Which numbered sense of "advantage" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "advantage" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an <t>advantage</t>."

Senses:
1. the quality of having a superior or more favorable position
2. (tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. benefit resulting from some event or action

In the sentence, "it is not so clear that it is an advantage" refers to whether passing rounds provides a benefit or a favorable position.
Let's look at the options.
Sense 1: the quality of having a superior or more favorable position.
Sense 3: benefit resulting from some event or action.

Wait, "passing rounds" might refer to a game or a process. "it is not so clear that it is an advantage" -> it is not so clear that it is a benefit.
Let's consider "advantage" as a countable noun here: "an advantage".
Sense 1: "the experience gave him the advantage over me" (usually "the advantage", but can be "an advantage").
Sense 3: "it turned out to my advantage" (usually uncountable, but can be "an advantage").

Let's look at the phrasing: "it is an advantage".
Is it sense 1 or 3?
"benefit resulting from some event or action" -> "it is a benefit".
"the quality of having a superior or more favorable position" -> "it is a superior position".

Let's search for the sentence: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
This might be from a specific corpus, like WordNet or a similar dataset.
In WordNet, "advantage" has:
1. advantage, vantage - the quality of having a superior or more favorable position ("the experience gave him the advantage over me")
2. advantage - (tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. advantage, benefit - benefit resulting from some event or action ("it turned out to my advantage"; "he took advantage of his opponent's misstep")

Wait, "it is an advantage" -> "it is a benefit".
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: "the experience gave him the advantage over me"
Sense 3: "it turned out to my advantage"

If the sentence is "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
"passing rounds" -> an event or action. The result of passing rounds is a benefit.
So sense 3: benefit resulting from some event or action.

Let's re-read carefully: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
Could it be sense 1? "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position".
If I have to choose between 1 and 3, "benefit resulting from some event or action" fits "by passing rounds" (an action) resulting in "an advantage" (a benefit).

Let's search my internal knowledge for "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
This looks like a sentence from a corpus annotated with WordNet senses.
"by passing rounds" -> action. "it is an advantage" -> benefit resulting from some event or action.
Therefore, sense 3.

Let's double check.
"advantage"
1. the quality of having a superior or more favorable position
2. (tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. benefit resulting from some event or action

Sentence: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
"passing rounds" is an action. The result is a benefit. So sense 3.
I will output 3.
Wait, let's think if "passing rounds" means something else. In some contexts, "passing rounds" could be a military or gaming term. Regardless, it's an action/event, and the advantage is the benefit.
Sense 3 is "benefit resulting from some event or action".
I'll go with 3.

"part of the strategic decisions" -> "part" is a portion.
Is it sense 1 or 9?
"part of the strategic decisions" -> "part" is a component.
Let's search for "part of the strategic decisions".
Actually, "part of" is often sense 1.
Let's look at the phrasing: "which is part of the strategic decisions".
"part" here is a noun. "is part of" -> "is a part of".
In WordNet, "part" as in "part of" is often sense 1.
Let's check sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it".
"part of the strategic decisions" -> the strategic decisions include this part.
Let's check sense 9: "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole".
Are strategic decisions divided into portions? Not necessarily. "part of" just means it's included in them.
So sense 1 is more appropriate.

Let's read the sentence again: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
Wait, "sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions..."
Actually, "part" here means "a component" or "a portion".
Sense 1: "something determined in relation to something that includes it" -> "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself".

Let's consider "part" in "part of the strategic decisions".
Is it sense 1?
"part" (noun)
1. something determined in relation to something that includes it
"he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself"
"I read a portion of the manuscript"
"the divided part"

Let's look at another example: "part of the problem", "part of the reason". These are usually sense 1.
"part of the strategic decisions" -> sense 1.

Let's double check sense 1 vs sense 9.
Sense 1 is "part, portion, component part, component".
Sense 9 is "part, section, division".
"part of the strategic decisions" -> component part. So sense 1.

