Context:
Iraqi Oil Ministry reaches deals with 10 foreign oil companies Despite concerns about violence and political instability, the Iraqi government managed to attract major oil companies to rebuild its ailing infrastructure during two auctions that concluded Saturday. The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that China, Russia and European oil firms are poised to play a major role in refurbishing Iraq's oil industry, crippled by decades of war and sanctions.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "deals" in the context: "The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that China, Russia and European oil firms are poised to play a major role in refurbishing Iraq's oil industry..."
The context is about agreements or contracts reached between the Iraqi Oil Ministry and foreign oil companies.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=deal%1:04:02:: | definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | synonyms=trade, business deal | examples=it was a package deal; I had no further trade with him
2. sense_key=deal%1:10:00:: | definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | synonyms=bargain | examples=he made a bargain with the devil; he rose to prominence through a series of shady deals
Wait, "reached with foreign oil companies" -> "reached deals".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: a particular instance of buying or selling.
Sense 2: an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each.
"reached deals" -> "reached an agreement".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "he rose to prominence through a series of shady deals".
Wait, sense 1 is "a particular instance of buying or selling". The context is about oil companies getting stakes in auctioned fields. "The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies..."
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"reached deals" -> "reached an agreement".
Let's look at sense 1: "a particular instance of buying or selling".
Let's look at sense 2: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each".
In WordNet, "deal" as in "business deal" is often sense 1.
Wait, let's search for "reached deals". "reached a deal" is a common collocation for "agreement".
Let's check the synonyms for sense 1: trade, business deal.
Synonyms for sense 2: bargain.
"deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies" -> agreements.
Let's consider "business deal" (sense 1). "The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached..."
Actually, "deal" in the sense of "business deal" is sense 1.
Let's check WordNet:
deal%1:04:02:: "a particular instance of buying or selling" -> trade, business deal.
deal%1:10:00:: "an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each" -> bargain.
Is "reached a deal" an agreement? Yes.
But is it a business deal? Yes, "business deal" is explicitly in sense 1.
Let's look at the context: "The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that China, Russia and European oil firms are poised to play a major role..."
"deals" here refers to the contracts/agreements for the oil fields.
In WordNet, "business deal" is sense 1.
Let's see: "it was a package deal; I had no further trade with him"
"he made a bargain with the devil; he rose to prominence through a series of shady deals"
"reached deals" -> "reached agreements".
I think sense 1 is "business deal", which fits perfectly with "oil companies", "auctions", "bids".
Wait, sense 1 is "a particular instance of buying or selling".
Sense 2 is "an agreement between parties...".
Is "deal" in "reached a deal" sense 1 or 2?
Often, "make a deal" or "reach a deal" is sense 1 (business deal).
Let's check the exact WordNet definition for deal%1:04:02::
"a particular instance of buying or selling"
Synonyms: trade, business deal.
"deal%1:10:00::"
"an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each"
Synonyms: bargain.
In the context of oil auctions, it's a business deal (buying or selling stakes in fields).
"American companies walked away with stakes in just two of the 10 auctioned fields."
This is buying/selling. So sense 1 is highly appropriate.
Let's double check if "business deal" is sense 1. Yes, "trade, business deal".
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies..."
Could it be sense 1? Yes.
Let's consider sense 1.
"deal" as in "business deal".
I'll go with 1.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=deal%1:04:02:: | definition=a particular instance of buying or selling | synonyms=trade, business deal
2. sense_key=deal%1:10:00:: | definition=an agreement between parties (usually arrived at after discussion) fixing obligations of each | synonyms=bargain
Since it's about auctions, stakes, bids, it's buying/selling. So sense 1 is the best fit.
I will output 1.

Sense 14: "a geographic region (land or sea) under which something valuable is found" with example "the diamond fields of South Africa". This perfectly matches "oil fields".

Let's double check.
"American companies walked away with stakes in just two of the 10 auctioned fields."
"Two American companies reached deals for fields auctioned in June."
These are oil fields.
Sense 14 is the best fit.

Target lemma: representation
Target surface form: representation
Context:
The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that China, Russia and European oil firms are poised to play a major role in refurbishing Iraq's oil industry, crippled by decades of war and sanctions. American companies walked away with stakes in just two of the 10 auctioned fields. Seven American companies had paid to participate in the second auction, which began Friday. The only one that submitted a bid lost. Two American companies reached deals for fields auctioned in June. The meager <t>representation</t> of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts. Iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war, and instead of U.S. companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way, said Ruba Husari, the editor of Iraq Oil Forum, an online news outlet.

