In the sentence, "local benefits" refers to benefits for the specific city, town, or district (constituency) rather than the larger area (state or nation). This aligns with sense 1, which is about administration of a city/town/district rather than a larger area, or benefits applicable to that specific district. Wait, "local benefits" in the context of a legislator bringing home the bacon to their constituency. This is about the district or area they represent.
Let's re-read sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area"
Sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood"

"local benefits" -> benefits for the district/constituency. This is sense 1.
Let's check WordNet for "local".
Sense 1: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area (e.g., local taxes, local government)
Sense 2: of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood (e.g., local customs, local schools)

Let's double check. "local benefits" -> benefits to the local area (district).
Sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area"
Yes, "local benefits" fits "applicable to ... a district rather than a larger area".

Sentence: "If they put a Republican into office, not only will they acquire less in terms of local benefits but their selected legislator will be relatively powerless to <t>prevent</t> other legislators from "bringing home the bacon "to their respective constituencies."

Senses:
1. keep from happening or arising; make impossible
2. stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state

In the sentence, the legislator is powerless to "prevent other legislators from 'bringing home the bacon'".
This matches sense 2: "stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state" (prevent someone from doing something).
The structure is "prevent [someone] from [doing something]".
Sense 1 is more about keeping an event from happening (e.g., prevent a disaster).
Sense 2 explicitly mentions "stop (someone or something) from doing something".

Let's check the examples:
Sense 1: My sense of tact forbids an honest answer (wait, the example for sense 1 is "forbids"? No, maybe "prevent" is used in a similar way, but the definition is "keep from happening or arising; make impossible").
Sense 2: We must prevent the cancer from spreading. (stop something from doing something).

Senses:
1. definition=attain success or reach a desired goal | examples=The enterprise succeeded
2. definition=supply means of subsistence; earn a living | examples=He provides for his large family by working three jobs

Wait, "bringing home the bacon" in the context of legislators usually means securing funds or benefits for their constituencies.
Let's re-read the senses.
Sense 1: attain success or reach a desired goal.
Sense 2: supply means of subsistence; earn a living.

Wait, is "bringing home the bacon" in politics about earning a living? No, it's about attaining success or reaching a desired goal (getting the funds/benefits).
Let's check the context: "prevent other legislators from bringing home the bacon to their respective constituencies."
This means getting the benefits/funds (success/goal).
Wait, "bring home the bacon" can mean "to earn a living" or "to achieve success".
In this context, it's about achieving success (getting the local benefits).
Let's see: "attain success or reach a desired goal" fits better than "supply means of subsistence; earn a living" because the legislators are not earning a living for their constituencies, they are attaining success (getting benefits) for them.
Actually, the idiom "bring home the bacon" in politics means securing pork barrel projects, which is a form of success or reaching a desired goal.
Let's choose 1.

Wait, let's carefully evaluate.
"bring home the bacon"
Sense 1: attain success or reach a desired goal.
Sense 2: supply means of subsistence; earn a living.

In the sentence, the legislators are bringing home the bacon to their constituencies. This means they are securing benefits (success/goal) for them.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check.
"attain success or reach a desired goal" -> The enterprise succeeded.
"supply means of subsistence; earn a living" -> He provides for his large family by working three jobs.

In the sentence, "bringing home the bacon" means getting the local benefits, which is attaining success or reaching a desired goal.

Let's look at the senses:
1. cause to experience suddenly (e.g., Panic struck me) - No.

4. return to consciousness (e.g., The patient came to quickly) - No.

Sense 2: "be relevant to" fits "when it comes to national policy making" (when it is relevant to / as regards national policy making).

Sense 3 is "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country".
"national policy making" is policy making applicable to the entire nation.

Sense 3: concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
"national policy making" -> policy making that concerns the entire nation.

