reasoning_content:
The target word is "news" in the context: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant <t>news</t> was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view..."
The context talks about "instant news" compared to "reports delivered more slowly", referring to information reported in a newspaper or news magazine, or more broadly, information about recent and important events.
Wait, 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 (the news of my death was greatly exaggerated)
3. a program devoted to current events (news program, news show)
4. informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone (it was news to me)
5. the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins (newsworthiness)

"the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly"
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.
"reports delivered more slowly" implies news reports, which aligns with sense 2 (information reported in a newspaper or news magazine) or sense 1.
Wait, "instant news" vs "reports delivered more slowly". "reports" is a synonym for news in sense 2? No, "reports" is used in the context.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated".
Let's check sense 1: "they awaited news of the outcome".
"news media continually fanned the flames"
"Twitter coverage" -> "instant news"
Is "news" here sense 1 or 2?
"information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" - wait, Twitter is not a newspaper or news magazine. But "reports delivered more slowly" refers to traditional news media.
Let's consider "information about recent and important events" (sense 1).
Actually, "instant news" refers to the information itself.
Let's look at similar examples. "news" as in "reports".
Sense 1: information about recent and important events.
Sense 2: information reported in a newspaper or news magazine.
In WordNet, sense 1 is "information about recent and important events".
Sense 2 is "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
"reports delivered more slowly" -> "reports" is a key word.
Wait, "instant news" is contrasted with "reports delivered more slowly".
Could it be sense 1? "information about recent and important events".
Let's search for "instant news" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, the phrase "instant news" might just be sense 1.
Let's re-read the context: "the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly"
"reports" is a synonym for sense 2? No, sense 2 doesn't have "reports" as a synonym, but the definition says "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
Wait, sense 1 definition: "information about recent and important events".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: intelligence, tidings, word.
Synonyms for sense 2: none listed, but examples: "the news of my death was greatly exaggerated".
Is "instant news" sense 1 or 2?
"news" in "instant news" refers to the information about recent events.
Let's consider sense 1.
Wait, "reports delivered more slowly" -> "reports" is a form of news.
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the exact phrase "instant news".
In many WSD datasets, "news" in the context of media coverage is often sense 1 or 2.
"the news of my death was greatly exaggerated" (sense 2).
"they awaited news of the outcome" (sense 1).
Here, "instant news" is the information being reported.
Let's go with sense 1.
Wait, "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" (sense 2). The context mentions "news media", "journalists", "reports". This strongly points to sense 2, which is specifically about reported information in media.
Let's check the definition of sense 2: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine".
But Twitter is not a newspaper or news magazine. However, the contrast is with "reports delivered more slowly" (i.e., traditional newspaper/magazine reports).
Let's consider sense 1: "information about recent and important events". This is more general and fits "instant news" (information about recent events delivered instantly).
Let's look at the SemCor or OntoNotes annotations for "news".
"the news media continually fanned the flames" -> news (adj? no, noun adjunct).
"instant news" -> noun.
I will guess sense 1.
Let's rethink: "information reported in a newspaper or news magazine" is sense 2.
"information about recent and important events" is sense 1.
"the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly"
"reports" is a keyword. "information reported..." -> sense 2.
Let's choose sense 1 because "instant news" is about the information itself, not necessarily the medium, although it contrasts with traditional reports.
Actually, in WordNet, sense 1 is the most common for "news" as information.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, "reports delivered more slowly" -> "reports" is a synonym for news? No.
Let's choose 1.
Let's consider if "news" here means "information about recent and important events". Yes, the trial is a recent and important event.
I'll go with 1.

Sense 1 is a written document describing findings (study).
Sense 2 is the act of informing by verbal report.
Sense 3 is a short account of the news.
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.

The target word is "view" in the context: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite <t>view</t> that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."
The word "view" here refers to a way of regarding situations or topics, a position, or a perspective.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=view%1:09:02:: | definition=a way of regarding situations or topics etc. | synonyms=position, perspective | examples=consider what follows from the positivist view

"a Luddite view" -> a Luddite perspective or position.
Sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc." (position, perspective). This fits perfectly with "Luddite view" (a Luddite perspective/position).
Let's double check. "Luddite view" means a Luddite perspective or position on the issue.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's review the definition of sense 1: "a way of regarding situations or topics etc."

Example: "consider what follows from the positivist view"
This matches "Luddite view" perfectly.
Sense 5 is "opinion, sentiment, persuasion, thought" - personal belief or judgment.