Let's review the options.
1. definition=something determined in relation to something that includes it | examples=he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself
9. definition=one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole | examples=the written part of the exam

"part of the strategic decisions" -> it is a component of the strategic decisions.
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's think if "part" could be sense 1.
Yes, "part of" is a very common collocation for sense 1.
"which is part of the strategic decisions" -> "part" is a component.
I'll output 1.
Let's consider if it could be 9. "the written part of the exam" implies a division. "strategic decisions" are not necessarily divided into parts, but "part of" means it's included in them. So 1 is better.
I am confident in 1.

3. (boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred
4. the outcome of a game or contest
5. the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose

In the sentence, "strategic decisions" refers to the act of making up one's mind about a strategy or course of action. It's about making choices or deciding on a strategy.
Wait, "strategic decisions" means choices made after consideration, or the act of making up your mind about a strategy.
Let's see: "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
Is it sense 1 (the act of making up your mind about something) or sense 2 (a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration)?
"strategic decisions" usually refers to the choices or judgments made.
Let's check WordNet for "decision".
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something. "the burden of decision was his"
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration. "a decision unfavorable to the opposition"
In the sentence, "strategic decisions" refers to the choices or judgments made (e.g., deciding to take advantage of the rules).
Wait, "strategic decisions" could be "the act of making up your mind about something" or "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration".
Let's consider "strategic decisions". A decision is a choice. "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" fits "a strategic decision" (a judgment or choice).
Actually, "decision" in "strategic decisions" is often sense 1 or 2. Let's look at similar examples.
"strategic decisions" -> choices made.
Let's re-read carefully: "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

Let's check WordNet definitions.
Sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.
"strategic decisions" -> a judgment or choice reached after consideration.
Wait, "decision" as a countable noun (decisions) usually maps to Sense 2: "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration" (e.g., "make a decision", "strategic decisions").
Sense 1 is often uncountable or refers to the process: "the burden of decision".
Let's check if "decisions" (plural) is more likely Sense 2. Yes, "a decision" (countable) is Sense 2. "the decision" (process) is Sense 1.
"strategic decisions" are specific choices/judgments. So Sense 2.

Let's double check.
Sentence: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
"strategic decisions" = strategic choices/judgments.
Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration.

Yes, Sense 2 fits best.

Let's review the options.
1. the act of making up your mind about something
2. a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration
3. (boxing) a victory won on points
4. the outcome of a game or contest
5. the trait of resoluteness

"strategic decisions" -> judgments/choices. Sense 2.

Sentence: "Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."

Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn
2. definition=a hypothesis that is taken for granted
3. definition=the act of taking possession of or power over something
4. definition=celebration in the Roman Catholic Church...
5. definition=(Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul...
6. definition=audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to
7. definition=the act of assuming or taking for granted

In the sentence, "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
The "assumption" here refers to a hypothesis or a premise that is taken for granted, or a statement assumed to be true. Wait, let's look closer. "Regarding this assumption" - it's a hypothesis or a premise.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn.
Sense 2: a hypothesis that is taken for granted.
Sense 7: the act of assuming or taking for granted.

Let's check the context. "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
This sounds like a hypothesis or a premise. "Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this hypothesis that is taken for granted".
Wait, could it be sense 2? "any society is built upon certain assumptions"
Or sense 1? "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play"
In the sentence, "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
This is likely sense 2: a hypothesis that is taken for granted.
Let's search for the exact sentence: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction"
This is from a legal or sports context. "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
Actually, "assumption" here means a hypothesis or premise.
Let's consider Sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted".
Let's consider Sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn".
Let's consider Sense 7: "the act of assuming or taking for granted".

If we look at WordNet:
assumption (n)
1. a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn
2. a hypothesis that is taken for granted
3. the act of taking possession of or power over something
4. celebration in the Roman Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's being taken up into heaven when her earthly life ended; corresponds to the Dormition in the Eastern Orthodox Church
5. (Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary when her earthly life had ended
6. audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to
7. the act of assuming or taking for granted

In the sentence, "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
Is it a hypothesis? Yes, "this assumption" refers to a hypothesis or premise that was previously stated.
Let's check if there is a more specific match. "Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this hypothesis".
I will guess sense 2.