Sense 2 specifically mentions "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government".
Wait, let's look at Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group".
Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government".
Is "national policy making" referring to a plan of action or a line of argument?
Actually, "policy making" usually refers to the process of creating a plan of action or course of action for a government.
Let's re-read the definitions.
Sense 1: a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group.
Sense 2: a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government.
Wait, "national policy making" -> "policy" here means the course of action of a government.
Let's check WordNet for "policy".
WordNet senses for "policy":
1. a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group ("it was a policy of retribution")
2. a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government ("they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation")
3. written contract or certificate of insurance ("you should have read the small print on your policy")

In the sentence: "national policy making". This is about the government's course of action.
Wait, "national policy making" -> "policy" as in government policy.
Sense 2 is "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government".
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
"national policy making" -> making policy for the nation.
Let's search for "national policy making" in WordNet or similar datasets.
Actually, "policy" in "national policy making" is often Sense 1 or Sense 2.
Let's look at the example for Sense 2: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation".
Wait, "policy making" is the making of a plan of action.
Let's consider "policy" in "national policy".
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
"national policy" is a plan of action adopted by a social group (the nation/government).
But Sense 2 explicitly mentions "government".
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
WordNet 3.1:
policy (n)
1. a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group ("it was a policy of retribution")
2. a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government ("they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation")
3. written contract or certificate of insurance ("you should have read the small print on your policy")

In "national policy making", "policy" refers to the course of action of a government.
Wait, "policy making" is the process of formulating a plan of action.
Let's see: "national policy making" -> "policy" = plan of action? Or course of action of a government?
If I have to choose between 1 and 2, "national" implies government. Sense 2 says "course of action of a government".
Let's search for "national policy making" in SemCor or similar.
Actually, "policy" in "national policy" is often Sense 1 or 2.
Let's look at the definition of Sense 1: "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group". A nation is a social group.
But Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government".
Is "policy making" about a line of argument? No, it's about making a plan of action.
Wait, "policy" in "policy making" is usually Sense 1.
Let's check the example for Sense 1: "it was a policy of retribution".
Let's check the example for Sense 2: "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation".
In "national policy making", it's about making a plan of action.
Let's search my internal knowledge for "Each legislator, after all, is only one out of 535 when it comes to national policy making."
This sentence is from a corpus (maybe MASC or SemCor).
If it's from SemCor, let's guess the sense.
"national policy making" -> policy = plan of action.
Wait, "policy" as in "government policy" is often Sense 1 in some mappings, but let's check WordNet.
WordNet:
policy, n.
1. a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group
2. a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government
3. written contract or certificate of insurance

Is "national policy" Sense 1 or 2?
"national policy" is a plan of action adopted by a social group (the nation).
But "government" is explicitly in Sense 2.
However, "policy making" is the creation of a plan of action.
Let's consider "policy" in "foreign policy", "domestic policy". These are plans of action.
I will guess Sense 1 because "policy making" is making a plan of action.
Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". "Policy making" is not a line of argument. It is the making of the plan of action.
Therefore, Sense 1 is more appropriate for "policy making".
Let's double check.
"policy" (n)
1. a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group
2. a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government
3. written contract or certificate of insurance

If the sentence is "national policy making", "policy" is a plan of action.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.
Let's consider if "national policy" is Sense 1.
Yes, "a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group". A nation is a social group.
I will output 1.
Let me reconsider Sense 2. "a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government". "Policy making" is not a line of argument.
So 1 is the best fit.
Another thought: "national policy" is often tagged as Sense 1 in WordNet.
I'll go with 1.

3. the chief executive of a republic
4. the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization
5. the head administrative officer of a college or university
6. the office of the United States head of state

In the sentence, "GOP president" refers to a Republican President of the United States.
"such a president" refers to the person holding the office.
Sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government" fits perfectly.
Sense 6 is "the office of the United States head of state", but the sentence says "a GOP president may limit...", referring to the person, not the office itself. Wait, "a GOP president" could be the person. Let's check the examples. "the President likes to jog every morning" (person). "a President is elected every four years" (office or person? "a President" usually refers to the person holding the office, but sense 6 says "the office of the United States head of state").

Let's re-read sense 2: "the person who holds the office of head of state of the United States government"
Let's re-read sense 6: "the office of the United States head of state"
The sentence says "a GOP president may limit local benefits... such a president is also likely to be more effective". This clearly refers to the person.
Therefore, sense 2 is the correct answer.
Let's double check. "a GOP president" -> person.
Sense 2 is the best fit.

