=we live an hour from the airport; its just 10 minutes away

"hours after" means a duration of time, multiple periods of 60 minutes.
This matches sense 1: "a period of time equal to 1/24th of a day".

Let's double check.
"hours after" -> duration.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Sense 2 is clock time (e.g., "at what hour?").
Sense 3 is a special period.
Sense 4 is distance.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 1}.