Wait, none of these perfectly match "presence" or "proportion". Let's re-read the senses.
Is there a sense for "presence" or "proportion"?
Let's check the context again: "The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts."
Could it be sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"? No.
Could it be sense 4: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"? No.
Could it be sense 10: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"? No.
Wait, let's look at the WordNet senses for "representation".
Is there a sense for "proportion" or "presence"?
Let's check sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf" - maybe?
Wait, if American oil giants are "represented" in the industry, it means they have a presence or share.
Let's look at sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Wait, maybe sense 3 is the closest? Or maybe sense 4?
Let's search for "representation" in WordNet.
representation%1:04:01:: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
representation%1:04:00:: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"
representation%1:06:00:: "a creation that is a visual or tangible rendering of someone or something"

representation%1:14:00:: "a body of legislators that serve in behalf of some constituency"
representation%1:26:00:: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"

Wait, what if "representation" here means "the act of representing" or "the state of being represented"?
Actually, "representation" in the sense of "presence" or "proportion" might be mapped to sense 3 or 4.
Let's consider "representation" as "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf". No, that's political or legal.
What about "representation" as "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"?
Let's look at the synonyms for representation in WordNet.
Is there a sense for "proportion"? No.
Maybe sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Wait, "representation" can mean "the number or proportion of people or things in a group or place". But that's not explicitly in the definitions.
Let's re-read the definitions.
1. mental representation
2. visual or tangible rendering
3. the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf
4. the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent
5. a body of legislators
6. a factual statement
7. a performance of a play
8. a statement of facts and reasons
9. the right of being represented by delegates
10. an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent

Could it be 3? "The meager representation of American oil giants..." -> the act of representing? No, it's the presence.
Wait, let's look at sense 3 again. "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
What about sense 4? "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent".
What about sense 10? "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent".
Is there any other sense?
Let's search for "representation" in WordNet.
representation%1:04:01:: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
representation%1:04:00:: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"
representation%1:06:00:: "a creation that is a visual or tangible rendering of someone or something"

representation%1:14:00:: "a body of legislators that serve in behalf of some constituency"
representation%1:26:00:: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"

Wait, maybe "representation" here is sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf". No, that doesn't fit "meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry".
What if it's sense 3, but the definition is just "the act of representing"?
Let's consider "representation" as "the proportion of a group or class in a larger whole". WordNet might not have this exact definition, but maybe it's grouped under sense 3 or 4?
Actually, what if it's sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Let's check the examples for representation.
"the representation of women in parliament" -> this is often sense 3 or 4.
In WordNet, "representation" meaning "the proportion of a group or class in a larger whole" might be under sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf" or sense 4: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent".
Wait, sense 3 is "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Sense 4 is "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent".
Let's look at sense 3 again. "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Is there a sense for "presence"?
Let's search my internal knowledge for WordNet "representation".
representation%1:04:01:: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
representation%1:04:00:: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"
representation%1:06:00:: "a creation that is a visual or tangible rendering of someone or something"

representation%1:14:00:: "a body of legislators that serve in behalf of some constituency"
representation%1:26:00:: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"

Wait, could it be sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Or sense 4? "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"
Or maybe sense 10? "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"
Let's think about "representation" in the context of "meager representation of American oil giants". This means they have a small presence or share.
In WordNet, "representation" can mean "the number or proportion of people or things in a group or place". Which sense is that?
Let's check the hypernyms.
representation%1:04:01:: -> act, human action, human activity
representation%1:04:00:: -> activity
representation%1:06:00:: -> creation
representation%1:07:00:: -> right
representation%1:09:00:: -> presentation
representation%1:10:00:: -> statement
representation%1:10:01:: -> performance
representation%1:10:02:: -> statement
representation%1:14:00:: -> body
representation%1:26:00:: -> state

If it means "presence" or "proportion", it might be mapped to sense 3 (act of representing) or sense 4 (state of serving as delegate). But "American oil giants" are not delegates. They are just present.
Wait, "representation" can also mean "the act of representing" in a broader sense, like "the representation of a group in a population".
Let's look at sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf". This is very specific to speaking with authority.
What about sense 4: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent". Also specific.
What about sense 10: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent".
Is there any other sense?
Let's reconsider the definition of sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Maybe sense 3 is the best fit because "representing" a group (American oil giants) in the industry.
Wait, let's search for "representation" in WordNet 3.1.
Senses of representation:
1. representation (a presentation to the mind in the form of an idea or image)
2. representation (a creation that is a visual or tangible rendering of someone or something)

8. representation (a statement of facts and reasons made in appealing or protesting)
9. representation (the right of being represented by delegates who have a voice in some legislative body)
10. representation (an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent)