Yes, "Luddite view" = Luddite perspective.

The target word is "court" in the context: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
The context is about "appeals courts" and "adaptation by the courts", referring to the judicial bodies or tribunals that 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, "appeals courts" and "adaptation by the courts".
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.

Let's read the context again: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
Is it sense 1 or sense 8?
"appeals courts" -> court of law, court of justice.
Let's check the difference between 1 and 8.
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.

Wait, "appeals courts" is a specific type of court of law.
Let's see: "adaptation by the courts" -> the institution of the court of law.
Sense 8: "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.
Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
Synonyms: tribunal, judicature.

In WordNet, "court" as in "court of law" is often sense 8.
Let's check the examples for 8: none given, but synonyms are "lawcourt, court of law, court of justice".
"appeals courts" -> court of law.
Let's consider "adaptation by the courts". This refers to the institution, the court of law.
Sense 8 is "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".
Sense 1 is "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
"appeals courts" are courts of law.
I will choose 8.
Wait, let's look at the context: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
"courts" here means the judicial system or courts of law.
Sense 8 fits "court of law".
Let's double check if there's any other.
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, "appeals courts" is a compound, but "the courts" refers to the institution.
I'll go with 8.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
I will output {"sense_index": 8}.
Wait, could it be 1? "an assembly ... to conduct judicial business". "adaptation by the courts" -> the courts as institutions.
In WordNet, "court" (lawcourt) is 8.
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
court n
1. (1) court, tribunal, judicature -- (an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business)
2. (1) courtroom, court -- (a room in which a lawcourt sits)
3. (1) court -- (the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state)
4. (1) court -- (a specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played)
5. (1) Court, Margaret Court -- (Australian woman tennis player who won many major championships (born in 1947))
6. (1) court -- (the family and retinue of a sovereign or prince)
7. (1) motor hotel, motor inn, motor lodge, tourist court, court -- (a hotel for motorists; provides direct access from rooms to parking area)
8. (1) lawcourt, court of law, court, 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)
9. (1) court -- (the residence of a sovereign or nobleman)
10. (1) courtyard, court -- (an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings)
11. (1) court, homage -- (respectful deference)

"appeals courts" -> court of law.
"adaptation by the courts" -> court of law.
So sense 8 is the best fit.
I will output 8.

"court policy" refers to a plan of action or rule adopted by the court (a social group/institution) governing coverage of future trials.

They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate. They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case. "The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide."

reasoning_content:
The target word is "arguments" in the context: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
The context is about lawyers presenting claims or reasons to the appeals courts.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true (synonyms: statement)
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
4. a summary of the subject or plot of a literary work or play or movie
5. (computer science) a reference or value that is passed to a function
6. a variable in a logical or mathematical expression
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)

Wait, "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
Is it sense 1 (a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true) or sense 7 (a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood)?
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true". This matches "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
Let's check sense 7: "I can't follow your line of reasoning".
In legal contexts, an "argument" is often a claim or assertion offered as evidence or a reason. "arguments that..." usually means assertions or claims.
Let's re-read sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
"arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts" -> assertions that...
Let's look at sense 1 vs sense 7.
Sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true"
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood"
"arguments that..." is typically sense 1. "an argument that X is Y" -> an assertion that X is Y.
Let's check WordNet for "argument" sense 1: "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true". Example: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".
This perfectly matches "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."

Let's double check.
"appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
Here, "arguments" means assertions or claims.
Sense 1 is "a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true".
Sense 7 is "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood".
The phrase "arguments that [proposition]" strongly aligns with sense 1, as in the example "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".

Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=argument%1:10:02:: | definition=a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true | synonyms=statement | examples=it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true
7. sense_key=argument%1:09:01:: | definition=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 | examples=I can't follow your line of reasoning

The context says "attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts." This is an assertion/claim. So sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's confirm.
"argument" as a claim or assertion.
Yes, sense 1.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
Wait, let's consider if "argument" here means a line of reasoning (sense 7). "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that..." - it could be lines of reasoning. But "argument that [clause]" is the classic pattern for sense 1 (assertion).
Example for sense 1: "it was a strong argument that his hypothesis was true".
Context: "arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
This is exactly the same syntactic and semantic pattern.
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "changes" in the context: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
The context refers to "social and technological changes", which means alterations or modifications in society and technology.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=change%1:11:00:: | definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another | synonyms=alteration, modification | examples=the change was intended to increase sales; this storm is certainly a change for the worse

