reasoning_content:
The target word is "Employment" in the context: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission..."
This refers to the "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate", which is a directorate or department dealing with the state of being employed or having a job, or the occupation for which you are paid, or the act of giving someone a job. Wait, "Employment" here is part of a proper noun or title: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate".
Let's look at the senses:
1. the state of being employed or having a job (employ)
2. the occupation for which you are paid (work)
3. the act of giving someone a job (engagement)
4. the act of using (use, usage, utilization, utilisation, exercise)

In the context of a government directorate, "Employment" refers to the domain of employment, i.e., the state of being employed or having a job, or the act of giving someone a job.
Wait, "Employment" as a policy area or domain usually maps to sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job" or sense 2: "the occupation for which you are paid".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "they are looking for employment; he was in the employ of the city".
Sense 2: "he is looking for employment; a lot of people are out of work".
Sense 3: "the act of giving someone a job".
Sense 4: "the act of using".

Is "Employment" in "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" referring to the state of being employed (sense 1) or the act of giving someone a job (sense 3)?
Actually, "Employment" as a field or department usually refers to the state of being employed or having a job (sense 1).
Let's consider "employment" in the sense of "the state of being employed or having a job".
Wait, could it be sense 1? Yes, "Employment" as a concept in a directorate name refers to the state of being employed or having a job (employment policy, employment rates, etc.).
Let's re-read the context: "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".
This is the "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate".
Sense 1: the state of being employed or having a job.
Sense 2: the occupation for which you are paid.
Sense 3: the act of giving someone a job.
Sense 4: the act of using.

In WordNet, "employment" as a domain (like the Department of Employment) is usually sense 1.
Let's check if there's any other nuance. "Employment" in "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" is a noun adjunct or part of a compound. It refers to the domain of employment.
Sense 1: "the state of being employed or having a job".
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's think if it could be sense 1. "Employment" in this context is the abstract concept of people having jobs, which is sense 1.
Let's double check.
"Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" -> Directorate dealing with employment (the state of being employed or having a job).
I'll go with 1.

The target word is "Industrial" in the context: "Cristina Louro, Employment, <t>Industrial</t> Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".
The phrase is "Industrial Relations".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. of or relating to or resulting from industry (industrial output)
2. having highly developed industries (the industrial revolution; an industrial nation)
3. employed in industry (the industrial classes; industrial work)
4. suitable to stand up to hard wear (industrial carpeting)

Wait, "Industrial Relations" refers to relations between employers and employees, or industry and labor.
Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry". "Industrial relations" fits "of or relating to industry".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "industrial output".
Is there a better fit?
"Industrial Relations" is a standard term. "Industrial" here means relating to industry.
Sense 1: of or relating to or resulting from industry.
Let's consider Sense 1.
"Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate"
"Industrial" modifies "Relations". Relations of or relating to industry.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: industrial%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to or resulting from industry | examples=industrial output
Sense 2: industrial%3:00:00:: | definition=having highly developed industries | examples=the industrial revolution; an industrial nation

Sense 4: industrial%5:00:00:heavy-duty:00 | definition=suitable to stand up to hard wear | examples=industrial carpeting

"Industrial Relations" -> relations relating to industry. So sense 1.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's review the context: "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate".
"Industrial" here means relating to industry.
Sense 1 is "of or relating to or resulting from industry".
Matches perfectly.
I'll output {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "Commission" in the context of "European Commission".
The context mentions "European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion".
The European Commission is a group of representatives or delegates, or a special group delegated to consider some matter.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee
5. a group of representatives or delegates; synonyms=deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission

Wait, "European Commission" is a specific body. Is it a committee or a delegation?
Let's check the definitions.
Sense 1: a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee.
Sense 5: a group of representatives or delegates; synonyms=deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission.

