reasoning_content:
The target word is "capital" in the context: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a <t>capital</t> increase of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."
The context is about a bank raising cash, increasing its capital.
Sense 1: assets available for use in the production of further assets (working capital)
Sense 2: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value.
Wait, "capital increase" refers to increasing the capital (wealth/money/assets) of the bank.
Let's check the definitions.
Sense 1: assets available for use in the production of further assets. Synonyms: working capital.
Sense 2: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value.
In finance, "capital increase" (Kapitalerhöhung in German, given the context "reported CNBC with reference to circles" and "kitty", this looks like a translation from German "Kapitalerhöhung").
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"capital increase" -> increasing the capital (wealth/money) of the business.
Let's look at sense 1: "assets available for use in the production of further assets"
Sense 2: "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value"
Actually, "capital" in the sense of "capital increase" (equity capital) is wealth in the form of money or property owned by a business.
Wait, let's consider "capital market" mentioned earlier: "raise cash on the capital market".
"capital increase" -> increasing the capital.
Let's check WordNet for "capital".
capital%1:21:00:: wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
capital%1:21:01:: assets available for use in the production of further assets (working capital)
A "capital increase" is an increase in the equity capital (wealth/money owned by the business).
Let's see: "capital increase" is often translated as "capital increase" or "increase in capital".
Is it sense 1 or 2?
"wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business" fits "capital increase of some USD 20 billion".
Let's check if there is a more specific sense.
"capital" as in "capital market" or "capital increase".
In WordNet, "capital" (wealth) is 1:21:00.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "assets available for use in the production of further assets" vs "wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business".
A capital increase means the bank is issuing new shares to raise money, thus increasing its wealth/capital.
I will go with 2.
Let's double check if 1 is better. "working capital" is a specific type of capital. "capital increase" is generally an increase in the company's capital (equity). So 2 is more appropriate.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=capital%1:21:01:: | definition=assets available for use in the production of further assets | synonyms=working capital
2. sense_key=capital%1:21:00:: | definition=wealth in the form of money or property owned by a person or business and human resources of economic value
I'll select 2.
Wait, "capital increase" -> "Kapitalerhöhung". In German, Kapital is wealth/money.
I'll output 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "increase" in the context: "Already on Thursday, the US bank was able to announce a capital <t>increase</t> of some USD 20 billion, reported CNBC with reference to circles."
The phrase is "capital increase".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a quantity that is added (addition, gain)
2. a change resulting in an increase
3. a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important (increment, growth)
4. the amount by which something increases (increment)
5. the act of increasing something (step-up)

Wait, "capital increase" refers to the amount by which the capital increases, or the act of increasing it, or a quantity that is added?
Let's check the examples.
Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases" -> "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare"
Sense 1: "a quantity that is added" -> "there was an addition to property taxes this year"
Sense 5: "the act of increasing something" -> "he gave me an increase in salary"

In the context: "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion". This is the amount by which the capital increases.
Wait, "increase of some USD 20 billion" is the amount.
Let's consider Sense 4: "the amount by which something increases". Synonyms: increment. Example: "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare".
Is it Sense 4?
Let's check Sense 1: "a quantity that is added".
Let's check Sense 4 again. "the amount by which something increases".
"a capital increase of some USD 20 billion" -> the amount is 20 billion.
Let's look at similar examples in WordNet.
"increase of 15 percent" -> amount by which something increases.
"increase of some USD 20 billion" -> amount by which something increases.
So Sense 4 seems very fitting.

Let's review the options.
1. a quantity that is added
2. a change resulting in an increase
3. a process of becoming larger
4. the amount by which something increases
5. the act of increasing something

"a capital increase of some USD 20 billion"
Is it the amount by which something increases? Yes, the capital increases by 20 billion.
Could it be 1? "a quantity that is added".
Could it be 4? "the amount by which something increases".
Let's search for "capital increase". It's a specific financial term, but in WordNet, "increase" as a noun meaning "the amount by which something increases" fits "an increase of X".
"an increase of some USD 20 billion" matches "an increase of 15 percent in the fare".
Therefore, Sense 4 is the best match.

Let's double check.
"announce a capital increase of some USD 20 billion"
Sense 4: the amount by which something increases.
Synonyms: increment.
Examples: they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare.
This perfectly matches "an increase of some USD 20 billion".