Wait, looking at the sentence: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
Could it be sense 2? "a hypothesis that is taken for granted"
Let's search my internal knowledge for "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction".
This is likely from a paper on law or sports. "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
If it's a hypothesis, sense 2 fits perfectly.

Let's re-read sense 1: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn"
Sense 2: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted"
Sense 7: "the act of assuming or taking for granted"

"Regarding this assumption" -> "Regarding this hypothesis".
I'll go with 2.
Wait, let's think if it could be 1. "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play"
In the sentence, "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act..."
It's a noun referring to the assumption itself, not the act of assuming. So 1 or 2.
"a hypothesis that is taken for granted" seems very fitting for "this assumption".

Let's consider if "assumption" here means "hypothesis". Yes.
I will output 2.
Let me double check the exact wording of WordNet.
WordNet 3.1:
assumption
1. a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn
2. a hypothesis that is taken for granted
3. the act of taking possession of or power over something
4. celebration in the Roman Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's being taken up into heaven when her earthly life ended; corresponds to the Dormition in the Eastern Orthodox Church
5. (Christianity) the taking up of the body and soul of the Virgin Mary when her earthly life had ended
6. audacious (even arrogant) behavior that you have no right to
7. the act of assuming or taking for granted

Sentence: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it."
This is from a text discussing a legal or regulatory framework where an assumption was made about players' behavior. "Regarding this assumption [that players would act to avoid the sanction], the players did not act..."
So it's a hypothesis that was taken for granted. Sense 2.
I will return 2.

Sense 5: "an important participant (as in a business deal)" fits best, as it refers to participants in a legal/business context.
Let's double check. "players" in legal/business contexts are often referred to as "players" (e.g., market players, political players).
Sense 5 is the most appropriate.
Number: 5.

Sentence: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

Let's analyze the senses:
1. intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. a person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage

In the sentence, "law fraud" refers to the legal concept of fraud, which is intentional deception resulting in injury to another person (or a legal wrong).
Wait, "law fraud" might be a translation of "fraude" in some language, meaning legal fraud.
Sense 1: intentional deception resulting in injury to another person. This matches the legal definition of fraud.
Sense 3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.
Let's look at similar examples. "law fraud" -> legal fraud.
Is it sense 1 or 3?
"intentional deception resulting in injury to another person" is the standard legal definition of fraud.
Let's check WordNet for "fraud":
1. intentional deception resulting in injury to another person
2. a person who makes deceitful pretenses
3. something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage

In the sentence, "law fraud" refers to the legal concept, which aligns with sense 1 (intentional deception resulting in injury to another person).

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "occasion" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this <t>occasion</t> I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

Let's look at the senses:
1. an event that occurs at a critical time
2. a vaguely specified social event
3. reason
4. the time of a particular event
5. an opportunity to do something

In the sentence, "in this occasion" refers to a specific instance or event (the time of a particular event, or a specific instance).
Wait, "in this occasion" is a bit of a non-standard phrasing (usually "on this occasion"), but it means "in this instance" or "at this time of a particular event".
Let's re-evaluate the senses.
Sense 4: "the time of a particular event" -> "on the occasion of his 60th birthday". "in this occasion" -> "in this instance/event".
Wait, could it be sense 1? "an event that occurs at a critical time" -> "at such junctures".
Could it be sense 4? "the time of a particular event".
Let's search for similar examples. "in this occasion" is often used by non-native speakers to mean "in this instance" or "on this occasion".
"on this occasion" usually maps to "the time of a particular event" or "a vaguely specified social event" or "an event that occurs at a critical time".
Let's look at WordNet senses for "occasion":
1. an event that occurs at a critical time ("at such junctures he always had an impulse to leave")
2. a vaguely specified social event ("the party was quite an affair")
3. reason ("there was no occasion for complaint")
4. the time of a particular event ("on the occasion of his 60th birthday")
5. an opportunity to do something ("there was never an occasion for her to demonstrate her skill")

"in this occasion" -> "in this instance" -> "the time of a particular event" (Sense 4).
Wait, "in this occasion" might be a translation of "en esta ocasión", which means "on this occasion" or "in this instance".
Let's consider "the time of a particular event".
Is there another sense? "an event that occurs at a critical time" (juncture).
"in this occasion" = "on this occasion" = "at this time".
Let's check the examples for sense 4: "on the occasion of his 60th birthday".
"in this occasion" -> "in this instance" -> "the time of a particular event".
Let's consider sense 4.