Actually, the European Commission is an executive body, but in WordNet, "commission" as a group of people is often sense 1 (committee) or sense 5 (delegation).
Let's see: "a special group delegated to consider some matter" (committee).
"a group of representatives or delegates" (deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission).
Is the European Commission a "committee"? Yes, it's often considered a commission/committee.
Wait, let's look at WordNet's exact synsets for "commission".
commission%1:14:00:: -> committee
commission%1:14:01:: -> deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission

In WordNet, "commission" meaning a group of people appointed for a specific function is sense 1 (committee).
Let's check the examples: "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours"
Is "European Commission" a committee? Yes, it's a group of people.
Wait, let's consider "commission" as a group of representatives or delegates (sense 5).
But "European Commission" is a permanent executive body, not just a delegation.
Let's search for "European Commission" in WordNet or similar contexts.
Actually, the European Commission is a "commission" in the sense of a group of people appointed for a specific function, which aligns with sense 1 (committee).
Let's re-read sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter"
Sense 5: "a group of representatives or delegates"

Let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: committee.
Synonyms for sense 5: deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission.
The European Commission is more like a committee or a board.
Let's choose sense 1.

Wait, is there any other sense?
"a special group delegated to consider some matter" -> committee.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"European Commission" -> a group of people.
Sense 1 is "a special group delegated to consider some matter".
Sense 5 is "a group of representatives or delegates".
I will go with sense 1.
Let's double check.
"Commission" in "European Commission" is a body of persons authorized to perform certain duties.
WordNet 3.1:
commission n
1. a special group delegated to consider some matter; "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - Milton Berle
2. a fee for services rendered based on a percentage of an amount received or collected or agreed to be paid (as distinguished from a salary); "he works on commission"
3. the act of granting authority to undertake certain functions
4. the state of being in good working order and ready for operation; "put the ships into commission"; "the motor was out of commission"
5. a group of representatives or delegates
6. a formal statement of a command or injunction to do something
7. an official document issued by a government and conferring on the recipient the rank of an officer in the armed forces
8. the act of committing a crime
9. a special assignment that is given to a person or group

Is "European Commission" a committee? Yes, it's a commission, which is a type of committee or group delegated to consider some matter.
I'll select 1.
Wait, let's think if 5 is better. "a group of representatives or delegates". The European Commission consists of representatives from member states? No, they are supposed to be independent. But they are delegates?
Actually, "commission" as in "a special group delegated to consider some matter" is the most standard definition for a governmental commission.
I will choose 1.
Let's review the prompt: "European Commission".
Sense 1: a special group delegated to consider some matter; synonyms=committee.
I'll output 1.

Let's look at the context: "Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament..."
Wait, "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" might be a typo for "a high-ranking official of the Committee of the Regions" or "a high degree of [something]". But "high" here modifies "degree" or is part of a phrase indicating rank or position.
Let's re-read carefully: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" - wait, maybe "a high degree of" is a typo for "a high-ranking member of"? Or maybe "high degree" means a high level/rank.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount (a high temperature, a high price)
2. being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation
3. standing above others in quality or position (eminent, people in high places, the high priest)
4. used of sounds and voices
5. happy and excited
6. smelling spoiled
7. intoxicated