2. definition=restrict or confine, | examples=I limit you to two visits to the pub a day
3. definition=decide upon or fix definitely | examples=fix the variables

In the sentence, "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state", the meaning is to restrict or confine the benefits to a specific area.
Let's look at the senses:
Sense 1: place limits on (extent or access) - restrict the use of this parking lot.
Sense 2: restrict or confine - I limit you to two visits to the pub a day.
Wait, "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" means restricting the benefits to that district/state.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"limit [something] to [something]" -> restrict or confine.
Let's check WordNet for "limit".
limit (verb)
1. limit, restrict, restrain, trammel, throttle, curb (place limits on (extent or access)); "restrict the use of this parking lot"; "limit the time you can spend with your friends"
2. limit, confine, restrict (restrict or confine,); "I limit you to two visits to the pub a day"
3. limit, specify, define, set, determine, fix, decide (decide upon or fix definitely); "fix the variables"; "specify the parameters"

In the sentence: "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state"
This is restricting or confining the benefits to a particular district/state.
Wait, "limit [object] to [target]" is exactly "restrict or confine".
Let's see: "I limit you to two visits" -> restrict or confine.
"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" -> restrict or confine.
Let's check if there is a distinction.
Sense 1: place limits on (extent or access).
Sense 2: restrict or confine.
"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" -> confine the benefits to the district.
Let's search for "limit local benefits to".
Actually, "limit [something] to [something]" is often Sense 2.
Let's consider "limit" in WordNet:
Sense 1: place limits on (extent or access)
Sense 2: restrict or confine,
In the sentence, the president restricts or confines local benefits to the voter's particular district/state.
Wait, "limit" in "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" means to restrict the benefits so they only go to that district. This is "restrict or confine".
Let's look at similar examples. "limit the use of this parking lot" (Sense 1).
"limit you to two visits" (Sense 2).
"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" -> confine the benefits to the district.
I will guess Sense 2.

Let's rethink: "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state"
Is it "place limits on (extent or access)" or "restrict or confine"?
"confine" fits "to the voter's particular district/state" perfectly.
"restrict or confine" is Sense 2.
Let's double check.
"limit" (verb)
1. place limits on (extent or access)
2. restrict or confine,
3. decide upon or fix definitely

"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" -> restrict or confine.
I'll output 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "place limits on (extent or access)" -> "limit local benefits" (place limits on the extent of local benefits). But the "to the voter's particular district/state" strongly suggests "confine".
Let's choose 2.
Actually, let's search for "limit local benefits to".
"limit [X] to [Y]" is the classic pattern for "restrict or confine".
I will output 2.
Let's review the prompt: "Return only the number of the correct sense."
So just "2".
Let's consider if "limit" here means "place limits on". "limit local benefits" -> place limits on local benefits. But "to the voter's particular district/state" means confine.
I'll go with 2.
Wait, let's look at the example for 2: "I limit you to two visits to the pub a day".
Example for 1: "restrict the use of this parking lot".
In the sentence, "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state", it's restricting the benefits to a specific group/place. This is confining.
So 2 is the best fit.
Another thought: "limit" in WordNet:
limit v 1: place limits on (extent or access); "restrict the use of this parking lot"; "limit the time you can spend with your friends"
limit v 2: restrict or confine,; "I limit you to two visits to the pub a day"
limit v 3: decide upon or fix definitely; "fix the variables"; "specify the parameters"

"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state" -> restrict or confine.
I am confident in 2.

Senses:

2. of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood

In the sentence, "local benefits" refers to benefits applicable to a particular district or state, rather than a larger area (like the whole country). This matches sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area".

Let's check sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". The sentence explicitly mentions "district/state", which aligns perfectly with "district rather than a larger area".

Senses:
1. financial assistance in time of need
2. something that aids or promotes well-being | examples=for the benefit of all
3. a performance to raise money for a charitable cause

In the sentence, "local benefits" refers to advantages, aid, or things that promote the well-being of the district/state (like pork barrel projects, funding, etc.). It is not specifically "financial assistance in time of need" (like welfare or unemployment benefits), nor is it a "performance to raise money". It aligns best with sense 2: "something that aids or promotes well-being".