Let's read the sentence again: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."
Here, "occasion" means "instance" or "time".
Sense 4: "the time of a particular event".
Sense 1: "an event that occurs at a critical time".
I think Sense 4 is the best fit.

Let's double check WordNet definitions.
occasion (n)
1. an event that occurs at a critical time
2. a vaguely specified social event
3. reason
4. the time of a particular event
5. an opportunity to do something

"in this occasion" -> "on this occasion" -> "the time of a particular event".
I will output 4.
Wait, let's think if it could be 1. "at such junctures". "in this occasion" is not really a critical time, just a specific instance.
So 4 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm.
"on the occasion of" -> sense 4.
"in this occasion" -> sense 4.
I will return 4.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "case" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear <t>case</t> of wittiness."

Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=an occurrence of something | examples=it was a case of bad judgment
2. definition=a special set of circumstances | examples=in that event, the first possibility is excluded
3. definition=a comprehensive term for any proceeding in a court of law...

Sense 1: "an occurrence of something" with example "it was a case of bad judgment". This perfectly matches "a clear case of wittiness".

Let's double check.
"a clear case of wittiness" -> an occurrence of wittiness.
Sense 1 fits best.

1. definition=the act of forcing out someone or something | examples=the ejection of troublemakers by the police
2. definition=squeezing out by applying pressure | examples=an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube
3. definition=the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Wait, "auto expulsions" in the context of "transmission of the directive" and "auto" (automobile).
Wait, "auto expulsions" might refer to the ejection of something from an automobile, or perhaps it's a mistranslation or specific term. Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: forcing out someone or something (e.g., ejection of troublemakers).
Sense 2: squeezing out by applying pressure (extrusion).
Sense 3: the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting.

Wait, looking at WordNet:
expulsion
1. the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., the ejection of troublemakers by the police)
2. squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube)
3. the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Wait, "auto expulsions" - could it be "auto ejections"? Like ejection from a car? Or maybe "auto expulsions" refers to the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting?
Let's search for "auto expulsions" or "auto expulsion".
Actually, "auto expulsions" might be a translation of "auto-expulsions" or something related to ejection.
Wait, let's consider the context: "two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
Could it be "auto expulsions" as in "expelling someone from an automobile"? Or "auto" as in automatic?
If it's "auto expulsions", maybe it's sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something.
Let's check the examples. "the ejection of troublemakers by the police" -> forcing out someone.
Is there a sense 3? "the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting".
Wait, WordNet has:
expulsion
1. the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., the ejection of troublemakers by the police)
2. squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube)
3. the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Wait, "auto expulsions" - maybe it's "auto ejections"?
Let's search my internal knowledge for "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
This looks like a sentence from a corpus, possibly translated or from a specific domain.
"auto expulsions" -> maybe "auto-expulsions" (automatic expulsions)?
If it's automatic expulsions (e.g., from a school or organization), then it's sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something.
Let's re-read carefully: "because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
"auto expulsions" = automatic expulsions? Yes, "auto" as a prefix for automatic.
If it's automatic expulsions (of students, members, etc.), then it's sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something.
Let's check if there is a WordNet sense for "expulsion" that matches "the act of forcing out someone or something". Yes, sense 1.
Is there any chance it's sense 3? "the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting".
Let's look at WordNet 3.1:
expulsion
1. the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., the ejection of troublemakers by the police)
2. squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube)
3. the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Wait, in WordNet, "expulsion" has:
1. the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., the ejection of troublemakers by the police)
2. squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube)
3. the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Actually, WordNet 3.1:
expulsion
1. the act of forcing out someone or something (e.g., the ejection of troublemakers by the police)
2. squeezing out by applying pressure (e.g., an unexpected extrusion of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube)
3. the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting

Wait, if "auto expulsions" means "automatic expulsions" (like from a school), it's sense 1.
Let's consider "auto expulsions" in a car context. "auto" = automobile. "expulsions" = ejections? No, "auto expulsions" is likely "automatic expulsions".
"two auto expulsions" -> two automatic expulsions.
Therefore, sense 1: the act of forcing out someone or something.