4. sense_key=change%1:19:00:: | definition=the result of alteration or modification | examples=there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs; there had been no change in the mountains

Wait, "social and technological changes" refers to the events or results of alteration/modification.
Let's check sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" (alteration, modification).
Let's check sense 4: "the result of alteration or modification" (there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs).
Is "social and technological changes" an event or a result?
"social and technological changes" - these are events or processes of passing from one state to another, or the results.
Let's look at WordNet for "change" noun.
Sense 1: an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another. "the change was intended to increase sales"
Sense 4: the result of alteration or modification. "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs"
"social and technological changes" - these are events or phenomena. "social and technological changes required adaptation".
Wait, sense 1 is "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
Let's consider "social and technological changes". Are they events or results?
"social and technological changes" -> "alterations, modifications".
Synonyms for sense 1: alteration, modification.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "the change was intended to increase sales; this storm is certainly a change for the worse".
What about sense 4? "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs; there had been no change in the mountains".
"social and technological changes" fits "alteration, modification" (sense 1).
Let's re-read the definition of sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
Is "social and technological changes" an event? Yes, a change in society or technology is an event or process.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 vs sense 4.
"social and technological changes" -> "alterations, modifications".
In WordNet, "change" (noun) sense 1 is "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
Sense 4 is "the result of alteration or modification".
"social and technological changes" are the events/processes of changing, or the results?
"arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
This implies the changes themselves (the events/phenomena of society and technology changing) require adaptation.
I will go with sense 1.

Let's double check.
"social and technological changes"
Could it be sense 1? Yes.
Could it be sense 4? "the result of alteration or modification".
Usually, "technological changes" refers to the alterations/modifications themselves (sense 1).
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
change n
1. an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another; "the change was intended to increase sales"; "this storm is certainly a change for the worse"; "the neighborhood had undergone few modifications"
2. a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event; "he attributed the change to their marriage"
3. the action of changing something; "the change of government had no impact on the economy"; "his change on abortion cost him the election"
4. the result of alteration or modification; "there were marked changes in the lining of the lungs"; "there had been no change in the mountains"

"social and technological changes" -> "alterations, modifications".
I'll select 1.
Wait, "social and technological changes" could be "the result of alteration or modification"? No, "technological changes" are the events of technology changing.
I'll output 1.
Let's consider if "change" here means "alteration, modification". Yes.
Sense 1 has synonyms: alteration, modification.
I will choose 1.

The target word is "courts" in the context: "But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
The context is about legal courts, specifically appeals courts, and the institution of the court adapting to social and technological changes.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. court%1:14:00:: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business | synonyms=tribunal, judicature
8. court%1:06:05:: 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, "appeals courts" and "adaptation by the courts".
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.

Let's read the context again: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
Is it sense 1 or sense 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, "courts" as an institution or a tribunal.
Let's check the examples or synonyms.
Sense 1: tribunal, judicature.
Sense 8: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice.

"adaptation by the courts" -> the institution of the court.
In WordNet, "court" as a tribunal that administers justice is sense 8 (court%1:06:05::).
Wait, "court%1:14:00::" is "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
"court%1:06:05::" is "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".

Let's look at similar sentences. "adaptation by the courts" refers to the institution, the tribunal.
Is it 1 or 8?
"appeals courts" -> "court of law, court of justice".
Let's consider "court" in "appeals courts".
"appeals courts" is a type of court of law.
Sense 8: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws.
Sense 1: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business.

"adaptation by the courts" -> the courts as institutions.
I will choose 8.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts."
"courts" here means the judicial system or the tribunals.
Sense 8: 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.
This fits perfectly.
Let's double check if there's any other.
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.

"adaptation by the courts" -> the courts as an institution.
I'll go with 8.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for 8: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice.
For 1: tribunal, judicature.
"appeals courts" -> court of law.
I will select 8.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."
So {"sense_index": 8}.
Let's consider if "court" in "appeals courts" is 8. Yes, "court of law".

The previous sentence says: "In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials."
So "that claim" refers to the assertion that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: assertion of a right (as to money or property). No.
Sense 2: an assertion that something is true or factual. Yes.
Sense 3: demand for something as rightful or due. No.
Sense 4: informal right to something. No.
Sense 5: established or recognized right. No.
Sense 6: a demand especially in the phrase. No.