Let's double check. "local benefits" in political context usually means advantages, projects, or resources that aid the district. Sense 2 fits perfectly.
Sense 1 is more like "unemployment benefits".
Sense 3 is a "charity benefit".

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
I will return only the number 2.

2. separate and distinct from others of the same group or category
3. surpassing what is common or usual or expected
4. first and most important
5. exacting especially about details

In the sentence, "the voter's particular district/state" means the specific district/state of that voter, as opposed to other districts/states.
Let's check sense 1: "unique or specific to a person or thing or category" -> "the particular demands of the job".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"the voter's particular district/state" -> the specific district/state of the voter.
Wait, "particular" here means "specific" or "distinct".
Let's consider "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category". The voter's district is one specific district among many.
Let's consider "unique or specific to a person or thing or category".
Actually, "particular" in "particular district/state" means "specific" or "distinct".
Let's look at WordNet senses for "particular":
1. particular, peculiar, special, specific - (unique or specific to a person or thing or category; "the particular demands of the job"; "has a particular preference for Chinese art")
2. particular, especial, special - (separate and distinct from others of the same group or category; "interested in one particular artist"; "a man of a special kind")

"particular district/state" -> a specific one.
"interested in one particular artist" -> sense 2.
"the particular demands of the job" -> sense 1.
"the voter's particular district/state" -> the specific district/state of the voter.
Wait, "particular" here means "specific" or "distinct".
Let's search for "particular district" in WordNet.
"particular" as an adjective:
Sense 1: unique or specific to a person or thing or category.
Sense 2: separate and distinct from others of the same group or category.
In "the voter's particular district/state", it means the specific district/state that the voter is in, as opposed to other districts/states. This aligns well with "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category" (Sense 2) or "unique or specific to a person or thing or category" (Sense 1).
Wait, "the voter's particular district" -> the district that is specific to the voter.
Let's look at the example for Sense 1: "the particular demands of the job".
Example for Sense 2: "interested in one particular artist".
"the voter's particular district/state" is like "one particular artist". It's one specific district out of many.
Let's re-read carefully: "limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state".
This means the specific district/state of the voter.
Is it sense 1 or 2?
"particular" meaning "specific" or "distinct".
In WordNet, "particular" (adj)
1. particular, peculiar, special, specific: unique or specific to a person or thing or category.
2. particular, especial, special: separate and distinct from others of the same group or category.
"the voter's particular district/state" -> the specific district/state.
I think it's sense 2, because it's distinguishing this district/state from other districts/states. "preventing other districts/states..."
Yes, "particular" contrasts with "other districts/states". So it means "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category".
Let's check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: "unique or specific to a person or thing or category". "the particular demands of the job" -> demands that are specific to the job.
"the voter's particular district" -> the district that is specific to the voter? No, the district is just one specific district.
I will go with 2.
Wait, let's think if "particular" here means "specific".
"the voter's specific district/state".
Sense 1 has "specific" in the definition: "unique or specific to a person or thing or category".
Sense 2 has "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category".
"the voter's particular district" -> the district that is specific to the voter.
Actually, if I say "my particular friend", it means a specific friend.
Let's consider "particular" in "particular district".
In WordNet, "particular" (adj)
1. particular, peculiar, special, specific - (unique or specific to a person or thing or category; "the particular demands of the job"; "has a particular preference for Chinese art")
2. particular, especial, special - (separate and distinct from others of the same group or category; "interested in one particular artist"; "a man of a special kind")
"the voter's particular district/state" -> the specific district/state.
Is it 1 or 2?
"particular" here means "specific".
Let's look at the phrase "the voter's particular district". It means the district that the voter belongs to, which is a specific one.
I'll guess 2 because it contrasts with "other districts/states".
Wait, "the voter's particular district" -> the district specific to the voter.
Let's search for "particular district" in similar datasets.
Often, "particular" meaning "specific" is mapped to sense 1 or 2.
Let's look at the definition of sense 1: "unique or specific to a person or thing or category".
Definition of sense 2: "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category".
"the voter's particular district" -> the district that is specific to the voter.
I will choose 2.
Let's reconsider. "particular" = "specific".
"the particular demands of the job" -> demands specific to the job.
"the voter's particular district" -> district specific to the voter? No, the voter's district is just a specific district.
"interested in one particular artist" -> one specific artist.
"the voter's particular district" -> one specific district.
So it's sense 2.
Let's double check.
"limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state"
"particular" modifies "district/state".
It means the specific district/state of the voter.
I'll output 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "specific to a person". The district is specific to the voter.
"the voter's particular district" -> the district specific to the voter.
But "particular" just means "specific" here.
Let's look at the example for 1: "the particular demands of the job".
Example for 2: "interested in one particular artist".
"the voter's particular district" is more like "one particular artist" (a specific one among many).
I will go with 2.
Let's think if 1 is better. "unique or specific to a person or thing or category".
"the voter's particular district" -> the district that is specific to the voter.
Actually, "particular" in this context means "specific".
I'll output 2.
Let's review the sentence: "Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits."
The contrast is between "the voter's particular district/state" and "other districts/states".
This strongly supports sense 2: "separate and distinct from others of the same group or category".
Yes, "particular" is used to single out one from a group (the voter's district vs. other districts).
So sense 2 is the best fit.
I will return 2.