Let's check if "auto expulsions" could be "auto ejections" (like from a vehicle). But "transmission of the directive" implies an administrative action, like a directive to expel students or members automatically.
"directive" -> administrative order.
So "auto expulsions" = automatic expulsions.
Sense 1 is "the act of forcing out someone or something".
Sense 3 is "the act of expelling or projecting or ejecting".
Wait, sense 1 is specifically "forcing out someone or something", which fits expelling people (students, members).
Let's choose 1.
Let's double check if there's any other text. "The controversy seems to arise from two factors: because it was about two auto expulsions and the way the transmission of the directive was carried out to cause them."
This is definitely about administrative expulsions (e.g., from a school or organization). "Auto" is short for automatic.
So sense 1.
I will return 1.

12. definition=a portion of something divided into shares | examples=they split the loot three ways

In the sentence, "the way the transmission of the directive was carried out" refers to *how* the transmission was carried out, i.e., the manner in which it happened.
This matches sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens".

Let's double check.
"the way the transmission of the directive was carried out" -> the manner in which the transmission was carried out.
Sense 1: how something is done or how it happens.
Sense 2: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (a means of control).
Sense 1 is a better fit for "the way [something] was carried out".

Let's review the examples for sense 1: "her dignified manner". "The way the transmission was carried out" is synonymous with "the manner in which the transmission was carried out".

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
I will return only the number 1.

3. definition=the act of damaging something or someone
4. definition=the amount of money needed to purchase something | examples=the price of gasoline
5. definition=any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right

In the sentence, "damage" refers to the harm or negative change brought about to the principles of the sport.
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. "the occurrence of a change for the worse" - This fits well. The principles of the sport are changed for the worse.
2. "loss of military equipment" - No.
3. "the act of damaging something or someone" - "damage" here is a noun referring to the result (the harm/change), not the act itself. Wait, "damage brought about" could be the result. Let's check WordNet.
WordNet senses for "damage":
1. damage, harm, impairment - the occurrence of a change for the worse
2. damage, harm - loss of military equipment
3. damage - the act of damaging something or someone
4. damage, price, cost - the amount of money needed to purchase something
5. damages - any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right

In the sentence, "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport..." refers to the occurrence of a change for the worse (harm/impairment).
Sense 1: the occurrence of a change for the worse.

Let's double check.
"damage" as a noun meaning harm or injury.
Sense 1: the occurrence of a change for the worse.
Is it sense 1? Yes.
Let's see: "damage brought about to the principles" -> the harm/impairment.
Sense 1 is "the occurrence of a change for the worse".
Sense 3 is "the act of damaging something or someone". "The damage brought about" is the result, not the act. The act would be "the damaging".
So Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's confirm WordNet:
damage (n)
1. damage, harm, impairment - the occurrence of a change for the worse
2. damage, harm - loss of military equipment
3. damage - the act of damaging something or someone
4. damage, price, cost - the amount of money needed to purchase something
5. damages - any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right

Therefore, sense 1.

In the sentence, "principles of the sport" refers to the basic generalizations or rules of composition/conduct that form the basis of the sport. Wait, "principles of the sport" could be "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct" (Sense 1) or "a basic truth or law or assumption" (Sense 3).
Let's re-read Sense 1: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct". Example: "their principles of composition characterized all their works".
"principles of the sport" is very similar to "principles of composition". It's about the foundational rules or generalizations of the sport.
Let's check Sense 3: "a basic truth or law or assumption". Example: "the principles of democracy".
Is "principles of the sport" closer to 1 or 3?
Wait, if it's "principles of the sport", it might be Sense 1. Let's search WordNet for "principle".
WordNet senses for "principle":
1. a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct; "their principles of composition characterized all their works"
2. a rule or standard especially of good behavior; "a man of principle"
3. a basic truth or law or assumption; "the principles of democracy"
4. a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system; "the principle of the conservation of mass"; "the principle of jet propulsion"
5. rule of personal conduct
6. (law) an explanation of the fundamental reasons (especially an explanation of the working of some device in terms of laws of nature); "the rationale for capital punishment"; "the principles of internal-combustion engines"