Wait, is there a sense for "proportion"?
Let's check the synonyms for representation.
Maybe "representation" in this context is sense 3. "The meager representation of American oil giants..." -> the act of representing them.
Or maybe sense 4? "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent".
Let's look at the phrase "representation of American oil giants". This is like "representation of women in parliament". In WordNet, "representation of women in parliament" is often sense 3 or 4.
Actually, if I look up "representation" in WordNet, sense 3 is "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Sense 4 is "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent".
Is there a sense for "presence"? No.
Let's consider sense 3. "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Wait, could it be sense 3? "the act of representing"
Let's consider sense 10: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent".
What about sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Let's think if "representation" here means "the act of representing". Yes, the companies are representing American interests, or they are the representation of American oil giants.
Actually, the phrase "representation of [group]" usually maps to sense 3 in WordNet when it refers to the presence or proportion of that group.
Let's check if there's any other sense.
"representation" -> "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Let's choose sense 3.

Wait, let's look at the context again: "The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts."
Could it be sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Or sense 4? "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"
Or sense 10? "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent"
Let's search for "meager representation" in WordNet examples. No examples.
But "representation of women" is a common example for sense 3.
Let's assume sense 3.

Let's rethink: does "representation" here mean "the act of representing"?
"The meager representation of American oil giants..." -> the fact that they are represented.
Sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf"
Sense 4: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent"
Sense 9: "the right of being represented by delegates who have a voice in some legislative body"
Sense 3 seems the most general for "the act of representing" a group.

Let's check sense 3 again. "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Is there any chance it's sense 10? "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent". No.
I will go with sense 3.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for sense 3: none listed in the prompt, but maybe "delegation"? No, that's sense 4 (delegacy, agency).
What if it's sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Let's consider "representation" as "presence". WordNet might not have a perfect sense, but sense 3 is the closest to "the act of representing [a group]".
I'll output 3.
Let me double check sense 3 vs sense 4.
Sense 4: "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent" (delegacy, agency). This is more about the state of being an agent.
Sense 3: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf". This fits "representation of American oil giants" better, as they are standing in for American interests or just representing that group.
I'll choose 3.
Wait, let's read the definition of sense 3 carefully: "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Does "American oil giants" stand in for someone? No, they are the group being represented, or they are the ones present.
Actually, if the text says "representation of American oil giants", it means the presence of American oil giants.
Is there a sense for "presence"?
Let's look at sense 10: "an activity that stands as an equivalent of something or results in an equivalent".
What about sense 3? "the act of representing; standing in for someone or some group and speaking with authority in their behalf".
Maybe sense 3 is the intended one for "representation of [group]".
I will choose 3.
Let's consider if "representation" could be sense 4. "the state of serving as an official and authorized delegate or agent". No, oil companies are not delegates.
I'll go with 3.

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "doors" in the context: "Iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war, and instead of U.S. companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way..."
The phrase "opened its doors" is an idiom meaning to provide a means of access, to allow entry, or to become open to something (like business, investment, or participation).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a swinging or sliding barrier...
2. the entrance (the space in a wall)...
3. anything providing a means of access (or escape) | examples=we closed the door to Haitian immigrants; education is the door to success
4. a structure where people live or work...
5. a room that is entered via a door...

Sense 3 fits perfectly: "anything providing a means of access (or escape)". The example "we closed the door to Haitian immigrants" is very similar to "opened its doors" in a metaphorical sense of allowing access to a country or industry.

Therefore, sense 3 is the best match.
Checking the constraints: Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.
I will output {"sense_index": 3}.

The target word is "news" in the context: "...Ruba Husari, the editor of Iraq Oil Forum, an online news outlet."
The phrase is "online news outlet".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. information about recent and important events (intelligence, tidings, word)
2. information reported in a newspaper or news magazine
3. a program devoted to current events, often using interviews and commentary (news program, news show)
4. informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone
5. the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins (newsworthiness)

Wait, "news outlet" refers to an organization that reports news. The word "news" here modifies "outlet".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: information about recent and important events.
Sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.
Let's check WordNet for "news outlet".
Actually, "news" in "news outlet" or "news agency" usually refers to sense 1 or 2.
Let's look at the definition of sense 1: "information about recent and important events".
Sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Wait, an "online news outlet" is an organization that provides news (information about recent and important events).
Let's consider "news" as a mass noun modifying "outlet".
Is it sense 1? "intelligence, tidings, word"
Let's search for "news" in WordNet.
news%1:10:00:: information about recent and important events
news%1:10:01:: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine
news%1:10:02:: a program devoted to current events
news%1:10:03:: informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone
news%1:07:00:: the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins

In "online news outlet", "news" means information about recent and important events.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "news agency", "news service".
Usually, "news" in "news agency" is sense 1.
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
"news" (1) information about recent and important events.
"news" (2) information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.
"news" (3) a program devoted to current events.
"news" (4) informal information.
"news" (5) newsworthiness.