If it's "a high degree of Committee of the Regions", "high" modifies "degree". "high degree" -> greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount.
Wait, let's search for "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions".
Actually, it might be "Fernando Gomes, a high-ranking official of the Committee of the Regions" but the text says "a high degree of Committee of the Regions".
Wait, could it be "a high degree of [something]"? No, "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" is likely a garbled translation or OCR error for "a high-ranking official of the Committee of the Regions" or "a high degree of [something]".
Let's consider "high degree". "high" modifying "degree" usually means "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" (sense 1).
Wait, "high degree" is a collocation. "a high degree of" -> sense 1: greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount.
Let's check sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount". Examples: "a high temperature; a high price".
Is there any other sense? Sense 3: "standing above others in quality or position". Examples: "people in high places; the high priest".
If the text is "a high degree of Committee of the Regions", "high" modifies "degree". "high degree" -> sense 1.
Let's search my internal knowledge for "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions".
Maybe "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" is a typo for "Fernando Gomes, a high-ranking member of the Committee of the Regions"? If it's "high-ranking", then "high" would be sense 3. But the text says "high degree".
Wait, could it be "a high degree of Committee of the Regions"? No, "degree" is a noun. "high" modifies "degree".
Let's look at the exact phrase: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions".
If "high" modifies "degree", it's sense 1.
Let's consider if "high" is part of "high degree". Yes, "high degree" means a great degree.
Sense 1: greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount.
Let's check if there is a sense for "high degree". Yes, "high" modifying "degree" is sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the context again. "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions". This is definitely a garbled text. The original might have been "Fernando Gomes, a high-ranking official of the Committee of the Regions" or "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of [something]". But the surface form is "high".
If the text says "high degree", then "high" means "great in degree".
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions".
Could it be "a high degree of [something]"? No, "of Committee of the Regions".
Maybe "a high degree of Committee of the Regions" is a typo for "a high-ranking member of the Committee of the Regions"? If the original was "high-ranking", the word is "high". But the text says "high degree".
Let's assume "high" modifies "degree". "high degree" -> sense 1.
Let's check sense 1 definition: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount".
Is there any chance it's sense 3? "standing above others in quality or position". If it was "high official", it would be sense 3. But it says "high degree".
I will go with sense 1.
Wait, let's search for "Fernando Gomes" "Committee of the Regions".
Fernando Gomes was a member of the Committee of the Regions.
Maybe the text was "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" -> actually, it might be "Fernando Gomes, a high-ranking member of the Committee of the Regions" but the OCR or translation messed up "ranking member" to "degree of"? No, "degree" and "ranking member" don't look alike.
What about "a high degree of Committee of the Regions"? Maybe "a high degree of [something]" was cut off?
Regardless, "high" modifying "degree" is sense 1.
Let's consider "high" in "high degree".
Sense 1: greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount.
I'll output 1.
Wait, let's look at the candidates again.
1. greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount
3. standing above others in quality or position
If the text is "a high degree of", it's sense 1.
Let's choose 1.

The target word is "Committee" in the context: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions". Wait, the text says "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions". Actually, it's probably "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of [something] Committee of the Regions" or "Fernando Gomes, [something] Committee of the Regions". The Committee of the Regions is a special group delegated to consider some matter, an official body.
Sense 1: a special group delegated to consider some matter; commission.

The "Committee of the Regions" is an official advisory body of the European Union. This fits sense 1: "a special group delegated to consider some matter".

Let's check the context again: "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions" (probably a typo in the original text for "Fernando Gomes, a high degree of [something] Committee of the Regions" or "Fernando Gomes, [something] of the Committee of the Regions").

The target word is "Economic" in the context: "John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."
The Economic and Social Committee is a consultative body of the European Union.
The word "Economic" here refers to the economy, the system of production and management of material wealth, or the science of economics.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=economic%3:01:01:: | definition=of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth | synonyms=economical | examples=economic growth; aspects of social, political, and economical life

5. sense_key=economic%5:00:00:profitable:00 | definition=financially rewarding

The "Economic and Social Committee" is a committee dealing with economic and social affairs, i.e., the economy.
Sense 1: "of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth"
Sense 2: "of or relating to the science of economics"

"Economic and Social Committee" -> Economic here means relating to the economy.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "aspects of social, political, and economical life".
The Economic and Social Committee (ESC) is an advisory body of the European Union. It represents the interests of employers, workers, and other interest groups. It deals with the economy.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: economic%3:01:01::
Sense 2: economic%3:01:00::

Is "Economic and Social Committee" related to the science of economics or the economy? It's related to the economy.
So sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the exact phrase: "Economic and Social Committee".
In WordNet, "Economic and Social Committee" might not be explicitly listed, but "economic" modifying "Committee" means relating to the economy.
Sense 1: "of or relating to an economy, the system of production and management of material wealth"
I will choose 1.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=economic%3:01:01::
2. sense_key=economic%3:01:00::
3. sense_key=economic%5:00:00:efficient:00
4. sense_key=economic%5:00:00:worldly:00
5. sense_key=economic%5:00:00:profitable:00

Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Context: "John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee."
This is a proper noun, but the adjective "Economic" means relating to the economy.
I will output 1.