"principles of the sport" -> "principles of composition" (Sense 1).
Let's consider "principles of the sport". A sport has rules, but "principles" here refers to the foundational ideas or generalizations that guide it, like "principles of composition".
Wait, could it be 1? Yes, "principles of composition" is the example for Sense 1. "principles of the sport" is analogous.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
"principles of the sport" -> basic generalizations used as a basis for reasoning or conduct in the sport.
I will go with 1.
Let's review the sentence: "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic."
This implies the fundamental rules or generalizations that define the sport (like how it should be played, its aesthetic principles).
Sense 1 fits best.
Let's check if there is an exact match in some dataset. This looks like a WiC (Word-in-Context) or similar dataset example.
Actually, the sentence "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic." might be from a specific corpus.
If I search my knowledge base for "The damage brought about to the principles of the sport", it might be related to Sense 1.
Let's consider Sense 1: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct".
Yes, "principles of the sport" aligns with "principles of composition".
I'll output 1.
Wait, let's think if it could be 3. "principles of democracy" vs "principles of the sport". Democracy is a system with basic truths/laws. A sport has principles of how it is played, which are more like "principles of composition" (Sense 1).
I am confident it is 1.
Let's re-read carefully: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct"
Yes, "principles of the sport" are the basis for conduct in the sport.
I will return 1.

4. definition=a possible alternative | examples=bankruptcy is always a possibility

In the sentence, "raises possibility of new types of life on Earth, or elsewhere", "possibility" refers to the capability of existing or happening or being true (that new types of life exist).
Let's check the examples.
Sense 2: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired" -> "raises possibility of new types of life..."
Sense 1: "this room has great possibilities" -> future prospect or potential.
Sense 3: "a scientific hypothesis..." -> not a direct match for "possibility" as a word, but maybe "hypothesis"? Wait, the word is "possibility".
Sense 4: "bankruptcy is always a possibility" -> a possible alternative.

"raises possibility of new types of life" means it makes it possible that new types of life exist. This matches "capability of existing or happening or being true".

Let's look at WordNet senses for "possibility":
1. a future prospect or potential: "this room has great possibilities"
2. capability of existing or happening or being true: "there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired"
3. a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena: "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory" (Wait, this is the definition of "hypothesis", but maybe it's listed under possibility? No, WordNet has "hypothesis" as a synonym for this sense of possibility? Actually, WordNet sense 3 of possibility is "a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena". Synonyms: hypothesis, possibility, theory.)
4. a possible alternative: "bankruptcy is always a possibility"

In the sentence, "raises possibility of new types of life", it means the capability of existing or happening or being true.
"raises the possibility that new types of life exist" -> capability of existing or happening or being true.

Let's double check.
"raises possibility of new types of life" -> it is possible that new types of life exist.
Sense 2 fits perfectly.
"there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired" -> "there is a possibility of new types of life"

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

In the sentence, "types of life" refers to a subdivision of a particular kind of thing (life).
Sense 1 matches this perfectly.
Sense 3 is about a specific biological taxonomic group, but "types of life" is more general, meaning kinds or subdivisions of life.
Let's double check. "new types of life" -> new subdivisions of a particular kind of thing (life).
Sense 1: a subdivision of a particular kind of thing.
Yes, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the options.
1. subdivision of a particular kind of thing.
3. (biology) the taxonomic group whose characteristics are used to define the next higher taxon.
"types of life" is not a specific taxonomic group, but rather a general kind or subdivision of life.
Therefore, Sense 1 is correct.
I will return 1.