The context clearly refers to an assertion or argument (that instant news was more incendiary).
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

Context:
"The daily crush of media tweets, cameras and reporters outside the courthouse," the lawyers wrote, "was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide." Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial. In interviews, some journalists said the claim that instant news was more incendiary than reports delivered more slowly was a Luddite view that would make poor court policy governing coverage of future trials. But some lawyers said appeals courts were often attracted to arguments that social and technological changes required adaptation by the courts. Mr. Hayes's lawyers are pressing that claim. In their filing, they referred to the <t>Supreme Court</t>'s 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules.

The target lemma is "supreme_court" and the surface form is "Supreme Court".
Context: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage and made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules. 'This case,' they wrote, 'represents the Sheppard v. Maxwell of the 21st century.'"
Sheppard v. Maxwell is a famous United States Supreme Court case (1966).
The context mentions "New Haven" and "statewide", but the reference to "the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction" specifically refers to the US Supreme Court (Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333 (1966)).
Therefore, the sense is the highest federal court in the United States.
Sense 1: supreme_court%1:14:00:: | definition=the highest federal court in the United States; has final appellate jurisdiction and has jurisdiction over all other courts in the nation | synonyms=Supreme Court of the United States, United States Supreme Court
Sense 2: supreme_court%1:14:01:: | definition=the highest court in most states of the United States | synonyms=state supreme court, high court

The 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction is a US Supreme Court decision.
So sense 1 is the correct choice.
Let's double check. "Sheppard v. Maxwell" is indeed a US Supreme Court case.
The text says "referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction".
This is the US Supreme Court.
Sense index: 1.

The target word is "decision" in the context: "In their filing, they referred to the Supreme Court's 1966 decision overturning Dr. Sheppard's conviction because of the trial coverage..."
The context refers to a legal ruling or judgment made by the Supreme Court.
Let's look at the candidate senses:

2. a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration (e.g., a decision unfavorable to the opposition)
3. (boxing) a victory won on points
4. the outcome of a game or contest

Sense 2 fits best: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration". A Supreme Court decision is a judgment reached after consideration.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: act of making up your mind.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration. Example: "a decision unfavorable to the opposition". This perfectly matches a court decision.

Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "rules" in the context: "made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."
The context is about court policy governing coverage of future trials, specifically adapting to social and technological changes (new media).
The lawyers are arguing that new media requires new rules (prescribed guides for conduct or action, or principles/conditions that customarily govern behavior).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. rule%1:09:00:: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonyms: regulation)
3. rule%1:10:00:: prescribed guide for conduct or action (synonyms: prescript)
5. rule%1:09:03:: a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct (synonyms: principle)

Wait, "new rules" in the context of court policy governing coverage.
"poor court policy governing coverage of future trials" -> "new rules"
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
Sense 1: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior. Synonyms: regulation.
Sense 3: prescribed guide for conduct or action. Synonyms: prescript.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation"
Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"
Actually, "rules" in the context of court policy or legal regulations is often sense 1 (regulation) or sense 3 (prescribed guide).
Let's look at "rule%1:09:00::" vs "rule%1:10:00::".
"new rules" -> regulations.
Wait, let's consider "rule%1:09:00::" (regulation).
"court policy governing coverage" -> regulations.
Let's see: "new rules" = new regulations.
Sense 1: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior.
Sense 3: prescribed guide for conduct or action.
In WordNet, "rule" as in "rules of the court" or "new rules" for media coverage.
Is it 1 or 3?
Let's search for "rule" in legal contexts. "rules of evidence", "rules of court".
Often, "rule" (regulation) is sense 1.
Let's check sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" -> regulation.
Let's check sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" -> prescript.
"new rules" for new media.
"court policy governing coverage" -> policy, regulation.
I will go with sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "made it clear they would claim that the new media required new rules."
Could it be sense 1? Yes, "regulation" is a synonym.
Let's consider sense 1.
"rule%1:09:00::"
Let's consider sense 3. "prescribed guide for conduct or action"
Actually, "rules" in the sense of "regulations" is sense 1.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, "rule" as in "rules of the game" is 8.
"rule" as in "regulation" is 1.
"new rules" = new regulations.
I'll output 1.
Let's double check.
"court policy governing coverage" -> regulation.
"new rules" -> new regulations.
Sense 1: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior.
Synonyms: regulation.
Yes, 1 is the best fit.
Another option: 3. "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
But "regulation" is explicitly a synonym for 1.
I will choose 1.