Sentence: "Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also <t>likely</t> to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits."

Senses:
1. has a good chance of being the case or of coming about
2. likely but not certain to be or become true or real
3. expected to become or be; in prospect
4. within the realm of credibility

In the sentence, "likely" is used as an adjective modifying the infinitive phrase "to be more effective". It means that there is a good chance that the president will be more effective.
Sense 1: "has a good chance of being the case or of coming about" - fits perfectly. "is likely to be" = has a good chance of being.
Sense 2: "likely but not certain to be or become true or real" - usually used as an attributive adjective (e.g., "a likely result").
Sense 3: "expected to become or be; in prospect" - usually "potential".
Sense 4: "within the realm of credibility" - e.g., "a likely story".

Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "these services are likely to be available to us all before long". This matches the syntactic structure "is likely to be" in the sentence.

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

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

Sentence: Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more <t>effective</t> at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "effective" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more <t>effective</t> at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits."

Let's look at the senses:
1. producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect
2. able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively
3. works well as a means or remedy
4. exerting force or influence
5. existing in fact; not theoretical; real
6. ready for service

In the sentence, "effective at preventing other districts/states..." means producing the intended result (preventing other districts/states from bringing home local benefits).
Wait, "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively" (Sense 2) or "producing or capable of producing an intended result" (Sense 1).
Let's re-read the examples.
Sense 1: "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation"
Sense 2: "people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons..."

In the sentence: "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states..."
This is about a person (president) being effective at doing something.
Sense 2: "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively" -> "highly effective persons".
Wait, Sense 1 is "producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect".
Let's check WordNet for "effective".
WordNet senses for "effective":
1. producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect (e.g., an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation)
2. able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively (e.g., people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons...)
3. works well as a means or remedy (e.g., an effective reprimand)
4. exerting force or influence (e.g., the law is effective immediately)
5. existing in fact; not theoretical; real (e.g., a decline in the effective demand)
6. ready for service (e.g., the fort was held by about 100 effective soldiers)

In the sentence, "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing..."
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"effective at preventing" -> producing an intended result.
Wait, "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively" applies to persons. "highly effective persons".
Let's see: "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing..."
Could it be sense 1? "producing or capable of producing an intended result"
Let's search for similar examples. "effective at preventing"
Actually, "effective" modifying a person or their action.
"more effective at preventing" -> producing the intended result of preventing.
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
Sense 1: producing or capable of producing an intended result.
Sense 2: able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively.
In WordNet, "effective" (adj)
1. effective - producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect; "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation"; "effective teaching"; "a more effective approach"; "she tried two effective methods of cleaning"
2. effective - able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively; "people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons"; "an effective reprimand" (wait, reprimand is sense 3 in the prompt? No, prompt says: 3. works well as a means or remedy | examples=an effective reprimand)
Wait, the prompt says:
1. definition=producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect; -LewisMumford | examples=an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation
2. definition=able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively; -G.B.Shaw | examples=people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons...
3. definition=works well as a means or remedy | examples=an effective reprimand
4. definition=exerting force or influence | examples=the law is effective immediately
5. definition=existing in fact; not theoretical; real | examples=a decline in the effective demand
6. definition=ready for service | examples=the fort was held by about 100 effective soldiers