The target lemma is "case_study" and the surface form is "Case Studies".
Context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community. For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."
The context is about initiatives, policies, practices, recruitment, training, development of workers in the workplace and community. This is a social unit or organization context (initiatives, policies, practices).
Sense 1: a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure.
Sense 2: a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view.

The context talks about "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community." This aligns with a study of a social unit (like a corporation, division, or initiative) to determine factors of success or failure, rather than a medical/psychological analysis of a person or group.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."
Sense 1: "a careful study of some social unit (as a corporation or division within a corporation) that attempts to determine what factors led to its success or failure"
Sense 2: "a detailed analysis of a person or group from a social or psychological or medical point of view"

The study is about "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community." This is an organizational/social unit study, not a medical/psychological one.
So sense 1 is correct.
I will return {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "national" in the context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community. For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study."
The context mentions "national report" and "For each country".
This means the report is applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country (national hero)
2. limited to or in the interests of a particular nation (national interests)
3. concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country (the national government; national elections)
4. owned or maintained for the public by the national government (national parks)
5. inside the country (home, interior, internal)
6. characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation (a national trait)
7. of or relating to nationality (national origin)

"national report" -> a report for an entire nation or country.
Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" fits "national report" perfectly, as it's a report at the national level (as opposed to regional or local). The context also mentions "national level peak organisations" earlier.
Let's check sense 3 again: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country". Examples: "the national government; national elections".
"national report" is a report applicable to an entire nation or country.
Sense 1 is "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
Sense 3 is "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country".
"national report" is a report at the national level.
Let's consider "national level peak organisations" -> "national" here is sense 3.
"Each national report" -> sense 3.
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's look at sense 3 vs sense 1.
Sense 1: of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country.
Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
"national report" is a report applicable to an entire nation.
I'll go with 3.
Let's double check. "national report" -> report of a nation.
Is it 3? Yes.
Let's review the prompt: "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
"national" modifies "report".
Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
Yes, 3 is the best fit.
Another option: 1. "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country".
But 3 specifically says "applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country", which matches "national report" (a report for the whole country, as opposed to regional).
I will output 3.

1. give an exhibition of to an interested audience (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate)
2. bring forward and present to the mind (represent, lay out) - "We presented the arguments to him"
3. perform (a play)

12. formally present a debutante, a representative of a country, etc.
13. recognize with a gesture prescribed by a military regulation; assume a prescribed position (salute)

Wait, "present policies and practices" -> "bring forward and present to the mind" or "represent"?
Let's check sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out). Examples: "We presented the arguments to him; We cannot represent this knowledge to our formal reason".
Is there another sense?
What about sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate). "initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> show, demonstrate, exhibit.
Let's re-read carefully: "initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment..."
Could it be "represent" (sense 2)? "initiatives which best represent policies and practices..."
Wait, "present" here means "show" or "demonstrate" or "represent".
Let's look at sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out).
Let's look at sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate).
Let's look at sense 10: "represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture" (portray).
Let's look at sense 8: "deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)".

Wait, "present" in "present policies and practices" -> "show" or "demonstrate" or "represent".
If I substitute "represent": "initiatives which best represent policies and practices..."
If I substitute "show": "initiatives which best show policies and practices..."
If I substitute "demonstrate": "initiatives which best demonstrate policies and practices..."

Let's check WordNet for "present" verb.
present%2:32:00:: bring forward and present to the mind (represent, lay out)
present%2:39:00:: give an exhibition of to an interested audience (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate)
present%2:32:02:: deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)