"online news outlet" -> an outlet for news (information about recent and important events).
I will choose sense 1.
Let's double check.
"news" in "news outlet" -> sense 1.
Wait, could it be sense 1? Yes.
Let's review the definition of sense 1: "information about recent and important events".
Synonyms: intelligence, tidings, word.
Examples: they awaited news of the outcome.

Is there any chance it's sense 2? "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine". An online news outlet is not necessarily a newspaper or news magazine, it's a broader category. Sense 1 is more general and fits "news outlet" better.
Let's go with 1.
Wait, let's think if "news" as a modifier in "news outlet" is sense 1.
Yes, "news" = information about recent and important events.
I'll select 1.

The target word is "Concerns" in the context: "Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq..."
The context talks about "Concerns over security" and "political instability" keeping companies away.
This means "Concerns" refers to something that causes anxiety or a source of worry.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. something that interests you because it is important or affects you
2. an anxious feeling (care, fear)
3. a feeling of sympathy for someone or something
4. something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness (worry, headache, vexation)

Sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" synonyms: worry, headache, vexation. Examples: "New York traffic is a constant concern; it's a major worry".
Sense 2: "an anxious feeling" synonyms: care, fear.
Is "concerns" here the feeling or the source of anxiety? "Concerns over security" -> worries about security. "Worry" is a synonym for sense 4.
Let's check sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness". "New York traffic is a constant concern". Here, "concerns over security" means "worries about security".
Wait, sense 4 is "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".
Is "concerns" the feeling or the thing? "Concerns over security" -> "worries over security".
Let's see: "Concerns over security... likely kept American oil companies from venturing..."
If it's "worries", it's sense 4.
Let's check sense 4 again: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness".
Wait, "concern" as "worry" (noun).
"Concerns over security" = "worries about security".
Synonyms for sense 4: worry, headache, vexation.
Synonyms for sense 2: care, fear.
"Concerns" in this context is plural, "worries".
"New York traffic is a constant concern" -> sense 4.
"Concerns over security" -> security is the source, or the concerns are the worries.
I will choose sense 4.
Let's double check.
"Concerns over security" -> "worries over security".
Sense 4: "something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness" -> "worry".
Yes, sense 4 fits best.

1. something that interests you because it is important or affects you
2. an anxious feeling
3. a feeling of sympathy
4. something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness
5. a commercial or industrial enterprise

"Concerns over security" -> "worries over security".
Sense 4 is the best fit.
Another example: "The main concern is the cost." -> source of anxiety.

The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq's opening oil industry surprised analysts. Iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war, and instead of U.S. companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way, said Ruba Husari, the editor of Iraq Oil Forum, an online news outlet. It will be a long time before anything else will be on offer in Iraq. Concerns over <t>security</t>, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq, which has the world's third-largest proven crude reserves, analysts said. U.S. firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals, particularly the Chinese and other government controlled energy firms, have markedly lower labor costs and are more prone to take risks because they don't respond to shareholders.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the U.S. military withdraws, likely kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq..."
The word "security" here refers to the state of being free from danger or injury, specifically physical safety from bombings and political instability.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=security%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being free from danger or injury | examples=we support the armed services in the name of national security
2. sense_key=security%1:21:01:: | definition=defense against financial failure; financial independence
3. sense_key=security%1:12:00:: | definition=freedom from anxiety or fear
4. sense_key=security%1:21:04:: | definition=a formal declaration that documents a fact of relevance to finance and investment
5. sense_key=security%1:21:00:: | definition=property that your creditor can claim in case you default on your obligation
6. sense_key=security%1:14:00:: | definition=a department responsible for the security of the institution's property and workers
7. sense_key=security%1:10:00:: | definition=a guarantee that an obligation will be met
8. sense_key=security%1:06:00:: | definition=an electrical device that sets off an alarm when someone tries to break in
9. sense_key=security%1:04:00:: | definition=measures taken as a precaution against theft or espionage or sabotage etc.

Sense 1 fits best: "the state of being free from danger or injury". The context mentions "massive coordinated bombings" and "political instability", which are dangers/injuries.
Wait, let's double check if 1 is the best.
"Concerns over security" -> concerns over the state of being free from danger or injury.
Yes, sense 1.
Let's review the options.
1: state of being free from danger or injury.
9: measures taken as a precaution against theft or espionage or sabotage etc.
The context says "Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday". This refers to the general state of safety/danger, not just specific measures. "national security" is an example of sense 1.
So sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