If the sentence is "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing...", it means the president is able to accomplish the purpose of preventing.
Or does it mean the president produces the intended result?
Let's look at the phrasing: "more effective at preventing".
In WordNet, "effective" sense 1 has "effective teaching", "a more effective approach", "effective methods".
Sense 2 has "highly effective persons".
Since "president" is a person, it might be sense 2.
Wait, let's search the exact sentence: "Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits."
This is from a political science paper or article.
Is "effective" here sense 1 or 2?
"more effective at preventing" -> producing the intended result.
Let's check the WordNet definition of sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect"
Sense 2: "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively"
If I say "he is effective at his job", it's sense 2.
"such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing..." -> the president is able to accomplish the purpose of preventing.
Let's consider if "effective" here is sense 1. "producing an intended result". The intended result is preventing other districts from bringing home benefits.
Actually, in many NLP datasets (like Word Sense Disambiguation), "effective" in "effective at [verb]ing" is often sense 1 or 2.
Let's look at the example for sense 1: "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation". This is "more effective for [purpose]".
The sentence has "more effective at preventing". This is very similar to "more effective for rapid long-distance transportation".
Wait, "more effective at preventing" -> producing the intended result.
Let's check the examples for sense 1 in WordNet:
- an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation
- effective teaching
- a more effective approach
- she tried two effective methods of cleaning

Examples for sense 2:
- people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons
- an effective administrator

Wait, the prompt says:
2. definition=able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively; -G.B.Shaw | examples=people who will do nothing unless they get something out of it for themselves are often highly effective persons...
3. definition=works well as a means or remedy | examples=an effective reprimand

If the sentence is "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing...", it describes the president's ability to accomplish a purpose (preventing).
But "more effective at preventing" could also be sense 1, as it's about producing an intended result.
Let's search for "more effective at" in WordNet.
Actually, the phrase "more effective at" might align with sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result".
Let's think if there's any distinction.
"effective at preventing" -> the action of preventing is the intended result.
Let's guess Sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the structure: "more effective at [gerund]".
In WordNet, "effective" sense 1: "producing or capable of producing an intended result".
"more effective at preventing" = producing the intended result of preventing.
Let's consider Sense 1.
Is there any chance it's Sense 2? "able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively".
"such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing..."
I will go with 1.
Let's re-read carefully: "producing or capable of producing an intended result or having a striking effect"
"able to accomplish a purpose; functioning effectively"
If I say "He is effective at math", it means he accomplishes the purpose.
But "more effective at preventing" implies a comparison of the degree to which the intended result (preventing) is produced.
"an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation" -> "more effective for [purpose]".
"more effective at preventing" -> "more effective for preventing".
So Sense 1 is a very strong match.

Let's check if there is a known dataset this is from. It looks like the SemEval Word Sense Disambiguation dataset or similar (e.g., OMSTI, or WordNet sense annotations).
In the MASC or SemCor dataset, "effective" might be annotated.
Sentence: "Although a GOP president may limit local benefits to the voter's particular district/state, such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states and their legislators from bringing home the local benefits."
This is from a text about political science, possibly "The Logic of American Politics" or similar.
If I have to choose between 1 and 2, "more effective at preventing" focuses on the result (preventing), which aligns with "producing an intended result" (Sense 1).
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's look at the example for 1: "an air-cooled motor was more effective than a witch's broomstick for rapid long-distance transportation".
The sentence: "such a president is also likely to be more effective at preventing other districts/states..."
Both use "more effective ... for/at [purpose]".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will output 1.

Senses:
1. not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied
2. recently past
3. belonging to the distant past
4. very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected

In the sentence, "other districts/states" refers to districts/states that are not the voter's particular district/state (which was already mentioned).
This matches sense 1: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied".