"initiatives which best present policies and practices"
Could it be sense 2? "bring forward and present to the mind" -> represent.
Or sense 1? "give an exhibition of to an interested audience" -> show, demonstrate.
Actually, if it's "present policies and practices", it means they "show" or "demonstrate" or "represent" them.
Let's consider "represent" (sense 2). "We presented the arguments to him".
What about "present" as in "show"? "The report presents a new theory." -> present%2:32:00:: bring forward and present to the mind.
Wait, "present" in "presents policies and practices" -> "represent" or "show".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: represent, lay out.
Synonyms for sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate.
"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> "initiatives which best represent policies and practices" makes a lot of sense.
Wait, "present" can also mean "show" or "demonstrate".
Let's search for "present policies and practices".
"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> maybe "represent"?
Let's check sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out).
Is there a sense for "show" or "demonstrate"? Sense 1: "give an exhibition of to an interested audience". This is more like showing a product or a dog.
Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out). "We presented the arguments to him". This fits "policies and practices" better than "give an exhibition of".
Wait, could it be sense 2? "represent" is a synonym. "initiatives which best represent policies and practices".
Let's check sense 2 again. "bring forward and present to the mind".
What about sense 1? "give an exhibition of to an interested audience".
What about sense 8? "deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)".
What about sense 10? "represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture".

Let's rethink: "present" in "initiatives which best present policies and practices".
If I say "The initiatives present policies and practices", it means they "show" or "demonstrate" or "represent" them.
In WordNet, "present" as "represent" is sense 2: present%2:32:00:: bring forward and present to the mind. Synonyms: represent, lay out.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"present" = "show" -> sense 1? "give an exhibition of to an interested audience". No, that's for shows, demos.
"present" = "represent" -> sense 2. "We presented the arguments to him".
"present" = "deliver" -> sense 8. "presented a forceful speech".
"present" = "introduce" -> sense 5. "This poses an interesting question".

Let's look at the exact phrase: "initiatives which best present policies and practices".
Could it be "represent"? Yes, "represent" is a synonym of sense 2.
Let's consider "present" as "show" or "demonstrate". Is there a sense for that?
Sense 1: show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate. But the definition is "give an exhibition of to an interested audience". That doesn't fit "policies and practices" in a report.
Sense 2: "bring forward and present to the mind". Synonyms: represent, lay out. This fits "policies and practices" in a report. A report brings forward and presents to the mind (represents) policies and practices.

Let's check if "present" can mean "describe" or "set forth".
"present" (verb) - set forth or state in detail. (This is not in the list, but maybe sense 2 covers it).
Wait, "present" in WordNet:
1. present%2:39:00:: give an exhibition of to an interested audience (show, demo, exhibit, demonstrate)
2. present%2:32:00:: bring forward and present to the mind (represent, lay out)
3. present%2:36:00:: perform (a play), especially on a stage (stage, represent)
4. present%2:40:01:: hand over formally (submit)
5. present%2:42:00:: introduce (pose)
6. present%2:40:02:: give, especially as an honor or reward (award)
7. present%2:40:00:: give as a present; make a gift of (give, gift)
8. present%2:32:02:: deliver (a speech, oration, or idea) (deliver)
9. present%2:32:01:: cause to come to know personally (introduce, acquaint)
10. present%2:36:08:: represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture (portray)
11. present%2:32:06:: present somebody with something, usually to accuse or criticize (confront, face)
12. present%2:32:04:: formally present a debutante, a representative of a country, etc.
13. present%2:32:03:: recognize with a gesture prescribed by a military regulation; assume a prescribed position (salute)

Is there any other sense? No, only 13 candidates.
Between 1 and 2, 2 is "bring forward and present to the mind" (represent, lay out).
"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> "initiatives which best represent policies and practices".
"represent" is explicitly a synonym for sense 2.
Let's check sense 2 examples: "We presented the arguments to him; We cannot represent this knowledge to our formal reason".
This matches "policies and practices" being presented (represented/laid out) in a report.

Let's double check if "present" could be sense 1. "give an exhibition of to an interested audience". No, a report doesn't give an exhibition.
Could it be sense 8? "deliver (a speech, oration, or idea)". No, it's not delivering a speech.
Could it be sense 10? "represent abstractly, for example in a painting, drawing, or sculpture". No.

Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.
"bring forward and present to the mind" -> represent, lay out.
"initiatives which best present policies and practices" -> initiatives which best represent policies and practices.

Let's review the context: "Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community."
"present" here means "show" or "demonstrate" or "represent".
Since "represent" is a synonym for sense 2, and "lay out" is also a synonym, sense 2 fits perfectly. "Lay out policies and practices" or "represent policies and practices".

I will choose sense 2.
