The word "states" here refers to the constituent administrative districts of a nation (the United States).

2. definition=the way something is with respect to its main attributes
3. definition=the group of people comprising the government of a sovereign state

"26 states" -> constituent administrative districts of a nation.
Sense 1 is the correct sense.

Sentence: "One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare <t>overhaul</t> passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide."

Senses:

In the sentence, "healthcare overhaul" refers to a major change, improvement, or renewal of the healthcare system (a law passed by Congress). This aligns with sense 2: "the act of improving by renewing and restoring".

Sense 1 is about periodic maintenance on a car or machine, which doesn't fit "healthcare overhaul".

In the sentence, "last year" refers to the previous calendar year, which is a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days.
Therefore, sense 1 is the correct one.
Let's double check.
"last year" -> the year before the current one. This is a period of time containing 365 or 366 days.
Sense 1 matches perfectly.
Sense 2 is for specific activities (school year, fiscal year).

The word "law" here refers to the "sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year". This is a specific legal document or statute setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity (healthcare).

Let's look at the senses:
1. the collection of rules imposed by authority (e.g., respect for the law)
2. legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity (e.g., there is a law against kidnapping)
3. a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature...

Sense 2 fits best: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity". The healthcare overhaul passed by Congress is a specific law (statute).

Let's double check.
"passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry..."
Yes, it refers to a specific piece of legislation, which is a legal document setting forth rules.

Sense 1 is more abstract (the law in general).
Sense 2 is a specific law (a law against kidnapping, a healthcare law).

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.

Context: "justices agreed to hear the suit", "landmark 5.5-hour argument is expected in March", "court's decision".
This refers to a legal argument, which is a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal (in a court of law, lawyers present arguments for and against a case).
Let's check the senses:
1. fact or assertion offered as evidence
2. contentious speech act; dispute
3. discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal
4. summary of subject or plot
5. computer science reference
6. variable in logical/mathematical expression
7. course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood

Sense 3 fits best: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal". In a court, an oral argument is a discussion where lawyers present reasons for and against a proposition.
Wait, let's re-read sense 3: "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal".
Is it sense 3 or sense 7?
Sense 7: "a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating a truth or falsehood; the methodical process of logical reasoning"
In legal contexts, "oral argument" is a discussion where reasons are advanced for and against a proposition.
Let's look at WordNet senses for "argument":
1. a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true
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

In WordNet, "argument" sense 3 is "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal". Examples: "the argument over foreign aid goes on and on".
Wait, legal argument is often considered sense 3. Let's check WordNet for "argument" in the context of court.
"oral argument" -> a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal.
Let's consider sense 3.
Yes, "a discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal" matches the legal "argument" where both sides present their case.

Let's double check.
Sentence: "a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March"
This is an oral argument in the Supreme Court.
Oral argument is a discussion where reasons are advanced for and against a proposition.
Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the options.
1. fact or assertion
2. contentious speech act
3. discussion in which reasons are advanced for and against some proposition or proposal
4. summary
5. computer science
6. math
7. course of reasoning

Sense 3 is the best fit.

Let's guess 1.
Wait, let's look at the definition of 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".

In the sentence, "the law should be thrown out" refers to a specific legal document or statute (like the Affordable Care Act, given the context of Paul Clement and the George W. Bush administration, though the specific law isn't named, it's a specific statute being challenged in court).
Wait, "thrown out" implies a specific law or statute.
Let's check sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"argue that the law should be thrown out" -> a specific law (statute).
Sense 2: "legal document setting forth rules governing a particular kind of activity" -> "there is a law against kidnapping".
Sense 1: "the collection of rules imposed by authority" -> "respect for the law".
In this context, "the law" refers to a specific statute or act (e.g., the health care law). So sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"argue that the law should be thrown out"
If it were sense 1, it would be "the law" as a general concept. But "thrown out" means invalidated, which applies to a specific legal document or statute.
Therefore, sense 2.
Let's review the examples for sense 2: "there is a law against kidnapping".
Yes, a specific law.
I will return 2.

1. definition=someone who supports or champions something
2. definition=an advocate who presents a person (as for an award or a degree or an introduction etc.)

In the sentence, Pfizer Inc is a sponsor, meaning they are supporting or championing something (likely an event, a cause, or a piece of legislation/litigation, given the context of "financial stake in the outcome of the litigation").
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "someone who supports or champions something".
Sense 2 is about presenting a person for an award or degree, which doesn't fit the context of a pharmaceutical giant having a financial stake in litigation.

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