Let's check Sense 1: "a quantity that is added". Example: "there was an addition to property taxes this year".
Sense 4 is more specific to "the amount by which something increases", which aligns with "an increase of [amount]".

I will go with Sense 4.
Wait, let's re-read the context. "a capital increase of some USD 20 billion".
Yes, "increase of [amount]" is the classic pattern for Sense 4.
I'll output 4.

Let's double check. "circles" as in "sources" or "people in the know".
Sense 2: "an unofficial association of people or groups" | synonyms=set, band, lot | examples=the smart set goes there; they were an angry lot.
Yes, "circles" in journalism often refers to "sources" or "people in certain circles".

Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

The target word is "support" in the context: "Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley had already repaid their <t>support</t> in June."
The context is about banks repaying financial assistance or capital injections they received from the state (the American taxpayer).

Let's check sense 11: "the foundation provided support for the experiment".
Is it sense 11? Yes, "financial resources provided to make some project possible" or "financial backing". The banks repaid their financial backing/support.
Let's re-read the context: "The cash injection helped over a very difficult time... repaid their support in June."
"support" here means the financial resources (the bailout money).
Sense 11 fits perfectly: "financial resources provided to make some project possible" (or in this case, to survive the financial crisis).
Let's double check sense 1: "the activity of providing for or maintaining by supplying with money or necessities". "repaid their activity" doesn't make sense. "repaid their financial resources" makes sense.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "testimony".
Context: "Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze."
The context is a courtroom setting ("courtroom rows", "trial", "defense").
The reporters are sending out reports of "gruesome testimony".
Sense 1: a solemn statement made under oath.
Sense 2: an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact.
Sense 3: something that serves as evidence.

In a courtroom, "testimony" refers to the statements made by witnesses under oath.
"gruesome testimony" refers to the statements made under oath about the gruesome details of the crime.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: a solemn statement made under oath.
Sense 2: an assertion offering firsthand authentication of a fact.
Sense 3: something that serves as evidence.

"reports of gruesome testimony" in a courtroom context clearly points to the statements made under oath by witnesses.
So sense 1.

In the context, "In the end" means "ultimately" or "finally", as the end result of the process of the trial. It's not necessarily "after a very lengthy period of time" (in the long run), but rather "as the end result of a succession or process" (ultimately, finally).
Let's check the context: "In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages..." This means "ultimately" or "finally".
Sense 2 fits perfectly.
Sense 1 is "in the long run".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.

The target word is "defense" in the context: "In the end, the <t>defense</t> says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze."
The context is a courtroom trial. "the defense says" refers to the defense team, the defendant and his legal advisors collectively.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. military action
2. protection from harm
3. sports team
4. justification for some act or belief
5. psychiatry
6. Department of Defense
7. the defendant and his legal advisors collectively (defense team, defense lawyers)
8. speech act of answering an attack
9. organization of defenders
10. structure used to defend
11. defendant's answer or plea denying the truth of the charges
12. act of defending someone

Sense 7: "the defendant and his legal advisors collectively" -> "the defense says" fits perfectly.
Let's double check sense 7.
"the defense called for a mistrial"
"the defense says" -> the defense team.
Yes, sense 7 is the best fit.
Sense 11 is "a defendant's answer or plea denying the truth of the charges against him". "the defense says" implies the people (the defense team), not the plea itself.
Therefore, sense 7 is the correct choice.
The output format must be exactly {"sense_index": 7}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "messages" in the context of "Twitter messages".
The context says: "there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds..."
The candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=message%1:10:01:: | definition=a communication (usually brief) that is written or spoken or signaled | examples=he sent a three-word message
2. sense_key=message%1:10:00:: | definition=what a communication that is about something is about | synonyms=content, subject matter, substance

In the context, "Twitter messages" refers to the actual communications (tweets) sent out, not the content or subject matter of the communication.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "Twitter messages" = tweets, which are brief written communications.
Sense 1: "a communication (usually brief) that is written or spoken or signaled"
Sense 2: "what a communication that is about something is about" (content, subject matter)

The context talks about "typing away", "sent out reports", "140,000 Twitter messages". This clearly refers to the communications themselves.
So sense 1 is correct.

Yes, a dwelling. Sense 1.