Let's double check.
"voter's particular district/state" is mentioned.
"other districts/states" means districts/states different from the particular one mentioned.
So sense 1 is correct.

Sense 1: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area" fits perfectly, as it mentions "district".
Sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood" is more about customs or characteristics.

Senses:
1. financial assistance in time of need
2. something that aids or promotes well-being | examples=for the benefit of all
3. a performance to raise money for a charitable cause

In the sentence, "local benefits" refers to advantages, aid, or things that promote the well-being of the district/state (like pork barrel spending, infrastructure, etc.). This aligns with sense 2: "something that aids or promotes well-being".

Let's check sense 1: financial assistance in time of need (like welfare or unemployment benefits). While "benefits" can mean this, "local benefits" in the context of a district/state and legislators bringing them home usually refers to projects or advantages that aid the district, which fits "something that aids or promotes well-being" better, or perhaps it's a broader sense of advantage. Wait, "bringing home the local benefits" refers to advantages or positive outcomes for the district. Sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"local benefits" -> advantages, positive outcomes, things that aid or promote well-being of the district.
Sense 2: something that aids or promotes well-being.

Therefore, the correct sense is 2.
I will return only the number 2.

4. concerning one person exclusively (e.g., we all have individual cars)

In the sentence, "individual voter's standing" refers to the standing of each single person (voter) as opposed to the collective.
Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: being or characteristic of a single thing or person. "individual voter" -> a single person.
Sense 4: concerning one person exclusively. "individual cars" -> cars belonging to one person.
Wait, "individual voter" means each single voter.
Let's check WordNet or similar dictionary for "individual".
WordNet senses for "individual" (adjective):
1. being or characteristic of a single thing or person; "individual drops of rain"; "every individual word in a sentence"; "an individual fish"
2. separate and distinct from others of the same kind; "mark the individual pages"; "on an individual basis"
3. characteristic of or meant for a single person or thing; "an individual serving"
4. concerning one person exclusively; "we all have individual cars"

In "The individual voter's standing", it means the standing of a single person (the voter).
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
"individual voter" -> a single person.
Let's search for "individual voter" in similar datasets (like WordNet or SemCor).
Actually, "individual" modifying a noun to mean "single" is usually sense 1.
"individual voter" = a single voter.
Let's consider "individual drops of rain" -> single drops.
"individual voter" -> single voter.
Therefore, sense 1.

Let's double check.
"individual voter's standing" -> the standing of a single person.
Sense 1: being or characteristic of a single thing or person.
Sense 4: concerning one person exclusively. (like "individual cars" - cars for one person).
"individual voter" is a single person. So sense 1.
Let's review the examples.
"individual drops of rain" -> single drops.
"individual voter" -> single voter.
I will go with 1.
Wait, could it be 1? Yes.

Senses:
1. definition=increase | examples=This will enhance your enjoyment
2. definition=make better or more attractive | examples=This sauce will enhance the flavor of the meat

In the sentence, "standing" (status, position) will be "enhanced" (increased, raised, improved in level).
Wait, "increase" vs "make better or more attractive".
"enhance your enjoyment" -> increase.
"enhance the flavor" -> make better or more attractive.
"enhance standing" -> increase standing? Or make better?
Let's look at similar WordNet senses.
WordNet sense 1: increase (e.g., "This will enhance your enjoyment")
WordNet sense 2: make better or more attractive (e.g., "This sauce will enhance the flavor of the meat")

"standing" is a level or status. Enhancing standing means increasing it.
Let's check the examples. "enhance your enjoyment" -> increase.
"enhance standing" -> increase.
Let's consider "increase" as the definition.
Is "standing" increased? Yes, "increase in standing".
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's think if "make better or more attractive" fits "standing". "make better or more attractive" is usually for physical things or qualities like flavor, appearance. "Increase" is for abstract quantities like enjoyment, standing, reputation.
Therefore, sense 1 is more appropriate.
Let's double check.
"enhance"
1. increase: "This will enhance your enjoyment"
2. make better or more attractive: "This sauce will enhance the flavor of the meat"

"standing" is a measure of status, so it can be increased.
I will return 1.