The context is: "On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury."
The target word is "family".
The context refers to a group of people related by blood or marriage, specifically parents and children or a primary social group.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a social unit living together (household, house, home, menage)
2. primary social group; parents and children (family unit)
3. a collection of things sharing a common attribute
4. people descended from a common ancestor (family line, folk, kinfolk, kinsfolk, sept, phratry)

6. (biology) a taxonomic group
7. a loose affiliation of gangsters
8. an association of people who share common beliefs or activities

"three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family"
This refers to a primary social group; parents and children, or a family unit.
Wait, let's distinguish between 1 and 2.
Sense 1: a social unit living together (household, house, home, menage). Example: he moved his family to Virginia.
Sense 2: primary social group; parents and children. Example: he wanted to have a good job before starting a family.
In the Cheshire home invasion, the victims were Jennifer Hawke-Petit, her daughter Michaela, and her daughter Hayley. They are a primary social group, parents and children.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family"
Often "family" in this context (a specific family, e.g., the Petit family) is sense 2: primary social group; parents and children. Or sense 1: a social unit living together.
Let's check WordNet.
"family"
1.14.00: primary social group; parents and children. "he wanted to have a good job before starting a family"
1.14.01: people descended from a common ancestor. "his family has lived in Massachusetts since the Mayflower"
1.14.02: a social unit living together. "he moved his family to Virginia; It was a good Christian household"
"three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family" -> this is a specific family unit, parents and children.
Wait, "members of a ... family" usually points to the family unit (parents and children).
Let's consider "family unit" (sense 2).
Is it sense 2? Yes, "primary social group; parents and children".
Let's double check if there's any other.
"three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family"
Could it be 1? "a social unit living together".
In WordNet, "family" as "primary social group; parents and children" is sense 2.
Let's look at similar examples. "a family of four" -> sense 2.
"members of a family" -> sense 2.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's re-read the examples for sense 2: "he wanted to have a good job before starting a family".
Sense 1: "he moved his family to Virginia".
"three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family" -> this is a family unit.
I'll go with 2.
Let's consider if it could be 1. "a social unit living together". The Petit family lived together. But "primary social group; parents and children" fits "three members of a ... family" (mother and two daughters).
I will output 2.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=family%1:14:02::
2. sense_key=family%1:14:00::
I'll select 2.
Wait, "family" in "members of a family" is often sense 2.
Let's confirm.
Yes, 2 is the best fit.
Another option: 1. "a social unit living together".
But "primary social group; parents and children" is more specific to the biological/social relation of the members (mother and daughters).
I'll output 2.

The phrase is "come to an official end".
This refers to the point in time at which something ends, or the concluding parts of an event or occurrence.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. extremity of something that has length
2. the point in time at which something ends (ending) - "the end of the year"
3. the concluding parts of an event or occurrence (last, final stage) - "the end was exciting"
4. goal

13. piece of cloth
14. position on line of scrimmage

Wait, "come to an end" usually means the point in time at which something ends (sense 2) or the concluding parts of an event (sense 3).
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "the end of the year; the ending of warranty period".
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" -> "the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie".
"come to an official end" -> the point in time at which something ends.
Wait, let's look at sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
"come to an end" is an idiom meaning to reach the point in time at which something ends.
Let's check WordNet for "come to an end".
"end" (point in time at which something ends) -> "the end of the year".
"end" (concluding parts of an event or occurrence) -> "the end was exciting".
"come to an end" is often mapped to sense 2.
Let's re-read the context: "is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence".
This is the point in time at which the trial ends.
Let's consider sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
Synonyms: ending.
Examples: the end of the year; the ending of warranty period.
Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".
Synonyms: last, final stage.
Examples: the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie.

"come to an end" -> "the point in time at which something ends".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"come to an end" is a common phrase.
In WordNet, "end" as in "the end of the year" is sense 2.
"come to an end" -> "the point in time at which something ends".
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's look at sense 2 again. "the point in time at which something ends".
Yes, "come to an official end" means reaching the point in time at which the trial ends.
Let's double check sense 2 vs sense 3.
"the end of the trial" -> point in time.
"the end was exciting" -> concluding parts.
Here, "come to an official end" refers to the point in time.
I'll go with 2.
Let's review the options.
2. sense_key=end%1:28:00:: | definition=the point in time at which something ends | synonyms=ending | examples=the end of the year; the ending of warranty period
Yes, this fits perfectly.
"come to an end" is a classic example of this sense.
I will output 2.

Context:
Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals <t>arguments</t> that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions.
